Recurring Deposit & How to Calculate Returns

Saving a small amount regularly is a great way to accumulate funds. But investment plays a crucial role in helping wealth grow. There are a lot of financial instruments that allow you to build wealth. However, choosing the right financial instrument for yourself matters.

If you are not keen on investing in market-linked products, you can consider investing in a Recurring Deposit (RD), which is an ideal option for a conservative investor. RD is a traditional avenue & it guarantees valuable returns in the long run. 

Let’s know more about its features, RD interest rate, returns, eligibility & more.

Recurring Deposit is the perfect option for safe investors who aim to save for life goals such as children’s education, a vacation, a wedding, or any other life goals. Many individuals invest in this term deposit to earn guaranteed returns at the best interest rates.

Below are some features and benefits of opening a Recurring Deposit with us.

• Avail assured returns on the principal amount saved in the Recurring Deposit.

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

In the above formula,

Both Fixed Deposits & Recurring Deposits may seem the same to you, but the investments differ in certain aspects. Let’s get to know how:
