What is the Post Office RD scheme?

The Post Office RD is a government savings scheme that allows you to deposit a fixed amount every month. If you prefer saving gradually rather than investing a large lump sum all at once, this scheme could prove to be highly beneficial for you.

The tenure of the RD is 5 years, or 60 months.
You can start investing with a minimum of ₹100 per month.
There is no upper limit on the investment amount.
Interest is compounded on a quarterly basis.
Returns are based on the interest rate determined by the government.

How much will you get by depositing ₹8,000 per month?

If you open a Post Office RD account in your wife's name and deposit ₹8,000 every month, your investment over 5 years would look like this: Monthly investment: ₹8,000
Total tenure: 5 years
Total deposited amount: ₹4,80,000

Upon maturity, including the accrued interest, this amount could rise to approximately ₹5.70 lakh. You could earn interest ranging from ₹80,000 to ₹90,000.

Money grows through compounding

In a Post Office RD, interest is credited every three months. This means you earn interest not only on the deposited amount but also on the interest already earned. That is why, if you invest regularly over a long period, even small contributions can build a substantial fund.
