Overview – How to become millionaire / Crorepathi by investing in a bank recurring deposits

Is it easy to become millionaire / Crorepathi without taking risk in investment? No investment in stock markets or in mutual funds, but can we attain this goal by investing in bank recurring deposits? Yes it is possible. Once you start investing on regular monthly basis for longer term in bank recurring deposits, your money grows faster. You would have heard about compound interest.

If you invest Rs 100 at 8% interest, for one year, your money would be Rs 108. In Second year, you earn interest of 8% on Rs 108 and not on Rs 100. This is called compound interest.

Your investment amount + interest would get re-invested each year (or Quarter) for longer term thereby benefitting through Compounding.

  1. Hi im 27 years old male i want to invest Rs 4,000 per month to earn a good return after 5 years.

    I have started investing Rs 10,000 montly from 19/08/2014 on Recurring Deposit of SBI for 1 year at 9% . I don't have any insurance policies at present. Should i stop the stop the RD and start investing in something else ?

    1. Kashyap, Don’t stop RD. You should first consider term insurance for risk coverage. Then any surpluls funds, keep investing in mutual funds thru SIP

  2. hello this is rajeev .
    àctually wat is meant by recurring deposit . does banks offers rd’s for 5 years and is there any risk factor in this? can i withdraw my money in emergency.

  3. Hi Rajesh,

    It is really very useful. I used to have lot of RD for Short term and i use to close that if any need arise also. After reading this article i just calculated the long term benefits, and it is amazing. I should not close any RD going forward and it yeilds good return. Thanks for sharing with us.

    1. Dear Suresh,

      Your calculation is really good. But  what about inflation…. the thief which slowly eats up your saving and when you factor in inflation, the actual numbers can take your breath away.

  4. Hi Suresh,

    Banks offer only 10 year RD Scheme.Then how can i opt for a monthly investment of 28,000 for period of 15 yrs/16,000 for a period of 20 yrs to become a Crorepathi?

     

  5. Dear Suresh,

I want to work here only more 5 years , i want to know how much amount i have to invest and where to invest to get minimum of 50 lacs in 5 years currently i have an bank FD for INR 5 lac which will mature on next year + 5000 RD with bank opened in 2011 & 1000 SIP in SBI Magnum Tax Gain investing from 2010.

          

     

     

    1. Prem, For NRI’s good way to invest is bank FD where interest is not taxable. Other options is to look for mutual funds. consider diversfiied funds and large cap funds for next 5 to 8 years investment. Check my articles about top mutual funds.
