 BANKING 

1. Introduction to Banking

Banking is a system of financial services provided by banks and other financial institutions to individuals, businesses, and other organizations. The services provided by banks include savings accounts, current accounts, fixed deposit accounts, loans, credit cards, and other financial services.

2. Types of Accounts

There are various types of accounts offered by banks, including:

• Savings Account: A savings account is a type of bank account in which the depositor earns a small rate of interest on the deposited amount. The funds in a savings account are more easily accessible than in other types of accounts.
• Current Account: A current account is a type of bank account that is generally used by businesses to conduct transactions. A current account typically has higher transaction fees and no interest is paid on the deposited amount.
• Fixed Deposit Account: A fixed deposit account is a type of bank account in which the depositor can deposit a fixed amount of money for a fixed period of time. The bank pays a fixed rate of interest on the deposit amount.
• Recurring Deposit Account: A recurring deposit account is a type of bank account in which the depositor can deposit a fixed amount of money every month for a fixed period of time. The bank pays a fixed rate of interest on the deposit amount.

3. Interest Calculation

The interest on different types of accounts is calculated differently:

• For savings accounts, interest is generally calculated on a daily or monthly basis and is paid out annually or monthly.
• For current accounts, no interest is paid on the deposited amount.
• For fixed deposit accounts, interest is generally calculated at a fixed rate for the entire duration of the deposit and is paid out at maturity.
• For recurring deposit accounts, interest is generally calculated at a fixed rate for the entire duration of the deposit and is paid out at maturity

• Recurring Deposit (RD) is a type of bank account where you can save money regularly over a fixed period of time, and earn interest on it. The amount that you save every month is fixed and predetermined, and you can choose the tenure of the RD account. Here's an explanation of Recurring Deposit in detail:

  1. How does a Recurring Deposit work?

  When you open an RD account, you need to choose the amount you want to deposit every month, the tenure of the deposit, and the rate of interest offered by the bank. Every month, the predetermined amount is automatically debited from your savings account and credited to the RD account.

  At the end of the tenure, you will receive the maturity amount, which is the sum of all the deposits made over the period, plus the interest earned on it. The interest on RD is generally compounded quarterly, which means that interest is added to the principal amount every three months.

  2. Formula for calculating interest on Recurring Deposit

  The formula for calculating the interest earned on an RD account is as follows:

  M = R [(1+i)^n - 1] / (1-(1+i)^(-1/3))

  Where,

  M = Maturity value R = Monthly instalment n = Number of quarters in the tenure i = Rate of interest per quarter

  3. Example of calculating the maturity value of an RD account

  Let's say you want to save Rs. 2,000 every month for a tenure of 3 years, and the rate of interest offered by the bank is 6.5% per annum, compounded quarterly. Using the formula mentioned above, the maturity value of the RD account can be calculated as follows:

  R = Rs. 2,000 n = 12 x 3 = 36 quarters i = 6.5% per annum / 4 = 1.625% per quarter

  M = 2000 [(1+0.01625)^36 - 1] / (1-(1+0.01625)^(-1/3)) M = Rs. 79,725.70

  Therefore, the maturity value of the RD account after 3 years is Rs. 79,725.70.

  In conclusion, RD is an excellent investment option for those who want to save regularly and earn interest on it. By choosing the right tenure and interest rate, you can earn a significant amount of interest on your investment over time.
