Frequently Asked Questions

How is RD maturity calculated?
Every monthly deposit earns quarterly-compounded interest for the months it stays invested, so earlier deposits earn more. ₹5,000/month for 5 years at 7% matures at about ₹3,58,000 on ₹3,00,000 deposited.
What is the difference between RD and FD?
An FD is one lump sum locked for the term; an RD builds up through equal monthly deposits — better if you're saving from monthly income rather than investing a lump sum you already have.
Is RD interest taxed?
Yes, like FD interest it's taxable at your income-tax slab, and TDS may be deducted above a threshold. There's no special tax exemption for ordinary recurring deposits.
