The monthly interest pay-out scheme is ideal for depositors who need a fixed income monthly to meet their daily expenses. This monthly plan is especially popular among retired individuals or those individuals having large surpluses from inheritance or other sources but does not have adequate income sources. Such individuals can deposit their surpluses in FDs with a monthly pay-out option and then, derive regular monthly income from it.
In a monthly fixed deposit plan, the fixed deposit interest amount is calculated for the quarter and credited monthly to the savings or current account of a depositor at a discounted rate. The principal amount is repaid when the FD matures.
