The Indian government has kept Public Provident Fund (PPF) and National Savings Certificate (NSC) interest rates unchanged for Q2 of FY 2025. While other schemes saw minor tweaks, these two popular small-savings instruments remained steady.
What Are the Current Rates?
PPF: 7.1% (compounded annually)
NSC: 7.7% (compounded annually, payable at maturity)
These rates have remained the same since the past few quarters, offering predictability to conservative investors.
Why Were Rates Left Unchanged?
Inflation Management
Despite a relatively stable CPI, the government is maintaining caution to keep inflation in check.
Global Market Volatility
With international interest rates fluctuating, India’s small savings stability sends a strong message of fiscal prudence.
Encouraging Long-Term Saving
The unchanged rates help small savers plan long-term goals—like retirement or children’s education—without the stress of fluctuating returns.
What This Means for You
If you’re a risk-averse saver, this consistency is good news. But if you're looking to diversify your investments or want higher liquidity, it might be time to explore additional financial tools—especially if you have short-term financial needs.
