Since my wife is working in Indian Overseas Bank, i have invested my money in that bank. I have been investing the money of Rs. 3000. I'm satisfied with the interest rate. I'm not sure about the tenure period. The received services are fine with Indian Overseas Bank.

I had recurring deposit with Indian overseas bank and the interest rate is good one for me. Simple savings account is enough to open a recurring deposit account with them, also the minimum lock in period is around fifteen days of time.

IOB is offering 10% interest rate for the recurring deposit with the minimum lock in period of four years. They take the activation charge of Rs.900. The minimum amount to start the plan is nearly Rs.1000. In case we liquid the cash in between the lock in period there is no extra charges.
For five years of tenure I got the recurring deposit and I have selected Indian Overseas bank because it is in my home town. Interest rate in IOB is 9% and this is same across all the banks. Excellent customer service and response was awesome. I am comfortable with this bank.

I have the recurring deposit account with the Indian Overseas Bank. I can manage this account by netbanking. The rate of interest is around 10% and the minimum lock in period is 10 months of time. The services are good with them and I dint faced any netbanking issues. The ATM service is very poor and they are not having several ATM's in delhi.

I have newly opened recurring deposit online in IOB. In that instruction it was clearly mentioned the installment amount will be debited automatically on 10th of every month. When i check the statement on 20th the amount was not debited hence i contacted to customer care they told to make the payment manually!! I lose the interest for 13 days because of false information..

I am holding a recurring deposit from Indian Overseas Bank. It is for 6 years and the rate of interest offered by the Bank is pretty good compared to other banks. I do stranding instructions and it gets deducted from my account automatically on every month. After the maturity period I will be getting the amount along with the interest amount.
IOB is not charing anything extra and rate of interest on Recurring Deposit is 9.5%. Response is very good while visiting branch for any assistance and also satisfied with employees. I opted IOB for RD is for saving purpose as my salary account is also with them.

Their online banking is great, as I hold an account with them already, it was very easy for me to place a request for RD Online. They did not charge me anything extra for the same.

Absolutely fantastic service from Indian bank of India. They will debit the account first in recurring deposit. Scheme we have to choose on monthly basis after the tenure period they will return the amount with interest rate . Since I have experienced with Indian bank of India I am saying . They are having proper 121 conversation services.
