Introduction

A Recurring Deposit (RD) is a kind of a term deposit that is given by many banks to their customers. It gives a customer the opportunity to deposit a certain amount of money at periodic intervals with the bank, and this amount earns an interest for the duration being deposited. These regular monthly deposits can be made over a certain duration of time. This duration to deposit can be chosen by the individual who wishes to deposit.

The major difference between a Fixed Deposit and a Recurring Deposit is that an RD account allows the customer to make regular investments in the deposit that goes on for the entire tenure, whereas a fixed deposit, allows one to deposit the entire lump amount at the time they open the Fixed Deposit account.
