Can I get a loan against a Fixed Deposit?
Yes, you can. Most banks offer a loan against FD. By using the fixed deposit as a collateral for the loan you can get a loan at lower rates. The rates are usually pegged at a few percentage points higher than the fixed deposit. Usually banks advance up to 90% of the fixed deposit being held in a loan.
