Payment of Instalment
Once set, the instalment amount cannot be changed later. If more than one instalment is overdue at payment time, up to 6 instalments may be recovered from the linked account if sufficient funds are available. If more than one instalment is overdue at payment time and the payment amount is only enough to cover one instalment, it will be applied to the earliest overdue instalment. Partial payments of instalments are not allowed.
Maturity
Interest accrues and is paid only at maturity. The deposit matures at the end of the contracted tenure, regardless of outstanding instalments. The maturity amount specified in the My Passion Fund confirmation advice is contingent upon timely payment of all instalments. Delays in instalment payments will alter the final maturity amount.
Overdue Instalments
In case of frequent defaults (non-payments) in monthly instalments and accumulation of six instalments in arrears, the Bank reserves the right to close the RD/My Passion Fund account. The interest rate applicable to closure will follow the Bank's current premature withdrawal policy.
