Introduction

A Recurring Deposit (RD) is a form of a term deposit which allows you to deposit a fixed amount on a periodic basis with your bank, and earn interest income on it. It is similar to an FD where you enjoy a higher amount of interest than a savings account for the chosen tenure on the principal amount. The main differentiator between and FD and an RD is that 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.

Recurring deposits are safe and secure investments that guarantees good returns. It is possible to break an RD prematurely—up on payment of a penalty or incurring loss of some interest—but it is still among the most liquid investments.

Investing in an RD account can be an ideal way to save money. Your financial goal could be creating an emergency nest, funds for higher education of your child, or simply to avail a luxury vacation at the end of the RD period with your savings. Whatever the case be, opening an RD could address part of your financial goal—both short-term and long-term.

Advantages to opening an RD account

  • An RD account can be opened with as little as Rs. 10 (This varies from bank to bank)
  • No need to invest a bulk amount all in one go. You can invest a small fixed amount every month.
  • Interest Rate earned is equal to that of an FD
  • Flexible tenures and deposit amounts to suit the budget of the individual
  • Recurring Deposit Interest rate is fixed.
  • Loan / overdraft facility available with some banks.
  • The rate of interest is higher as compared to an ordinary saving bank account

Disadvantages

The interest earned might be lower to other, more riskier forms of investment, say investing in mutual funds, etc. But the money is at least safe and secure from market fluctuations.
