Choose your deposit tenure. It can range from a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 10 years, with options in multiples of three months or incomplete quarters.
Decide how you want to receive interest payouts (monthly, quarterly, or on maturity).
Submit the completed form along with the required documents and your deposit amount (cash or cheque).
The bank will verify your documents and provide you with an account opening confirmation.
CSB Bank Net Banking (for existing customers only):CSB Bank's website doesn't explicitly mention online applications for Family Welfare Accounts. However, existing CSB Bank customers can sometimes open Fixed Deposits through Net Banking.
Check the CSB Bank website https://www.csb.co.in/atm for their Net Banking login and see if there's an option for "Fixed Deposits" or a similar section.
If an online FD option exists, look for "Family Welfare Account" or a similar term during the application process.
If you don't see a Family Welfare Account option online or are unsure, it's best to visit a branch directly.
