FAQs:

Q: What is the monthly income scheme of Canara Bank?

A: Canara Bank does not offer any fixed deposit variant branded as ‘Canara Bank Monthly Income Scheme’ or Canara Bank MIS Scheme. However, individuals who wish to receive monthly interest from their fixed deposits can opt for the “monthly interest pay-out option”. As the interest rates of Canara Bank are compounded quarterly, the monthly interest is paid at discounted rates. The principal amount is repaid to the depositor on the maturity of the FD.
