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 | In such deposits, the amount of the deposit can be withdrawn only after the period of time agreed upon by the bank and the depositor.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. |
