Nainital Bank Recurring Deposit (RD) Interest Rates

Among the variety of investment and deposit products offered by banks, Recurring Deposits are one of the most convenient method of maintaining regular savings.

A recurring deposit allows customers to put away a fixed amount of money each month into a dedicated account for a fixed period of time where the capital earns interest.

These are not one-time deposits and money can be put in every month or as desired by the account holder. Once the deposit tenure is over, the account holder can withdraw the money.

Recurring Deposits are the ideal form of monthly savings for salaried professionals, businessmen, professionals, housewives, and other people who wish to start savings in small sums over a fixed period of time.

The Nainital Bank currently offers a Recurring Deposit Account and Naini Platinum Plus as recurring deposit products. The Recurring Deposit Account is a regular RD account where customers can deposit money for a fixed period of time and earn interest at a fixed deposit rate.

The Naini Platinum Plus is a recurring deposit account where customers have the option of making flexible installments towards the deposit.

Customers have the choice of making a deposit which is ten times the deposit amount, at a time.
