In SBI, Cumulative type FD started with amount of <1 crore(also <15lacs) on Jul 1 2013 at maturity period for 2 years @ 8.75%. Now its Jul 5 2014. I want to Premature close the FD. I know the penalty will be 0.5% below the rate applicable for the period the deposit has remained with the Bank or 0.50% below the contracted rate, whichever is lower. But my doubt is whether rate after penalty will be calculated as for "old rates(8.75-0.5= 8.25%) or revised New rates (9.0-0.5= 8.5%) or any other. Is it wise decision to Premature closure or continue at this stage. What all option after Premature closure of existing FD? Please Guide us .
