Types of Accounts

1. SAVING ACCOUNT:
• These deposits accounts are one of the most popular deposits for
individual accounts. 
• These accounts not only provide cheque facility but also have  lot of
flexibility for deposits and withdrawal of funds from the account. 
• Most of the banks have rules for the maximum number of
withdrawals in a period and the maximum amount of withdrawal, but
hardly any bank enforces these.  
1. SAVING ACCOUNT
• However, banks have every right to enforce such restrictions if it is felt
that the account is being misused as a current account. 
• Till 24/10/2011, the interest on Saving Bank Accounts was regulared
by RBI and it was fixed at 4.00% on daily balance basis.  
• However, wef  25th October, 2011, RBI has deregulated Saving Fund
account interest rates and now banks are free to decide the same
within certain conditions imposed by RBI. 
2.  CURRENT ACCOUNT:

• Current Accounts are basically meant for businessmen and are never used for
the purpose of investment or savings. 
• These deposits are the most liquid deposits and there are no limits for
number of transactions or the amount of transactions in a day. 
• Most of the current account are opened in the names of firm / company
accounts.
• Cheque book facility is provided and the account holder can deposit all types
of the cheques and drafts in their name or endorsed in their favour by third
parties. 
• No interest is paid by banks  on these accounts.  On the other hand, banks
charges certain  service charges, on such accounts.   
3. RECURRING DEPOSITS ACCOUNT

• -These are popularly known as RD accounts and are special kind of


Term Deposits and are suitable for people who do not have lump sum
amount of savings, but are ready to save a small amount every
month.   
• - Normally, such deposits earn interest on the amount already
deposited (through monthly installments) at the same rates as are
applicable for Fixed Deposits / Term Deposits.   These are best if you
wish to create a fund for your child's education or marriage of your
daughter or buy a car without loans or save for the future.
3. RECURRING DEPOSITS ACCOUNT
• - Under these type of deposits, the person has to usually deposit a fixed
amount of money every month (usually a minimum of Rs,100/- p.m.).   Any
default in payment within the month attracts a small penalty.   
• - However, some Banks besides offering a fixed installment RD, have also
introduced a flexible / variable  RD. Under these flexible RDs the person is
allowed to deposit even higher amount of installments, with an upper limit
fixed for the same e.g. 10 times of the minimum amount agreed upon.
• - Recurring Deposit accounts are normally allowed for maturities ranging
from 6 months  to 120 months. A  Pass book is usually  issued  wherein  the
person can get the entries for all the deposits made by him / her and the
interest earned.  
3. RECURRING DEPOSITS ACCOUNT
• In case instalment is delayed, the interest payable in the account will
be reduced and some nominal penalty charged for default in regular
payments. Premature withdrawal of accumulated amount permitted
is usually allowed (however, penalty may be imposed for early
withdrawals). These accounts can be opened in single or joint names.
Nomination facility is also available.
• The RD interest rates paid by banks in India are  usually the same as
payable on Fixed Deposits, except when specific rates on FDs are paid
for particular number of days e.g. 500 days, 555 days, 1111 days etc
i.e. these are not ending in a quarter. 
4. FIXED DEPOSITS ACCOUNT:
• All Banks in India (including SBI, PNB, BoB, BoI, Canara Bank, ICICI
Bank, Yes Bank etc.)  offer fixed deposits schemes with a wide range
of tenures for periods from 7 days to 10 years. These are also
popularly known as FD accounts. However, in some other countries
these are known as "Term Deposits" or even called "Bond".   The term
"fixed" in Fixed Deposits (FD) denotes the period of maturity or tenor.
Therefore, the depositors  are supposed to continue such Fixed
Deposits for the  length of time for which the depositor decides to
keep the money with the bank. 
• - However, in case of need, the depositor can ask for closing (or
breaking) the fixed deposit prematurely by paying paying a penalty
(usually of 1%, but some banks either charge less or no penalty).  
4. FIXED DEPOSITS ACCOUNT:

• - Some banks introduced variable interest fixed deposits.  The rate of


interest on such deposits  keeps on varying with the prevalent market rates
i.e. it will go up if market interest rates goes and it will come down if the
market rates fall.  However, such type of fixed deposits have not been
popular till date.
• -The rate of interest for Fixed Deposits differs  from bank to bank (unlike
earlier when the same were regulated by RBI and all banks used to have the
same interest rate structure.  
• -Usually a bank FD is paid in lump sum on the date of maturity. 
• Besides above four traditional accounts, there  are some other accounts
with same features but a few different features.
5.NO FRILL ACCOUNT:

• - In simple words it: If a company makes its service/product cheaper by


removing the extra features, that is no frill. Eg. Mobile phone postpaid
package without unlimited ringtones or free night talk. Dish TV package
without 100 sports channels.
• - For our discussion purpose:  No frill account is a type of bank account,
with low / Zero balance requirement with extra-features removed.
• - RBI came up with this No-frill concept, because poor people cannot open
regular bank accounting having requirements like Rs.5000/- minimum
balance etc.So there are no frill accounts for them. So that poor people
can open bank accounts and take loans, that’ll save them from the 36%
interest rate charged by the evil money lenders.
6. Joint Accounts
• A joint account is an account that belongs to more than one person.
Joint accounts are often set up by couples that are living together or
people who have finances that are closely linked. Both current and
savings accounts can be opened jointly.
• - Joint accounts can be set up so each individual account holder can
use the account or so that all account holders have to authorise
transactions.
• - With a joint account, you are liable for any debts run up by other
account holders.
STUDENT ACCOUNT:

• Most banks provide accounts specifically for students in higher


education. These are current accounts that have been designed with
student finance in mind. They usually offer interest-free overdrafts up
to a certain limit to help students cope with the debts that often
accumulate while studying
BUSINESS ACCOUNT:

• Most people who run businesses have a business account so their


business and personal money are kept separate. They are more or less
same as Current Accounts.
ESCROW ACCOUNT

• - An escrow account is a temporary pass through account held by a


third party during the process of a transaction between two parties.
• - This is a temporary account as it operates until the completion of a
transaction process, which is implemented after all the conditions
between the buyer and the seller are settled. 
• - Escrow Accounts are legally permitted in India and for that you
should be either an Advocate or a C.A. or a person of a high repute or
a banker or a person on both the parties to the dispute or the
transactions are ready to keep the money in Escrow with that person.
For this, no certificate from any person, authority or RBI is required.
Types of Deposit Accounts : -

• While various deposit products offered by the Bank are assigned


different names. The deposit products can be categorised broadly
into the following types. Definition of major deposits schemes are
as under : -

•i) "Demand deposits" means a deposit received by the Bank which


is withdrawable on demand;
