Introduction:
Money and banking are an integral part of everyday life. Banks provide a variety of financial
products to assist you in managing your money on a daily basis. The bank is one of those
places where we may put money and have it remain safe while also earning interest over
time. This is referred to as a deposit, and each deposit is given a unique identification by the
bank, which is referred to as an account. Each deposit is associated with a distinct account,
and vice versa. We utilise numbers to uniquely identify accounts on purpose. It’s called the
account number. It could also be a string of alphanumeric characters. For different people,
bank deposits serve different objectives.
On the basis of purpose they serve, bank deposit accounts may be classified as follows:
Savings Bank Account
Current Deposit Account
Fixed Deposit Account
Recurring Deposit Account
Savings account- A minimum initial deposit, that varies by bank, is required to start this sort
of account. Money can be transferred into this account at any time. Withdrawals can be done
by filling out a withdrawal form, writing a check, or using an ATM card. The number of
withdrawals from this account is generally restricted by the bank.
Current deposit account- Savings bank accounts are not ideal for them because they have
limits on the number of withdrawals they can make. The bank does not pay interest on the
balance of this deposit. Rather, the account holder pays an annual operational charge of a
certain amount. These accounts also contain a feature known as an overdraft. Banks also
allow accountholders to withdraw funds in excess of their deposit balance for their
convenience.
Fixed Deposit Account- This sort of deposit account allows you to make a one-time deposit
for a fixed period of time. This deposit period can last anything from 15 days to three years or
longer, during which no withdrawals are permitted. The depositor, on the other hand, can
request that the money be withdrawn before the maturity date. In this scenario, banks offer a
lesser rate of interest than what was originally agreed upon.
Recurring Deposit Account- A customer must agree to deposit a certain sum once a month
for a fixed period of time when opening an account. On maturity, both the principal and
interest on the deposit are due.
The account can be opened by an individual, jointly with another, or in the name of a minor
by a guardian. The rate of interest allowed on the deposits is higher than a savings bank
deposit, but lower than a fixed deposit rate for the same term.

Public sector bank- SBI
Private sector bank- HDFC
