How it works

The Post Office Time Deposit (TD) is a Govt-backed fixed deposit operated by India Post and offered for 1, 2, 3 or 5-year tenures with quarterly compounding.

Example

Example: Example: ₹1,00,000 in a 1-year Time Deposit at 6.9%. A = 1,00,000 × (1 + 0.069/4)^(4×1) A = 1,00,000 × (1.01725)^4 A ≈ ₹1,07,081. Interest earned ≈ ₹7,081.
