Different Types of ICICI Bank RD Schemes

• Recurring Deposits:

This is the general variant of an RD account where you deposit a fixed amount every month over the specified deposit tenure and earn interest on the deposits. The minimum monthly deposit for this account is Rs.500.

• Delightful Deposits:

Delightful deposits are recurring deposits that the bank has associated with partners such as Croma, MakeMyTrip, Tanishq, Thomas Cook, and more. This scheme gives you more than interest, i.e. top-up amount from the partner.

• iWish Flexible Recurring Deposits:

The scheme helps you to fulfil your wish without any market risks associated. Whether you are looking forward to buying a car, going on a dream holiday, or anything else. Just start an iWish goal online and add funds regularly. There are no limits associated with it in terms of the amount, i.e. there is no fixed amount for contributions. If you happen to save a little more during the month, you can contribute it to the iWish account and reach your goal a little sooner.

• RD with Monthly Income Option:

This is a term deposit with the features of an RD account during the investment phase, and annuity fixed deposit during the payout phase. Initially, you make regular payments of your RD to build a corpus. On maturity, the accumulated funds will be invested in an annuity FD account.

Further, a payout will be given to you every month along with interest. The minimum monthly deposit amount is Rs.2,000 and in multiples of Rs.100 thereafter. The minimum RD tenure is 24 months and in multiples of three months thereafter. Likewise, the minimum payout phase is 24 months and in multiples of 12 months thereafter.
