Predestination is called 'Vidhi' or 'Vidhi niyama'. Though the future is believed to be dependent on karma, Vidhi has it predestined as to what karma the being does. Thus the decision a being makes to do good or bad is predestined. It is said that even God cannot alter the flow of Vidhi.
Hinduism

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Our hour is marked, and no one can claim a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined.

And as for fate, I'm sure no man escapes it,
Neither a good nor bad man, once he's born.
