Recurring Deposit Interest Rates: SBI Vs HDFC Bank VS ICICI Bank
Recurring Deposit or RD is a kind of term deposit under which one needs to deposit a fixed amount at fixed interval, which generates interest income. Recurring deposit interest rates, once determined, do not change during the tenure. On maturity, the depositor is paid a lump-sum amount which includes his/her periodic investments and the interest income earned on them. Recently, big banks such as State Bank of India, HDFC Bank have revised their interest rates on both recurring deposits and fixed deposits. The revision in interest rates have come after the Reserve Bank of India hiked the repo rate to 6.5 per cent.
