Solution 2

Recurring Deposits Fixed Deposits
In case of such deposits, an account holder has to deposit a certain fixed amount every month for a specified period. In such deposits, the amount of the deposit can be withdrawn only after the period of time agreed upon by the bank and the depositor.
The rate of interest paid by the bank is higher than the savings account but less than the fixed deposit account. The interest rate is higher in the case of such deposits. The longer the period, the higher is the interest rate.
