The four schemes that we are going to talk about are run by the Indian Postal Department only, and investment can be made for these by visiting any post office or bank branch.
Public Provident Fund (PPF)
We have already told about this scheme in great detail (read here), and a maximum of Rs 1,50,000 can be invested in it every year. Under this scheme, the person who opens the account has to be patient for at least 15 years, because before that the account does not mature. By the way, if you have less amount to invest in any year, then this account can be kept running even with an investment of only Rs.500. This account currently pays interest at the rate of 7.1 percent, and the most interesting aspect of this scheme is that the entire amount (principal (investment) and interest) received at the time of maturity is absolutely tax free.
National Savings Certificate (NSC)
Not many people talk about this scheme, but it is a good scheme in the sense that one has to invest in it, and after just five years the same amount is returned with 7% compound interest. Interest is calculated every year, but is paid only at maturity. But one interesting aspect is that you can show the accrued interest on your NSC every year as your new investment. However, a minimum investment of Rs 1,000 can be made in this scheme, while there is no limit on the maximum investment.
Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)
Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) is a scheme similar to the National Savings Certificate (NSC), on which the government currently pays 7.2 percent interest, and the investment made in it matures only when it doubles. At present, according to the current interest rate and rules, the investment made in KVP gets doubled in exactly 10 years, ie 120 months. The minimum investment limit in KVP is also Rs 1,000, and there is no limit on the maximum investment.
Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSA)
At present, the maximum interest is being given in Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana in the schemes run by the Government of India, but only those people whose daughter’s age is less than 10 years can open this account. The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana has already been explained in great detail on this website, which you can read here Are. This account can be opened in the name of maximum two daughters, but if there are twin daughters in the second time, then three accounts can also be opened. Under this scheme, a minimum of Rs 250 and a maximum of Rs 1,50,000 can be invested every year, and this account will mature when its term of 21 years is over, although you have to invest only for 15 years.
The investment made in these four schemes is exempted under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, with a maximum limit of Rs 1,50,000, so keep in mind, if you have invested Rs 1, Even if you invest more than Rs.50,000, then you will be given exemption on income tax only on Rs.1,50,000.
