2. Click "Add Fixed Deposit" button
3. Enter the deposit details including bank name, amount, interest rate, and maturity date
4. Select the appropriate deposit type and tenure

**Important:** All fixed deposits are automatically marked as real assets in the client's portfolio.

### How to Edit an Existing Fixed Deposit

Update fixed deposit information when details change or corrections are needed.

1. Locate the fixed deposit in the client's portfolio view
2. Click the "Edit" option next to the specific deposit
3. Modify the required fields (amount, interest rate, maturity date, etc.)
4. Ensure all mandatory information remains complete
5. Click "Update" to save changes
6. The system displays a confirmation message upon successful update
7. Updated information is immediately reflected in portfolio reports

7. Use the displayed information for client discussions and portfolio reviews

### How to Delete a Fixed Deposit

2. Click the "Delete" option associated with the deposit
3. Confirm the deletion when prompted by the system

### How to Access Fixed Deposit Setup Data

## Rules and Limits

• Fixed deposits are automatically classified as real assets in client portfolios
• Client-advisor relationship must be verified before viewing or modifying deposits
• Date range filtering accepts start and end dates with zero defaults for no filtering
• Reminder types can be set to zero for no reminder filtering
• All fixed deposit operations require valid client and advisor identification
• Successful additions generate unique system IDs greater than zero
• Global reference data must be available for proper deposit setup
• Version validation ensures proper security token handling for all operations

## Common Questions

**Q: Can I view fixed deposits for all my clients at once?**
A: Yes, leave the client selection blank when viewing deposits to see all clients under your management, or specify individual client IDs for focused views.

**Q: What happens if I delete a fixed deposit by mistake?**
A: Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone through the system. You would need to re-add the deposit with all original details if it was deleted in error.

**Q: Can I set up reminders for upcoming fixed deposit maturities?**
A: Yes, the system includes reminder functionality that allows you to filter and view deposits based on maturity approaching dates.

**Q: Do I need special permissions to add fixed deposits to client portfolios?**
A: You need standard advisor permissions and an established client-advisor relationship. The system validates this relationship before allowing any deposit operations.

**Q: Can I modify a fixed deposit after it has matured?**
A: Yes, you can edit fixed deposit details at any time, but ensure the information accurately reflects the actual investment status and terms.

## Troubleshooting

**Problem:** "Fixed deposit not added" message appears when trying to save
**Cause:** Required information is missing or invalid, or system validation failed
**Fix:** Check all mandatory fields are completed correctly and retry the save operation

**Problem:** Cannot view fixed deposits for a specific client
**Cause:** Client-advisor relationship not properly established or permission issue
**Fix:** Verify the client is properly assigned to your advisor account and you have appropriate access permissions

**Problem:** "Fixed deposit not found" appears when trying to access deposits
**Cause:** No fixed deposits exist for the specified criteria or client
**Fix:** Verify the client has fixed deposits entered in the system or adjust your search filters

**Problem:** Global data not loading for fixed deposit setup
**Cause:** Reference data service temporarily unavailable or configuration issue
**Fix:** Wait a few moments and retry accessing the global data, or proceed with manual entry if urgent

**Problem:** "Fixed deposit not deleted" error when trying to remove an entry
**Cause:** The deposit may be referenced in reports or have dependencies preventing deletion
**Fix:** Check if the deposit is used in any active reports or calculations before attempting deletion again
