How does money double?

When you buy Kisan Vikas Patra, the tenure is decided based on the prevailing interest rate. This is determined by how long it will take for the value of your money to double. At present the interest rate is 7.5 percent, so you will have to invest for 9 years and 7 months. This means that your money will double after this period.

The interest rate is revised every quarter. If you have already purchased a Development Certificate, the tenure will not be affected by subsequent amendments. If you need money earlier then you can withdraw it after 2 years and 6 months, although in that case the benefit will be less.
