Therefore, some people prefer to invest in a place where their investment is completely safe and they get guaranteed returns.

Double your money in 115 months
Post Office's Kisan Vikas Patra Scheme guarantees doubling of any investor's money in 115 months. At present, 7.5 percent compound interest is available annually on this scheme.

Apart from this, any number of accounts can be opened under the scheme.
Who can open an account
Hearing the name of Kisan Vikas Patra, it seems that this scheme has been made only for farmers. Actually, when SKI was started in 1988, its objective was to double the investment of farmers, but now it has been opened to everyone. Now any adult can open a single or joint account. Apart from this, a child above 10 years of age can take Kisan Vikas Patra in his/her name.
A parent can open an account on behalf of a minor or a mentally unsound person. While opening this account, documents like Aadhar Card, Age Certificate, Passport Size Photo, KPV Application Form etc. are required. Foreign nationals are not eligible for this scheme.
