How to Calculate Compound Interest on UCO Bank Recurring Deposit?

Interest on the balance amount in a UCO Bank RD account is compounded quarterly. For instance, if an individual makes his/her first deposit on 1st April, interest will be thus compounded on 1st July, 1st October, 1st January and 1st April throughout the maturity period. Therefore, the interest rate is divided by 4 [four quarters] when calculating the maturity value.

The UCO RD calculator works on the RD formula that is used industry-wide for calculation of the interest amount and maturity value for recurring deposits. The formula is presented below:

M = R x {(1 + n) x n – 1} / 1- (1 + i) (-1/3)

In this formula, M represents the maturity value, n denotes the number of quarters (maturity period), R stands for the deposit amount, and i represents the rate of interest divided by (4×100).

Example of RD calculation:

Ravi Gaitonde, a local Mumbai merchant aged 62 years, opens a recurring deposit account with UCO. He decides to deposit Rs.2000 per month for 5 years, attracting a rate of interest of 6.2%. 

When replaced by the formula, R = Rs.2000, n = 20 quarters, and i = 0.0155 [0.062 / 4]

Therefore, M = Rs. [2000 x {(1 + 20) x 20 – 1} / 1 – (1 + 0.0155) (-1/3)

Or, M = Rs.140,865.43

Ergo, Ravi Gaitonde will receive Rs.140865 on maturity upon depositing Rs.2000 per month for 60 months in a UCO Bank RD account.

However, when calculating the maturity value manually, it can be susceptible to miscalculation. Therefore, one can choose to use the UCO Bank Recurring Deposit calculator.

Which Factors influence Interest Earnings from UCO Bank Recurring Deposit?

The variables that affect the interest rates of UCO Bank recurring deposits are –

  • Reverse repo rate

The reverse repo rate is an instrument at the disposal of the Reserve Bank of India. The apex bank borrows overnight loans from commercial banks, like UCO Bank, at the reverse repo rate. This rate affects the liquidity of a bank. If the reverse repo rate is high, banks will receive more as interest from the RBI for their advances. Therefore, a higher reverse repo rate increases the interest rate on term deposits like RD.

  • Maturity period

The maturity period that is chosen by a depositor for their UCO Bank RD also influences its interest rate. As listed in the table above, the interest rate first increases, then primes at 5.75% when the maturity period is 1 year and then decreases when the maturity period exceeds 3 years.

  • Age of the depositor

Senior citizens, i.e. depositors above the age of 60 years, are liable to earn an additional 0.25% – 0.5% interest rate on their deposits, if below Rs.2 Crore.

What are the Advantages of using the UCO Bank RD Interest Rates Calculator?

The benefits of using the UCO Bank RD calculator are –

  • It is simple to use.
  • Depositors can compare different variables before making a decision.
  • It displays accurate results and leaves no room for errors.

Therefore, individuals can use the UCO Bank RD calculator to maximise their benefits from depositing in the UCO Bank RD scheme.
