You also have an option to avail a loan against the RD. Banks may allow up to 95% of the deposit amount as a loan against deposit used as collateral.
Fore closure of Deposits will not be permitted until completion of 3 months From the date of Deposits. Deposits foreclosed after 3 months but before 6 months from the date of Deposits no Interest will be paid. Deposits foreclosed after 6 months, interest at 2% shall be deducted from the normal rate of Simple Interest for the period of Deposit.
Tax may be deducted at source if the interest income earned on recurring deposits across branches exceeds Rs.40,000 per financial year. The limit for senior citizens is Rs.50,000 per financial year.
Taxpayers with the total annual income within the basic exemption limit may submit Form 15G/15H to the bank requesting not to deduct tax at source.
The interest rate offered on RDs is always higher than the interest earned through a savings account. The interest rates offered on RDs are also similar to what you can earn through FDs.
However, the periodic investment instead of a lump sum amount makes it suitable for individuals who aim to create a corpus through their monthly savings.
