There are two sections 80TTA AND 80TTB..
My question is regarding 80TTA which is mentioned in the subject as well.

Any income by way of interest on deposits (not being time deposits) in a savings account deduction u/s 80TTA allowed 

here Time Deposit Means the deposits repayable on expiry of fixed periods

Therefore in Your case RD is a deposit which is repayable after expiry of period so that you are not eligible for deduction u/s 80TTA 

Age of the assesse is important.
No , it is not deductible u/s 80TTA
It is not deducted u/s 80TTA however if an asessee is a senior citizen then it is deductible u/s 80TTB
Thanks a lot.
