Introduction

A Recurring Deposit (RD) is a safe and convenient way of saving money while also earning interest on it. An RD allows you to deposit a fixed amount as per your budget on a regular basis with your bank, and it is similar to a Fixed Deposit (FD) in that you enjoy a higher rate of interest than a savings account for the same principal amount. At the end of the tenure, the funds are transferred along with the accrued interest to the bank account specified at the time of booking of the RD.

The main difference between an FD and an RD is that a recurring deposit allows you to make ongoing periodic investments in the deposit, whereas in a fixed deposit, you need to deposit the entire lump amount at the time you open the FD account. It is often recommended for starters who wish to save.
