The STFC offers two kinds of fixed deposits - cumulative and non-cumulative. In the cumulative Fixed Deposit scheme, the interest rate is compounded along with the principal and payable at the time of maturity. However,  in the non-cumulative Fixed Deposit scheme, the interest is payable on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis. The interest earned monthly under this scheme will be taxable. This scheme is most suitable for an individual who requires an interest payout periodically.
