As mentioned earlier, Bank of Baroda offers two types of recurring deposit schemes in which you can invest your money. These are
The maturity of deposit is one month after payment of last installment or due date, whichever is later.
No, TDS will be deducted if you submit form 15G/15H as applicable.
Yes, nomination facility is available.
Yes, a regular RD account can be converted to flexible recurring deposit scheme i.e., Baroda Yatha Shakti Jama Yojana Scheme.
As of now, the product is not available for NRE deposits.
Yes, you can terminate an RD before its maturity date. However, in such cases, interest will be paid after deducting a penalty of 1% from the applicable rate or the contracted rate, whichever is lower.
In a standard RD account, you cannot vary the deposit amount each month. The fixed amount chosen at the start remains constant throughout the term. However, there is a Flexi Recurring Deposit option where monthly instalments can increase up to three times the core instalment, subject to a maximum of Rs.10,000 per month.
No, the Bank of Baroda does not permit partial withdrawals from recurring deposit accounts. Once you deposit the money into your RD account, it remains locked in until the maturity date. This policy ensures the regularity and consistency of your savings, encouraging disciplined financial habits.
Payments made within the calendar month in which they are due are considered on time, and no penalty is imposed. If the payment is delayed beyond the due calendar month, a penalty of Rs. 1 plus GST is charged for every Rs.100 per month of delay. Any part of a month is treated as a full month for calculating the penalty. For example, if your monthly instalment is Rs.1000 and if you delay the payment by 15 days into the next month, you will incur a penalty of Rs.10 plus GST.
Upon your RD account's maturity, the principal amount and accumulated interest can be transferred directly to your linked savings account. This provides you with immediate access to your matured funds. Alternatively, if you prefer to continue saving, the matured amount can be reinvested into fixed deposits, allowing your money to keep earning interest at a potentially higher rate.
