The Recurring deposit scheme offered by the Bank of India (BOI) is a special type of deposit account which allows a depositor, particularly in the fixed Income group to save monthly by paying into the account over a stipulated period. In this deposit, the longer one invests, the higher is the rate of interest subject to rules.
A recurring deposit is an investment cum savings option for those who want to save regularly over a certain period of time and earn a higher interest rate. It is a type of term deposit which allows one to save a fixed amount of money every month systematically. If you are familiar with SIP in Mutual Funds, RD works similarly in banking. Every month, a fixed amount of money is deducted either from a savings or a current account. And, at the end of the maturity, investors are paid back their invested money with accrued interest.
A user willing to open an RD account with Bank of India can choose any amount and term according to your convenience.
