What is a Monthly Interest Credit?

A monthly interest payout is a credit amount you get at the end of every month on your savings. This feature is commonly available with fixed deposits. With this feature, you get an assured interest every month after opening a savings account with IDFC FIRST Bank. The amount will depend upon your account balance and the interest rate that you are offered.

How do interest payouts on Savings Account work?

According to the RBI guidelines, the interest that banks give their customers on their savings account is calculated on a daily basis. This interest gets accumulated and is credited to your account on a quarterly or a half-yearly basis, depending on the type of account you have and your bank’s set of guidelines. It was in 2016 that RBI had made the guidelines of crediting quarterly interest on savings accounts, as opposed to the earlier rule of half-yearly credit.

The formula used to calculate this interest is:

Accumulated interest = (Daily Balance) * (Number of days) * (Interest) / (No. of days in the year)
