ESG
In today's fast-paced world, it can be difficult to stay disciplined and consistently save a portion of our earnings every month. Our expenses seem to increase along with our incomes, leaving little room for savings. However, having an emergency fund and regular savings is essential for financial security. Automating your savings is one way to ensure you save funds every month.
With busy schedules, it is quite possible to miss out on setting aside funds every month, which is where automation can enforce discipline and help achieve long-term financial goals. This article will explore some of the best ways in which Indians can automate and effortlessly grow their savings through systematic approaches.
Setting up recurring bank transfers
Most Indian banks like Metra Trust allow you to set up standing instructions online through their internet or mobile banking portals. You can select the amount, date, and frequency of transfer for seamless monthly savings. For example, transfer Rs. 10,000 on the 5th of every month to your savings account.
The easiest way to automate savings is by setting up recurring transfers from your salary or current account to your savings account every month. This ensures a portion of your earnings is deducted automatically and put into a separate savings vehicle before you get a chance to spend it.
Saving through recurring deposits (RD)
Recurring deposits (RD) are one of the most popular systematic savings tools in India. They allow you to deposit a fixed amount at regular intervals, usually on a monthly basis, for a predefined tenure (6 months to 10 years). Post Office RD and bank RD accounts offer guaranteed returns without market risk.
Like recurring bank transfers, you can automate RD payments through ECS/NACH debit from your current/salary account. Choose the RD amount, frequency of debit, and tenure best suited for your savings goal. For instance, deposit Rs. 5,000 every month for 5 years through RD to accumulate funds for a down payment on a house.
Saving through online savings account and balance transfer
Major banks offer Online savings account that you can open instantly from anywhere with just your PAN and Aadhaar number. You can start automated transfers to systematically save a percentage of your earnings in this dedicated online savings account instantly.
For instance, automate a 10% transfer of your monthly salary to the online savings account. You can also automate balance transfers from your current/salary account to online savings on a particular date every month.
Conclusion
Adopting the practice of automating modest monthly savings through systematic tools has proven benefits. It gives financial discipline by removing control and temptation from people's hands each month. Automation guarantees that you save consistently towards important long-term goals without breaking the chain. Linking automated transfers to your salary account, different savings instruments, or digital platforms makes the process of saving effective. Modern digital architecture powered by UPI, NEFT, and recurring bank transfer features has made automating savings highly convenient without any paper trail hassles.
