The Indian government has decided to keep interest rates on various small savings schemes unchanged for the January-March 2026 quarter, marking the seventh consecutive quarter without revisions. Schemes like the Public Provident Fund (PPF), Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA), and National Savings Certificate (NSC) will retain their current rates. The PPF will continue to offer 7.1%, SSA and Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) 8.2%, and NSC 7.7%. This decision provides stability for savers despite potential shifts in broader financial market rates.
