It’s one of the easiest and fastest loan options available in 2026 — minimal paperwork, quick approval, and lower interest rates compared to personal loans.

Let’s understand everything in simple terms.

What is an SBI Loan Against FD?

SBI allows customers to take a loan or overdraft facility against their Fixed Deposit. Instead of prematurely closing your FD, the bank gives you a loan by keeping the FD as security.

SBI Loan Against FD Interest Rates 2026

In 2026, SBI generally charges:

• Interest Rate = FD Interest Rate + 1% to 2%

Example:

• If your FD earns 7.00% per annum
• Loan interest may be around 8.00%–9.00% per annum

This makes it much cheaper than personal loans, which typically range from 10%–14%.

Interest is usually calculated on the amount used (in the case of an overdraft).

How Much Loan Can You Get?

SBI typically offers:

• Up to 90% of the FD value for regular FDs
• Slightly lower margin for tax-saving FDs

Example:

If your FD amount is ₹2,00,000:

• Maximum loan available ≈ ₹1,80,000

The exact limit may depend on the FD type and tenure.
