The government has not changed the interest rates of small savings schemes for July-September (Q2FY26). That is, you will continue to get the same interest as before. If you want to arrange a monthly income for yourself after retirement or before, then the National Savings Monthly Income Account of the post office will be correct.
This scheme is currently getting 7.4% annual interest. Through this, you can arrange an income of Rs 9,250 every month for yourself. This scheme has to invest 5 years. We are telling you about this scheme …
First of all know what is the post office monthly income scheme? Post Office Monthly Income Account is a small savings scheme supported by the Government of India, which is made for those who want a certain income every month while keeping their money safe. This scheme is beneficial for retired people, the elderly or those who want to avoid risk and are looking for a source of regular income. It can be called a type of term deposit.
9,250 rupees will be available every month The annual interest in this scheme is distributed in 12 months and you get that amount every month. If you do not withdraw monthly money, then it will be in your post office savings account. However, you will not get interest on this interest. Interest will be paid only on the amount of principal.
Suppose you invest 9 lakh rupees in this scheme, now you will get an interest of 66 thousand 600 rupees annually according to 7.4% annual interest. On the other hand, if you invest 15 lakhs under a joint account in it, then you will get an annual interest of 1 lakh 11 thousand rupees. If you distribute it equally in 12 months, you will get Rs 9,250 every month. If you do not withdraw returns, then interest is also available on it.
Note: This calculation is estimated. The government reviews the interest received on small savings schemes every 3 months.
The money deposited after 5 years will get back Its maturity period is 5 years. That is, when the scheme is completed, you will get your entire deposit capital back. However, if you want, you can maintain this money again by investing this money in this scheme.
