Post Office Scheme: If you are thinking of investing at this time and you are unable to find the right investment option, then today we have come up with a great investment plan for you. This scheme is the Public Provident Fund (PPF) scheme of the post office.
This post office scheme helps a lot in creating a huge fund over a long period. The special thing about this scheme is that the investment in it is completely safe. The money invested in PPF is not invested in the stock market, due to which it is completely safe. The PPF scheme is getting 7.1 percent interest annually.
You can open a Public Provident Fund (PPF) account at any post office or bank branch. This account can be opened for just Rs.500. You can deposit up to Rs 1.50 lakh annually in PPF. The maturity period of this account is 15 years. But after maturity, you can extend it for 5-5 years.
If you deposit Rs 12,500 every month in PPF account and maintain it for 15 years. So you will get a total of Rs 40.68 lakh on maturity. Your total investment in this will be Rs 22.50 lakh, while the interest income will be Rs 18.18 lakh. These calculations yielded an interest rate of 7.1 percent per annum for 15 years. If the interest rate changes, the money at maturity can change.
If you want to become a millionaire from this scheme then you have to extend twice for 5 years after 15 years. That means now your investment period will be 25 years. In this way after 25 years your total money will be Rs 1.03 crore. If your total investment during this period is Rs 37.50 lakh, then you will get Rs 65.58 lakh as interest income.
