Announcing the launch of the HDFC Systematic Savings Plan, Mr. V.S. Rangan, Executive Director, HDFC Ltd. said, “HDFC has always been quick to recognize the market pulse and set higher benchmarks of service delivery through introduction of pioneering products and services. HDFC SSP is a disciplined approach to wealth creation. It allows the investor to adopt a systematic and dedicated approach to financial planning by inculcating a regular savings habit according to his convenience and ability. We have developed this unique installment plan keeping in mind the safety and growth requirements of especially the younger working individuals. For investors looking at earning assured returns over a 2-5 year horizon, SSP will surely emerge as an attractive investment avenue.”
HDFC Systematic Savings Plan offers medium to long-term installment options, where the depositor can choose any period between 24 and 60 months and monthly installment amount can range from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 50,000. Being a variable interest rate plan, the rate of interest applicable is linked to the benchmark rate, reset at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The current interest rates for this plan with effect from February 3, 2010 are 7% p.a., 7.25% p.a. and 7.75% p.a. for 24-35 months, 36-59 months and 60 months respectively.
The key-differentiating factor of HDFC SSP is that it offers depositors a secure and steady way to grow their savings. HDFC SSP is also safe from the volatility of the capital market and the variable interest rate offering ensures that the depositor gets the benefit of higher rate when interest rates increases. The ECS (debit clearing) facility makes investing in HDFC SSP convenient for all.
