  • Is the flexible recurring deposit scheme available for NRE deposits?

  • Is it possible to terminate an RD prematurely?

    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. 

  • Can I deposit a different amount each month in an RD account?

    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.  

  • Does BOB allow partial withdrawal from RD accounts?

    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. 

  • How is the penalty for late payments calculated?

    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. 

  • What happens when the RD account matures?

    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. 

  • Who is eligible to apply for an RD account?

    Indian residents and Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) are eligible to open an RD account with the Bank of Baroda. Additionally, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can also open a Bank of Baroda RD account through their Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) and Non-Resident External (NRE) accounts. This broad eligibility ensures that a wide range of individuals can benefit from the disciplined saving mechanism offered by RD accounts.
