Post office FDs and tax-saving bank FDs qualify for tax-saving under Section 80C of the Income-Tax Act (ITA), 1961. The interest rate for FDs range anywhere between 6.90% and 7.50% per annum. The tenure for FDs is quite flexible and ranges from seven days to 10 years. The interest is paid out regularly or at maturity depending on an investor’s choice.  National Savings Certificate (NSC) is a government-backed scheme that promotes savings and investment. The interest rate for NSC is 6.8%, and the tenure is fixed at five years. Investors cannot withdraw the money before maturity. Investment in NSC qualifies for tax saving under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The interest is paid directly at maturity. Also, the interest accrued is reinvested every year for four years, and it qualifies for tax saving as well.  Investors get higher interest in NSC than in FD. However, if the investor wants regular income, then FD is a better option. However, if the investor wants to invest for higher returns, then NSC is a better option.
