A recurring deposit or RD account enables the investor to contribute a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, and generates interest income. Unlike a fixed deposit (FD) account, in which a lump-sum amount is locked in for a defined period against a fixed return, an RD account allows the investor to put in a fixed amount of funds at regular intervals; for instance, every month. RD interest rates are subject to change from time to time. Last week, private sector lender ICICI Bank revised its RD interest rates.
