An easy to handle and completely safe investment option, Recurring Deposits work on a similar basis as Fixed Deposits. Even though both are beneficial in their way, Recurring Deposits are considered to be better for 2 primary reasons:
They do not have a fixed withdrawal period just like the Fixed Deposits.
Investments can be made as low as Rs. 10 monthly.
HDFC Bank also offers the option to open a Recurring Deposit account to its customers and let them save regularly by depositing a fixed amount for a fixed time period.
A reliable source just like Fixed Deposits, Recurring Deposit or RD account is available at multiple financial institutions, be it banks, Post Offices, or NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies). Recurring Deposit is an investment tool that offers guaranteed returns with low risks. With the flexibility to choose the tenure, investment amount, and other important details, RDs are a popular investment choice amongst Indian Citizens.
Recurring Deposits interest rates vary from one bank to another exactly like Fixed Deposit interest rates. The current HDFC RD rates for General Citizens may vary from 3.50% to 5.50%. RD Calculators are used in calculating the maturity amount by banks because the manual calculation of RD interest rates is a little difficult.
The literal meaning of Recurring is a situation or purpose taking place repeatedly for a defined period. HDFC Recurring Deposit account allows the account holder to deposit a suitable amount for a pre-defined period of time and save their hard-earned money. As the RD interest rate remains constant throughout the tenure, calculation of RD maturity amount becomes less complicated compared to other investment instruments.
The HDFC RD Calculator helps in the computation of the maturity amount just by entering a few basic details of the RD account and the account holder. RD Calculator is hands-down easy to use and hassle-free when compared to manual calculations as it reflects the accurate amount with almost no chance of error.

HDFC Recurring Deposit can be calculated both with the help of the HDFC RD Calculator and the RD Formula. Even though usage of a calculator is more efficient and hassle-free, an investor can also compute the maturity value manually with the help of the HDFC RD calculation formula mentioned below:
M =R X [(1 + i) X n – 1] / 1 - (1 + i) (-1 / 3)
Here,
R = Monthly deposited amount
n = Total number of quarters in the tenure
i = Rate of Interest divided by 400 (includes 4 quarters each year)
M = Maturity value
Ms. Rita has a RD account in HDFC Bank in the nearby branch from her home. She deposits an amount of Rs. 1,000 continuously for 10 years. Assuming the current Rate of Interest to be 10%, the maturity amount receivable by Ms. Rita, in the end, will be:
M =R X [(1 + i) X n – 1] / 1 - (1 + i) (-1 / 3)
R = Rs. 1,000
n = 10 years X 4 quarters = 40
i = 10 / 400 = 0.0145
Maturity amount = 1,000 X [(1 + 10) X 40 – 1] / 1 – (1 + 10) (-1 / 3)
Maturity amount = Rs. 2,06,552
