💡 Unlike an FD where the whole principal grows from Day 1, an RD involves monthly installments. Interest on the first installment compounds for the full tenure, while the last installment compounds for only one month. The IBA formula takes care of this compounding gradient automatically.

Understanding Recurring Deposits (RD)
A detailed guide on compounding interest, taxation, and rules in India

How RD Compounding Works

A Recurring Deposit (RD) is a systematic savings tool designed for individuals who want to deposit a fixed sum monthly rather than a lump sum. RDs earn stable interest comparable to FDs. In India, RD interest is compounded quarterly using the standard IBA mathematical model:

M = R × [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] / [ 1 - (1 + i)^(-1/3) ]

Where:

  • M = Maturity Value
  • R = Monthly Installment
  • n = Number of quarters (total tenure in months / 3)
  • i = Quarterly interest rate (Annual Rate / 400)

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and Income Tax on RD

Interest earned on RDs is fully taxable under "Income from Other Sources" at your applicable slab rate. The tax rules are synchronized with FD tax guidelines:

  • TDS threshold: If your interest income across all deposits with a bank exceeds ₹40,000 per year (or ₹50,000 for senior citizens), u/s 194A, banks will deduct TDS.
  • TDS Rates: 10% if PAN is provided, and 20% if PAN is not linked.
  • You can submit Form 15G or Form 15H if your total annual income is below the taxable threshold to declare tax exemption.

RD Accounts Key Features

  • Tenure: Usually ranges from a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 10 years.
  • Premature Withdrawal: Allowed, but with a penalty (usually 0.5% to 1% reduction in interest rate for the period the deposit remained with the bank).
  • Grace Period: Most banks allow a grace period of a few days for late payments. Regular delayed payments can result in penalties and reduced interest payouts.

Understanding Recurring Deposits (RD)

A Recurring Deposit is a powerful way to build up a significant lump sum using regular monthly contributions. Unlike a Fixed Deposit, you do not need to invest a large amount upfront. This makes RDs an ideal saving strategy for salaried professionals.

1. Encourages Saving Habits

With a fixed amount automatically deducted or deposited each month, an RD enforces financial discipline and builds a cushion for short-term goals.

2. Higher Interest than Savings Accounts

RDs earn interest rates equivalent to Fixed Deposits, which is significantly higher than standard savings bank interest rates.
