  2. When I checked with my nearest post office, they pretty much redirected me to a few agents. I was surprised to see that being a Govt organization, they are running syndicate of the agency. what should be the best way to avoid these agents and invest in PO products?

  3. Sir,
    Can you please clarify that for RD, whether the interest rate is fixed for the 5 year period based on start of RD or it also keeps varying every quarter like PPF? And Post office RD is compounded quarterly right? So, will it be a good product for people looking for a 5 year horizon (currently in 10% tax bracket and may be in 20/30% tax bracket after five years)?
    Thank you for your posts.

    1. Dear Nivesh,
      It is as per the prevailing interest rate at the time of opening RD. Such quarterly changes will not affect to RD. Whether RD is good or not depends on many factors. I can’t suggest BLINDLY.
