On 18th Nov 2014, Government of India re-launched one of famous Postal Savings Scheme called Kisan Vikas Patra or KVP. It was mentioned in a Finance Minister’s budget speech also. So let us see its feature and feasibility.
How much you can invest?
There is no maximum limit specified. However, the minimum will be Rs.1, 000 and in denomination of Rs.1, 000, Rs.5, 000, Rs.10, 000 and Rs.50, 000. In addition, there is no limit in holding a number of certificates from an individual.
What is a period of Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)?
This certificate will mature after 8 Yrs and 4 months. Your money money will double after 8 Yrs and 4 months. Therefore, interest will be 8.67%, which is annually compounding. For Financial Year 2015-16 the interest on KVP remained unchanged i.e. 8.7%.
Who can invest in Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)?
As of now, only individuals allowed to invest in KVP. Therefore, this investment is not available for HUF, NRIs or companies.
What will be tax benefits for investing in Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)?
As of now, you will not get any tax benefit while investing. In addition, earned interest at the end of maturity will be taxable income (taxed according to one’s tax slab, exactly like Bank FDs or NSC). 10% TDS will be there at the time of maturity.
Types of Kisan Vikas Patras (KVP)
- Single holder certificate-This certificate will be issued to an adult for himself, on behalf of a minor, or to a minor.
- Joint “A” type certificate-This certificate will be issued jointly to two adults and payable to both adults jointly or to the survivor.
- Joint “B” type certificate-This certificate will be issued jointly to two adults and payable to either of the holders or to the survivor.
How to buy Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)?
A person desiring to purchase KVP must fill the Application Form A either in person or through agents to the Post Office or to Bank. Purchaser either can make the payment in cash or locally executed Cheque, DD, or Pay Order drawn in favour of the Post Master. In case you want to invest from the savings account, which is with the same post office or bank, then you need to submit duly signed withdrawal form or cheque together with passbook.
When you will get Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)?
If you purchased KVP by cash, then it will be issued immediately. However, in case you purchased through cheque, DD or pay order, then the issue date will be the realising date of these instruments. In case due to any other reason KVP not issued to you then the provisional receipt will be issued. However, the purchaser needs to exchange it while issuing of KVP certificate. In this case, issue date of KVP will be a provisional receipt issued date.
Is it possible to transfer from one post office or bank to another post office or bank?
Yes, one can transfer it to any post office or other bank without any hindrance. For this, you need to submit Application Form B. This application must be signed by the holder or holders. However, in case of joint holding a single holder signature is enough in case of another holder is dead.
Can we transfer Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) from one person to another?
You can easily transfer KVP from one person to another person by writing a consent letter to the Post Master of Bank. But do remember that no transfer shall be permitted in respect of Certificate held by or on behalf of a minor till the minor is alive. In all other cases, original holder must submit the KVP original certificate and the new certificate will be issued in the name of transferee.
In addition, one cannot pledge KVP easily unless the holder of the certificate is minor.
Whether can we nominate someone?
Single holder or joint holder of a certificate may nominate by filling Application Form C. You can nominate during the time of purchasing or at any point of time but before maturity. You can cancel or change the nomination by submitting the Application Form D. However, remember that for the first time nomination. But the subsequent nomination or cancellation shall be charged at Rs.20 per each change or cancellation.
Nomination facility not possible if the holder of certificate is held by or on behalf of the minor.
What if you not encash after maturity?
If you not encash the certificate even after the maturity period, then you will receive the post office savings interest rate which is applicable at that time on the whole amount payable to you on maturity. If you encash the certificate within one month from maturity, then no such interest will be payable.
What if you lost or destroyed certificate?
You can apply for a duplicate certificate if you lost it. But you need to submit an indemnity bond for the same along with identity slip. In case of mutilated or defaced certificate, you need to submit the original such defaced or mutilated certificate to get the original certificate.
Where to encash Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP)?
You can encash it in the same post office or bank where it is registered. In case of the different bank branch or post office then it may get delayed as the internal verification is required.
Whether one can encash it before maturity?
There is a lock in period of 2 Yrs and 6 months i.e. 30 months. After that, you can encash it before maturity. However, it may be liquidated even earlier too in case of below mentioned situations.
- Death of certificate holder or any of the holders.
- On forfeiture by a pledge being a Gazetted Government Officer.
- When ordered by a court of law.
Below is tabular representation of premature withdrawal table.
How the maturity amount is payable?
It will be directly credited to your savings account of post office or Bank. So at least while encashing the certificate at maturity one must have a savings account.
Is it the best product to invest?
- Nothing special when it comes to typical postal schemes.
- It offers the rate of interest of any typical fixed instrument.
- No tax benefit while investing or at maturity.
- Instead, if you opt for NSC or 5 Yr Tax saving FDs then your yield will be more.
- KVP will come with 2 yrs and 6 months of lock in. So you need to think about it before investing.
- No KYC or PAN means good for small investors but may be used for some unlawful activity. However, this time maturity will be credited to your postal savings account. So by doing this, Govt to certain extent protect such unlawful activities.

Sir,
I bought a Kisan Vikas Patra some years ago in demat form through ICICI bank. I did not use the account much and after some years the savings bank account was stopped and closed.
I want to ask is there any way to retrieve the KVP from that account? I dont even know the number since it was purely in demat form. The amount is small but I just want to know what are the possible steps.
Thank you.
Rohan-Check with the concerned branch of ICICI Bank.
Dear sir – my wife opened KVP as resident Indian many years ago that is maturing in coming year but she is now an NRI. Is she eligible to encash and if so what documents should be asked to provide ? Thanks in advance !
Jaggu-Yes, she is eligible to encash. Regarding process, please be in touch with concerned Post Office.
Sir,
My wife had purchased KVP jointly with her first husband and later she got divorced. The certificate is in her married name and it is due for maturity in next 3 months. Can she withdraw the money by submitting divorce certificate. All her ID proofs are in her maiden name.
Kaustubh-As the KVP is jointly held, she can’t withdraw it alone.
The money invested belongs to her and the certificate says either or survivor.
Kaustubh-Who is the first account holder?
My wife Aparna Bose
Kaustubh-In that case she can withdraw.
Sir

Aishwarya-You can withdraw it only after 2 years completion. Refer above post properly.
Hi Sir,
A relative of mine lost their original KVP. When we asked the post office people to solve the issue, they asked their superiors and told that, they can’t give a duplicate copy as this process is online now. Is there any solution to get the money? They don’t even had the xerox copy.
Ritu-They are horrible when it comes to service. Please interact with them and if they are so rigid, then let them give in writing.
Sir, my mother’s kvp matured on 16th September 2017, on 25th October 2017 my mother submitted her matured kvp and her postal savings account no. On concern forms on concern post office.

Whenever asking for delay, they told wait for some days, there is link failure.

Surpiyo-No need to wait further. You just sit in front of them as long as they transfer money else let them give in writing the reasons for delay and along with that the interest from Sept 2017 to till date.
Recently I heard that the Post Office will not provide cash / cheque of maturity amount to the KVP certificate holder. Compulsorily a savings account has to be opened in the PO that issued the KVP ? Can you please help here ? Is this true ?
Amol-Not sure and hence let them show such notification.

Can i encash kvp with Form 60 & Adhar ?
Thanks
Jaswinder-Yes PAN is mandatory. If not, then can submit Form 60.
Dear Sir,
My father had purchased some KVP’s in his name & nominated my sister’s daughter. He expired in November’ 2015. Now, as required when contacted the issuing Post Office to link the Aadhar Card with the KVP’s, it was informed that since my father has expired, the claim for the KVP’s by his nominee should have been submitted immediately after his death as the interest on the KVP’s purchased by him will not be paid from the date of his death.
Kindly guide whether the claim should be made immediately and loose the interest of two years (since the date of his death) OR the nominee will get the full maturity amount (along with interest) on the date of maturity of KVP’s purchased by my father.
Regards,

Malini-Whether it is matured? If not then wait till maturity. However, if you have urgency then you can opt for premature closure.
Hi,
My Grand mother has a KVP which is not yet matured, though the locking time 2 years 6 months is passed. So she can withdraw the KVP. Right now she is not well and she cant do the authentication signature. So what is the procedure to withdraw the KVP. She has a savving account at Post Office. Please help
Thanks,
Anjani
Anjani-Whether she can move?
Though she is unwell, she can walk little bit. So i can take her to the post office if required.
Anjani-Better first you visit post office, enquire them then finally take her for few minutes of just signing.
She can’t do signature that is a problem. Sub post master said that a medical certificate particularly issued from a government hospital needs to be submitted. But my grand mother is getting treatment from a private hospital.
She has more than 40 KVPs. I have enquired all this quires from the post office, they are saying they wont accept all KVP at once. The are asking to bring her everyday and submit 2 KVPs,So i have to take her 20 times to the post office. Due to her health issue that is quite impossible. Post offie official working time ends at 4 p.m but in my locality they closes the counter by 2 p.m. When i asked the reason behind it they said, we have lots of work and if you have aproblem , you can complain am many times as you want. They don’t care.Their behavior is very unprofessional.
When you ask any query to them the sub post master(head of the post office in my locality) is saying she doesn’t know all the rules , she will confirm the rules form head office and let you know later. Do we have any portal to raise a complain against all this? And does complaining against all this will be effective ?
Anjani-I can accept their claim of submitting the medical certificate from Govt doctor. You can consult a doctor and get it done. BUT I am strictly against 1942 old style of saying that she has to come daily to submit 2 KVPs only. You tell them strongly that to show the rule book or give it in writing that of whatever they are claiming.
If they have work, it is their problem but not your’s. Never bend and let them bend. There are here to serve you and for the same they are getting salary. I know their behavior and tone of talking. Hence, asking you to let them show rulebook or give them in writing then only YOU MOVE from that place.
They know the rules or not it is their issue. You go with medical certificate, sit infront of post office. Never move until all 40 KVPs processed. They really really need some heat treatment.
Thanks Basavaraj for the reply. I had a big fight with them regarding this matter. They are not accepting more then 2 KVP’s and and returning me the rest of them. Even i gave them a application to query the existing nominee details of 8 NSC’s 1 week ago. That information also they didn’t give me yet. Sub post master is saying check with the person who will search the old file and the person who does that is saying it will take a month at least. I am really very frustrated with their behavior and way of work.If, you know any portal or address where we can complain against this kind of service,kindly let me know.
Really appreciate your help.
Anjani-I know their 1942 kind of behavior. Refer this India Post Complaint Information. You can lodge the complaint online using this India Post Online Complaint portal. Also, refer my recent post on the same “India Post Help Centre and a Toll-Free Number 1924 features“.
Thanks a lot Basavaraj !! I will definitely raise complains regarding this. Thanks for quick reply. 🙂
Anjani-Pleasure and best of luck 🙂
Hi,
In how many year KVP amount claimed after maturity.
Maximum years ? 8,10,12
Please clarify this.
Navneet-It is immediately after the completion of period.
Sir,
If I have claimed KVP amount after the maturity , and after 10 years. (5 yrs kvp scheme+ 10 year late claimed)
So the amount has received or not.
Please suggest what can I do for claimed the Kvp amount.
Navneet-Yes, you will receive the amount. But post maturity, they pay you the interest rate of savings account but not of the KVP.
KVP is matured on 2015. I would like to encash it, but its issued to me and my wife. Can I redeem it by getting authorization letter from my wife? or is there any procedure I need to follow to redeem without her presence to Post Office.
Matha-If it is joint account, then both of you required.
Thanks for info. But she lives in US now. I will be visiting alone to India. Can I take authorization letter from her to release KVP maturity to both of our names, since Post office is issuing Cheque to us so that I can deposit Post office cheque in the Bank.
Matha-Yes as it is like bearers cheque. But for complete process, check with the concerned post office. Because I scare to say anything about Post Office procedures 🙂 They are totally still living in 1942 and act like British rulers on customers.
Thanks for ur quick suggestions. You are right even though we got independence from them still we follow British rules for our convenience 🙂
Sir,Seeking your help.My father purchased 5 KVP and Indra Vikas Patra in 1989.But he died in the same year.I was a toddler at that time.I am only having registration numbers and date of maturity with amount which is written in his diary.How can get to know the details ? whether the KVP is exist or not?
Madhu-Contact the concerned post office at first.
sir is there any way i can surrender my kvp i bought 5 months before and i’m in serious need of money as banks are not giving loans against it.
Sandeep-Now you can’t withdraw it. But after 30 months, you can withdraw it.
Hi, 6 months back I have purchased KVP in my maiden name from Post Office. Now I want to change my name after marriage in KVP.Is it possible and kindly tell the procedure also. One more thing after maturity whether they will deposit amount in my Post Office savings account or will they issue cheque in my favor.
Reena-Yes, you can change the name by providing the application for the same and some proof of marriage or any other documents which is showing as your name changed. KVP is like bearers cheque, they give you the cash.
Thank you
My kvp is mature it’s a joint certificate is it nessesary both have to be present or one person can collect and other one will sign the certificate.
Sandeep-Both must present.
I think presence of both is needed if it is Joint A. For joint B (either or survivor), presence of one should suffice. @ Basu – please confirm if this is correct.
SB-YES, you are right.
Thanks for your comment. In case of joint holding with Joint B type (either or survivor), can one holder give objection against another holder for encashment at maturity (if there is a dispute)? I understand that the joint holder who has possession of the certificate can encash at the time of maturity in case of Joint B (since KVP is more like a promissory note). Is this correct?
SB-YES, but in case of either or survivor option, as per me, first holder’s rights will prevail than the other survivor.
Hello, Good Morning. I am an US Citizen. (Overseas Citizen of India- status) Can my Parents in India, purchase KVP and transfer it to my name.
Thanks,
Gowri
Gowri-I am not sure transfer is allowed or not. However, if it is allowed too, then it must to an individual who is eligible to buy KVP. Hence, such option is impossible.
Basavaraj, Thank you.

Gauri-Visit the post office where it is issued and enquire.
Hi,
My maternal grandmother had a KVP issued in her name on 22/Jan /2005 from the Post office of Mathura(UP). My name was written on the top of the KVP. At the time of issuing the KVP, I was a minor. later my maternal grandmother expired and It was only last year that we got the KVP and found that it got matured after 8.5 years.
We are residing in Madhya Pradesh now . We have approached the the post office at mathura, along with the original KVP, the death certificate and the document proof of my age. But the staff at the post office says that in the meantime the records were computerised and so the record is not available with them now and that they are looking for it . It has been months now and they say the same thing. The main superintendent in the post office doesnt say anything as to how long is it going to take.
Please tell me what can i do in this issue.? how do i get this done. ?
What remedies do i have in this case.?
Noopur-Submit your all documents in written for amount withdrawal. Let them reply whatever it is be in written. They are just laziest guys on this earth.

Hi Basavaraj
My father purchased KVP when I was a minor. I’m a major now and they are due for maturity in 4 months but I won’t be living in India for the next 2 yrs. What is the procedure to authorize my father to encash on my behalf as soon as they mature?
Rahul-You can’t authorize him. However, KVP is a bearers instrument. But first try to change it to your name as you turned major.
I have purchased KVP from jhanjharpur R S Post office in Madhubani district(BIHAR) on23.11.2007 Now it gets matured on 23.06 2016 after 8 yrs 7 months and I want to encash the certificate from another post office/Bank in Delhi. These Certificates were issued in Physical form by the post office at the time of purchase. Travelling toDELHI TO JHANJHARPUR is not possible for me due to ill-health. Please suggest me how could I encash my KVP?
Moda-First you request for the transfer of documents to the post office where you want to withdraw at maturity. Once, transfer is over then you can withdraw from that new post office. However, if the concerned post office and the new post office are under CBS network, then you can encash from new post office. However, I suggest you to enquire the procedure with postal officials.
Keeping in view of Digital India, one can withdraw from that new post office/Bank , I want the procedure.If ,there is no such way then please suggest me how could I encash my KVP?
Moda-Digital India as of now fully not applied to Post Office.
I invest sum of Rs in KVP & it not more then 6 month so if i can want to break my KVP so how much charges deducted by the Post office
Sunil-You can withdraw it only after the completion of 30 months.
My father purchased KVP of Rs. 2,10,000/-. After his death we withdrew the KVP . My question is that the interest on this amount is either taxable or not. As it is invested by my father and credited into my account prematurely because of his death. As someone was saying that in case of death interest is not taxable. so please guide us under which rule it is not taxable . If no how can i pay tax on it.
Ravindra-It is taxable in your father’s head.
sir my father brought kvp of 10,000 in my name but unfortunately i lost my certificate.I haven’t got any identity slip at that time,then how can i got a duplicate one ?
Sumeet-Try your luck with post office.
SIR ,
My father bought the kvp of 3,50,000/- in my & my mother name but we lost that certificate i want to know to withdraw that amount that is compulsory that authorized person required
Pooja-The investment is in you and your mother’s name (I hope jointly). So, both must be there to withdraw.
I have few kvp in joint name but first holder is dead what I have to do
Khaitan-Then you have to inform post office about the death of first holder with death certificate. They will change the name.
Sir, I will have around 15,00,000/- Rs available to be invested .. I am interested in Post office schemes .. Will you recommend NSCs or KVPs..
Divya-What is your expectation from this investment?
Sir, tell me how to fill death claim to kvp if it has nomianated to person who is alive.
Anuj-You have to go to the post office with death certificate of holder and nominee KYC papers.
We talk a lot about investments and securing our family’s future by buying insurance policies, term insurances etc.etc. But in case of untimely death of both husband and wife, how is a minor child’s financial future secured when a child has no clue of the investments made by the parents and things remain unclaimed. Who takes responsibility ? Pls throw some light as to how a child’s future is to be made financially secure?
Mimi-In case of untimely death of both parents, then it is legal guardian of kid who will come into picture. It is sad state of kid. But we can’t predict future.
Hello Sir,
We have a KVP it’s matured and a cheque has been issued . The KVP certificate was issued in a wrong name which we didn’t notice therefore the cheque issued by the PO is also in the wrong name . Now, the PO is not willing to re=issue the cheque . What can be done about it?
Esha-They are like that ONLY. Better you write them letter to re-issue with correct by providing proper KYC proofs. Let them answer to it than oral answer.
Thx 4 spreading awareness n helping people.

They can contact us when time period for KVP will be completed??? Or ever i’ll be able to get that money or that is losted??we got KVP from the Agent and he is also refusing from helping us. M super confused and dont know what to do please give me suggestion..!!
Dhaval-It is hard then, because KVP is like your blank cheque. Whoever found it may encash it. Try to request with the post office.
Sir,
The article is very informative. Thank you. I have a query. My father had invested in KVP in 2007 in the joint name with my mother as ‘either or survivor’. He sadly passed away before the maturity of such KVP and now my mother has received the whole amount. Now, I want to know whether the whole amount of interest needs to be declared in my mother’s IT return or how? the interest has not been declared before. My father passed away in Mar 2015. KVP matured in July 2015.
Please provide your valuable guidance Sir.
Thank you.
Ganesh-Yes, it is your mother’s income but not father’s.

Sai-Yes, you can buy it.
The details provided here was very helpful. Please send me a table citing the amount I will get back on premature encashment the old 8 years 7 months KVP>
Birendranath-Why you need old KVP details?
What is the process to premature kvp after 5years. In jont name group B where ist name is my mother who is seriously ill neither write or speak 2nd name is mine.should it premature only by my signature?? Doctors certificate regarding my mother’s health condition is provided to the post master. Still they asking for both signature for premature. Please reply.
Iswar-It is complicated case. I think if your mother is not able to write or speak and you produce the doctor certificate then it will be possible. But still insist you to contact post officials.
Suppose I buy five KVP certificates, each rs 10000. After 100 months I encash..So I should get 100000. Now how 10% TDS will deduced? What should I show them apart from KVP certificates? Will they ask my PAN card, Bank passbook, income tax return, etc? Or just they reduced 10% and I get rs 90000 (i.e. 10*100000/100=10000; so 100000-10000=90000). Or 10*50000/100=5000; so I get 100000-5000=rs 95000. Which is correct..?
thanks
Raj-It is not yet clear about TDS. Let us wait. If TDS is there, then they ask for PAN.
Basu,
I checked with Post Office HO. They mentioned no TDS at maturity. PAN will be needed as part of KYC irrespective of amount.
Can anyone more confirm this?
Reason being, everytime you call different Post Office the information changes 😉
Thanks
Abhijit-There is no TDS and as they said, PAN is required for KYC.
Would not this scheme yield somewhat higher returns than 8.5% FDs for people falling in 30% tax slab? Because it looks like tax on interest needs to be paid only on maturity for this scheme unlike yearly taxation on interest from FDs?
Jalakrut-True and your understanding is correct.
