This scheme is government-backed, ensuring the safety of your deposits. The current interest rate on Post Office RD is 6.7% per annum, updated every three months. Investments in this scheme can start with a minimum of ₹100, and there’s no maximum limit, meaning you can invest as much as you can afford.
Who can open an account?
Any Indian citizen can open a Post Office RD account. The account can be opened by a single individual or by three adults as a joint account. Additionally, a guardian can open an account in the name of a minor, and children over the age of 10 can also open their own RD accounts.
