HDFC Dream Deposit is A flexible way to multiply your savings with small investments. Bank deposits serve different purposes for different people. Some people cannot save regularly; they deposit money in the bank only when they have extra income. The purpose of deposit then is to keep money safe for future needs. Some may want to deposit money in a bank for as long as possible to earn interest or to accumulate savings with interest so as to buy a flat, or to meet hospital expenses in old age, etc. Some, mostly businessmen, deposit all their income from sales in a bank account and pay all business expenses out of the deposits.
