RD Vs FD: If you are planning to invest, then you have many types of investment options in the post office. Here we will tell you about RD and FD of post office. Although you get both these options in banks also, but in post office you are getting very good interest on both RD and FD.
At present you are getting interest at the rate of 6.7 percent on Post Office RD. The advantage of RD is that if you cannot invest a large amount in lump sum, then you can invest a fixed amount every month by choosing the option of Post Office RD.
Post office RD is for 5 years. In such a situation, you can earn profit at 6.7 percent interest after 5 years. But if you can deposit a lump sum amount, then post office FD will be a profitable deal for you. In this, you will get so much interest even on 1 year investment, which will not be available even on 5 year RD.
