Recurring deposit

A recurring deposit is a special kind of term deposit in India that is offered by Indian banks and India Post, which helps people with regular incomes to deposit a fixed amount every month into their recurring deposit account and earn interest at the rate applicable to fixed deposits.

It's similar to making fixed deposits of a certain amount in monthly installments. This deposit matures on a specific date in the future, along with all the deposits made every month. Recurring deposit schemes allow customers to build up their savings through regular monthly deposits of a fixed sum over a fixed time. The minimum period of a recurring deposit is six months, and the maximum is ten years.
