Recurring deposit is a special kind of term deposit offered by most banks in India. The arrangement under this deposit account requires the account holder to invest a fixed amount every month into their recurring deposit account. The investment made will earn interest at a rate applicable to fixed deposits. The recurring deposit account can be initiated with a minimum contribution of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000. The tenure can be 6 months to 10 years. It is suitable for investors who intend to commit on investing over the short or medium or long term. The short tenure of 6 months especially works well for individuals who do not have a predictable source and quantum of income. An investor opening the recurring deposit account must determine the monthly contribution and tenure. Based on these two aspects the interest rates are determined. The interest rates for the recurring deposit account is like that of fixed deposits. The maturity value is indicated to the customer assuming that the monthly installments will be paid regularly on due dates. If the installment is delayed or missed, a penalty is levied in the form of reduced interest rate. The maturity value which is eventually paid out will be will be lower than the indicated value. The rate of penalty will be indicated upfront. Interest is compounded on a quarterly basis in recurring deposits. Account holder can avail loans against the collateral of recurring deposit up to 90% of the deposit value.
