  1. Hi Suresh
    I am 26 years old and just started to research about investing for good returns in the future. Your articles are really informative. Thanks a lot for posting such useful information.
    I have an account in ICICI and came across a Flexible recurring deposit plan.
    http://www.icicibank.com/Personal-Banking/account-deposit/iwish/iwish_compare.page?
    I think it is the same as the Variable Recurring deposit plan you mentioned in another article.
    The plan looks good and I am interested to invest in it.
    However, I did not understand a line mentioned in their benefits section.

    Tax Free: No Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) either on interest or on principal

    Please let me know if you have any advice regarding this plan.

    1. Generally for all recurring deposits (RD), banks would not deduct TDS. The same applies here in this. However you need to pay income tax based on your income tax slab even though banks are not deducting tax

  2. As you said if I invest 16,000 for 20 years I’ll get a crore rupee in my saving account rite so at that time they will deduct anything in the name of tax.
