‘HDFC Systematic Savings Plan’ [HDFC SSP], a first-of-its-kind deposit product

HDFC Ltd. India’s premier housing finance company, is introducing ‘HDFC Systematic Savings Plan’ [HDFC SSP], a first-of-its-kind deposit product, which offers a variable rate of interest. It is a monthly savings plan, where one can deposit a fixed sum every month to accumulate a larger capital for future needs. This plan will be available February 3, 2010 onwards to all resident individuals in select Indian cities where ECS facility is available.

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.
