Post office savings schemes latest interest rates: The government has decided to maintain the current interest rates for small savings schemes for the July-September 2024 quarter. This means that the rates will remain the same as those notified for the first quarter of FY 2024-25.
The schemes affected by this decision include Mahila Samman Savings Certificate, Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS), Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS), Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate (NSC) and Post Office Time Deposits (POTD).
“The rates of interest on various Small Savings Schemes for the second quarter of FY 2024-25 starting from July, 2024 and ending on 30′ September, 2024 shall remain unchanged from those notified for the first quarter (1St April, 2024 to 30th June, 2024) of FY 2024-25,” the finance ministry said in a press release dated June 28, 2024.

Consequently, the Public Provident Fund (PPF) will maintain its interest rate of 7.1% for the period from July to September 2024.
According to an ET report, the interest rates for small savings schemes are reviewed by the government on a quarterly basis, following the methodology proposed by the Shyamala Gopinath Committee.
According to the committee’s recommendations, the interest rates for various schemes should be set between 25 to 100 basis points higher than the yields of government bonds with corresponding maturities. This strategy is intended to keep the interest rates of small savings schemes competitive and appealing to investors.
In the December 31, 2023 quarter, the government increased the interest rates for certain small savings or post office schemes. However, with the exception of the recurring deposit rate, the interest rates for all other schemes have remained unchanged. Notably, the PPF interest rate has stayed at 7.1 percent since the April-June 2020 quarter.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has implemented a series of significant interest rate hikes since May 2022. Consequently, banks have followed suit by increasing the interest rates on fixed deposits (FD), which is a positive development for FD investors who have experienced a prolonged period of low interest rates. However, the RBI has maintained the status quo by refraining from further adjusting the key rates in the last five policy meetings.
