National Savings Certificate

If you want to invest at zero risk then you should invest in post office. If you want to invest in a safe and government scheme, then you can invest in the National Savings Certificate. This is a safe investment because it is part of the small savings scheme of the post office and the Prime Minister of the country himself invests in it.

Invest like this?

The National Savings Certificate has a minimum lock-in period of five years. This means that you will be able to withdraw it only after five years of investment. There are three ways one can invest in NSC.

  • Single Type NSC – In this type you can invest for yourself or for a minor.
  • Joint A Type – This type of certificate can be taken by any two people together i.e. two people can invest together
  • Joint B Type: Two people invest in it, but on maturity, money is given to only one investor.

    How much can you invest?

    This post office scheme currently has an interest rate of 6.8%. You can invest a minimum of Rs 1,000 in this scheme and invest money in multiples of 100. However, there is no maximum limit for investment in this.
