National Savings Certificate (NSC)
This article is an introduction to National Savings Certificates (NSCs), and describes its features.
| National Savings Certificate (NSC) is a fixed interest, long term instrument for investment. NSCs are issued by the Department of Post, Government of India. Since they are backed by the Government of India, NSCs are a virtually risk free avenue of investment. They can be bought from authorized post offices. |
(Want to know about saving income tax? Please read "Saving Income Tax – Understanding Section 80C Deductions")
NSCs have a maturity of 6 years. They offer a rate of return of 8% per annum. This interest is calculated every six months, and is merged with the principal. That is, the interest is reinvested, and is paid along with the principal at the time of maturity. For every Rs. 100 invested, you receive Rs. 160.10 at maturity.
NSCs qualify for investment under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act (IT Act). Even the interest earned every year qualifies under Sec 80C. This means that investments in NSCs and the interest earned on it every year, upto Rs. 1 Lakh, are deductible from the income of the investor. There is no tax deducted at source (TDS).
Following is the interest earned each year on Rs. 1,000 invested in NSC:
Interest Chart
| Year | Rate of Interest |
| 1 | Rs. 81.60 |
| 2 | Rs. 88.30 |
| 3 | Rs. 95.50 |
| 4 | Rs. 103.30 |
| 5 | Rs. 111.70 |
| 6 | Rs. 120.80 |
NSCs are issued in the denominations of Rs. 100, Rs.500, Rs.1000, Rs.5,000 and Rs.10,000. The minimum investment needed is Rs. 100. There is no upper limit on investment.
Here are the features of NSCs in a nutshell:
- Fixed interest, long term, virtually risk free avenue for investment
- Available at authorized post offices
- Maturity: 6 years
- Rate of return: 8% per annum, compounded semi-anually
- Qualifies for investment under Section 80C of the IT Act

Re: Tax Gains on NSC TRansfer
Hi Jitendra,
1. As per the chart, the interest per Rs. 1000 invested in the first year is Rs. 81.6. So, since you have invested Rs. 65,000, the interest earned by you would be Rs. 5,304.
This interest would be added to your income of the year, and is fully taxable.
But - and this is interesting - this amount is treated as being "reinvested' in NSC. This means that you can claim this amount as deduction under section 80C.
2. There should be no tax on the transfer of the NSCs. After the transfer, your friend would earn the interest.
3. The NSCs would retain their original duration and maturity date.

Lost NSC - how to get a duplicate?
Hello Raag,
I invested in NSC scheme & it will mature next month. However, I have lost my original certificate & am not able to locate it; I do have a photocopy of the document.
I have to come to know that now I need to register a FIR, get an indemnity bond with an application addressed to the issuing post office.
My querry is that:
1. I am not clear which indemnity bond form is required in my case?
2. Is there any other document required which I am missing?
3. What may be the reissue fee & how much time this may take?
4. Any other useful tip to get this resolved ASAP.
I would highly appreciate your advise on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Basant Agrawal

Re: Lost NSC - how to get a duplicate?
Hello Basant,
Your information is correct. Here is the process.
When the certificate is lost but you have the details (certificate number, date of issue, etc), you need to go to your nearest police station and file an FIR containing the details of your certificates.
Take a copy of the FIR and go to a notary public to get an idemnity bond. I do not have much information about this bond, but the notary would be able to help you with it. The cost of the stamp paper would be in the range of Rs. 100.
Take the FIR copy and the indemnity bond to the post office where the NSC was issued. There, you need to fill up form NC 29.
(You can download form NC 29 here - you need to be logged in)
Submit all the three documents to the post office, and you would be issued a duplicate NSC.
(Please retain photocopies of all these documents for your record)

NSC Question???
Hi,
I have taken a loan from a person against my NSC certificates as security deposit with him.
Is there a possibilty of any unknown person claiming on my NSC certficates and get it encashed from any local post office without my knowledge?
Can post office officials just pay to anyone holding NSC certificates other than the actual person or the nominee???
Thanks for your help in advance...

Re: NSC Question???
Hi Vishal,
I do not believe NSCs can be encashed without the signature of the person who has bought the certificates.

Place of ecashment
I bought some NSC from the Delhi Post Office. Now it is matured. But I am residing currently in Bangalore. Can I ecash it in any post office in Bangalore or I had to go to Delhi?
Re: Place of ecashment
Hi Bikash,
You can get these NSCs encashed at any post office.
As per the guidelines, the encashment is done on the same day at the original post office, whereas it can take upto 30 working days if encashed in any other post office.

Re: NSC maturity process
Hi Arijit,
Usually, at the time of encashing the NSC on maturity, the holders need to sign on the back of the certificate in front of the postmaster.
Thus, the post office may insist on your wife also signing the certificate in front of them, especially since the amount is large.

Re: Lost NSC - how to get a duplicate
Hi Raj,
When you bought the NSCs, you must have been given an "identity slip". This should help you get a duplicate certificate.

Re: Lost NSC cheque
Hi AG,
I am sorry, but I am not aware of the procedure in this case.
I am sure a duplicate cheque would be issued, but I do not know the process that needs to be followed.

NSC Tax query
Hi,
I have a query regarding tax calculation related to accrued interest.
I have taken NSC certificates since past 4 years.
I pay the tax on the accrued interest every year.
So if the tax is paid every year till maturity there wont be
any tax liabilty at maturity right?
I wanted to know whether paying tax every year on the accrued interest is better / paying it one time after 6 years is better ?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Maulik

Re: NSC Tax query
Hi Maulik,
You do not have an option to pay the tax at the end of 6 years. You have to pay the taxes every year on the interest earned - and you have been doing the right thing.
There would not be any additional tax liability at the time of maturity - you would only need to pay the tax on the interest accrued in the last year.

Re: nomination in national saving certificate
Hi Hardik,
As I always recommend, the best way to ensure that there is no foul play (for any investment) is to fill the form yourself.
If that is not possible, you should at least read it thoroughly before signing.

As mentioned above, a nominee is only a trustee of the money he / she collects.
So, even if he / she collects the money, it has to be handed over to the legal heirs if the nominee is not the legal heir.

Re: Premature encashing of NSC Certificates
Hi Sridhar,
Premature withdrawal from NSCs can not be done - unless the holder dies or if a court orders it.
However, NSCs can be pledged to banks, and you can take a loan against it. Please talk to your bank to know the exact procedure they follow for giving loans against NSCs.

tax exemption on accured interest on NSC
Hi,
I want to know the ammounts we have to mention for tax exemption for NSC.
If we take a NSC bond on April 1st in a year(say 2010) for 1000 can we have tax exemption for accured interest during the year(can we apply exemption during the current year). what happens if we take a NSC on Jan 1st 2010 for 1000 rs and can we put 81.6 as accured interest?

Lost the NSC Certificate
While i have read the process of issuing the duplicate certificate, i am not sure of the reason why the post office has asked for Surety Certificate and demands that both the Certificate Holder and Surety person should be present physically to submit the application. Please advise
(Follow Me)
I purchsed NSC for Rs 65,000 in December 2007. I claimed deductions for the same during the financial year 2007-08.
Now i have couple of questions.
1. What is the amount for which i can claim deductions in tax for the financial year 2008-09. What about the interest earned. Is that taxable?
2. If i wish to transfer NSC worth 30000 to my freind, how will the taxation be, for me and my freind. how will the interest amount calculated in this case.
3. if i transfer the NSC, how will the interest part be adjusted. Will the NSC still remain for the same period or a new NSC with added interest principal be created.
Please explain.
Thanks
Jitendra
