Individuals who want a regular income in the form of interest rate against their deposit can invest in recurring deposits. The rd interest rates vary from one bank to the other, as well as depending on considerations such as tenure, type of depositor i.e. non-senior citizens or senior citizens, deposit amount and so on. If compared to the non-senior citizens all banks offer senior citizens preferential treatment in terms of interest rates.
