Fixed Deposits

DEFINITION

Fixed deposits are bank products that offer secure and predictable returns over a fixed period. Your money stays with the bank for a set length of time, and when it matures, the bank repays your original amount together with the interest earned.

ELI5

It is like locking your money in a bank for a while so it can earn interest. At the end, you get back your money plus the extra interest.
