Does one have to pay zakat over money deposited in Fixed Deposit account in a bank for a year or more. The deposit is for security reasons as as one fears about cyber thefts. Of course, the interest earned is not utilized for self and is given to poor and needy.

You must pay your zakat after completion of the lunar year. Whatever possession you have at the end of the lunar year, you pay your zakat on it if it reaches the nisab regardless of when you got your salary.
