Recurring Deposit (RD) is a kind of term deposit under which customers need to deposit a fixed amount at regular intervals, which generates interest income. On maturity, the depositor is paid a lump-sum amount. Recurring deposit interest rates, once determined, do not change during the term. Last week, private sector lender Kotak Mahindra Bank revised it fixed and recurring deposit interest rates. Institutions such as small finance banks and post office also offer the facility of recurring deposit.
Here is a comparison of recurring deposit (RD) rates offered by Kotak Mahindra Bank, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank:
