Frequently Asked Questions — Recurring Deposit

What is a Recurring Deposit?

An RD lets you deposit a fixed amount monthly and earn guaranteed interest. Interest is compounded quarterly as per RBI norms. It combines regular saving discipline with FD-level returns.

What are current RD rates in 2025?

SBI: 6.5–7.1%, HDFC: 7–7.75%, ICICI: 7–7.75%, Post Office RD: 6.7% p.a. Senior citizens get 0.25–0.5% extra at banks.

How is RD maturity calculated?

Each monthly instalment earns interest from its deposit date. For ₹5,000/month at 6.5% for 24 months: total deposited = ₹1,20,000, maturity ≈ ₹1,28,770 — interest earned = ₹8,770.

Is RD interest taxable?

Yes — taxed at your income slab rate. Banks deduct TDS if annual interest exceeds ₹40,000. Submit Form 15G/15H if your income is below taxable limit.

Can I break an RD prematurely?

Yes, but banks charge a penalty of ₹1–2 per ₹100 per month. Missing 3+ consecutive instalments may result in premature closure at a penalised rate.

Disclaimer: RD rates vary by bank and tenure. Verify current rates before investing.
