Kisan Vikas Patra offers a 7.5% annual interest rate for the July to September 2026 quarter, with investments doubling in 115 months, or nine years and seven months, Livemint reports. The rate applies to accounts opened under the current notified terms. Investors can start with Rs 1,000 and make further deposits in multiples of Rs 100, with no maximum limit. Accounts are available through post offices and authorised banks. Premature closure is allowed after two years and six months, subject to scheme rules. KVP may suit conservative savers who can lock away money for the long term, but the rate, tax treatment and other conditions should be checked before investing.
