Understanding Recurring Deposits
What is Recurring Deposit?
Recurring Deposit (RD) is a term deposit offered by banks which allows customers to deposit a fixed amount every month and earn interest at the same rate as applicable for Fixed Deposits.
Benefits of RD
- Disciplined saving with regular deposits
- Higher interest rates than savings accounts
- Flexible tenure options (1-10 years)
- Loan facility against RD
- Suitable for small investors
How RD Interest is Calculated
RD interest is calculated using compound interest formula on the monthly deposits. Each deposit earns interest for the remaining tenure period.
Important Considerations
- Interest earned is taxable as per income tax slab
- Penalty for missing monthly deposits
- Premature withdrawal may attract penalty
- Consider inflation impact on real returns
- Auto-debit facility available for convenience
