Best Answer

A Fixed Deposit or a Certificate of Deposit is a special type of deposit account that can be opened by any customer. The customer will deposit a large sum of money with the bank for a predetermined period of time (Usually in months or years). The bank will offer a good interest rate to the customer for parking his/her money long-term with them. The customer wouldn't break his deposit mid term and keep it until maturity because if he does so, he will be charged a penalty for doing so.

In terms of amount - you can purchase any amount you want. The only thing the bank might ask if you deposit huge sums of money is "source of income" and if you provide that, the bank will be willing to accept a deposit of any amount.
