India to Announce Small Savings Interest Rates for October-December 2026 Quarter
The Indian government is set to announce interest rates for small savings schemes, including the Public Provident Fund (PPF), Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS), and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), for the October-December 2026 quarter. Rates have remained unchanged for nine consecutive quarters, with PPF at 7.1%. The decision will consider factors like government bond yields, inflation, and a prescribed formula linking rates to securities. Experts suggest rates may stay steady or see a marginal increase based on recent bond yield movements.
