Results can vary based on company policy, lender terms, tax law, and personal assumptions.

Formula used

SCSS interest is estimated as deposit × annual rate, with one-fourth shown as the quarterly payout. Because SCSS interest is paid out quarterly, the calculator does not compound unpaid interest into maturity value.

Example calculation

A ₹15 lakh deposit at 8.2% produces estimated interest of ₹30,750 per quarter and ₹1,23,000 per year.

The displayed default is a previously checked assumption. Check the official rate for the quarter you need before using this projection.
