RECURRING DEPOSIT PLAN (RD)

Recurring Deposit is a special kind of Term Deposit offered by MAHA-KISAN NIDHI LIMITED 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. It is similar to making FDs of a certain amount in monthly installments, for example Rs 1000 every month. This deposit matures on a specific date in the future along with all the deposits made every month. Thus, Recurring Deposit schemes allow customers with an opportunity to build up their savings through regular monthly deposits of fixed sum over a fixed period of time.
When the RD account is opened, the maturity value is indicated to the customer assuming that the monthly installments will be paid regularly on due dates. If any installment is delayed, the interest payable in the account will be reduced and will not be sufficient to reach the maturity value. Therefore, the difference in interest will be deducted from the maturity value as a penalty. The rate of penalty will be fixed upfront. Interest is compounded on quarterly basis in recurring deposits.
One can avail loans against the collateral of Recurring deposit up to 80 to 90% of the deposit value.
