interest rate for the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) this year & has also now allowed senior citizens to deposit up to _______ per person for a period of 5 years.Solution
The Government of India hiked the deposit limit and interest rate for the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) this year. For the July-September quarter, the SCSS scheme is offering 8.2% interest, which is likely to remain unchanged in the October-December quarter of FY 2023-24. The scheme now also allows senior citizens to deposit up to Rs 30 lakh per person for a period of 5 years. This tenure can be extended for another 3 years. The enhanced deposit limit means a senior citizen couple (husband+wife) can have separate SCSS accounts in their names and deposit Rs 30 each in both accounts.
