Will there be a any charge levied in case a deposit is closed prematurely?

1. If deposit is withdrawn within 30 days of opening of deposit, no interest would be payable.
2. Where deposit is held for a period greater than 30 days.
   • In case the deposit sought to be withdrawn is held for a period equivalent to a tenure for which deposits are offered by Singapore Branch, the interest on the deposit will be calculated at the rate applicable for deposits of such tenure (as existing at the time of opening of the deposit sought to be broken), less the premature withdrawal fee of 1% flat on the principal and interest, subject to protection of the principal.
