How to calculate small savings interest?
The government checks the interest rates of small savings schemes every three months. These interest rates are fixed based on the Shyamala Gopinath Committee report. The interest rate of small savings schemes is linked to the yield offered by 10-year government bonds. In its report submitted in 2011, the committee said that the interest rates of small savings schemes should be linked to market fluctuations.
Investing only in gold, small savings schemes or real estate has some disadvantages. Mutual funds are ideal for diversifying investments. Interest on small savings schemes will not increase your investment when inflation is high. Instead subtracts the value. Thus mutual fund is helpful.
