Introduction

A Recurring Deposit (RD) is a type of a term deposit that is offered by many banks. It permits the customer to deposit a certain amount of money on a regular basis with the bank and it earns a certain amount of interest on the same. These regular monthly deposits can be made over a certain period. This period to deposit can be chosen by the customer.

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