In Nature of Deposit it asks for 3 options
A. Monthly Interst Payout
B. Quaterly Interst Payout
C. Rinvestment of Interst

Which option should I choose?

In maturity Instructions it is asking

    Dear Zoheb and Ashal
    Thank u very much for ur advise…Roughly How much total can I expect after 2 years…
    And what is ur take on Reoccuring deposit…If one also does these deposit…then how should one go about it to have good returns..
    Thanks…Pls reply

    1. Dear Samad, please check your banks’ site for the Interest rate it’s offering for the period & you can calculate the maturity amount also from that. In case of RD, it’s meant for systematic investing to create a corpus at the end of your defined term.

      Thanks

      Ashal

  3. Dear samad, please opt for interest reinvestment & no renewal at maturity if you want money at the end of 2Y term. If you want to continue even after 2Y term, please opt for auto renewal of full amount (principal + interest)

    Thanks

    Ashal

    if you want to forget this money for two years then better go for Rinvestment of Interst and if you want this money exactly after two years go for Do not renew else they will again open new fd of rs 2 lacs + interest you gained in two years hope this has answered your query
