Fixed deposits are financial instruments offered by banks and financial institutions where an individual deposits a certain amount of money for a specified period of time, usually at a fixed interest rate. They are considered low-risk investments because the interest rate is predetermined and the principal amount is guaranteed. Fixed deposits typically have terms ranging from a few months to several years, and the interest earned depends on the amount deposited, the interest rate, and the duration of the deposit.
