Non-static spherically symmetric spacetimes with perfect fluid matter are considered and their homothetic Ricci collineations (HRCs) are investigated for degenerate as well as non-degenerate Ricci tensor. The present analysis shows that, for non-degenerate Ricci tensor, the possible number of HRCs admitted by these spacetimes is 5, 6 or 7, while they possess 4, 11 or otherwise infinite number of HRCs when the Ricci tensor is degenerate.
