The maximum deposit amount for an RD is unlimited. When you open an RD account, you must provide instructions for the disposition of maturity profits. Loans or overdrafts of up to 90% of the deposited amount are available. The rate of interest on RDs is the same as that on term deposits. The rate applicable to all Senior Citizens aged 60 and up will be 0.50% higher than the rate applicable to general consumers.
