Recurring Deposit

• Open a recurring deposit account with Bank of Baroda and create a habit of saving regularly. The monthly instalments on RD accounts especially, encourage new investors to set aside money throughout the year.
• The key benefit of recurring deposit accounts is that you receive better returns on your investment compared to other financial instruments. This is because recurring deposit schemes have higher rates of interest as compared to savings accounts.
• You can choose from a variety of recurring deposit accounts to suit your financial outlook and investment goals, since we offer recurring deposit schemes with varying principal amounts, monthly installments and time periods. The tenure on our RD accounts can range from 6 months to 120 months. There is no upper limit on the amount of money you can invest in recurring deposit schemes.
• Additionally, Bank of Baroda offers loan and overdraft facility up to 90% of the recurring deposit amount, which can help you in times of an urgent financial need.

• All individuals are eligible to open recurring deposit accounts at Bank of Baroda. The minimum monthly deposit on RD accounts is SCR 500 and multiples of SCR 100. There is no upper limit on the monthly deposits in RD accounts.
• The tenure or time period of recurring deposit accounts range from 12 months to 120 months, which is determined at the time of opening the RD account. However, you can opt for premature withdrawal on your recurring deposit account, in case you need funds urgently. No interest will be paid on premature withdrawl of the deposit.
• We offer attractive interest rates on recurring deposits, which are determined on the basis of the maturity period or tenure of the deposit. The interest on recurring deposit accounts is compounded quarterly and paid on maturity of the recurring deposit.
