Nowadays, everyone has a bank savings account. A savings account is crucial for anything, whether it is for a transaction job or scheme investment.
 
Savings accounts also pay interest. It's a very modest interest. Typically, banks provide savings accounts with interest rates between 2.5% and 4%. However, you must visit the bank and perform a little task if you are one of those people whose pay is deposited into their savings account or if there are hundreds and millions of rupees in it at all times. You will begin to reap the benefits of FD on a savings account with this, meaning you will undoubtedly make a substantial profit.

Know what you have to Do.
You must activate the auto Sweep Facility in your savings account to receive the benefits of FD. You may double the benefit on your savings account after adding this option. In the first place, you will be able to keep using this account as a savings account and make transactions anytime you like. In the second place, you will begin to get FD interest on the account.

Know What is Auto-Sweep Facility
An automatic function is introduced to your savings account when you choose the auto-sweep option. In this case, the savings account has a set limit. If the sum exceeds that cap, it is immediately converted to a fixed deposit (FD), and you will get FD interest on that sum. Conversely, the FD funds immediately return to the savings account if the account balance is below that cap. You maintain the advantages of both a savings account and an FD on your single account in this manner.

Benefits of Auto-Sweep Facility
Although you can obtain 5–7% income on FDs, savings accounts typically yield far lower interest rates than FDs. In such a case, you may receive high returns through FD on a savings account by adding an auto sweep capability.
 
The money must be placed into the FD for a specific amount of time after you receive it. You must pay a penalty if you violate the FD in the interim. However, you are not subject to any such limitations because this FD has been placed in the savings account. Money can be taken out of your account at any moment.
