Frequently Asked Questions
A Recurring Deposit (RD) requires you to invest a fixed amount every month, while an FD requires a lump sum investment upfront. RD is ideal for salaried individuals who want to invest from monthly income. Both offer similar interest rates with quarterly compounding.
RD interest is calculated using quarterly compounding: each monthly installment earns interest from its deposit date to maturity. The formula is M = R × [(1+i)^n – 1] / (1 – (1+i)^(-1/3)), where R is monthly deposit, i is quarterly rate, and n is number of quarters.
Most banks in India offer RD for a minimum of 6 months. The maximum tenure is typically 10 years. Post Office RD has a fixed 5-year tenure. Banks like SBI, HDFC, ICICI offer flexible tenures from 6 months to 10 years.
Yes. RD interest is fully taxable as "Income from Other Sources" at your applicable slab rate. TDS is deducted at 10% if total interest across all RDs in a bank exceeds ₹40,000 per year (₹50,000 for senior citizens).
Yes, most banks allow premature withdrawal of RD with a penalty of 0.5–1% on the applicable rate. Post Office RDs can be prematurely closed after 3 years. Missed installments attract a penalty of ₹1–2 per ₹100 per month.
