Latest Recurring Deposit (RD) Interest Rates: SBI Vs Post Office
A recurring deposit (RD) helps one build savings through regular deposits over a fixed period of time. RD accounts offer you the option of investing a small portion of your money unlike fixed deposit (FD) accounts, which require you to block your money until a given period of time. "Recurring deposit is a good scheme for risk-averse investors who are unwilling to take any risk on their investment. These schemes allow them to accumulate certain funds without any risk and worry. On maturity, the individual will be paid a lump sum amount which includes the regular, periodic investments and the interest earned on them," said Abhinav Angirish-Founder-www.investonline.in.
State Bank of India (SBI), the largest lender of the country, has recently revised its fixed deposit interest rates. The interest rates on its recurring deposits are the same as those on its fixed deposits. Post offices also offer the option of opening an RD.
Given below is a comparison of interest rates on recurring deposits offered by SBI, post offices:
