SBI FD Vs KVP: Invest ₹5,00,000 for 10 years...where will you get how much profit? See the calculation

If you want to invest a lump sum amount for a long time in a place where you get maximum profit, then you have the option of bank FD, as well as some options of post office schemes. In the bank, you will get the option of FD for up to 10 years. At the same time, Kisan Vikas Patra in the post office is such a deposit scheme that can compete with 10-year FD. If you want to invest money for 10 years, then which option SBI FD or KVP will prove to be more profitable for you? See the calculation here for ₹5,00,000.

If you invest ₹5,00,000 in State Bank FD for 10 years, then you will be given 6.5 percent interest on a 10-year FD. At the rate of 6.5 percent, you will get Rs 4,52,779 as interest in 10 years. In this way, the maturity amount will be Rs 9,52,779.

Senior citizens are being given 1% more interest on 10-year FD in State Bank. That is, senior citizens are getting interest at the rate of 7.50%. In such a situation, they will get Rs 5,51,175 as interest in 10 years. At the same time, Rs 10,51,175 will be received on maturity. This amount is more than double.

In Kisan Vikas Patra, there is a guarantee of doubling the amount in 115 months i.e. 9 years, 7 months. Currently, KVP is getting 7.5% interest. In such a situation, if you invest money in it, then after 9 years and 7 months, you will get Rs 10,00,000 as the maturity amount.

If we talk about tax benefits, then FDs with a tenure of 5 years or more get tax benefits under 80C. In such a situation, you will get the benefit of 80C in SBI FD. But there is no tax benefit available in Post Office KVP.

If we look at the calculation of both, then if common people invest in SBI FD, they will get less benefit even after depositing the amount for 10 years, whereas in KVP they will get better interest and the amount will be guaranteed to double, that too in less than 10 years. However the elderly are being given interest at the rate of 7.5 percent in both SBI FD and KVP. In such a case, they can choose any option of their choice. In KVP, they will get Rs 10 lakh in 9 years and 7 months. If they can invest the money for the entire 10 years, then they can choose the SBI option. There they will get Rs 10,51,175 in 10 years. In such a case, there will be a benefit of more than Rs 51,000 in this compared to KVP.
