Fixed Deposits
Fixed Deposits manages lump-sum, fixed-tenure investments where a member locks an amount for an agreed term at a contracted interest rate. Each mfi.fixed.deposit record tracks principal, rate, start and maturity dates, accrued interest and the maturity instruction (payout or roll-over).

Workflow
- Open Savings > Operations > Term Deposits > Fixed Deposits.
- Create a new FD, selecting the member, principal, term and interest rate.
- Confirm the maturity date and the maturity instruction (payout or renew).
- Activate the deposit to lock the principal and begin interest accrual.
- On maturity, process payout to the linked savings account or roll over the FD.
- Use the calendar view to track upcoming maturities.
