Post Office Scheme: If you’re retired or still want to secure a fixed monthly income, the Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS) is the best option for you. This scheme not only offers a guaranteed interest rate of 7.4% per annum, but also ensures complete security for your funds.

The good news is that the government hasn’t changed its interest rates for the October-December quarter of the current financial year, meaning you’ll continue to receive an excellent 7.4% return. By investing just once in this scheme, you can earn a fixed monthly income for the next five years.
