SDP Plan

Financial institutions across the country offer a host of investment opportunities for their customers to generate significant returns. Notably, such investment plans are more likely to require substantial capital. Moreover, their performance and returns are based on various market factors.

SDP plans are offering young investors a risk-averse and assured avenue for savings. Through this savings tool, individuals can earn guaranteed returns. So it can be said that systematic deposit plans offer the same benefits of a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) but without its obvious market risks.

The systematic deposit plan enables customers to start their savings with just Rs.5,000 every month. Here, every deposit is treated as a separate fixed deposit, and it earns interest according to the prevailing interest rate. Unlike regular fixed deposits, where the entire amount matures at a specified time, and the interest is generated on the lump sum; here every deposit has its own rate of interest, and it generate the additional income on each deposit.
