Is Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme is one of the best recurring deposit scheme in India? Many of us invest in this product. However, we hardly know the rules and regulations of the same. Let us see rules in details.
Who can open Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme?
The Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme can be opened by anyone of the below-mentioned individuals.
1. A single adult.
2. Two adults jointly (Remember that in case of joint accounts, the maturity amount will be payable to both jointly or survivor or to either of them or survivor). A single account can be converted into jointly and vice versa.
3. A guardian on behalf of a minor or a person of unsound mind.
4. A minor who has attained the age of 10 years, in his own name. This rules may not be known to many. However, it is the truth that if your kid is 10 years or more, then he can open the account in his name itself. Guardian is not required for such accounts.
A single depositor may have more than one account in his name or jointly with another individual. NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) are not eligible to open the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD). Also, HUFs are not eligible to open the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD).
However, if an individual opened the account and after that he becomes NRI, then he can continue the account till maturity on a non-repatriation basis.
There is no maximum age limit to open the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme.
Tenure of the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme
It is 5 years scheme or 60 months scheme. Therefore, the maturity period will be 5 years.
Minimum and Maximum Deposit in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme
- The minimum amount to deposit in Post Office RD is Rs.10 and in multiples of Rs.5.
- There is no such maximum limit specified.
What is the interest rate of Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme?
Currently, as per the new rules of Post Office Saving Schemes 2016, the interest rate will be declared on a quarterly basis. Hence, while opening the account, you have to track what is the rate of interest for that particular quarter. Based on that the interest will be fixed for your RD. Refer this post for the changes “Post Office Savings Schemes -Changes effective from 1st, April 2016“.
Tax Benefits of Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
There are no tax benefits available by investing in Post Office RD. However, the interest income should be considered as taxable income. This interest income will be taxed under the income head of “Income from Other Sources”.
There is no TDS on such accumulated corpus. But it is purely depositor responsibility to declare the income and pay the tax as per his tax slab.
When to deposit Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme?
The first investment should be at the time of account opening. After that let us say you opened the account between 1st to 15th date of the month, then subsequent deposits must be within 1st to 15th of a month.
However, if the account opened between 16th to the end of the month, then you can deposit on any day between 16th date to end of the month.
If a deposit is made by means of a cheque/pay order/DD, the date of its clearance into the Post Office Savings Bank will be considered as the date of deposit.
Nomination facility in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
You can nominate during account opening time or even after the opening of the Post Office RD at your ease.
What if you failed to deposit or default in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)?
# If defaults are not more than 4 months-If your default is not more than 4 months (7 months for personnel of Defence Services (excluding Civilian Defense Employees)), then you can extend the maturity date to equal numbers of such defaults. For example, if you defaulted for 3 months, then you can extend the maturity date to 3 months. You can deposit the defaulted amount during such extended period.
# If defaults are more than 4 months– If there are more than 4 defaults ((7 months for personnel of Defence Services (excluding Civilian Defense Employees)), the account will be treated as discontinued. The revival of the account will be permitted only within a period of two months from the month of fifth default. If the depositor fails to deposit next monthly deposit within this time prescribed, a default fee at the rate of 5 paise for every Rs.5 per defaulted deposits will also be paid along with a regular monthly deposit.
If you deposited all defaulted deposits along with prescribed default fee and within a prescribed time, then the account will not be treated as discontinued.
Advance deposit facility in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
You can deposit in advance into your Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD). But the minimum such advance deposits are 6 monthly installments. You can opt this option at any point of time in a month. There is a rebate for such advance deposit and it is as below.
# If you deposit more than 6 but less than 11 installments in advance in a month-Rs.1 discount for each Rs.10 installment. Therefore, if you are depositing Rs.10,000, then the discount is Rs.1,000.
# If you deposit more than 12 installments in advance in a month-Rs.4 discount for every Rs.12 deposits and one rupee for the balance, if any, of not less than six deposits.
Premature closure of Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
You are allowed to close the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) at any point of time after 3 years of completion. But you will not receive the RD interest rate on such premature closure account. Instead, Post Office will pay you the savings account interest rate.
However, premature closure is not allowed until the period for which the advance deposit made in cases of advance deposit in RD.
Whether you can extended the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)?
Here you have two options to extend and I explained the both as below.
1) Extension of Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) with the contribution
If you completely paid 60 monthly installments at maturity time, then you can extend the account for further 5 years. However, this extended account is considered as fresh account for deposit and interest rate calculation. The new RD rules will apply to such extended account.
The only exception during this extended period is that you can discontinue the account at any point of time. There is no such hard rule that you must complete another 3 years to close it.
However, you will not receive the RD interest rate for such premature closure accounts. Post Office will pay you the savings account interest rate.
2) Extension of Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) without further contribution
If you completely paid the 60 monthly installments at maturity time, then you can extend the account for further 5 years without any further contribution.
However, if you closed the account before the 5 years (at any point of time you can close it), then you are entitled for the post office savings account interest rate.
What if the depositor dies before the maturity of Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account?
In the case of the death of depositor in a single account or both in joint accounts, your nominee will not be allowed to deposit in such accounts.
Nominee or legal heir is allowed to withdraw the full value of RD account as of today immediately.
However, below is some exception to it.
If 5 years completed but not extended, then such account will be eligible for savings account interest rate (for the period of the days after maturity).
If less than 5 years completed, then nominee have rights to withdraw the money at the time of maturity, then the savings account interest rate will be applicable for such amount to till maturity period.
In the case of joint accounts, if one holder dies, then the surviving holder can continue the account as usual. However, if the surviving account holder wish to close the account, then he can close it at any point of time.
In the case of death of a guardian, the new guardian may close the account at any point of time.
Advance withdrawal facility in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
If your account is not in a condition of discontinued, then you are allowed to withdraw after a year (or 12 installments paid) but not more than 50% of the deposits made into account.
You can repay at any point of time before the closure of an account. They charge some simple interest on such withdrawal.
If you have not paid the due advance and interest on that, then at maturity time, then during payment such withdrawal is recovered and paid to the depositor, nominee or legal heirs as the case may be.
Procedure of minor attaining the majority in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
- Minor can continue the account till maturity by writing a letter to Post Office as ““I hereby declare that the Post Office Savings Bank General Rules, 1981 and the Post Office Recurring Deposits rules 1981 have been read by/to me and that I accept the said rules and all such amendments thereto as may be issued from time to time as binding on me”.
- If he intends to stop then he can do so by claiming the proportionate amount.
How to open Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme?

# Fill the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Opening Form. Download the same HERE.

Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme -Best recurring deposit plan?
After reading all features and benefits of the RD, do you feel that it is BEST RECURRING DEPOSIT PLAN? My thoughts are as below.
# Liquidity is an issue. Hence, I try to avoid the product as much as possible.
# Online facility of deposit is yet to takes place. Hence, operating the account may be cumbersome (Only option is to link the post office savings account to the recurring deposit account for standing transfer instruction to the RD.)
# There is no tax benefit. Hence, no point in investing for your 5 years goal as a debt instrument. Instead of that, short-term or ultra short term debt funds feels more tax efficient.
# Treat this product as debt product. Hence, safety, liquidity, and tax efficiency must be your priority rather than return expectation.
# Rules may confuse many or few Post Officials may not know the rules completely. This may turn to be the biggest hazard in investing and operating RD account.

It is learnt that in case of extended RDs(Beyond 5 years) the rate of interest applicable is the same as on the date,of initial deposit(5 years back), Is it correct?
Dear PVR,
No, it is based on the prevailing rate.
My Post office RD is getting matured this month but I am not in India this whole year, is there any online mode available from where I can withdraw it.
Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!!
Thank you
Dear Nitin,
Sadly NO.
Hi,
My Dad had renewed his Post Office RD and at the end of 10 years on maturity, he was paid the interest together earlier this year.
However, as the RD is across 10 years, can we divide that interest by 10 to arrive at interest for only this FY and pay tax on that? Also, post office has not deducted any TDS on this.
As tax on RD interest rule is only for last few years, should we still pay tax on the whole interest amount, which is for the last 10 years?
Thanks
Dear Aishwarya,
You can’t carry forward or backword this income. Instead, you have to show it in income and pay the tax as per the applicable tax rate for him.
Hello sir,

Dear Kishlay,
If both the branches are centralized, then you can withdraw. Otherwise, sadly you have to visit the concerned post office.
What if my maturity is due 6 months and i pay all the money in advance. Can i withdraw my matured rd or i will have to wait untill it reaches maturity date
Dear Shubham,
You have to wait till maturity.
Sir,

How many times we can extend our RD account (in block of 5 years)
Dear Vishnu,
There is no such restrictions.
Hello sir,
I have opened RD account in 2018 and is due to mature in the year 2022 December. I’ve been regularly making payments to PO for the RD account and no penalties till date. I had been to PO to withdraw certain amount (less than 50% of what I had in 3rd year), but the PO people bluntly say, we are not allowed. It’s for an emergency I’m trying to withdraw and these people without asking for a reason, they directly say – No. I’m planning to close the account, would it be possible? I still have an year left to make the deposit to complete 5 years. Any insight would help me to tackle this situation. Thank you
Dear Sridhara,
Please ask them valid reasons in writing.
Sir
My name is krishna I paid 4 months rd after that I noticed that agent was not paying amount regularly so I was not paid amount 8 months now one year completed I want withdraw rd amount or closing id possible.
Dear krishna,
Sadly you can’t close now.
Dear Basu,
Suppose if one wants to open a RD, then do he/she needs to show the source of income? Because I read on India post website ‘The customer has to submit copy of document showing source of receipt of funds tendered for investment’ for high risk customers. if yes, what can be shown? Secondly, can a nri’s wife, who is living in India and jobless/housewife, can open a RD? If yes, what can be shown as source of income?
Thanks for your reply.
Raja.
Dear Raja,
I don’t think one has to show the income proof to open RD. You can do it. Yes, wife of NRI can open the RD.
Hello sir,

Hi,

Sir
If post office RD account was extended for 5 years after maturity but the party died after 8 years. What is the interest rate is applicable to this extended account and ruling please
Dear Venkatesh,
It is the rate of interest that was there during the time of an extension.
Hi,
My post office RD matured on April 2021. The agent agreed to open a post office SB account for transferring matured amount from RD to SB account.
After amount transfer, my presence in post office is mandatory for any kind of transaction or is Internet banking available? If yes, should I go to post office at least once for enabling internet banking?
Dear Pramod,
Once you open the savings account and request for closure of RD, then your presence is not required.
I have just renewed my Rd after 5 years. I just want to know whether I will receive interest for 10 years or 5 years on my first installment of recurring deposit . How can I know what will be maturity amount of my RD.
Dear Raj,
If you renewed your RD, then you will get your contribution of 10 years and interest on it at maturity. Check with Post Office to know about exact maturity value.
Sir,
I have One RD Account in a Tamil Nad (TN) Post Office. I live in Karnataka. RD Account was opened with my Karnataka residential address. All instalments have been paid and the account has now matured for repayment in May 2021. I have a valid and active P. O. S B Account in the town of my residence in Karnataka.
As Senior Citizens (self and my husband), owing to Covid – 19 conditions, we have not travelled out of our place of residence for the past two years. For the TN RD account closure, the Account closure form (SB – 7A) and the RD account Pass Book were presented to the RD Account-holding TN Post Office through a representative, seeking closure of my matured RD Account and transfer of the proceeds by TN Post Office to my Karnataka Post Office S B Account.
TN Post Office insists on my personal presence at the TN Post Office.
As a measure of safety, Govt. advisories and doctors advise people — particularly senior citizens — not to go out unless absolutely unavoidable. Is the insistence of the TN Post Office for my personal presence correct ? Is there any way we can avoid travel to TN Post Office from Karnataka for this purpose? Please advise.
Dear Lakshmi,
These guys not understand the situation. But they have to follow the rules at any cost. This is the biggest issue with Post Office. Better you wait for some time and then approach physically.
Dear Sir,
I have submitted in post office rd by agent to 2 years 8 month but with some
financial problem as well as agent behavior not good I wish to close it after 3 years. He is saying that it will require to submit 37 months regular. In my updated account
he has given 1 default in mean though I submitted in regular. Please clear me if I really need to submit 37 months to closure my account or I can withdraw it after 36 deposit. Is there some rule or required sign by agent to withdraw my money.
Dear Anand,
After 3 years you can close it.
Hello Sir

Thanks sir for response . And appreciate this , as it is helping numerous common people .
Is there any time limit by which I will have to close these account. It is already 1 year and probably one more year , as I will be returning India next year .

Brijen

Hi Basu,
Is there a rule that all RDs opened after May-16 would need to have a savings account opened with the Post Office? For my RD, which matured in May-21, the post office is asking me to open a savings account and maturity proceeds will be transferred to that account. Is this a mandatory requirement?

Sir,
I have a clarification on the rate of interest when RD account is extended. As per my broker, I will get the old rate i.e. 8.4% for account opened in June 2015. I checked various web sites and India POST web site but nowhere interest rate is mentioned for extensions. I also downloaded an app “Post Office Interest Calculator” by relicus global and that also says that old interest will continue.
Please advise.
Dear Anuj,
For extended accounts, the new rate will be applicable than the old.
Thanks sir for your quick help. Is there some reference that I can show him as many people are following my broker?
Dear Anuj,
Why not rather than trusting either me or broker, approach the post office? This is the standard rule and I am not sure how he is misguiding.
Thanks Sir.
Anuj Did you get the clarification on the same as my broker also saying same that old interest will continue for extended period.

hello sir,i want to open 5000 rs per month rd in post office,if ican make advance payment of rs 60000 in starting ,what will be the rebate on that
Dear Ankush,
Refer the details provided already in the above post.
Dear Sir,
My RD account is matured this month (Feb 2020) and would like to extend it for another 5 years with the same deposit amount. I read that the interest rate of my RD won’t continue and the new rates will be applicable. So it’s similar to closing the existing RD and opening a new one with a new interest rate, the extension only helps in not feeling the details and updating the forms again. Am I right here? Thanks in advance.
Dear Sree,
Yes.
I open a rd account on 21th march 2015 so what is my maturity date?
Dear Jishan,

Actually i want to know that is 21th march 2020 or 31th march 2020 will be the maturity date?
Dear Jishan,
It is 21st March.
Hello , I have opened RD Saving account at Post office(near where I stay) I deposit 500 RS every paid but after 5 times I stopped as I move to other place … so my balance is 2500 and this Aug 2020 I wil complete 5 years .. will I be eligible to claim with interest
Dear Bantu,
Yes.
Hi, I have an RD account. Which were supposed to be matured on 29th-nov. But due to confusion my agent and I gave the application for account closer on 26th-nov (3days early) and account got closed by post office. I got a interest rate of savings account not the R.D. account.
What we can do for this. Agent and I both got confused in the maturity date and Post-office counter person did not informed us that it is a premature closer.
I lost around 20000/- just because we closed the account 3 day early. Please suggest what we can do to correct it.
Dear Dhiranjan,
As the maturity is few days away and you are eligible to close the RD after 3 years of completion, savings account interest is not applicable to you. Hence, you have reason to fight.
Hello, My brother and my mother has joint account, my brother passed away, per your article my mother can close the account. What are the formalities and what paperwork is required for the same.
Dear Nancy,

Sir, my rd has matured. I want to withdraw the same. Is it possible to withdraw from any of the post offices. Or should I go to the concerned post office where I opened?
Dear Rosin,
You have to sadly visit to the Office where it is opened.
Dear Basavaraj,
I transferred my RD account to a different post office one year ago. After the transfer, the first payment into the account is not reflecting in the account statement. But there is no default in payment (or default fee) applicable as well. Now that I have made 26 payments, the account balance shows only 25 payments.
Any idea this could be due to error in software?
Whom should I approach regarding the issue?
Kindly help.
Dear Santhosh,
Yes, it may be an error with their software. Better to contact the new branch at first.
What is default fee for subsequent month?
I am clear about first month.
Dear Ankit,
It is same.
My RD has got matured this month. The agent is insisting me to an account with Indiapost to withdraw . Is the only way to withdraw my amount?

Dear Sir, I have a RD account in postoffice in which I deposit an amount of Rs.5000 per month. This year I have got a rebate of Rs.2000 on an adavance deposit of 12 months amounting to Rs. 60000.They have calculated the rebate amount as 4 per Rs.10. So in 5000 I got a rebate of 2000. Is this calculation correct or should I get a rebate on amount 60000.?
Dear Barun,
Their calculation is correct.
Dear sir,
Can you explain how this correct amount, the post office provide us 1 Rs per 10 and 4 Rs per 12 as a rebate for such advance deposit, it should be more then 2000 SR if she deposit her 12 installments in a month according to below given information by your website.
Please advise.
Advance deposit facility in Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD)
You can deposit in advance into your Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD). But the minimum such advance deposits are 6 monthly installments. You can opt this option at any point of time in a month. There is a rebate for such advance deposit and it is as below.
# If you deposit more than 6 but less than 11 installments in advance in a month-Rs.1 discount for each Rs.10 installment. Therefore, if you are depositing Rs.10,000, then the discount is Rs.1,000.
# If you deposit more than 12 installments in advance in a month-Rs.4 discount for every Rs.12 deposits and one rupee for the balance, if any, of not less than six deposits.
Dear Amjad,
For Rs.12 rupee the discount is Rs.4 accordingly you can calculation proportional amount.

Dear Murali,
Please cross check with concerned post office to find out the reasons behind delay.
Hi sir,
I am planning to open an RD account with 10000/- per month for 3 years period, if I open in a bank I see that tds is levied on it. But in post office rd as there is no tax, but it is 5 year plan if I want to close the post office rd in 3 years what will be the interest I be getting, should I choose to do it in a bank or post office , please suggest, thank you in advance
Dear Naresh,
Do you feel avoiding TDS means avoiding TAX? Regarding your requirement, you can open with Post Office and close it once it completes 3 years. You will get the same interest rate without any penalty.
Sir , but as it is written in the blog “You are allowed to close the Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) at any point of time after 3 years of completion. But you will not receive the RD interest rate on such premature closure account. Instead, Post Office will pay you the savings account interest rate” as the savings account interest will be just 4 to 4.5 percent which we get on a normal savings account then what difference does it make . if that is not the case then wat could be the approximate interest i can expect for rs10000pm * 3 years. Could you please suggest why and in what all ways it is better for me . Thank you
Dear Naresh,
You can close it after three years.
Dear Sir

2) can we change the nominee after next or next month like , after we opened the account with RD?
3) can we close the account after 1 month ?

2) YES.
3) NO.
4) YES possible.
I have 5 Year Recurring Deposit (RD), and this is my second last month of maturity of RD, so

Sir I deposit 12 months Rd in advance that is 24000 rs (2000 per month).what rebate will I get on this.
Seema-I already replied to your comment.
Hi .. i have a RD in post office which is about to mature after 5 years which is 8.40% interest rate (started RD in 2013). I am thinking of renewing the RD to another 3 years and as per the blog i believe the new interest rate will be applicable as per April 2018. Please confirm. Also, would you be able to suggest a better option to FD or any other option for a better rate of interest for the amount which is matured now. Lets say the amount is 300,000 (5000 * 60 months). would you tell me the better option where will the rate of interest is more and Reliable ?
Ram-Yes, the rate of interest at the time of renewal will be applicable. Hard to say better option with mere few lines of your sharing.
Thanks for the reply. I am just asking if I want to invest 300000 the matured amount what will be the better option other than post office for a better rate of Interest and reliable organization.
Ram-Define the meaning of BETTER rate and reliability.
what is maturity value. how does it work. there is interest as well.
Nishi- Refer above post.

Virag-Sadly YES.

Dear Rinsha,
It all depends on how they understand the severity. Hard to predict their mind and so-called their rigid rules.
Sir ibhave a query that in 2013 i opened rd with 5000 monthly deposit for 60 months and maturity is 2018 February. I deposited total 300000 for 60 months now when my rd is matured on February 2018 the total amount i am getting is 330083. How can it be possible. When i asked the post master regarding this they told that the system is showing this only. Please help me what i can do to get the right interest amount.
Harsh-Check whether you paid for all 5 years fully or not.
Sir i checked i have paid for full five years.
Harsh-Then it is completely wrong. Let them cross check.
Sir i contacted post master he told that your date of maturity was 04.02.2018 sunday and I closed my recurring deposit on 03.02.2018. So i got interest as per saving account 4% nearly. So he told to give a letter about all this. And then he will pass on to senior superintendent and will see what happens.. Sir will i get my additional interest. I closed on 3rd feb by mistake not knowing that one day preclosure will cost me this much..
Harsh-ONLY GOD CAN PROTECT POST OFFICE CUSTOMERS. Let us see what they say.

So, If I make my RD account in Jamshedpur…
I’ll be able to do deposits in any post office in Bhubaneswar…
Right…??
Nikhil-Yes if the branch is connected with core banking.
Thanx for simultaneous replies…
How do we know whether a post office is connected with core banking or not..?
Bcoz while fetching details of nearby post offices on the official website… There was a column for ‘Service’ and I couldn’t find ‘RD Account’ in it…
So will I have to physically go and ask to the concerned Post Office for this…?
Nikhil-They hardly update their portal. Hence, it is always best to go physically and confirm the same.
Thanxx for the Replies and clearing out my Doubts…
Thumbs up for the Information…!!
Hi,
When the RD amount matures after a 5 year tenure, the matured amount will be deposited to Post Office savings account? If so, can withdraw the amount next day itself?
Thanks in advance,
Jyothsna-YES for the both questions.
Dear Mr. Basavaraj jee .
I Opened Postal Recurring Deposit for Rs.3600 per annum for five years in Jan 2015 through agent.
The installments are paid before the due dates to the agent.the RD Pass Book is not updated by the agent instantly
soon after the payment is made.I doubt the integrity of the agent.
In this regard I seek your clarification whether any provision is there for online payment?. Is there any
means to verify the account status online. Kindly clarify.
Rao-I don’t think Post Office provides online facility. Hence, better to complain against agent or pay offline on your own.
Is it compulsory that the maturity proceeds of a matured RD is to be deposited in SB account with post office cant itbe credited to any SB account maintained with any bank.
If I do not have any savings bank account with post office then am i bound to open anew SB account with post office
Pl clarify
Yasaswee Vuppla
Yasawee-I think they will credit to the savings account managed in Post Office ONLY. Not sure, but check with them.
What is the procedure of payment after maturity of RD?
Narendra-They credit to your savings account of Post Office.

I opened RD in Kanykumari Post Office that RD is Matured.Now I am in chennai .I applied for transfer the RD March 12 2017.today date is 18 April 2017 still that RD is not transfer.how to track my RD postion or any complaint is required for that.please give me a nice advice
Sudhan-There is no online tracking tool. Hence, better you be in touch with Chennai branch.
but my Post Agent says that I will get the same interest rate on which date I have 0pened Rd Account and I Will get 8.50% again when I extend this Rd for another 5 years please clear my doubt
Nitesh-When you extend it then the prevailing interest will be applicable of that time.
Very Nice Information . Keep Up the good Work and all the best !!
Kranthi-Pleasure 🙂
Thanks for the reference.
Thanks for your quick response. Can you tell what is the present interest rate?

Bhuwalka-Refer this post “PPF, Sukanya Samriddhi, NSC, KVP Interest Rates Oct-Dec 2016“.
Dear sir,
I have a matured rd account in post office .I want to know how much time needed to withdraw the money from post office .Bcz my agent collected all the necessary documents from me and saying 1 month .Is it right .wt is the exact time and procedures for withdrawal.hope for the reply
Thanks
Dinesh
Dear Dinesh,
It should be immediately. Who will give the interest for that one month DELAY?
Dear Basavaraj
Your article ‘All about Post Office Recurring Deposit (RD) Account Scheme’ has been elaborated very clearly in detail but you forgot to write on ‘Interest Payable of RD’. Please clarify?
Thanks
RK Bhuwalka
Bhuwalka-I not forgot that. But I mentioned how the interest rate will change frequently (on quarterly basis). Hence, not mentioned the interest rate.
can I extend rd for another five years and will I get 8.40 % interest rate or new present interest
Nitesh-You can extend but rate of interest will be the rate applicable at the time of renewal.
you are correct.
I opened sukanya samridhi scheme and whenever I try to go for making my deposit they claim the server is down.
The person is on leave. They irritate us.
Government needs to take enough action so that our Central Government employees value customers.
We are not treated as valuable customers like a private bank.
Now I saw you post on transferring account to Banks this is very helpful to avoid wasting time in roaming around PO.
The pity point is this issue is in Chennai GPO they claim best serviced branch.
Prashanth-Thanks for sharing your views.
Dear Sir, I had withdrawn RS. 50000 from my RD account if I don’t deposit the above amount whether I get RD interest on remaining amount or not. Please suggest. Thanks.
Dear Rajinder,
Yes, you will get the interest on the remaining amount.
Hi sir I had a RD with post office and have paid only 3months installments and it’s still not withdrawn can I restart
means continue the same RD with same iinterest rate.
Dear Sneha,
Yes, you can.
Sir I opened a rd account but I cannot able to pay the amount further. Is there any way to close the account and get the money from the post office
Dear Raju,
Refer the above post properly.
Dear Raju, you can stop deposits in your RD account, but you can claim the balance alongwith savings interest only after completion of 3 years from the account opening date.
