If you want to open a personal account in this scheme, you can invest a minimum of Rs.1000 to a maximum of Rs.4.5 lakhs. A maximum of Rs 9 lakh can be deposited in a joint account.

Apart from this, the scheme will be very beneficial for retired employees and senior citizens. The plan gives you an annual interest of 6.6 per cent. Under this scheme, the return will be calculated according to the annual interest on your total deposit.
