Post Office Monthly Income Scheme
Couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Monthly Income Plans or MIPs, and this week I’m going to write about a similar monthly income scheme from the Indian post office called the Post Office Monthly Income scheme.
This is a fixed income scheme which provides you a guaranteed return on your investment, and is meant for people who are looking for a monthly source of income without taking any risk at all.
Where the mutual fund MIP invests a part of its assets in equity, and even gold in some cases – and may sometimes even get you a higher than 10% return (with commensurate risk of course) this scheme has a fixed rate of return and is meant for people looking for an ultra safe investment.
Here are some features of this scheme.
Post Office MIS Interest Rate
This is a scheme from the Indian postal service that earns you an interest of 8% per annum, and generates a monthly income for you.
So if you invest Rs. 100,000 in it – your annual interest at 8% will be Rs. 8,000, and you will get Rs. 666.67 monthly.
Post Office MIS Tenure
The maturity period of the scheme is 6 years, at the end of which you will get your money back. You cannot redeem your money within a year, but you can redeem it after that upon paying a penalty.
Here is how that works.
Less than 1 year: MIS can’t be encashed.
1 – 3 years: You are penalized 2% of deposit.
After 3 years: You are penalized 1% of your deposit.
5% Bonus
If you retain your Post Office MIS till maturity (6 years) – at the end of the time period you will be given a 5% bonus on your deposit.
Minimum and Maximum Investment
The minimum sum you can invest is Rs. 1,500, and you can go up to Rs. 450,000 in case of a single account, and Rs. 900,000 in case of a joint account.
Tax on Post Office MIS
There is no TDS on the Post Office MIS, but the interest income is taxable in your hands. The interest income from post office MIS used to be tax free under section 80L, but that section has been withdrawn from April 1 2005.
Interest can be automatically credited to your bank
At the time of opening the scheme you can give in your bank account details, and interest will be automatically credited to your bank every month.
Transfer from one post office to another
There is a provision that allows you to transfer your money from one post office to another. So, if you opened your account in one post office, and moved to another place you can fill up a transfer form with them, and move your scheme to another post office.
Conclusion
This scheme is meant for people who are looking for an ultra safe investment and a regular source of monthly income on top of it. A lot of retired people will fall under this category, and if you fall under that category then you need to evaluate other options like the Senior Citizens Savings Scheme before you invest in this scheme. I”ll cover that scheme in the days to come, and if you have any questions about this particular scheme or any other observations please leave a comment.
Generally retired people make use of it.. atleast everyone retired from govt job in my family does use it.
Don’t they have the option of investing in this Senior Citizen’s Savings Scheme which has a higher rate? I read about it somewhere but can’t recall on the top of my head if that gives out a higher rate and by how much.
i think they have senior citizen savings scheme + MIP
Hi Friend,
This scheme is very useful for those who have money to invest and they want to play a safe game, POMIS will give regular return on regular intervals and we can get the money back after the decide period.
I would like you to comment on Postal MIS with interest going to monthly Postal Recurring Deposit scheme…instead of cumulative FD in a bank…..
Let me try my hands on that, but I am off for vacation for most of the remaining month, so it will take a long time.
I now realise that Interest from MIS, when goes to Postal RD, the yield for 5 year term is 10.95%…best in class….

Great – glad you found that link, which even Dhruva shared. Thanks for sharing.
I research a lot on this long back. Take a look at this link on their official website-
http://www.indiapost.gov.in/netscape/6yearsMIS.html
The thing that turned me on was the option to reinvest the monthly interest as a recurring deposit – which will make it 10.5% assured interest. (which was kind of highest assured interest I could find across board).
But then the thing that turned me off was – no computerization/online modes etc – so we need to goto post office to setup and check. (harder for me as I am sitting in USA) – still it is one of the options I am exploring to do when I return to India.
—
Below excerpts is taken from their website-
Deposit in Monthly Income Scheme and invest interest in Recurring Deposit to get 10.5% (approx) interest.
Above scheme operates automatically, if you open a saving bank account and give a request for automatic transfer of Monthly Income Scheme interest to Recurring Deposit through Saving Bank account.
Sure, This is very safe & high return (as of now) investment. This scheme can work together with MIS+ interest going directly into RD (RD is for 5 yrs only) incase monthly income is not necessary. For ease of monthly interst calculations investments in mulltiples of Rs. 1,500 is idle. as Rs. 1,500/- earns interest of Rs. 10 a month.
DOn’t u think investment in NSC gives the same return + we don’t have to depend on the agent(with the number of frauds happening these days). How can we ensure that the money received as monthly interest is depostited in the RD account every month by the agent.
NSC doesn’t have a monthly return option so that makes a difference for people specifically interested in the monthly income. I don’t think they yield ~10% do they? I remember it being in the 8% range.
Plus I’d do this myself if I had to get into this, it’s not necessary to go through an agent, and you can always monitor the account to see nothing is amiss.
Hi,
Just to add, Now you have the option of extending the postal RD upto a period of 10 years
The six Year maturity value (to Correspond with the MIS maturity date ) for RS10 RD is 910.08.
I’m not quite sure I understood what this means. The RD will last for 10 years, or the MIS can be extended for another 6 years, could you please elaborate?
Hi,
Firstly, my applauds for such a useful site…
I would also like to get some clarity on the how the RD works. It would be great if explained by an example.
Thanks Kunal – Recurring Deposits involves depositing a sum monthly, and then having it compound, and grow for a fixed period. You can open a RD with a bank or a post office. I’ll see if I can do a post on this topic.
as per rbi site some specific branchesh of nationalize banks are entitled for mis scheme like uco bank branch office ghumarwin
do u knaow about other branches and what is procedure?
as bank employees themselves don,t know about that
Sorry – but I’m not aware of any specific bank MIS schemes either.
Hello EveryBody! Really a good place for some nice basic knowledge & advanced too.
Regarding MIS + RD together:
As per the link provided by Dear Nataraj, if we invest say Rs. 15,000 in MIS & deposit the monthly interest (Rs. 100) in RD A/c, the proceed we receive after 6 years is –
From RD Maturity – Rs. 9101/-
From MIS Principal – Rs. 15000/-
From 5% MIS Bonus – Rs. 750/-
TOTAL – Rs. 24851/-
If we open NSC A/c with the same amount i.e. Rs. 15000/- as Principal, we get Rs. 24015/- as maturity value at the end of 6 year.
So Net Gain in 6 Years is Rs. 836/- [for an initial investment of Rs. 15000/-]
Plus of MIS + RD : Extra Interest of Rs. 836/-
Minus of MIS + RD : No tax benefit u/s 80C + No treatment of accrued interest in the subsequent years for the purposes of 80C benefit.
Thanks.
Hi Rahul – thanks for the excellent comparison you have done!
Many Thanks to the writer and the followers for sharing very vital information about MIS.
The question I have is, for 1500 Rs. investment, 8% of interest gives 120 per year. So, monthly 10 Rs.
But, in a website, it has been mentioned 8% interest and income for 1500 Rs. is 7 Rs per month. Can somebody add more light?
This is the URL:
http://www.tamilnadupost.nic.in/fsvc/banking_mis.htm
Can I add top-up to my existing MIS Scheme.
Please give the procedure for it. Can I do it online?
Online for the post office? Our post office is not that high tech yet 🙂
i want to know if the form for transfer of POST OFFICE MIS can be downloaded from internet, as i am out of town and not able to get this form
thnx
minipunjrath
Mini – I’m not aware of any way of downloading the form from their website, or submit it remotely.
As far I am aware, you can have deposit of Rs: 4.5 Lakhs in Single name and 9 Lakhs in joint names.
The rate of interest is 8% with 5% bonus on Maturity.
You have the option of DIRECT CREDIT to your ANY SAVING account with any bank.
Interest is exempted u/s 80C under the overall limit.
It is a good and Safe investments and highly recommend everyone for utilising this investment limit to the fullest, if you are not requiring the fun in the near future.
I want to know whether the maturity amount (Principal Amount +Bonus) of Post Office MIS is liable for Taxation at the time of maturity.Secondly,whether the monthly interest earned on the Deposits in MIS are fully taxable or is there any rebate/concession available under any section of Income Tax Rules
Vilas Vasant Patki
The interest earned is taxable, and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to avoid that. I’m however not 100% if there is absolutely no way to avoid that because there might be a way to invest it somewhere that I’m not aware of. Ordinarily it is taxable though.
There will be no tax on the principal amount invested, but you will have to pay tax on the bonus amount receivable on maturity, talking about the Monthly interest earned on the MIS it is fully taxable and advisable to show this amount while you file your yearly IT returns.
Hi Chaps,
Thanks for the posts. However, I discovered some problems with the values shown by the calculators on the PO website which I am explaining below.
For Rs. 60,000 in MIS the calculator displays the following values –
Monthly Interest = 400
If Monthly Interest is deposited in RD account –
Maturity Value = 36403
5% bonus of MIS = 3000
Total gain = 39403
Per year = 6567
Percentage interest = 10.945
The maturity value for the RD assumes that the RD runs for 6 years whereas in reality it only runs for 5 years, in which case the interest is Rs. 29156. The RD effectively matures an year earlier than the MIS. So I am not sure the percenatge interest being shown actually is accurate.
Hi,
Now you have the option of extending the RD up to 10 years though your MIS account will not earn interest if it stays beyond the stipulated 6 years.
however with the RD you have the option of continuing with Deposit, or without Deposit, upto a period of 10 years. Now the post office allows auto debit from MIS account to RD.you also have the option of paying for the RD by annual mode incase you do not want to go to the post office everymonth.You can give automatic credit to your SB and draw and pay everyyear annually for which you will get a reabate of 400 rupees for every thousand for annual payment.
Thanks a lot for answering that!
Does the PO provide a accrued interest certificate for filling IT Returns on RDs?
i had invest rs. 600000=00 in mis (post office scheme) date -26-4-2006. i have entitiled for bonus. if yes how much .
At the redemption, everyone gets the bonus, so yes, you will get a 5% bonus when it’s redeemed next year.
Hi
My quesion is to you, on redemption of Post office MIS scheme How I treat the bonus part on redemption should I treat long term capital gain and take the benefit of indexation. Please advice on this issue.
Regards
Ankit
Sounds like this is capital gains Ankit, but I’m not sure, best to check with CA.
Tax Treatment for Bonus under Post Office Monthly Income Scheme
Under above scheme, bonus equal to 10% of the Principal amount of
deposit is made by post office in case withdrawl of deposit is made
after expiry of the prescribed period of deposit i.e. 6 years. What
tax treatment is to be made for above receipt?
(1) Whether the same is to be treated as receipt of interest and
is to be offered for tax
(2) Whether the same is to considered as capital gain in spite
of the fact that the amount invested is an investment and not
capital assets.
(3) Not liable to tax at all.
we have mis scheme in post office for rs450000/-in two names,either or survivor,ist person is expired&survivor wnats to withdraw itbefre maturity ie after 9 months. idon!t want to be penalized. kindly suggest .thanks
I’m sorry for your loss – unfortunately, I don’t know enough to give you a definite answer, and will advise you to go to the post office and find that out.
Pl. intimate whether the bonus received after maturity from Post Office MIS is taxable?
Yes, to the best of my knowledge it is taxable.
Dear Mr.Manshu,
Many thanks.One more query.If father has invested the principal amount in the PO MIS A/C & it is held jointly with his son ,whether son has to pay gift tax on the principal amount also after its maturity in case his father expires before the maturity?
I’m not as up to date with tax info as I’d like to be and I’m not quite sure what will happen in this case.
well there will be no gift tax in this case as father’s money passing on to son will be considered as gift received from a relative which is exempt (any amount)(father son any lineal ascendant or desendant)
if i invest 1lac in POMIS then after maturity how much extra amount i will get.for example every month i will take the monthly interest .excluding that amount how much i will get after 6 years.
Excluding the Interest amount you received every month, you will be receiving your principal invested amount back but with addition of a 5% Bonus i.e total 105000/- in your case.
Hi Rupesh… Govt. has stopped paying any Bonus on Post Office MIS since December 1st, 2011.
Even I have heard of the same but what about the MIS accounts opened prior to 1 DEC 2011, I don’t think this new rule is applicable for old MIS, are they going to pay us the interest as per new interest rates, there are such things still to confirm, I searched & am searching for such information even PO agents are still in a confusion, even though once again I will be asking my PO agent about this & forward the related info as soon as the same reaches me, till then it would be really fine if you or anyone on this forum could confirm the same if possible.
Once again I reconfirmed with my PO Agent and she also confirmed that the discontinuation of Bonus will not affect old PO MIS i.e the bonus of 5% will be applicable on maturity only PO MIS opened post DEC 2012 will not get bonus.
Still not certain that’s true because there were news reports in Dec 2011 about the bonus being scrapped. Here is a link for reference. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2618995.ece
Thanks Manshu for your Reply & the Link for reference. I went thru the same & found a comment of Shri. S.KRISHNAN even he had raised his concern over the scrapping of bonus but in an immediate reply to his post itself he had cleared that the Bonus on Maturity remains unaltered for PO MIS opened prior to Dec 2011. Find below the excerpts from his post for reference.
[ “Further to my post on 29.11.11 i wish to clarify that our fear was unfounded and based on misleading reports in newspaper. As per Notification i have read to day no.113 dt 24.11.11 the maturity bonus is not applicable ONLY ON new MIS accounts opened on or after 1.12.11.Therefore the interest of existing ongoing account holders stands unaltered. One may visit post office web site and see the notitification No.113 which is very clear.
from: S.KRISHNAN
Posted on: Nov 30, 2011 at 13:22 IST “]
Not “post DEC 2012” it should be “Post December 2011”.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake.
DO any body knows this?
After maturing RD or MIS account do post office return back the money through the agent if we have given signed documents or is it compulsory the person should present for withdrawel?
hhh
l lik everyday information
I have suficiant amount iin co operative bank and i want my money deposit in post office as mis . Tell me the proceedure.
You will have to go to a post office and figure it out – they will explain it to you.
Govt increases the interest rate from 8% to 8.2% but scraps the 5% bonus on maturity. Also it states that rate notification will be from Dec-1 and the MIS of old schemes maturing after Dec-1 won’t get the 5% or 10% maturity bonus? Is this true? If yes then we should take forward it; how can govt not increasing the interest rate of our savings from the date of invested even not giving a single penny of increased interest rate rather they are snatching the maturity bonus (5% or 10% of old schemes) from us if the maturity date falls after 1-Dec.
i want to know what can be the maximum amount in Monthly Income of post office to avoide Income tax by senoir citizen of 70 year.
That question doesn’t make any sense to me. What are you trying to do? Reduce taxable income? You can invest up to Rs. 1 lakh in some investments fixed deposits and then another 20K in some more bonds. That’s the way to reduce taxable income.
You can’t just avoid paying tax by investing in a post office scheme.
in case of MIS if the account holders are both dead the monthly installment of MIS will change or
remain same , in case of nomination.
Don’t know about that Sanjay – better check with the post office directly.
dear sir,

Dear Sir
had visited post office today to update my POMIS passbook, there i heard the officer telling another investor that Bonus has been withdrawn wef 13 Feb 2006, can you please clarify regarding Bonus on POMIS Scheme.
regards
bhandary
Yes, they don’t give the 5% bonus any longer.
As per my information prior to FEB 2006 the bonus was 10% & in FEB 2006 the same was discontinued but w.e.f. December 8, 2007 the government has reintroduced the bonus option on maturity in the scheme but a lower rate of 5% but as per the recent information w.e.f 01 DEC 2011 bonus has been discontinued, but I hope it should be applicable to MIS opened post DEC 2011 but I am still unclear of what will happen to the bonus on MIS opened prior to DEC 2011, I am searching for this information, if someone have any confirm source pls reply.

Hi Manshu,
First of all i would like to Thank you for taking time to answer all of our questions, i really appreciate it !.
Like others i too have a question, My Father opened a MIS account on my name 3 years ago, now it is time to encash the MIS principal and the interest that was going into the linked SB account.
the problem is i do not have a Bank account in india, i do not want to open a bank account either just to encash the MIS. would they just pay me by cash or other means if i am willing to show up in person at the post office.
With Best Regards
Ashwin
Thanks for your kind words Ashwin – as far as I know post offices don’t hand out cash like that for the MIS scheme but my knowledge about this is limited so I can’t say with 100% confidence whether you’ll be able to get cash or not.
I invested 500,000 in mis and renewal was jan2012,by mistake cannot do it on time but do it on the month of may 2012 now I want know can I get monthly income from jan to april,kindly clear me
Please check with the post office – they will let you know how to handle the situation a lot better than anyone on this forum.
I hope you will not get the MIS interest amount for the period of JAN to APR, but you will recieve the interest amount applicable to Post office Saving Account i.e 4% P.A. For more information you can check out the clause 9A in the below link.
http://www.indiapost.gov.in/POSBActs/POMISRules1987.pdf
My mother had opened MIS account in Post Office for Rs. 2 lacs on 31-05-2006. On maturity date 31-05-2012 , i.e. complete period of 6 years , she received only Rs. 2 lacs. Bonus amount has not been paid to her. Please clarify whether the bonus amount is admissible to her or not.
As per my information prior to FEB 2006 the bonus was 10% & in FEB 2006 the same was discontinued but w.e.f. December 8, 2007 the government reintroduced the bonus option on maturity in the scheme but with a lower rate i.e 5%. Your mother opened the MIS in MAY 2006 which is the period during which Bonus was discontinued hence bonus has not been paid. I hope this is the reason your mother was not entitled for a maturity bonus. At that time It was a wise decision & hence many individuals withdrew their MIS & opened new MIS with bonus on maturity.
Sir,
I invested in 6 year MIS on 28.6.2010. Now upon maturity I am told by the post office that during that investments during that period (for few months) do not attract maturity bonus. Is it right?
Dear Sir,
I invite your kind attn to my query posted just now. In it please read the date of investment as 28.6.2006 and not 28.6.2010 as mentioned in it. Sorry for the trouble.
Thank you.
Your PO is right in your matter, Maturity Bonus is not applicable for your MIS. For more information you may please refer my reply to the query of Shri. Aman Wadhwa, it is in the same context.
Thank you, Sir.
Yes, that is right – you wont get any maturity bonus of 10%. The maturity bonus remained discontinued for the investments done on or between Febryary 13th, 2006 and December 7th, 2007.
Thank you, Sir for your kind reply.
Post office Monthly Income Scheme used to pay 10% / 5% Bonus on maturity after six years in earlier years. My querry relates to income tax.
I am given to understand that the INTEREST income from the said M. I. Scheme is taxable but it is not clear whether the amount of 10% / 5% BONUS received on Maturity is TAX FREE or TAXABLE in the hands of the Account holder. Please give me a confirmed information as someone has to file tax return.
Please clarify whether the Maturity Bonus received under the Post Office Monthly Income Scheme is taxable or tax free.
It is taxable.
Dear Shri Shiv Kukreja,
I refer your comments / reply given in respect of the query raised by Mr. KBR DHAWAN on 18.7.2012. You say that the Bonus amount is Taxable. May I know, under what authority you confirm your statement. Is there any Section confirming your reply? Please clarify.
– SUNIL CHOPRA
Hi Mr. Sunil… It is as per DG Posts letter No. 97-7/89-SB dated November 20, 1990:
http://www.tribuneindia.com/2012/20120108/biz.htm
DG Posts letter No. 97-7/89-SB dt 20.11.1990 states that the CBDT have clarified that the bonus payable under POMIS shall be treated as interest and will be taxable. Therefore, the same cannot be treated as capital gains.
i got pomis wef nov 2004 during which time bonus and monthly interest NOT TAXABLE. but govt of india has later said tha interest and bonus are taxable wef 1.4.2005 . It is unfortunae from the point of depositer bcause…any scheme once entered will not be changed till its maturity. govt may apply new conditions for the schemes enterd later to 1.4.2005.in this scheme amount locked for 6 yrs.ie not allowed depositer to with draw.but new condition of tax has been imposed.it is g.ross injustice. my contention is that tax should not be imposed till its maturity.pl CLARIFY
Hi kjsarma… As far as I know, POMIS interest and bonus was always taxable even before April 1, 2005.
Thank you for your response. On the same web page the below content is displayed for your information, to state that tax was imposed only from 1.04.2005.
Tax on Post Office MIS
There is no TDS on the Post Office MIS, but the interest income is taxable in your hands. The interest income from post office MIS used to be tax free under section 80L, but that section has been withdrawn from April 1 2005.
:-)… There is a big difference between being totally Tax-Free and getting an exemption u/s 80L to make your income from these investments tax-exempt. Prior to April 1, 2005, one used to get a tax deduction of Rs. 12000 u/s 80L from interest on bank deposits, tax saving bonds, NSCs, POMIS among others.
All the interest income used to first get added to determine your gross taxable income and then deduction u/s 80L was applied. That ways interest earned over and above Rs. 12000 from all these instruments was taxable. This is on similar lines as we get exemption u/s 80C or 80D these days.
The difference lies in the language used to tell people that upto Rs. 12000 POMIS interest income was tax deductible. Interest income has always been taxable and TDS is never applied on POMIS. So I think nobody stands a chance to appeal against this Govt. notification. Sorry…
I’m not sure why but this blog is loading very slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem
still exists.
If a lady has invested Rs. 9,00,000/- in MIS and like wise getting Rs. 6,000/- interest every month. the a/c is opened jointly with her son.
so will Rs. 72,000/- shall be taxed in the hands of the lady or Rs. 36,000/- each shall be taxed in the hands of the lady as well as her son?
Hi Karan… As per notification no. G.S.R. 706 (E) dated 5.9.2000 related to Post Office (Monthly Income Account) – “the depositor’s share in the balance of a joint account shall be taken as ½ or 1/3rd of such balance held in a joint account opened by two adults or three adults respectively.”
But the taxability of the interest income from POMIS joint account depends on the source of capital invested. If the son is not minor and his income has also been used to make the investment, then the interest income should be taxable in the hands of both the applicants in the proportion of the capital invested. If the mother has contributed all of the capital then the interest income will be added to the mother’s income in full.
thanx for your advice..it was really very helpful! 🙂
You are most welcome Karan!
plz send any penssion plan for me…my d.o.b. 1st oct 1979.

Regret to inform but you cannot claim deduction under section 80C for PO MIS. Instead you are liable to pay taxes for the Interest earned for the particular financial year.
I want to take Small Saving Agency in karnataka., what is the procedure. kindly send me mail please.

thankyou ….. great help
jus a little confusion ..
“Tax on Post Office MIS
There is no TDS on the Post Office MIS, but the interest income is taxable in your hands. The interest income from post office MIS used to be tax free under section 80L, but that section has been withdrawn from April 1 2005.”
so this means there is no further tax reduction on 666 pm since 2005 ??
Hi Rahul… It is an old article. The current interest rate on POMIS is 8.5% per annum payable monthly, there is no TDS but it is fully taxable i.e. you will have to add the interest earned in your taxabale income.
thanks
If I want to invest (4.5L) in the name of a minor (3 years), is this a better option and what is the tax implication as I;m a housewife and received this money from sale of an ancestor property?
What if one of joint account holders of MIS dies?Should joint account still be continued?
Please transfer the account in your name in such a case.
Thanks Manshu,but considering limit of 4.5 lacs for each sharer,Are u sure it’s possible to get full control of 9.0 lacs in Mis joint acct of 2 people?Any references would be highly appreciated.
Sourabh – I’m sorry I didn’t realize you were also referring to the 9 lakh limit. That is a good point and I guess why else would you be interested in the question if you weren’t near the limit.
You shouldn’t get control of the full 9 lakhs and you will have to give them a death certificate immediately so they can tell you how to proceed. I’m sorry about my earlier comment. I made a mistake in fully understanding your question.
Hi Sourabh and Hi Manshu… I want to add this info here – “If one of the depositors/joint holders of a Post Office MIS account dies, the account will have to be converted into a single account in the name of the surviving depositor from the date of death of the said depositor when a report to this effect is received in the post office. The Post Master/Senior Post Master will ask the surviving depositor to withdraw the excess amount, in excess of the limit prescribed for single depositor (Rs. 4.5 lakhs at present), as this amount will not carry interest from the date of death of the joint depositor. The interest already paid on this excess amount will be recovered or adjusted.”
Dear Shiv,
In this case, if the penalty (1% or 2 % depending on the time period) will be applicable while withdrawing the excess amount. Also what will happen to the 5% bonus.
Regards,
Dear Himanshu,
No penalty is applicable in case of death of the depositor/joint holder in Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS). Also, as per the Manual of Post Office, “The MIS Rules clearly provide for payment of bonus where admissible on completion of maturity period of the account irrespective of the fact as to whether the account holder is/was alive or not on the date of maturity”. So, it looks to me that the bonus of 5% will be paid in full on the original deposit of Rs. 9 lakhs on maturity i.e. Rs. 45,000 (5% of Rs. 9,00,000).
Dear Shiv,
Thanks for the reply. Still confused regarding the bonus. Why the Post office will pay bonus for full Rs 9 lakhs while Rs 4.5 lakhs are already withdrawn before maturity as a excess deposit money after the death of joint holder.
If there is any issue in keeping the deposit as it is and no excess deposit is withdrawn. After maturity the deposit amount can be taken on the name of the surviving depositor.
Regards,
Dear Himanshu,
I dont know the precise logic behing them paying 5% bonus even after the withdrawal of the excess amount but the language of the Post Office Manual is there for everybody to refer. As per the Manual, the bonus is payable on maturity even if the account holder is not alive.
I have not faced any such case with any of my clients, but I think one can confirm it with the Post Master/Senior Post Master, if required. This is probably some kind of “Bullet Payment” provision which is there with the PO MIS.
Thanks Shiv,
Please suggest –
If there is any issue in keeping the deposit as it is and no excess deposit is withdrawn. After maturity the deposit amount can be taken on the name of the surviving depositor.
Regards,
No interest will be paid on the excess amount from the date of death of the joint depositor. The interest already paid on this excess amount will also be recovered or adjusted.
Hello,
My brother has a similar case that is being discussed here.
Could you give a link that provides this rule? I mean where can I find this manual ? I need to quote this “on completion of maturity period of the account irrespective of the fact as to whether the account holder is/was alive or not on the date of maturity”

What is the process of transfer of a joint account ?
I have an account with my father but now we are both moving to different cities.. can I get this account transferred to my city without requiring his presence. ??
who is doing this trading i want to talk to dat guy
I have invested Rs. 6000/- in MIS last month and have received Rs. 42/- as interest and got the interest amount auto-credited to my Savings Account. Thanks for the provision of auto-credit, it’s a great help. In case I want to invest more amount in MIS as and when any amount is availble with me in future, it seems I have to open a separate Account instead of adding the new amount to my alrwady existing MIS Accounts. It is very uncomfortable as the accounts are going to be splitted up and I will have to maintain a number of Accounts till I complete the amount of 4.5 lakhs. Instead of having No. of Accounts, the MIS Account for one single person should be only one, whenever any person is investing in this Scheme at different times the short amounts should be added to the original MIS Account and interest calculated accordingly. This will help the customer in maintaining only one Single Account than a number of Accounts. – Suggestion Please.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the situation as it stands today, and there’s nothing that can be done about it right now.
Hi Sujatha… One suggestion would be to open a Post Office Recurring Deposit account in which rate of interest is similar at 8.30% p.a., but the only thing is it does not pay interest on a monthly basis.
what is the proceedure for auto credit of my monthly intrest in the saving bank account
You need to get a savings account opened with the post office and you can get the monthly interest transferred into that account. Cheque book facility is also there with the post office.
I have an mis a/c of Rs. 450000. I also want to invest Rs. 900000 tripple joint in mis is it possible
Hi Arun,
A single Post Office MIS account can be opened for a maximum of Rs. 4.5 lakhs and a joint account by two or three adults can be opened for a maximu of Rs. 9 lakhs.
Three persons can open three single accounts for Rs. 4.5 lakhs each totalling to Rs. 13.5 lakhs. These three persons can invest Rs. 13.5 lakhs jointly in three joint accounts of 4.5 lakhs each or by opening two accounts, one for Rs. 9 lakhs and other for Rs. 4.5 lakhs in order to complete the share Rs. 4.5 lakhs of each adult.
Similarly, a guardian can open a separate account on behalf of each minor for Rs. 4.5 lakhs.
I have a post office mis jointly with my husband. I am the second holder. Can I add the interest to my source of income rather than his?
Hi Mrs. Ghosh,
I’m not 100% sure about it, but I think the interest income is taxable in the proportion of your respective contributions while doing this investment. If the whole of the contribution is made by the first holder, then it will be added to the income of the first holder. So, you can show the interest income as your income, if the whole of the investment was made by your source of funds.
What is the charges on maturity of MIS if mode of payment is by cheque.?

Sir,
A depositor has 3 MIS a/c. One opened during nov.2008 and other 2 opened during june 2010. The depositor has deceased. All have nominations.
1. Can the nominee keep the deposits until maturity to avail bonus ?
2. If yes, whether to intimate PO alongwith death certificate and transfer it in nominee’s name ?
3. Since, no penalty for claim before maturity, will the PO force us to withdraw and what will happen to bonus ?
Pl clarify on the above sir,
Hi Kan S,
As per the Post Office rules, in the event of death of the depositor, the MIS account will have to be closed and the deposit will get paid to the nominee along with the interest due.
Hi, After 5 years the total sum will be depostited back to the savings account (or) if desired it can kept for further in MIS scheme. If yes how many years it can be kept in MIS.
Hi Kumar,
With Post Office MIS, if you do not withdraw your deposit on maturity, then simple post office savings bank interest gets paid for a maximum period of 2 years from the date of maturity.

Sir , I want to know that , Is it possible to take loan either from my deposited MIS amount ( 9 lakh ) or from post office as loan ?
Loan facility is not available against Post Office MIS deposit. Also, post offices don’t provide any kind of loan. You can have loan against PPF though, if you have PPF account.

I have deposited Rs. 4,50,000 in minor son’s name in post office MIS. Can I get the monthly interest deposited in the savings bank of SBI or ICICI Bank as I am not in a position to go to post office monthly to withdraw the money. Please advise.
Hi Abhinay,
I don’t think it is possible. You can open a new post office savings account and get the monthly interest transferred to it. For a minor’s account, age of the child should be 10 years plus.

sir
what to do in case of MIS post matured.i mean how to calculate interest in that case?
In case of MIS interest is paid monthly, so at the end i.e on Maturity you will be getting your principal invested amount back with bonus if applicable at that time, becuase since the last 1-2 years bonus have been cancelled.
i just wanted to clarify one thing if i will deposit 1000000 laks for 5 year so i will get 8.5% interest per month after 5 year once my maturity will finish how much bonus should i receive
Hi Vivek,
Bonus has been discontinued by the government in Post Office MIS w.e.f. 1st December, 2011. So, you’ll not get any bonus now.
I invested on 19-6-2008, a sum of Rs.3 lakhs in Indian post office MIS scheme and the monthly interest is automatically credited into RD. How much I will get at the end including bonus etc. I did not take any loan/ withdrawal in the middle and continued the whole tenure of 6 years as well as in MIS and RD
You need to contact the post office guys to get the details of maturity proceeds.
Sir I deposited Rs. 4.5 lakhs(sole holder) in post office MIS scheme in Nov.2010. one year later I deposited another 4.5 lakhs (with my son as joint holder. Both were done through the same agent. Now the post office(Vasco) says the entire 9 lakhs had to be joint holding. They say they will recover the interest paid to me in the second account(joint holding i.e interest on 2.25 lakhs). Kindly advise. Thank you
Hi Mrs. Leela,
With Post Office MIS, you can deposit a maximum of Rs. 4.5 lakh in a single name and Rs. 9 lakh in joint names. In your case, it is more than Rs. 4.5 lakh in a single name, so the post office is right in recovering the extra interest paid to you.
Dear Sir,
I am looking for compound interest plan, is there any plan as such in which I can earn near to 1 Cr Rs at the end of my 55 I am 24 now.
Thanks.
Try recurrent deposit of Rs.5000.00 per month at 9% interest for 31 years. Would give you Rs.100,74,937.18 .
May I know which bank is offering this?
Suggestion:
1)You can open a PPF account and deposit Rs.5500.00 per month.
2)Interest would be tax free.
3)80c benefit in IT.
4)After 15 yrs,extend in batches of 5 yrs.
5)Rate of interest may vary year to year.

hey i have this mis scheme.and i have this account from 2011..so it is illegible for the bonus.i want to know if i withdraw some amount from this account i m still illegible for the bonus at the six year maturity date??or bonus is cancelled out because of the withdrawal off that amount????
Premature withdrawal is not permitted in Post Office MIS account. However, you can get it closed prematurely. There are penalty provisions in case of premature closure, so you should not expect any bonus in case you decide to close it before maturity.
I have to deposit a Cheque of MIS after maturity into my accoutn but it was lost and time period of three months validity of cheques also passed now what should i do to re issue my cheque from post office so that i can now deposit it within time .. please send me reply in my email
You should approach the post office and request them to reissue the maturity cheque to you.
I have my Mis with full limit have 2 daughters one of 15 & other of 5year can I deposit 4.5 lakhs separate by opening their mis.pls tell for both

Dear sir
If I deposit rs.10000 in this scheme so how much amount of interest should I get per month.
Deposit should be in multiple of Rs.1500.00. Therefore for Rs.10500.00, monthly payout would be Rs.74.00.

So on maturity the amount is eligible for bonus of 5%? As since 2012 no bonus will be provided under this scheme.As my grandpa had opened an account in 2010 so i want tob know whether he will get bonus of 5% as no bonus provision came in 2012.pls rply its urgent.
Hi Ravi,
Your grandfather will get the 5% bonus.
what is the taxability of Bonus received in post MIS scheme.
it is taxable under the head income from other source.
I am a joint holder of mis with my mother. Can she alone withdraw the mis on maturity or my presence is requried
You would be required to sign the withdrawal form. You physical presence is not required.
1. Can the joint MIS account( with three names) be transferred to other post office, if second named a/c holder( having the Pss Book with him) apply for the transfer or Whether the signatures of all 3 a/c holders are must ?
2. Can the monthly interest withdrawal from joint MIS account be stopped or the account be freezed as per the prayer of one of the joint a/c holder for not receiving the share of his monthly interest ?
Sorry, you need to contact the post office in your area for your queries.
i am a retired person &having a m.i.s since 2010 in a post-office(kolkata writers building)&getting mis interest regularly in my bank account through ecs but suddenly post office has stopped such transfer of interest to my bank account without any intimation to me.
After quary to the post office they informed that govt has withdrawn such ecs facility &i have to open a saving account in this branch to get the monly interest.

Hello Sir,

dear sir
I have a MIS A/C of 600000 in bistupur office in jamshedpur in joint B.I am account holder with my two yelder brother but i have not a pass book of the account and they not give me a any type of money .Plz sugess me what i can do or process to stop the payment? for this i will be thanking for you .
MIS interest stopped going to designated bank account of your choice. instead Post office dictated that you open an SB Account in the Post Office to credit the interest. I wen thrice to open the account. Everytime there wee hurdles including printer out of order, staff leave, come after three month of open SB Account. How can the Post Office babus think of starting bank service when they never really worked in life. I am a victim of dumping Rs 3 L in park street, Kolkata PO and not able to collect even interest after Dec 2014 when the Post Master sent a letter advising me to open the SB Account which they never open..what a trick.
Dear Sir,
Joint ‘B’ means any one of the joint holders can operate the account as well as withdraw the amount from the MIS Account.

Dear Sir, my MIS in Goregaon PO is matured this month but they are not giving cheque. They say it will be transferred to PO saving account l. I do not have a PO savings bank account. How can I get my matured MIS

Can the nominee sign and get back the maturity amount or the maturity amount can be transferred to mis holders account with nominees signature with account holders authorisation. or simply is it mandatory that only account holder has to be present in person to receive the maturity amount?

My parents were having 2 joint a/c in POMIS each of Rs.300000/- from 28/08/2010. My mother expired on 22/09/2015. So our post office suggest my father to close one account because as a single a/c he was crossing the prescribe limit.
In this case PO charged him 1% penalty as Premature closing. On the other hand PO processed this transaction as Death claim and prepared cheque worth Rs.315000/-. While paying to my father they are asking 18000/- as cash which is difference of (315000-(300000-1% penalty)).
What is correct procedure to handle this situation?

Dear Sir,
I deposited some money under MIS to Dharmatala PO, Writers’ Building PO, Income Tax PO and Park Street PO. Now, from this month the above post offices refuse to pay MIS by withdrawal slip else they insist me to open a Savings account in that PO. I came to know that in your recent circular, while opening account in Park Street HPO, they told me that as per recent circular received by them on 19.12.15 payment of MIS will be made as usual and no Savings A/c need to be opened for that. But the other POs insist me to open an account with them. Please tell me how many PO accounts will be opened by me? Can I transfer all my deposits from other POS to a single Po? Please advice.

I had opened a MIS account for Rs.66000/- i 2010 and at that time bonus was 10% on maturity. Subsequently, after 2 to 3 years, they changed the bonus to 5% for new accounts. Now when I surrendered the MIS account for closure, Post Office paid me only 66,000/- plus 5% bonus i.e, Rs.3,3000 instead Rs. 6,600/-. Is this correct? Or I am eligible to get 10% bonus. Please clarify thru my e-mail.
Are you sure about the 10% maturity bonus in 2010, because as per my information prior to FEB 2006 the bonus was 10% & in FEB 2006 the same was discontinued but w.e.f. December 8, 2007 the government has reintroduced the bonus option on maturity in the scheme but with a lower rate of 5%. Further I myself have a MIS opened in AUG 2010 & right from that time itself I am aware that the Maturity Bonus is 5%.

I am nominee in one of the Post Office MIS deposit of my aunt, who expired last year in June. The deposit will mature in 2017. If i retain the MIS till maturity whether i will be entitled to interest rate of the MIS ? If yes, can i ask post office to credit monthly interest in my SB account with Post Office.

a person has illegally opened 3 single MIS accounts each with rs. 4.5 lacs in different post office. what legal actions can be taken against him? where can we file a complaint against him?
My question is as under.
‘A’ ( Mail) & ‘B ( Femail)’ is a couple. Both they have joint MIS account in post with deposit of 4.5 lacs each. I.e. In one account ‘A’ is main holder & ‘B’ is associate Holder with deposit of 4.5 lacs & In other Account’B’ is main Holder & ‘A’ is associate holder with deposit of 4.5 lacs. In case if ‘A’ died before maturity, then whether ‘B’ can get benefit of interest of his Joint account with ‘A’ where she is associate holder, up to Maturity ? & at the same time, whether she can also take benefit of Interest of Her Own account where She is Main holder ?
I had kept in post office MIS Rs 684000/- in Nov 2010. I get Rs 4560/- per month as Monthly Income in my account. This works out to 8% interest. So far I had not checked this interest. I feel rate applicable at that time was positively more than 8%. Could you please clarify what was the rate applicable for deposits in 2010? If yes can anything be done? Appreciate reply. Thanks
