Govt keeps interest rates on small savings schemes unchanged for Q3 FY22

01 Oct 2021 Evaluate
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and elevated level of inflation, the government has kept the interest rates on small savings schemes, including NSC and PPF, unchanged for the third quarter of 2021-22. Public Provident Fund (PPF) and National Savings Certificate (NSC) will continue to carry an annual interest rate of 7.1 per cent and 6.8 per cent, respectively.

The finance ministry said ‘The rates of interest on various small savings schemes for the third quarter of the financial year 2021-22 starting from October 1, 2021, and ending on December 31, 2021, shall remain unchanged from the current rates applicable for the second quarter (June 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021) for FY 2021-22’. 

Uttar Pradesh is the second highest contributor to the small savings schemes after West Bengal. During the West Bengal assembly elections earlier this year, the Centre decided to reduce the interest rate on these schemes. However, the very next day on April 1, the finance ministry revoked the steep interest rate cut of up to 1.1 per cent, citing an oversight.
