Recurring Deposit (RD) is another safe way to invest money. Returns are guaranteed in RD. Banks offer RDs for tenures ranging from one to 10 years. It helps investors to invest a fixed amount every month and create a fund for short term needs.
It works like a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) of a mutual fund. That is, you have to invest a fixed amount every month in it. You get a pre-fixed interest on this. However, for this it is important that you have the required amount to invest every month.
This investment is suitable for those who do not have money to invest all at once but have regular income in which they can invest some money. Please tell here that the income earned on investment in RD is taxed. Both the money invested in RD and the interest earned are taxable.
