PPF stays 7.1% | Sukanya increased to 8.0% | SCSS increased to 8.2%

The government has increased the interest rates for many small scheme savings interest rates for the quarter of April-June 2023.

Here are the changes made –

  • PPF interest rates – No Change (remains at 7.1%) – Possible reason – Why PPF rates not increased?
  • Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana rates – Increased by 0.4% (now at 8.0%)
  • Senior Citizen Savings Scheme or SCSS – Increased by 0.2% (now at 8.2%)
  • National Savings Certificate or NSC – Increased by 0.7% (now at 7.70%)
  • Monthly Income Scheme or MIS – Increased by 0.3% (not at 7.4%)

Here is the full notification for the changes in interest rates (via this link):

You check the historical interest rates for a few of these using the following links – PPF Interest Rate History and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Interest Rate history

Note – Since the interest rates of RBI FLoating Rate Savings Bonds 2020 (Taxable) are pegged to NSC interest rates, the above hike in NSC rates by 0.70% will also lead to an increase in RBI FLoating Rate bonds by a similar amount. The RBI Floating Bond rates are always 0.35% above NSC rates. So with NSC rates now at 7.7%, then assuming they remain at the same level, the RBI Floating Rate bond rates will also increase to 8.05% per annum during the next review in June 2023.

  2. Since PPF is social security for crores of private sector employees, Its interest rate should be equal to or more than any Government schemes.

  3. what is the new limit for monthly income scheme of post office for single account for general public ie below 60 years age.

  4. Government wheather concern or not on Social Security Scheme for small saving Invester of the Society which constitute major component of population of this country. Why not PPF interest rate raise since long ?
