This page explains recurring deposit planning. It is a calculation guide with no live RD calculator. Your bank’s current deposit terms determine the actual maturity amount.
Separate deposits from interest
Monthly deposits of ₹5,000 for twelve months contribute ₹60,000 of principal: ₹5,000 × 12. Interest is added separately. Each deposit remains invested for a different period.
Record the deposit terms
Check the monthly instalment, number of instalments, applicable rate, deposit dates and the bank’s compounding and rounding method. Delayed instalments, premature closure and taxes can change the amount received.
Why a single lump sum formula is insufficient
Treating all twelve deposits as if they were invested on the first day overstates their time invested. An estimate must account for the timing of each instalment and the deposit’s actual method of calculating interest.
This guide does not quote a current RD rate or promise an exact bank maturity value. Use the bank’s product terms and maturity quote for the deposit you intend to open.
