What is the agent commission for NSC and does it get deducted from our deposit or paid by post office separately.
Also considering NSC has better rates than KVP , does KVP has any benefits over NSC?
Dear Sanjeev,
I am not sure about agent’s commission. However, I am sure that it is not deducted from your side. It will be compensated by Post Office. Regarding which is best between NSC and KVP, it purely depends on your financial goal. Hence, hard for me to suggest anything blindly.
