How is Interest Rate calculated on BOB Recurring Deposit?

The compound interest on a Recurring Deposit amount is only added after the first quarter. Talking about quarters, Financial Quarters in a year are as follows –

• April to June – Quarter 1
• July to September – Quarter 2
• October to December – Quarter 3
• January to March – Quarter 4

After every quarter, the Compounding occurs; hence until then, a simple interest calculation will be applicable. The compound interest formula used for calculating RD maturity amount is:

M = R x {(1 + n) x n – 1} / 1- (1 + i) (-1/3)

where,

• M stands for Maturity value
• R stands for Monthly Installment
• i stands for rate of interest divided by 4
• n stands for the tenure (in quarters)

With the help of the above formula, in case a depositor invests Rs.6000 in the month of January and the tenure is 2 years; then by using the simple and compound interest formula provided, he/she will have around Rs. 154,900 as the maturity amount at the end of the year if we consider the rate of interest at 7%.

Factors Affecting RD Earnings

While deciding the rate of interest for the depositor, certain factors are taken into consideration, based on which the interest rates are evaluated. Some key factors are listed below:

Tenure

Tenure is the duration for which you invest the money in a recurring deposit. The interest rate depends on various factors and tenure is one of the most important ones. Your RD interest rate varies across all the tenure options.

Applicant’s Age

Banks and other NBFCs provide a higher rate of interest to senior citizens. The rates may range from 0.50% to 0.75% additional interest over the regular deposit rates for general citizens. However, the minimum age criteria for senior citizens may vary as per the provider.

Repo rate

The repo rate cut depends on a lower inflation rate as well as slow development in the economy. On the off chance that there is a cut in repo rate by the RBI, banks are probably going to decrease the loan fee on a wide range of deposits including RDs.

Reverse Repo rate

RBI’s reverse repo rate is directly linked with the interest rate on BOB RDs. It is defined as the rate at which the central bank of a country (RBI in case of India) avails overnight loans from commercial banks. Therefore, a high reverse repo rate would imply a high-interest rate on RD and vice versa.
