Business Desk. In today’s time, no one wants to invest their money where they can get more returns. As far as banks are concerned, interest rates in fixed deposit (FD) schemes have come down considerably, whereas non-bank financial companies are not able to trust people. Private sector banks are also not paying much interest. In such a situation, there are some schemes of the post office, which are getting a lot of interest. This is the reason that the trend of people is now moving towards the deposit schemes of the post office. The special thing with the post office is that the money deposited here can never be drowned, because on this the central government gives Sovereign Guarantee. Today we are going to tell you about such a scheme of the post office, which not only gets good interest on the investment, but also saves tax.
