So, you need a loan, but your pockets are singing the jingle of "Empty Pockets Blues"?
Fear not, fellow friend, for the mighty State Bank of India (SBI) has a solution that's as convenient as your pajamas and potentially less embarrassing than that time you accidentally called your boss "mom" (we've all been there). It's called a Loan Against Fixed Deposit (FD), and it's about to become your new best friend.

But first, a word of caution (don't skip this, it's important!):
This isn't your free money tree in the backyard (although, wouldn't that be nice?). You'll be borrowing against your own FD, so think carefully before you dive in. Remember, with great loans come great responsibility (cue Spiderman music). ️
Now, on to the good stuff! How to snag this magical loan:
1. Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes:
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.![]()
First things first, you need to be an SBI Sherlock and investigate your eligibility (no magnifying glass required, thankfully). Here's the lowdown:
- You gotta be over 21 years old (sorry, teenagers, gotta wait a bit).
- You need to have an existing FD account with SBI (shocker, right?).
- Joint accounts? Not this time, partner. This loan is for solo players only.
- Tax saving FD schemes? They're out of the game too.
2. Embrace your inner techie (or visit your friendly neighborhood SBI branch):
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.![]()
There are two ways to apply for this loan:
- Go digital: Log in to your SBI net banking or Yono SBI app and follow the "Loan Against FD" path. It's like online shopping, but for money (not shoes, sadly).
- Head to your local SBI branch: Channel your inner social butterfly and chat with a friendly banker. They'll guide you through the process.
3. Keep it simple (and avoid unnecessary drama):
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.![]()
The loan amount you can get depends on your FD amount and the bank's policies. Don't expect to borrow millions unless you're secretly a billionaire in disguise.
4. Interest rates? We got you covered:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.![]()
The interest rate on your loan will be slightly higher than your FD interest rate. Think of it as a small fee for the bank's generosity (and maybe to cover the cost of all those free lollipops they hand out).
5. Repayment? Don't be a ghost:
Remember, this is a loan, not a magic trick. You'll need to repay the borrowed amount with interest within the specified timeframe. Don't be a loan-gobbling ghost and disappear – pay it back responsibly!
So there you have it! Now you're armed with the knowledge to tackle a loan against your FD like a financial ninja. Remember, borrow wisely, repay diligently, and most importantly, avoid calling your boss "mom" again.
