SIP vs RD

Which is Better Investment Option?

SIP vs RD? where to invest for better wealth creation? An ultimate approach to generate wealth is saving money every month. Typically, a Systematic Investment plan (SIP) and an RD (Recurring deposit) are two of the most efficient investment options in India to save money every month. Both SIP and RD enable investors to invest small sums of money in regular intervals to earn good returns. With a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), the investors have to invest a small amount of money, either monthly or quarterly, to earn Market-linked returns. While with an RD (Recurring Deposit), the investor invests fixed amount of money for a pre-decided period to yield fixed returns. Now, the investors can easily calculate SIP returns using a sip calculator and RD returns using an RD Calculator to estimate their investment needs.

In India, few of the most convenient periodic investment options include SIP, RD and PPF (SIP being the most popular one).

SIP-VS-RD

SIP Vs RD - Product Structure

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)

A SIP is an Investing mode to invest a certain amount in Mutual Funds periodically. The minimum amount to invest in a SIP is as less as INR 500. Usually, SIPs in equity are said to offer good returns because they are market linked and can give return commensurate to the market. As per various sources, the SIP returns over long periods can be as high as 12% to 22% p.a., which is much higher than the interest rates offered by an RD (Recurring Deposit). The only disadvantage of a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is that the SIP returns are volatile since they are market-linked, so the risk Factor is much higher. However, when invested for long-term, SIPs are considered to offer good returns.

Recurring Deposit (RD)

A Recurring Deposit or RD is an investment scheme in which the investor has to choose an investment amount and the tenure of investment before investing. Under an RD, the investor has to invest monthly over the selected tenure to earn some interest and the invested amount. Generally, the interest rate of RD varies from 7% to 9% p.a. and is consequently higher for senior citizens. The RD return rate is much less than a Fixed Deposit and SIP because an RD earns interest of the entire 12 months only on the first deposit. On the second deposit in an RD, the interest is earned for 11 months, on the third deposit for 10 months and so on. So, there are no compounding benefits in an RD, unlike FD and SIP. The RD returns are fixed and can be calculated easily using an RD calculator. The major disadvantage of a Recurring Deposit is that it is not tax efficient. TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is applicable on the interest Income from RD.

SIP Vs RD: Which is Better RD Or SIP?

Difference Between Recurring Deposit and SIP

The factors used here are the rate of return, liquidity, taxation, Volatility, risk factors, etc.

Factors Recurring Deposit (RD) Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
Rate of Return The SIP returns are market-linked and may vary depending on the type of fund and the fund performance. However, the returns of a SIP are usually good when invested for a longer tenure. The return rate of an RD is fixed due to its Fixed Interest Rate. So, there is no effect of market volatility on this investment.
Investment Scheme In a RD scheme, you will have to invest in a deposit plan that will give you fixed rate of returns. You can also opt for flexible recurring deposit scheme if you are looking for more flexibility. In a SIP for mutual funds, you can choose between debt or equity type of funds depending on your risk capability.
Investment Type In a Recurring deposit scheme, the investor has to deposit a fixed amount every month. Systematic Investment Plan is a way to put your money on mutual funds. Investment can be done on a periodic Basis - daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly.
Liquidity To Cancel SIP, the investors can simply close their investment and withdraw their money without any penal charges. In the case of an RD, the premature withdrawal or closure of the investment will cause penalty charges.
Taxation Recurring Deposit amount or the interest earned on it are not exempted from tax. SIP investments and returns are exempted from tax only when invested on Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) funds.
Volatility Being market-linked, the SIP returns are volatile and may vary from fund to fund. The RD returns are fixed and thus it is not a volatile investment.
Risk Factor The risk factor is almost null in an RD investment as the returns are fixed. It is one of the safest investment. The risk in SIP is higher than that in an RD, as SIP returns depend on stock market and Asset Allocation.
Investment Goal Recurring Deposits usually serve short-term savings goal and do not help in long-term wealth growth. SIPs can help in all kinds of investments goals, whether short- or long –term, depending on the frequency of investment, funds chosen and other factors.
Installment Frequency Recurring Deposit usually come with monthly instalments SIPs offer flexible instalment plans of daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly etc.

Evaluation: Returns of SIP Vs RD

SIP-Return-Calculator

In conclusion, here are some final tips for investors.

  • If you are a risk-averse investor, RD or Recurring Deposit is a better option. The RD interest rate and returns are capped beforehand and are usually not very high, may vary from 7-9% p.a.
  • If you wish to take a little risk, SIP is one of the best investment options for long-term investment. As per the analysis, SIPs offer good returns and the interest rates are usually higher, exceeding to 15% p.a. in some cases.
  • When investing for 5 years, RD is a safer option for investors who are looking for fixed returns.
  • However, when investing for a longer duration (more than 5 years) for a certain financial goal, SIP offers good returns and the money growth is much higher.

“Investing in equity via SIP is like planting a tree, one has to be patient to avail the fruits.”
