Hey,
A banker friend told me that FDs have become a popular investment option in the past five years. People have become curious about term deposits in public banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC). I asked him how to stop auto renewal of FD in SBI. Here’s what he shared with me.

I will have to visit a local branch of the State Bank of India to stop the auto-renewal. I will have to speak to a bank representative before the maturity date of FD. Banks auto-renew FD on the current interest rate. Let me share an example.
Assume that I have booked short-term FD with SBI for 7-45 days (below Rs.2 Cr), and then the current applicable interest rate is 2.9%. Currently, the SBI savings account interest rate is 2.7%. After maturity, if I do not stop auto-renew or claim the maturity, then after maturity, on such unclaimed FD, SBI Bank will give you a 2.7% interest rate (as it is lower than the 2.9% FD rate and 2.7% savings account rate).
He shared with me a few cons of auto-renewal as well.
Without any communication regarding auto-renewal, the bank will renew the FD account on its own.
I might have to pay penalty charges as well in case I wish to withdraw the FD amount before it matures.
This is all from my end on how to stop auto renewal of FD in SBI.
