What this means.NPS gives an extra ₹50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B) over and above 80C. The catch: at least 40% must buy an annuity, annuity income is fully taxable, and current annuity rates of about 6% are poor value versus an SWP.

Questions

Is this investing information specific to India?

Yes. Everything on Credsir is written for Indian regulation, Indian tax law and Indian products — RBI rules, IRDAI norms, SEBI regulation and the current financial year’s income tax provisions.

How often is this page updated?

Rate tables are refreshed weekly, and immediately after an RBI policy change or a Budget announcement. Every figure on the page carries the date it was captured and a link to its source, so you can always see how current it is.

Does Credsir get paid to rank products here?

No. We earn from partner links and advertising, but rankings come from a published scoring formula that runs identically on every product, whether we earn from it or not. Products we make nothing from appear in these lists whenever they win on the numbers.

Are these the rates I will actually be offered?

Advertised rates are the best case, reserved for applicants with a high credit score, stable income and a favourable profile. Your offer depends on your credit score, employer, income and existing obligations. Treat published rates as the floor, not the quote.
