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.
