On Bank fixed deposit you earn more interest rate in comparison to post office FD. Interest earned on bank FD is taxable although banks have separate tax saving FD scheme it is for at least 5 years.
Post office offer low interest rate but the interest earned is tax exempted under Section 80C.

Answer 2.
The interest rates of Post offices is calculated on quarterly basis. A minimum of Rs.200 can be deposited while there is no maximum limit.The fixed deposits with 2, 3 or 5 year term period can be closed, if need be, after one year but for a discount. Accounts can be opened as Single, Joint, Trust, regimental or Welfare fund.
Bank FD interest is calculated, monthly, quarterly, and get option to convert fixed deposit to a special deposit and get compounded rate of interest.
