The Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS) is one of the most popular risk-free postal savings programs where an investor can invest with a minimum deposit of ??1000. Investors from middle and low income groups may also consider this Post Office MIS as a tax saving option, as they are eligible for income tax exemption under Article 80C of the Income Tax Act on their investment in this system. It has a 5 year lock-up period and the interest rate of the Post Office Monthly Income Scheme will remain unchanged throughout the investment period. This means that the return of the Post’s Monthly Income Program is guaranteed and that an investor would get a return on their money in accordance with the interest rate of the Post’s Monthly Income Program at the time of investment.

Interest is payable at the end of one month from the opening date and so on until maturity and an investor must claim it. According to the India Post website, “If the interest payable each month is not claimed by the account holder, such interest will not earn any additional interest.” Interest on the Post Office Monthly Income Scheme is taxable in the hands of the depositor.

2]Deposits: According to the India Post website, Post Office MIS account can be opened with a minimum of ??1000 and in multiples of ??100. A maximum of ??4.50 lakh can be deposited in a single account and 9 lakh in a joint account. In a common account, all joint owners have an equal share in the investment.

Interest will be paid until the previous month, in which the repayment is made.

6]Early closure of the account: No deposit will be withdrawn before the expiration of one year from the date of deposit.
