The interest rates on FD are subject to the RBI repo rate. If the RBI hikes the repo rate, the FD returns might go up, and if the RBI lowers the repo rate, the FD returns can go down, as the bank/NBFC decides. Hence, investors are recommended by many analysts that they can deposit the money for a short term. In the long run, if the repo rate by RBI changes, it will impact the FD returns. Additionally, the high inflation rate should also be kept in mind. It should be compared with the FD interest rate to analyze if it can beat inflation or not, for the particular deposit duration.
