    • Aadhaar + PAN
    • Photo + address proof
  4. Deposit karo (min Rs 1,000, max Rs 9 lakh single) - cheque/cash

Post Office MIS vs SCSS vs FD

Scheme Interest Payout Best For
Post Office MIS 7.4% Monthly Regular monthly income (any age)
SCSS 8.2% Quarterly 60+ senior citizens
Bank FD ~7% Monthly/cumulative Flexible tenure

Regular monthly income chahiye + age 60 se kam = MIS best. 60+ ho to SCSS (zyada interest 8.2%, quarterly). Dono mila ke bhi use kar sakte ho.


Scam Warning

  • "MIS me 12% return / double income" wale agents - FRAUD. Interest sirf 7.4% (govt-declared).
  • Account sirf post office me khulta hai - kisi private agent ko cash mat do.
  • Fake "post office scheme" links/calls - sirf India Post official.
