Yes, you can invest more than Rs.1.5 lakh in normal 5 - year fixed deposits. The maximum limit of Rs.1.5 lakh is only for tax-saver FDs which also have a 5 - year tenure which is also a lock-in period.
Yes, you can break a regular 5 - year fixed deposit before maturity. However, you will have to pay a penalty for such premature withdrawals.
No, banks offer a separate type of FD called tax-saver FDs which have benefits of tax exemption under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. However, these tax-saver FDs also come with a lock-in period and a maximum tenure of 5 years, which means there is no facility for premature withdrawal. However, if you book a normal fixed deposit for up to 5 years, and not under the tax-saver FD scheme, premature withdrawal is allowed subject to a penalty which varies from bank to bank.
While this depends on the bank, most do offer nomination facility for all 5 - year tenure fixed deposit accounts.
Regular and tax-saving fixed deposits are two separate types of investments. The deposit amount in a regular FD is subject to tax. Also, in a financial year, the interest received on fixed deposits is tax-free only up to Rs.40,000 for the general public and Rs.50,000 for senior citizens.
