RD Calculator India — Recurring Deposit Returns

Calculate recurring deposit maturity with quarterly compounding, year-by-year breakdown, TDS notes, and RD vs FD comparison.

Last updated: June 2026

Based on Indian banking RD rules — quarterly compounding, TDS thresholds

Total Deposited

₹1,20,000

Interest Earned

₹9,099

Maturity Value

₹1,29,099

Maturity: ₹1.29 lakh

TDS note: If your total interest across all bank accounts exceeds ₹40,000 in a year (₹50,000 for senior citizens), the bank deducts 10% TDS on RD interest. Submit Form 15G/15H if your income is below the taxable limit.
💡 If you invested the same total amount (₹1,20,000) as a lump sum FD at the same rate, maturity would be ₹1,37,866. RD gives less because deposits are spread over time (difference: ₹8,767).
