Yes, in case of premature withdrawal subject to protection of the principal, the amount repayable to the customer will be calculated as follows.
- If deposit is withdrawn within 1 month of opening of deposit, no interest would be payable.
- In case where the interest has been paid out, the penalty is adjusted against any payment due to the customer. This would mean that even in cases where principal is protected, the amount returned could be less than the principal to the extent of interest already paid out to the customer.
- Where deposit is withdrawn after 1 month of opening of deposit:
- In case the deposit sought to be broken is held for a period equivalent to a tenure for which deposits are offered by the Bank, the interest on the deposit would be the rate applicable for deposits of such tenure (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be broken) less 1%.
- In case the deposit sought to be broken is held for a period that falls between two tenures for which deposits are offered by the Bank, the interest on the deposit would be the rate applicable for deposits of the shorter of the two tenures (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be broken) less 1%.
- In case the interest rate applicable to the deposit is less than 1%, no interest is payable on such deposit. However the principal will be protected.
