Depositors who wish to have a fixed monthly income can opt for a monthly fixed deposit scheme while booking FD. This monthly fixed deposit plan is especially popular among retired individuals or those having large surpluses from other sources or inheritance but does not have adequate income sources. In such cases, surpluses can be deposited in FDs with a monthly pay-out option and regular monthly income can then be derived from it.
