DCB Bank Recurring Deposit Rate

Introduction

A Recurring Deposit (RD) helps you put away money on a regular basis your bank, and earn interest income on it. It is similar to a Fixed Deposit (FD) where you enjoy a higher rate of interest than a savings account for the same principal amount.

The main difference between an FD and an RD is that a recurring deposit allows you to make ongoing periodic investments in the deposit, whereas in a fixed deposit, you need to deposit the entire lump amount at the time you open the FD account.

Investing in an RD account is a safe and secure way to save money for your short-term or long-term goals. Imagine stashing away some money to put in your piggy bank on a monthly basis. A recurring deposit works exactly like that except that it earns interest for the amount deposited in the account.

• An RD account can be opened with small minimum amount.
• Lump sum received at maturity, similar to an FD
• The rate of interest is higher as compared to an ordinary saving bank account
• Interest Rate earned is generally equal to that of an FD
• Flexible tenures to suit the budget of the individual
• Recurring Deposit Interest rate is fixed so you are assured of a fixed return

• Safe and secure.

Disadvantages

• The interest earned might be lower than other, riskier, forms of investment, say investing in stock market etc. But the money is safe from market fluctuations.
• Penalty charges may apply if you wish to withdraw your RD prematurely.
