These fixed income options provide the safety you need: Fixed Deposit, Public Provident Fund, and more
Bank Fixed Deposits (FDs) are one of the most popular investment options, especially for seniors. They offer fixed returns based on the interest rate set by banks, which can vary. Bank deposits are insured by the government up to ₹5 lakh, adding a layer of security. Recurring deposits (RDs) are another bank-led scheme. In RDs, investors deposit a fixed amount on a schedule, earning a higher interest rate than regular savings accounts. This scheme helps build a savings habit and ensures returns, as it’s not linked to market fluctuations. RDs also allow small investments, making them accessible to many savers. The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a government-backed long-term savings scheme. With an interest rate of 7.1%, it has a maturity period of 15 years, which can be extended. Contributions to a PPF account are eligible for tax deductions, making it a favoured option for retirement. The Post Office National Savings Monthly Income Account (POMIS) provides regular monthly income. It requires a minimum investment and offers an interest rate of 7.4%. POMIS is suitable for those seeking a reliable income stream while ensuring capital safety. RBI Floating Rate Savings Bonds have a maturity of seven years and offer an interest rate of 8.05%. Investors can start with a minimum investment of ₹1,000, with no maximum limit. This bond is available through the RBI’s Retail Direct portal for individual investors. National Savings Certificates (NSCs) are secure savings instruments issued by the government for capital safety. They currently offer a 7.7% interest rate and qualify for tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. NSCs have a fixed maturity period, providing predictable returns.
