SBI Sarvottam Scheme: The largest public sector bank in the India, State Bank of India (SBI), offers two alluring fixed deposit schemes to its customers: Amrit Kalash and Sarvottam. The Sarvottam Scheme, which is specifically intended for seniors and offers higher interest rates along with a number of advantages, stands out among them.
Attractive Interest Rates for Senior Citizens
With a higher interest rate of 7.90%, the SBI Sarvottam Scheme is particularly made to meet the demands of senior citizens. Even though this strategy offers a large return, participants must abide by certain regulations. Its non-callable nature, which prohibits early withdrawal without penalty, is one of its main regulations.
Higher Returns Compared to Other Savings Options
Compared to other traditional savings choices like the Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate (NSC), and post office savings schemes, the interest rates offered by the Sarvottam Scheme are more appealing. Because of this, it’s a great option for anyone who want to accumulate a sizable investment over a period of time.
Flexible Investment Terms
The SBI Sarvottam Scheme’s flexibility with regard to investment period is one of its main benefits. Investors might receive a faster return on their investment with the scheme’s periods of one year and two years. The general public receives an interest rate of 7.4% for a two-year deposit, while elderly persons earn a higher rate of 7.90%. The rates for the general public are 7.10% and for senior persons are 7.60% for a one-year investment.
Special Rates for Bulk Deposits
The yearly interest on a one-year Sarvottam deposit for senior citizens investing between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 2 crore is 7.82%, while the yield on a two-year deposit is 8.14%. The interest rates are somewhat lower for bulk deposits between Rs 2 crore and Rs 5 crore, at 7.77% for a year and 7.61% for two years. Compound interest is an additional benefit under this scheme, enhancing the returns.
Ideal for Retirees
Retired individuals who have received provident funds or other retirement benefits are especially suited for the SBI Sarvottam Scheme. With the opportunity to contribute up to Rs 2 crore, the minimum commitment is Rs 15 lakh. Above Rs 2 crore investments are also allowed; however, there is a 0.05% interest rate reduction.
