A Recurring Deposit (RD) is a safe and convenient way of regulated savings for the fixed income group. It allows the account holder to deposit a fixed amount on a regular basis with the bank and earn an interest on it.
The interest earned is same as that of a fixed deposit without the need for a lumpsum deposit. This gives an advantage for recurring deposit account holders who want to invest a fixed amount of money on a monthly basis. Recurring deposits are a preferable way of saving for some planned expense in the near future.
