The Indian government is set to review the interest rates for small savings schemes during the October-December 2026 quarter. According to Adhil Shetty, CEO of BankBazaar, the rates will be guided by the bond yields and broader rate environment.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate increased to 4.82% in August 2026, up from 3.48% in April 2026. However, the CPI inflation rate is still far from the Reserve Bank of India's upper limit of 6%.
The Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCCS) and Sukanya Samriddhi Account rates remain at 8.2%, while the Public Provident Fund (PPF) rate remains at 7.1%.
The final interest rate decisions for the October-December 2026 period will be known after the government's review. Until then, investors should not assume that higher inflation or bond yields will automatically lead to higher returns across small savings schemes.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not yet confirmed the review date.
The review will be based on the bond yields and broader rate environment.
