That's why most of us like to invest in this fund.

The interest rate on PPF has now been cut to 8.7 per cent from 8.8 percent with effect from 1 April, 2013, while the rate on five-year NSC has been cut to 8.5 percent from 8.6 percent, and that on 10-year NSC to 8.8 percent from 8.9 percent. The finance ministry, which cut the rates, has however left the savings deposit rate and the one-year time deposit rate unchanged. The savings deposit rate has been left unchanged at 4 percent and the one-year term deposit too stays at 8.2 per cent.
