Why Tracking FDs Matters
Over ₹78,000 crore in FDs remain unclaimed in India. Many investors hold FDs across 2–3 banks and lose track of maturity dates. A systematic tracking approach prevents auto-renewals at lower rates and helps you make better reinvestment decisions.
Method 1: Spreadsheets
The traditional approach — maintain an Excel or Google Sheet with columns for bank, amount, rate, start date, and maturity date. Pros: Full control. Cons: No automatic calculations, easy to forget updating, no maturity alerts.
Method 2: Bank Apps
Each bank's mobile app shows your FDs. Pros: Always accurate. Cons: You need to check each bank separately — no consolidated view across banks.
Method 3: Dedicated Tracker App
Apps like RupeeTracker let you add FDs from any bank into one dashboard. You get automatic maturity calculations, a calendar view of upcoming maturities, and your FDs alongside other investments like stocks and mutual funds.
This is the most efficient approach for anyone with FDs in multiple banks.
What to Track for Each FD
- Bank name and branch
- Principal amount

- Start date and maturity date
- Compounding frequency (usually quarterly in India)
- Auto-renewal preference
