Letter to Bank for closing Fixed Deposit FD before/after Maturity

Most of the banks will not entertain request for withdrawal of fixed deposit money before maturity date. If you still request for withdrawal, you might lose a major portion of the interest on it. The bank may even totally waive it as per its terms and conditions.

Whether or not you have submitted the request to withdraw the money before or after the date of maturity the letter format will be the same. The bank will determine on its own the impact of date of withdrawal request on interest amount as per the terms.


Also check with the bank's branch for any prescribed form, because some banks may not take request letters and will only take requests for surrender of FD in their format.
