The principal amount of CD cannot usually be withdrawn before the maturity date, unless the Bank consents to the withdrawal as a special case. We may require that all holders of a joint account authorize a premature withdrawal of the principal from a CD account. Partial withdrawal is not permitted. The penalty for early withdrawals of CD is as follows:
| Term of Deposit |
No. of Days for Which Interest will be Recovered |
| 14 days |
14 days |
| 1 month to less than 1 year |
30 days |
| 1 year to less than 3 years |
90 days |
| 3 years to less than 5 years |
180 days |
| 5 years & over |
270 days |
|
The penalty will be calculated at the interest rate of the deposit. The penalty will be applied irrespective of the period that the CD has remained with the Bank, and may result in a reduction of principal. A penalty will not be charged if the account holder dies or is declared legally incompetent.
