Specific amounts of money may be transferred into an account - called the Recurring Deposit (RD) account every month to earn a good rate of return. Recurring deposit accounts allow individuals to periodically deposit their monthly savings into an account that can earn them up to 6% interest per annum and offer them a tidy lump sum amount at the maturity.
Recurring deposits are similar to fixed deposits that they give a fixed rate of interest for a fixed tenure. The difference between the two accounts is that while in a fixed deposit you have to deposit a lump sum right at the start with no interim deposits; in a recurring deposit you can deposit the amount over a period from 7 days to several months or even years.
