This bank has recently increased the interest on FD for senior citizens, which has made senior citizens happy. Let us know how much interest is being received
New Delhi : Budget 2023 has proved to be a hit among senior citizens. The reason being that under the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS), the maximum investible amount has been increased from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 30 lakh. The investment limit for Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS) for single holder account has also been raised to Rs 9 lakh, from Rs 4.5 lakh earlier.
POMIS scheme is popular among senior citizens because of its monthly income payment option, but non-senior citizens also like to invest. Apart from this, the Finance Minister also launched another scheme called Mahila Samman Savings Certificate (MSSC) for women of all ages. There is already a scheme for senior citizens – Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY). However, senior citizens should invest a part of their savings in FDs which provide security and ensure periodic interest income.
Smaller and newer private banks are now offering rates of up to 8.35 per cent on three-year FDs for senior citizens.
