Frequently Asked Questions — NSC Calculator
What is National Savings Certificate (NSC)?
NSC is a fixed-income post office savings scheme with a 5-year tenure. It offers 7.7% interest (current rate) compounded half-yearly but paid at maturity. There is no upper limit on investment, and interest accrued annually qualifies for Section 80C deduction.
Is NSC interest taxable?
Yes, NSC interest is taxable as per your income tax slab. However, the interest is automatically reinvested each year and qualifies for Section 80C deduction (as deemed investment) for years 1-4. Only year-5 interest does not qualify for 80C.
Can I withdraw NSC before 5 years?
Generally no — NSC cannot be prematurely redeemed. Exceptions include: death of the holder, court order, or forfeiture by a pledgee (bank). NSC can be transferred between post offices and used as loan collateral.
