Investors can transfer their Public Provident Fund (PPF), Sukanya Samriddhi Account (SSA) and Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS) accounts from a Post Office to a bank without closing the existing account, reports Livemint. The process requires submitting a prescribed application and passbook at the post office, along with a transfer fee of Rs 100 plus GST. The post office and receiving bank then coordinate to complete the switch. Current interest rates are 7.1% for PPF, 8.2% for SCSS and 8.2% for Sukanya Samriddhi, subject to periodic revision. Investors considering a transfer should check with their bank for any extra documents needed. India Post Payments Bank also offers digital services for managing accounts without moving them.
