NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode from 1st July 2016

July 12, 2016by Basavaraj Tonagatti

Holding NSC and KVP in physical mode is the biggest concern for all of us. To avoid such difficulties, the Government launched NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode effective from 1st July, 2016. Let us see the features.

NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode

We all fond of investing in NSC and KVP of post office schemes. However, the hardest part is to hold the physical certificate until maturity. Either we misplace it or loses it completely.

Hence, to avoid such difficulties Government launched the NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode. From now onward whoever invest in the NSC or KVP must have them only in these two modes. The issue of physical certificate was discontinued.

Let us see the features of these two options.

NSC and KVP in e-mode

  • You have to opt for this option only if you have a savings account with the Bank/Post Office.
  • You have to apply for internet banking.
  • Once internet banking is facilitied, then you can view all your holding exactly like online Bank FDs or RDs.
  • There will not be any seriel number from now onward. There will be only Account/Registration numbers.
  • Minimum of Rs.1,000 and Rs.100 NSC and KVP be issued in e-mode and passbook mode, respectively (and in multiples of Rs.1,000 and Rs.100 respectively).
  • All non CBS Branches of Post Offices will issue only Passbook mode of NSC and KVP.

NSC and KVP in Passbook mode

This facility is provided to those customers who not ready to go for the e – mod. Banks or Post Offices will print the transaction which shown in their account and issue a passbook. Exactly like Bank Passbook.

If you lost the passbook, then you can request for duplicate passbook by paying the prescribed fee by the Post Office and Banks.

Some features of NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode

  • It is purely your right to choose either e-mode or Passbook mode. Otherwise, you can opt for both modes.
  • Once you opt for Passbook mode, then you can switch to e-mode at any point of time. For this, you have to hand over the passbook.
  • In case you already have pre-printed NSC and KVP (which you already invested), but lost means you can opt for this passbook mode.

How to pledge NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode?

You can only pledge the NSC and KVP held in Passbook mode. You can pledge it anywhere in India. When you request for a pledge the NSC and KVP, then your bank will send the information to concerned Post Office or Bank (where it was issued). After verifying the authenticity of investment, it will be locked by the issued Post Office or Bank Branch. The same process will continue at the time of releasing the pledge.

Once NSC or KVP is pledged, then you can’t apply for transfer from one Post Office/Bank to another Post Office/Bank. However, if NSC or KVP not pledged, then the transfer will continue as per old rules. There will not be any changes to it.

How to transfer NSC and KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode?

Here, transfer means from one person to another person. You have to apply for transfer in concerned Post Office or Bank. If the first holder having passbook mode, then he has to surrender the passbook. The new passbook will be issued to the new holder.

Banks allowed to issue KVP in e-mode and Passbook mode

  1. Andhra Bank
  2. Axis Bank
  3. Bank of Baroda
  4. Bank of India
  5. Canara Bank
  6. Central Bank of India
  7. Corporation Bank

  21. State Bank of Travancore
  22. Syndicate Bank
  23. UCO Bank

This list is only for issuing of KVP certificate in e-mode and Passbook mode. However, there is no clarity about NSC. Also, as of now there is no clarify of how the Post Office and Banks will set up the system. Let us wait for more clarification.

    Hi,
    Have Banks started offering purchase of NSC online? I am not able to see any bank offering purchase online yet, but just want to confirm from you.

    Is KVP a good option to invest in terms of returns? Why does it say amount will be doubled yet specify interest rate? If i deposit 10000/- I will get back 20000/-, so whats the use of interest rate?

      Dear Sahana,
      Money doubles but WHEN is the point you have to consider. As and when there is a change in the interest rate of KVP, there is a fluctuation in the way money doubles also.

    Checked with ICICI and SBI. They don’t seem to provide support for investing in NSC online. So, is visiting the post office only option to invest in NSC still?

      We’ve invested in KCPs. & NSCs. now I’ve a concern with unstable GOI policies about safety of my investment I have to be prepared to take away my money to a USA & live safe life there as there is uncertainity in India that frauds made by Mallya, Nirav Modi,LAMO etc. can get incured by hard earn money from public funds. As in banana republics countries frauds are made by rich people & are incured from the public funds. Said by O’Henry he gave this world a great term Banana republics means those countries where farming is principle occupation of people & scams are done by rich & are paid by public funds of poor public. Please tell me is it safe to withdraw money from PO.
