The LIC HFL Sanchay Public Deposit Scheme is a premier fixed deposit product from LIC Housing Finance Limited, one of India's largest housing finance firms founded in 1989. With a CRISIL AAA/Stable rating, it signifies the highest degree of safety regarding timely repayment of principal and interest. This makes it an ideal choice for risk-averse investors, senior citizens, and families seeking guaranteed returns with top security.
The scheme is open to a wide range of depositors, including: Resident Individuals, NRIs (up to 3 years from NRO accounts), Minors (with a guardian), Hindu Undivided Families (HUF), Partnership Firms, Companies, Trusts, and Co-operative Societies.
| Tenure | Cumulative (% p.a.) | Non-Cumulative Yearly (% p.a.) | Non-Cumulative Monthly (% p.a.) |

| 1 Year | 6.70% | 6.70% | 6.50% |
| 18 Months | 6.75% | 6.75% | 6.55% |
| 2 Years | 6.80% | 6.80% | 6.60% |
| 3 Years | 6.85% | 6.85% | 6.65% |

Note: Senior citizens (60+ years) receive an additional 0.25% p.a. on all rates for deposits up to ₹20 Crore.
Premature withdrawal is at the sole discretion of LIC HFL. The following rules apply:
Interest earned is fully taxable. An investment for a 5-year tenure qualifies for tax deduction up to ₹1,50,000 under Section 80C.
TDS is deducted if annual interest income exceeds ₹40,000 (or ₹50,000 for senior citizens). To avoid TDS, submit Form 15G/15H.
Failure to provide PAN results in a TDS rate of 20% instead of 10%, potential denial of TDS credit, and voids Form 15G/H.
