Dear Experts,
is post office time deposit and Post Office RD are same?
can we get 80C exemption on Post office RD?
if yes then what is the minimum RD period required ?
is it applicable in F.Y 2013-14 ?
Thanks & Regards

RD is different from Time deposit and RD is not eligible for 80C exemption

Time deposit account can be opened for 1 year, 2 year,3 year or 5 year But when it is opened for 5 ears it qualifies for 80C deduction . Min. deposit is Rs.200. Premature closure is allowed. Whereas RD can be opened with a nominal amount of Rs.10.No deduction under 80C and premature closure is allowed after 3 years

RD can be on monthly, quarterly basis whereas Time deposit is a lumpsum payment kept for the period it is opened eg. 1/2/3/5 years.But it qualifies for 80C deduction only when it is opened for 5 years.
