Know what you have to do
Post Office FDs are also of different tenures (1,2,3 and 5 years). The interest rate is also different according to the tenure. To more than double your money, you have to choose a 5-year FD. Currently, 7.5 percent interest is being given on this FD. To double the amount, you have to invest in this scheme and extend it before it matures.

In this way, the total amount will be Rs 7,24,974. But if you extend this scheme for 5 years once, then you will get Rs 5,51,175 only as interest and after 10 years you will get a total of Rs 10,51,175. In this way, you can get more than 10 lakhs by investing only 5 lakhs.
