This is how you will get interest of ₹ 12,30,000

As we told you, you can deposit a maximum of Rs 30,00,000 in this scheme. If you invest this amount in this scheme, then in 5 years you will get an interest of Rs 12,30,000 at the rate of 8.2%. Every quarter ₹61,500 will be credited as interest. In this way, after 5 years you will get a total of ₹42,30,000 as maturity amount.

On the other hand, if you deposit Rs 15 lakh in this scheme for 5 years, then according to the current interest rate of 8.2 percent, you will get ₹6,15,000 only as interest in 5 years. If you calculate the interest on a quarterly basis, then you will get ₹30,750 interest every three months. In this way, by adding Rs 15,00,000 and interest amount of Rs 6,15,000, a total of Rs 21,15,000 will be received as maturity amount.

Who can invest?

Any person whose age is 60 years or more can invest. On the other hand, civil sector government employees taking VRS and people retiring from defense are given relaxation in age limit with some conditions. The scheme matures after 5 years. If you want to continue the benefits of this scheme even after 5 years, then after the deposit amount matures, you can extend the account period for three years. It can be extended within 1 year of maturity. Interest is received on the extended account at the rate applicable on the date of maturity. Tax exemption benefit is available in SCSS under section 80C.
