Senior Citizen Saving Scheme is a scheme run for the elderly, in which their money remains safe and they are given good interest by the government.
By working hard throughout his life, any person accumulates a retirement fund for himself, so that when his body is no longer capable of working hard, then the retirement fund can become his support. But it is also necessary to invest this retirement fund somewhere, so that it gets the benefit of interest and the amount keeps increasing. Senior Citizen Saving Scheme (SCSS) has been created especially for such people.
