What is Money Multiplier facility?

A Money Multiplier Account allows you to set a minimum balance (subject to a minimum of Rs 10,000) to be maintained in your Savings Account. You can put in a request for the transfer of the excess of the minimum Savings Bank Account balance to Fixed Deposits in units of Rs 5,000 and for a period of one year or more, as specified by you. So you enjoy a higher effective rate of interest on your deposit.

When you need the money, you can withdraw it by issuing a cheque or through an ATM. The deposit gets broken in multiples of Rs. 5,000 automatically. Thus, you don't lose out on liquidity either!
