Post Office Schemes: As the holiday season approaches, we consider presenting gifts to our loved ones on special events like Dhanteras and Diwali in hopes of improving their future. The best gift they can provide might be to invest for their financial future. You can invest this Dhanteras or Diwali in one of the several investment plans that the Post Office offers. Let us tell you about these plans.
Recurring Deposit
For people searching for five years of assured profits, the Post Office Recurring Deposit Account is a secure choice. A minimum of Rs 100 or any amount in multiples of Rs 10 can be invested in this plan each month. The five-year post office RD will now get 6.7 percent annual interest from October 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, as opposed to 6.5 percent.

A maximum of Rs 1.50 lakh can be deposited in PPF per year. This account will mature in fifteen years. You can extend it for an additional five years after maturity. The PPF scheme offers an annual interest rate of 7.1 percent. if you keep a 15-year PPF account with monthly deposits of Rs. 12,500. Thus, upon maturity, you will receive a total of Rs 40.68 lakh. You will invest a total of Rs 22.50 lakh in this, and you will receive interest of Rs 18.18 lakh. The interest rate determined by these computations was 7.1% annually for a period of 15 years. If the interest rate fluctuates when the money matures, it can alter.

Investments in this scheme may be made for a period of two years, ending in March 2025. A Rs 2 lakh investment may be made under this initiative in the names of women or girls. An annual fixed interest rate of 7.5 percent is offered in this. After a year from the date of account opening, forty percent of the funds are withdrawable. When your Mahila Samman Savings Certificate matures, you will receive Rs 2.32 lakh if you invest Rs 2 lakh for two years. It functions exactly like FD.
