Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. How is RD interest calculated in India?
In India, banks compound RD interest quarterly. The interest for the first deposit earns interest for the entire tenure, while the last deposit earns interest for just one month.
Q. What happens if I miss an RD installment?
Banks usually charge a small penalty for missed installments, and the final maturity value will be reduced proportionally.
