Latest Post Office Small Saving Schemes Interest rates July-Sept 2019
Just to quickly recap, last quarter, there was no change in interest rates of all schemes.
However, this time, the Government reduced the interest of all Post Office Small Saving Schemes Interest Rates (except savings account interest rate, which was retained at 4%) for the period of July to September for 10 basis points. It is all due to the falling interest rate in Bank FDs and also due to RBI reduced the interest rate in its recent monetary policy.

Below is the interest rate trend for last one year.
You notice that after a long gap, even though the current interest rate reduced to 10 basis points, but in the last one year, the period of July-Sept 2018 was the lowest. After that, it is a steady up and down but not so drastic fall like 2nd quarter 2018.

Informative article.
Need your guidance in following. Is MIS scheme of Post office safe? I have invested 15 lakhs in DHFL (FD), looks like I will lose the amount. What can I do to recover? Investing in FDs , even banks is terrifying for me now. I have 5 lakhs in PNBHFL, thinking of taking it out. I need interest on a monthly basis for household expenses. Can I put this amount in MIS or Liquid mutual fund ?
