What is the National Saving Certificate (NSC)?

National Savings Certificate NSC scheme is a fixed income scheme. It is one of the popular savings instruments in India. One can activate this scheme at any Post Office. NSC scheme is the Government of India initiative.

Hence it guarantees returns. This savings bond encourages small and mid-income investors to save. Additionally, they can also get a tax benefit. NSC investments up to Rs 1.5 lakhs is exempt from tax under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. They come with a lock in period of 5 years. NSC certificates earn fixed interests. The current rate of interest is 6.8%. Like other fixed-income products PPF and Post Office FDs, NSC is also a secure and low-risk instrument. The minimum deposit is Rs 100. There is no maximum limit for investment in NSC. There is no TDS for NSC investments.



How does NSC Calculator work?

Interest for National Saving Certificate NSC is compounded half-yearly. The interest is payable to the investor at the end of the five years. The interest earned every year is reinvested. Let's take the example of Mr. Ashish. He wishes to invest INR 5,00,000 in an NSC at the current interest rate. Using NSC Interest calculator, we can calculate the maturity amount and the interest earned by him. We can follow the simple steps to calculate the maturity amount earned by Mr. Ashish.

Enter the amount of investment. In this case, it is ₹ 5,00,000

The term is already fixed at five years. This is because the NSC matures in 5 years.

The interest is fixed at 6.8 %. This is the current interest rate announced by the Ministry of Finance as of April 1st, 2020.

Once the values are entered, the NSC Interest Rate calculator calculates the maturity amount. It also calculates the investment made and interest earned.

In this case, the maturity value is ₹ 6,98,514.45.
The investment is ₹ 5,00,000.
The interest earned is ₹ 1,98,514.45.

Mr. Ashish's investment of ₹ 5,00,000 in NSC will earn an interest of ₹ 1,98,514.45 at the end of 5 years. The interest earned is taxable at the slab rate, Mr. Ashish falls.
