Frequently Asked Questions
How is interest calculated on a Recurring Deposit?
As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) directives, interest on Commercial Bank and Post Office RDs is compounded quarterly. The first instalment earns interest for the full tenure, the second for one month less, and so forth, compounding every three months.
Is bank TDS deducted on RD interest?
Yes, under Section 194A of the Income Tax Act, banks deduct 10% TDS if your aggregate interest across all FD and RD accounts in the bank exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for Senior Citizens) in a financial year. You can submit Form 15G or 15H to prevent TDS if your total income is below taxable limits.
What happens if I miss an RD instalment?
Banks typically levy a nominal penalty (e.g. ₹1.50 per ₹100 of instalment) for delayed payments. If multiple consecutive instalments are missed (usually 4 to 6 months), the bank may close the RD account prematurely.
