Answer
False
Reason — A Recurring Deposit Account does NOT permit withdrawals before maturity. Under this scheme, the account holder is required to deposit a specific amount every month and gets back the entire amount together with interest only on the maturity date. The number of instalments may vary from 12 to 72.
