Kindly refer to SB Order No. 05/2024 dated 21-08-2024 conveying guidelines related to regularization of accounts opened in deviation of Rules stipulated under National Small Savings Schemes. In connection with the above guidelines, the following clarifications have been issued by Department of Economic Affairs, MoF vide OM No. 14/1/2018-NS- Part (1) dated 30.09.2024:
(a). All accounts opened under NSS 87 and NSS 92 will earn zero rate of interest, w.e.f. 01.10.2024.
(b). Minor with guardianship can continue to hold PPF account or open a new account and will get prevailing PPF scheme interest rates (currently at 7.1 % per annum).
