How Post Office Monthly Income Scheme Works

It is very simple to understand how post office MIS scheme works:

In order to get consistent monthly income, you need to accumulate desired corpus amount and deposit in this Post Office Scheme
Based on your deposit and interest rate, your monthly income will be calculated
Let’s say for example, you deposit Rs. 1 Lakh with 7.4% interest rate
This annual interest rate is first converted to monthly interest rate by dividing by 12:

monthly interest rate = annual interest rate / 12
monthly interest rate = 7.4% / 12 = 0.6167%

Above monthly interest rate is used to find out the monthly income based on your deposit amount using below formula:

monthly income = monthly interest rate * Deposit / 100
monthly income = 0.6167% * Rs. 1,00,000 / 100 = Rs. 617

So as seen above, you get Rs. 617 per month as income based on your deposit of Rs. 1 Lakh for next 5 years
After 5 years, you will get back your deposit of Rs. 1 Lakh
In this way, Post Office Monthly Income Scheme provides your regular income every month based on your deposits
You can deposit maximum up to Rs. 9 lakh in single account and Rs. 15 Lakh in joint account to get higher monthly income
