The government has kept interest rates unchanged on all small savings schemes for the July-September 2026 quarter (Q2 FY27), extending the status quo for the ninth consecutive quarter. The decision means investors in schemes such as the PPF, SCSS and SSY will continue to earn the existing rates.
“The rates of interest on various Small Savings Schemes for the second quarter of FY 2026-27 starting from 1st July, 2026 and ending on 30th September, 2026 shall remain unchanged from those notified for the first quarter (1st April, 2026 to 30th June, 2026) of FY 2026-27,” the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
