Recurring Deposit Vs Fixed Deposit: Which is Better?

Updated on November 17, 2024 , 9727 views

Recurring deposit Vs Fixed Deposit? Thinking where to save your money? Well, many times, investors get confused whether to invest in a Recurring Deposit (RD) or a Fixed Deposit (FD). Though they are the most popular saving schemes, especially amongst risk-averse investors, it is important to understand how RD and FD differ from each other and which is a better Investing option.

Recurring Deposit (RD)

RD is a Financial Instrument mainly directed towards encouraging savings. In this scheme, investors have the flexibility to save a specific sum every month either in a Bank’s or financial institution’s RD account for a predetermined tenure and earn interest on this amount. At maturity, interest is paid out along with the principal amount.

Fixed Deposit (FD)

Fixed deposits are a type of financial instruments provided by banks for a fixed predefined tenure and a Fixed Rate of Interest. In this scheme, a fixed sum is deposited once at the time of creating an FD account. At the end of the tenure, the interest amount for the chosen tenure is calculated with the principal amount and the total sum is paid out cumulatively.

Recurring Deposit VS Fixed Deposit

Parameters Recurring Deposit (RD) Fixed Deposit (FD)
Tenure Tenure of RD usually varies from 6 months to 10 years Tenure of FD scheme ranges between 7 days to 10 years
Interest Calculations compounding of interest generally occurs on every quarter for an RD scheme In FD, compound interest is calculated on the interest accrued every year
Eligibility All resident Indians and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) are eligible to open RD account. This account can also be opened for minors by their parents or legal guardians All resident Indians and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) are eligible to open a fixed deposit account
Tax Benefits No tax benefit is offered in this scheme For Fixed Deposit, a tax exemption under the Section 80C of income tax Act 1961 is applicable. This is applicable for deposits over 5 years (as per current laws)
Rate of Return The interest rate is same as FD but usually, depends on tenure and monthly investment amount The interest rate is same as RD but depends on the Capital and tenure opted for
Additional Benefits Most banks offer loans for up to 90% of the deposit value Most banks offer loans for up to 70%- 90% of the deposit value.
Withdrawals In some case, premature withdrawal is allowed without a penalty. While some banks may charge a penalty Premature withdrawal is allowed with a penalty
Income Interest Interest earned on RD is taxable and most banks deduct TDS Interest earned on FD is taxable and most of the banks deduct TDS

FD-Vs-RD

Recurring Deposit VS Fixed Deposit: Where to Earn More?

Since both RD and FD are suitable for risk-averse investors, the final choice depends on one’s needs. In an FD account, interest is compounded on the initial lump sum deposited. The entire deposited amount earns interest for a year. However, in a RD, only the 1st deposit earns interest for the first year, i.e. 12 months. The second deposit earns interest for 11 months, the third for 10 months, and so on. The compounding effect enables Fixed Deposits to generate higher returns for the investors.

Though in time, one can earn more money with a Fixed Deposit (example illustrated below), but it does not have the flexibility of a Recurring Deposit account in terms of being able to deposit small amounts monthly. So, those who don’t have a lump sum to invest can prefer monthly investments.

For better understanding, we have illustrated the difference in both the schemes. Users can hence clearly understand and choose well.

Illustration:

Lets’ assume you invest INR 1000 (monthly for a year) in a Recurring Deposit and you have invested lump sum INR 12,000 in a Fixed Deposit at the start of the year. Both these products offer you a 9 percent interest compounded quarterly. So, the Earnings from these two schemes is as given below-

Particulars Recurring Deposit (RD) Fixed Deposit (FD)
Amount Invested INR 5,000 (monthly) INR 60,000 (lump sum)
Tenure 12 months 12 months
Annual Interest Rates 6% 6%
Total Amount Earned INR 61,986 INR 63,701
Net Profit INR 1,986 INR 3,701

Now when you know the major difference between RD and FD, you can choose one and invest wisely. Though FD gives a better growth comparatively to RD, most of the time, it is not feasible for a single instrument to meet all your needs. So, when you don’t have a lump sum to invest, you can save a smaller amount from your income every month and invest in a Recurring Deposit!
