What is a Recurring Deposit (RD)?

Updated on April 16, 2026 , 63081 views

If you know how a Systematic Investment plan (SIP) of Mutual Funds works, then you will easily understand Recurring Deposits! In a Recurring Deposit (RD) a fixed instalment is made every month and interest is paid by the Bank on this amount. Let us understand more about RD account, RD Interest Rates, RD Calculator, RD interest calculator, etc.

Recurring Deposit (RD)

A recurring deposit is an investment cum savings option for those who want to save regularly over a certain period of time and earn a higher interest rate. Every month, a fixed amount of money is deducted either from a Savings Account or a current account. At the end of the maturity period, investors are paid back their invested funds with accrued interest.

Recurring-Deposit

At a public sector bank, an RD account can be opened with a minimum amount of as less as INR 100. While, at private sector banks the minimum amount to be deposited is INR 500 to INR 1000, whereas in a Post Office one can open an account at just INR 10. Some banks have an upper limit of INR 15 lakh, while others don’t have any such upper limit. The tenure for Recurring Deposit is a minimum of three months and maximum of 10 years.

Features of RD Account

  • It inculcates a habit of savings amongst people
  • The rate of interest in a Recurring Deposit is high
  • RD schemes provide a stable and safe investment option irrespective of market fluctuations
  • Investors can close their RD account before the maturity period. But, during the premature withdrawals, investors may have to pay some amount in the form of penalty, depending on the bank.
  • Investors can opt for loans up to 60-90% of the balance, against the Recurring Deposit
  • The bank may discontinue an account on six missed instalments. But, if the outstanding amount is paid within a month from the last default, it can be revived.
  • Recurring Deposits come with a nomination facility
  • There is no TDS (Tax Deducted at source) in Recurring Deposits. The interest portion is taxable and will be added to an investor’s income and taxed as per the relevant slab.

RD Interest Rates

Almost all the major banks in India offer a Recurring Deposit account. The interest rate at every bank may vary, but it typically ranges between 2.75% to 7.50% p.a, and at the post office it is 7.4% (depending on prevailing market condition). Senior citizens get 0.5% extra. The interest rate, once determined does not change during the tenure. Investors who want to pay more than one instalment at a time, can do so.
