Interest

Currently, the Post Office provides 7.4 per cent returns on this scheme. Through a joint account, you can earn Rs 9,250 every month. You can deposit money in this scheme for a maximum of five years.

How to earn Rs 1,11,000 yearly

If you deposit Rs 15 lakh in a joint account, you will get a guaranteed income of Rs 1,11,000 in a year at 7.4 per cent interest, and in 5 years you will earn Rs 1,11,000 x 5 = Rs 5,55,000 from interest. If the annual interest income of Rs 1,11,000 is divided into 12 parts, it will come to Rs 9,250. That means every month you will have an income of Rs 9,250.

Single account returns

If you open a single account in the Post Office Monthly Income Scheme and deposit Rs 9 lakh in it, then you can get Rs 66,600 as interest in one year, and in five years, the interest amount will be Rs 66,600 x 5 = Rs 3,33,000. In this way, you can earn Rs 66,600/12 = Rs 5,550 per month only from interest.
