Apr 2019 – Jun 2019	7.7%	COVID se pehle high interest rate
Jul 2019 – Mar 2020	7.6%	Pandemic se pehle government ne thoda rate cut kiya
Apr 2020 – Sep 2022	6.6%	BiCOVID-19 ke dauran bada rate cut hua, lagbhag 2.5 saal tak same raha(Cleartax)
Oct 2022 – Dec 2022	6.7%	Pandemic ke baad pehli baar interest rate badhaya gaya

Is table se hame ek important cheez pata chalati hai ki interest rate economy aur government policy ke hisaab se change hota rehta hai. 2021 me Covid ke dauran interest rate kaafi low raha lekin jaise jaise pandemic ka asar kam hota gaya Post Office MIS ka interest rate bhi gradually increase hota gaya.

Government POMIS Interest Rate Kaise Decide Karti Hai

Bahut log samajhte hain ki government bas apne hisaab se interest rate decide karti hai but sachhai ye hai ki Government actually ek proper formula follow karti hai, jo mainly Government Securities (G-Sec) yields par based hota hai. Iss formula ki neev 2010 me Shyamala Gopinath Committee ki recommendation par tay kiya gaya tha.

Simple language me process kuchh is tarah hota hai:

• Sabse pehle government bond yield dekhi jaati hai
• Uske upar ek 25 basis points ka spread add kiya jata hai
• Fir uske basis par Post Office scheme ka interest rate decide hota hai

Example: 10-year Government-Securities 8% yield de raha hai, toh PPF ki rate hogi 8.25% (yaani 8% + 0.25%)^{(Policy Bazaar)}. POMIS ke liye benchmark hota hai 3-year G-Sec yield + 0.25% spread.

Pehle yeh rates sirf saal mein ek baar badlti thi. Phir 2014 me NDA Government aane ke baad, February 2016 mein Government of India ne notify kiya ki ab interest rates annually reset hone ki bajay har quarter (teen mahine mein) reset hongi.

Is system ka main purpose yeh hota hai ki:

• Post Office schemes safe aur stable rahein
• Yeh government borrowing system ke saath aligned rahein
• Investors ko predictable aur stable return mile

Isi wajah se kabhi-kabhi bank FD aur Post Office schemes ke interest rates me difference bhi dekhne ko milta hai.

Interest Rate Kitni Baar Change Hota Hai

Post Office schemes ka interest rate har quarter revise ho sakta hai, yani saal me total 4 baar review hota hai. Ye quarters kuchh is tarah hote hain:

• January – March
• April – June
• July – September
• October – December

Har quarter government decide karti hai ki interest rate same rahega, badhega ya ghatega. Lekin ek important baat samajhana bahut jaruri hai ki agar aapne POMIS me investment kar diya hai, to aapko interest ke form me jo monthly income mil rahi thi wo maturity tak wahi interest rate par milega jo investment ke time tha.

Matlab agar baad me rate change bhi ho jaye, to purane investors par uska koi effect nahi padega.

POMIS Me Maximum Kitna Invest Kar Sakte Hai

2026 me POMIS ki investment limits kuchh is tarah hain:

• Single account: ₹9 lakh tak invest kar sakte hain
• Joint account: ₹15 lakh tak invest kiya ja sakta hai

Joint account me maximum 3 log ho sakte hain aur jo monthly income milti hai, wo sabhi account holders me equally distribute hoti hai. Example ke liye, agar husband-wife joint account me ₹15 lakh invest karte hain, to unhe lagbhag ₹9250 per month ki monthly income mil sakti hai.

Kya 2026 Me POMIS Interest Rate Badhega

Ye exactly predict karna bahut mushkil kaam hai. Lekin kuchh factors hai jo kafi had tak ishara kar dete hai ki aage rates badhenge ya ghatenge.

Interest rate increase hone ke chances tab hote hain jab:

• Inflation high ho jaye
• RBI apna repo rate increase kar de
• Government bond yields badh jaye tab

Agar economy stable rehti hai to rate same bhi reh sakta hai. 2026 me experts ka maanna hai ki short term me interest rate stable rehne ke chances zyada hain.

POMIS Kinke Liye Best Hai

Waise to ye scheme sabhi prakar ke logo ke liye best hai jo ek stable income generate karna chahate hai. Par ye scheme khaas kar un logo ke liye best hai jo:

• retirees ho
• senior citizens
• low risk investors
• passive income chahne wale log

Agar koi long-term wealth creation chahata hai to mutual funds ya equities better ho sakte hain.
