20. Subject to Clause 20 herein, for Conventional FD, partial withdrawal of FD Placement Amount is allowed in multiples of Ringgit Malaysia One Thousand (RM1,000) only. However, in the event the amount in Conventional FD is less than Ringgit Malaysia Five Thousand (RM5,000), no partial withdrawal is allowed for that particular account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CASA Placement Amount must be maintained throughout the Earmark Period.

hahahaha dua dua also kinda dummy in their own unique way.

But if I had to choose one .... Affin wins the prize ... kadang2 boelh masuk kadang2 tak boleh.... when can get in, whatever u do sure half baked... really waste time! MBSB - now we know 9K or 27K only ... no waste time. Just treat as a dinosaur bank & do OTC

I had just placed BI 12mth 4.5% fd.
Placement date today, 18/5/2023
Maturity date is 20/5/2024 as 18/5/2024 which is a Saturday.

Expected profit(int) is calculated as Placement Amount x 4.5% x 368/365

I had verified calculated profit/int amount printed on the FD cert to be exactly correct.
Extra 3 days is because of Sat & Sun and the fact 2024 is a leap year (29Feb, so another additional day)

Since, this is a OTC placement with certificate, I did asked the teller whether I can redeem this FD at another BI branch on maturity. She say can, redemption can be at another branch, need to bring along the cert.
However, she did mentioned that I can redeem on maturity ONLINE if I choose to.

TQVM for helpful info.

May I know what happens if OPR go up or down from current 3% before maturity? Will our rate be adjusted for new OPR?

TIA

Only new placement after OPR hike or reduced would take effect new rate...

Whatever placement made before stays the same... As agreed upon 🙏

Don't worry much....

It's already printed in the slip.... It's guarantee payments 🤑💰

thumbsup.gif got it!

So I went to BI just now and they said got another promo 5.9% 70:30 FD:SA deal. LOL coba nasib cabutan tuah win this & that. Effectively ~4.1x% + lottery ticket doh.gif

BUT the thing that screw up my day is EPF "promo" On the way to BI, saw EPF "roadshow" saying voluntary contributions increased to 100K wef 1/6 today mega_shok.gif rclxub.gif

As a jobless warga mas, that is very tempting news. Because iinm, **div is calculated yearly but takes into consideration the dates of contributions and withdrawals... not simply the balance at the end of the year. What that means is that we earn div penuh for everyday the money is with kwsp. And we can treat it like a supercharged savings account, masuk keluar sesuka hati vs zero int for premature FD withdrawal. Of course, warga mas only lah

haha I think they are pretty concerned about the withdrawals - that's why raise to 100K from 60K. And I think also good news for FD rates becos now kwsp competing with the banks - surely the banks will respond with higher rates.

So what do u think?

PS: **Hopefully I am not mistaken about how div is calculated cos that's a major factor to consider

Hi all, just want to re-confirm something that must have been discussed here before. It's regarding taxability of interest income from FD...

As far as I can remember, FD interest is not taxable for individuals (ie excluding folks running a business & their business funds are put into FD - for them imho their interest income are taxable)

I remember tracking down the LHDN or Income Tax Act that exempts interest earned by individuals BUT I dunno where I saved it in my HDD.

Fortunately I found an article in i-money (https://www.imoney.my/articles/income-tax-guide-malaysia/what-is-a-tax-exemption) that says the exemption has been in place since 30 Aug 2008... but it does not reference to any LHDN document

So, I wonder if anyone has a link to any LHDN document that says the exemption has been in place since 30 Aug 2008? Thnaks

PS:

1) I've also seen statements that say there is a rm100k limit for exemption... is the 100k on the principal or 100k on interest? Again, would appreciate link to an LHDN document.

2) I've decided not to start a new thread because I think better to ask a targeted / involved audience here... if y'all dunno, who else might know, right?

FD interest should be under B3

Or you can ask in related thread https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3621012/+10660 for income tax issue, maybe can get helpful answer
