Government to Review Small Savings Scheme Interest Rates on September 30, 2026
The government will review interest rates for small savings schemes like the Public Provident Fund (PPF), Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), and Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) on September 30, 2026, for the October-December quarter. These rates are linked to yields on government securities of similar tenure, which have risen slightly since the last review on June 30. Experts suggest the rates may either remain unchanged or see a marginal increase based on recent bond yield movements. The last quarterly review maintained existing rates.
