Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PPF interest rate for FY 2025-26?
The PPF interest rate is 7.1% per annum, set by the government and reviewed quarterly. PPF is fully tax-free (EEE): contributions qualify under 80C, and both the interest and maturity are tax-exempt. Use the PPF calculator to project your maturity value.
Which is better for retirement, EPF or NPS?
Both are strong. EPF gives a fixed, government-set return (currently around 8.25%) and is low-risk, while NPS is market-linked with equity exposure and potentially higher long-term returns, plus an extra 50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B). Many people use both. The PF vs NPS calculator compares them.
What is the Sukanya Samriddhi interest rate?
Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana pays 8.2% per annum for FY 2025-26, among the highest of the small-savings schemes, and is fully tax-free. It can be opened for a girl child under 10 and matures after 21 years. Use the SSY calculator or maturity planner.
Is NPS a good investment?
NPS is a low-cost, market-linked retirement product with equity exposure you choose, and it offers a unique extra tax deduction of 50,000 under Section 80CCD(1B), over and above 80C. Its main limitation is the lock-in until retirement and partial compulsory annuitisation. The NPS calculator projects your corpus and pension.
Are Post Office schemes safe?
Yes. Post Office savings schemes are backed by the Government of India, making them among the safest places to save. They suit conservative savers and goals needing capital protection, though returns are modest compared with equity. Explore the Post Office FD, MIS, NSC and KVP calculators here.
