I need advice
by Rishabh Thomas on Feb 21, 2008 08:32 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hi, I'm relatively young and do not possess enough knowledge on recurring deposits. I have a savings account in an SBT bank, do I need to create a new account to indulge in recurring deposits or can I use my savings bank account for that purpose? Please advice...

Dear a bank can give u a maximum of 10 % pa by way of FD or Recurring Deposit. Since u r young, and cantake a bit of risk my advise is to go for mutual funds as these can easily give u a return of around 25 % annually in for a period of atleast 3 yrs. if you don't have a lumsum money choose a mode of SIP.

Yes you need a recurring deposit account seperately. But you may give standing instructions to your banker to debit the recurring deposit amount from the existing savings account and credit the same in your recurring account.

You can use ur savings a/c for recurring deposit. Just ask ur bank and they will allocate amount(as planned by you) to recurring deposit every month. You can also opt for fixed deposit as interest rate is higher in this case than recurring deposits.
