Change in interest rates of PPF and other small savings schemes

Finance ministry has announced revised interest rates on public provident fund, national savings certificates and other small savings schemes.  These interest rates shall be applicable for financial year 2013-2014.  As we had noted earlier, interest rates of such schemes are now linked to market yields on government securities of comparable maturities and shall be revised every financial year.

Overall there has been a reduction in interest rates by 10 basis points (100 basis points is 1 percentage point) for all savings schemes except for saving deposits on which interest rates continues to be 4% and 1 year time deposits (8.2%).  Interest rates on PPF from April 2013 shall be 8.7% p.a. as against 8.8% p.a. earlier.

The table below summarizes the changes in interest rates:

    When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in
    Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to
    give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

  9. I've been browsing on-line more than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's
    pretty worth sufficient for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the net might
    be a lot more helpful than ever before.

  12. Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
