Talking about withdrawal, if you withdraw money within 1-3 years, the amount will be returned to you after deducting 2% interest. At the same time, if you want to withdraw money after 3 years, then the money will be returned to you after deducting 1% of the deposit amount.
You will get this much interest on investment of Rs 5 lakh
Suppose if you invest ₹ 5,00,000 in this scheme. In 5 years you will get interest at the rate of 7.4% per annum. In this case, you will get Rs 3,084 from interest every month. At the same time, your total interest will be Rs 1,85,000.
This means that if you invest Rs 5 lakh for 5 years, you will get only interest of Rs 1,85,000 on POMIS account maturity. At the same time, more than Rs 3,000 will continue to come into the account every month.
