These are cumulative small finance bank FDs. This means that the interest you earn is regularly reinvested on the initial deposit. For example, if you have bought a two-year FD, the interest earned every quarter will be added to the initial deposit amount. In the next quarter, interest is calculated on the increased initial deposit (initial deposit + interest from previous quarters). Thus, the amount on which the interest is calculated increases every quarter.
