Introduction

A Recurring Deposit (RD) helps you put away money on a regular basis your bank, and earn interest income on it. It is similar to a Fixed Deposit (FD) where you enjoy a higher rate of interest than a savings account for the same principal amount.

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.

Investing in an RD account is a safe and secure way to save money for your short-term or long-term goals. Imagine stashing away some money to put in your piggy bank on a monthly basis. A recurring deposit works exactly like that except that it earns interest for the amount deposited in the account.
