Frequently Asked Questions

How is interest compounded on a Recurring Deposit?▼
Under Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, recurring deposit interest is compounded on a quarterly basis, even though installments are deposited monthly.
Is RD interest taxable?▼
Yes. Recurring deposit interest is fully taxable at your income tax slab rate under "Income from Other Sources." Banks deduct 10% TDS under Section 194A if total interest exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens) in a financial year.
What happens if I miss an RD installment?▼
Banks allow a grace period, but missing an installment generally incurs a penalty fee (usually ₹1 to ₹2 per ₹100 installment amount). If multiple consecutive installments are missed, the bank may prematurely terminate the RD.
Can I change my monthly RD installment amount midway?▼
No. Once an RD is opened, the monthly installment amount and deposit date are fixed for the entire tenure. To save more or less, you must open an additional RD or wait until maturity.
What is the minimum tenure for an RD?▼
Commercial banks offer RD tenures starting from a minimum of 6 months up to a maximum of 10 years (120 months). Post Office RDs have a mandatory standard tenure of 5 years (60 months).
Can I take a loan against my Recurring Deposit?▼
Yes. Most banks permit depositors to borrow up to 80% to 90% of their accumulated RD balance as an overdraft or loan, charging an interest rate typically 1% to 2% above the RD rate.
