Investing your hard-earned money wisely is crucial. When it comes to investing, there are several options available in the market.
Investors usually select investment options based on their desired risk and return.
However, the Post Office Saving Scheme, backed by the Central Government, has always been a popular choice for guaranteed and secure returns.
One such scheme is the Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) scheme, which doubles your investment amount within a fixed period.
KVP ensures your investment amount doubles
Starting from April 1st in the financial year 2023-24, the government has increased the interest rate of the Post Office Small Savings Scheme.
Specifically, the interest rate on Kisan Vikas Patra has been raised from 7.2% to 7.5% annually.
