About this tool

Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) is a Post Office savings certificate that DOUBLES your money in a fixed tenure — currently 115 months (9 years, 7 months) at 7.5% p.a. Rate is set quarterly by the Ministry of Finance; when the rate changes, the tenure changes (KVP always matures at exactly 2× principal). Guaranteed by Government of India, backed by full sovereign credit. NO Section 80C benefit and interest is fully taxable at your slab rate. Best suited for conservative long-term goals where guaranteed doubling matters more than tax-efficiency.

Frequently asked

At current 7.5% rate (Q3 FY 2025-26): 115 months = 9 years 7 months. When RBI revises the rate, tenure changes accordingly (higher rate = shorter tenure). Once you buy, rate + tenure are LOCKED for your certificate.
