Post Office Scheme: If you want to keep your money completely safe and at the same time want to see it grow rapidly, then Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) can be a great option for you. This Government of India-backed scheme not only ensures the safety of your investment, but also promises to double your money with a fixed interest rate.For example, if you invest Rs 10 lakh in this scheme, then in about 115 months (ie 9 years 7 months) this amount will become Rs 20 lakh. Let us understand the complete information of this scheme and its mathematics in detail.How does your money double?The biggest feature of Kisan Vikas Patra is its compounding interest. This means that the interest you get every year gets added to your principal, and the next year's interest is available on this increased amount.Understand with an example:
- Suppose, you invested Rs 10,00,000.
- At the end of the first year, you will get interest of Rs 75,000 at an interest rate of 7.5%.
- This interest will be added to your principal, i.e. now your investment will become Rs 10,75,000.
- Next year interest will be received on this Rs 10,75,000, and this process will continue continuously.
- In this way, in 115 months (9 years 7 months) your investment will double to Rs 20,00,000.
