A Senior Citizen FD has the benefit of being able to pledge the fixed deposit as security for a loan when in need of cash. The maximum loan amount approved is determined on the size of your FD's principal. You have a set amount of time to repay the loan in fixed installments. The FD is secured as collateral until the entire loan balance is paid back.

Premature withdrawal facility
Despite the fact that FDs are intended to be held until maturity, many banks allow early withdrawals by older citizens with little penalty. Because of this flexibility, they can access their money in an emergency without suffering a substantial loss.
