It's an estimate — actual maturity depends on the official RD rates and scheme terms.

What is the current Post Office RD interest rate?

Tap to view the answer

The rate is notified quarterly by the Government of India (6.7% per annum, compounded quarterly, as of Q2 FY 2026-27). Use the rate shown above, and confirm the latest rate at your post office before starting your RD.

Is Post Office RD interest taxable?

Tap to view the answer

Yes. Interest is taxable each year as per your income tax slab. No TDS is deducted by India Post, so you must declare the interest income in your ITR.

What happens if I miss a Post Office RD instalment?

Tap to view the answer

Missing instalments can result in penalties and may reduce the final maturity value, and repeated misses can require account regularisation. Keep a buffer balance and track due dates to protect your returns.

Can I close Post Office RD early?

Tap to view the answer

Premature closure is allowed after 6 months, subject to a penalty-adjusted payout (typically a lower, savings-account-equivalent rate) as per current scheme rules. Confirm the exact penalty terms at your post office before opening the account.
