PO savings scheme rate fixed
New Delhi, Jan 4, PTI:
The government today said interest rates on post office savings schemes, except the PPF, will remain fixed throughout the term of the scheme. It clarified that interest rate for such small savings will be declared on April 1 every year and will remain valid till the maturity of the scheme.
However, in case of Public Provident Fund (PPF), which is a 15-year scheme, interest rates would not remain fixed for the entire period. The annual interest accruals in the PPF account will depend upon the rate for that particular year.
