One such scheme that India Post offers is the National Saving Certificate (NSC). You can get more interest than Fixed Deposit (FD) rates at many banks. The post office’s NSC scheme is currently offering a 6.8% interest rate. Keep in mind that the money you invest in the NSC will continue to add interest annually, but you will be paid on maturity at the same time.

The maturity period of the NSC plan is 5 years. You can increase your investment for another 5 years after maturity if you wish. You will have to invest at least Rs 100 in NSC – which is the cheapest NSC. However, there is no maximum investment limit.
