Non-callable FD means that you cannot withdraw money before time i.e. before maturity. Can be extracted in callable.
Fixed Deposit is a saving scheme in which account holders can withdraw their money anytime. The account holder can prematurely withdraw some or the entire amount before maturity. Such FD is called callable FD in which you can withdraw money before time. However, banks charge a penalty for withdrawing the amount before maturity. However, callable FDs do not have any lock-in period.
Investors in non-callable FD cannot withdraw money before maturity. However, there are many rules in which you can withdraw money before time. You can withdraw money prematurely in case of bankruptcy, closure of business and death of the account holder. Non-callable FD gets higher interest than normal FD because the money is blocked in it.
