This query is : Resolved
I have put an FD in a Scheduled bank on quarterly interest and after 3 months I have got interest. Due to some personal reason, after 4 months from the date of deposit, I have asked the bank staff to convert the deposit as cumulative. Instead of product change, they have reduced interest by 1.5% from the original interest and paid the interest in the method of preclosure of deposit they have calculated and I have put to a loss.
Some expertvmay kindly offer their opinion on this.

As per RBI guidelines, the interest will be paid and there is such a difference in fixed deposits. However, you can ask for the variation in interest rates through RTI.

Since you opted for a different scheme under fixed deposit the prevailing law for such conversion would be applicable, you may first ascertain the details and then plan to proceed legally.

It is only the Bank who can clarify. if their clarification is unnecessary, you may take up the issue with the Banking Ombudsman.
