post offices offer several financial services to their customers in the form of savings schemes and life insurance. Typically, a post office RD is among the most popular savings alternatives to traditional fixed deposits and other long-term schemes offered by post offices. Post office Recurring Deposits have become the most preferred instruments when compared to banks. One of the reasons behind its popularity is the attractive interest rate one can earn on them and a great profit upon maturity. The post office RD interest rates are revised in a proper interval and and the current interest rate is 6.50% p.a. The interest is compounded quarterly which enables the money deposited to multiply till the maturity time. Post Office Investment-Savings Schemes The Post Office Saving Schemes include several reliable products and offer risk-free investment returns. Around 1.54 lakh post offices spread all over the country operate these schemes. For example, the government operates the PPF scheme via 8200 public sector banks and post offices in each city. These investments are government-backed and thus provide guaranteed returns.  Investments in post office schemes help to create a corpus for emergency purposes and achieve goals. They also offer tax benefits up to Rs.1.5 lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The various schemes offered by the post office are discussed below. Post Office RD Interest Rates 2024 Tenure RD Rates for General Citizens RD Rates for Senior Citizens 5 years 6.50% 6.50% Features of Post Office RD Scheme The interest rate provided by the Post Office on RD is 5.80% p.a. compounded quarterly. The tenure of a post office RD is 5 years The minimum deposit to be made in an RD account is Rs. 10 per month There is a rebate provided on advanced deposits of at least 6 months There is no cap on the upper limit, provided it should be in multiples of 5 The Post Office RD account can be transferred from one post office to another A joint account can be opened by two persons The penalty for missing a deposit is charged as 5 paise for every Rs. 5 How to Calculate Post Office RD Returns? The sum of interest offered on a Post Office Recurring Deposit follows the compounding principle. It uses the compounding interest formula mentioned below to calculate the sum of interest. A= P x (1+R/N) ^ (Nt) Here, A= Maturity Amount P= Recurring deposit N= Number of times the interest is compounded R= Rate of interest t= Tenure For example, Mr. G invests Rs. 6,000 into his PORD at the rate of 7.2% p.a. for 60 months. The sum accrued at maturity would stand at – A= P x (1+R/N) ^ (Nt) = Rs. 4,33,883 Components of the RD Interest Rates in Post Office 2024 Tenure Unlike the recurring deposit at banks, post office RD tenure is fixed, i.e. 5 years. Most people open an RD account to use it as immediate support in case of any inevitable emergency in the coming years making it an instrument being used as a medium-term investment option. Presently, an RD account in a Post office has a minimum tenure of 5 years, which means one needs to ensure that his/her account is active during this period. If one wants to continue with the RD account even after 5 years, there is a provision for the same under which the RD can be extended to 5 more years making the maximum tenure is 10 years.  Minimum and Maximum Deposit A recurring deposit is one of the most preferred investment tools to earn good returns on your monthly investment. The minimum deposit is kept very low to ensure that it’s under the budget of people who are often skeptical about the deposit amount and rate of interest. As per the post office RD rules, the minimum deposit is Rs. 10 per month and the maximum deposit has got no limit. One can increase the deposit amount in multiples of Rs. 5, ensuring that they invest whatever amount is feasible. Dates of Deposit A post office RD requires a total of 60 deposits during the tenure, i.e. one deposit every month for 5 years. The first deposit is made when the user opens the account following the subsequent monthly deposits to be made on or before a particular date, depending on the date the account was opened. Coming down to the exact dates, individuals who open their account between the 1st and 5th of a month must make the monthly deposits every month for the next 5 years. Accounts opened after the 15th of a particular month are needed to make the payments between the 16th and the last day of subsequent months. For making deposits, one can use the model of demand draft, pay order or a cheque. Penalties on Delayed RD Deposits A post office RD allows the account holder with a maximum of 4 such defaults; in case he/she fails to make the 5th monthly payment in his/her account, the account becomes inactive (discontinued account). Such discontinued accounts can be revived within 2 months of the 5th default. According to the post office RD rule, a default penalty of 5 paise is charged for every 5 rupees which are going to be deposited in the account. The bank charges this fine to be paid in addition to the previously missed deposit amount in order to activate the account. Post Office RD Rebate To lure people into depositing money in advance, a rebate on advance deposits is provided by the post office RD. The rebates might not sum up to a big amount but can contribute to saving a considerable amount for other purposes.  Comparison of Interest Rates of Various Post Office Savings Schemes Scheme Interest Rate (Applicable from 01/04/2024) Minimum Investment Maximum Investment Eligibility Tax Implications Post Office Savings Account 4% per annum (p.a.)

Rural development is one of the main objectives of Panchayati Raj and this has been established in all states of India except Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram, in all Union Territories except Delhi. and certain other areas. These areas include: The scheduled areas and the tribal areas in the states The hill area of Manipur for which a district council exists and Darjeeling district of West Bengal for which Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council exists What is a PRI? Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) is a system of rural local self-government in India. Local Self Government is the management of local affairs by such local bodies who have been elected by the local people. PRI was constitutionalized through the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 to build democracy at the grass roots level and was entrusted with the task of rural development in the country. In its present form and structure PRI has completed 26 years of existence. However, a lot remains to be done in order to further decentralization and strengthen democracy at the grass root level. How did Panchayati Raj System Evolve in India? Vedic Era: In the old Sanskrit scriptures, word ‘Panchayatan’ has been mentioned which means a group of five persons, including a spiritual man. Gradually the concept of the inclusion of a spiritual man in such groups vanished. In the Rigveda, there is a mention of Sabha, Samiti and Vidatha as local self-units. These were the democratic bodies at the local level. The king used to get the approval of these bodies regarding certain functions and decisions. Epic Era indicates the two great epic periods of India, that is, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The study of Ramayana indicates that the administration was divided into two parts – Pur and Janpad or city and village. In the whole of the state, there was also a Caste Panchayat and one person elected by the Caste Panchayat was a member of the king’s Council of Ministers. Self-government of a village finds ample expression in the ‘Shanti Parva’ of the Mahabharata; in the Manu Smriti as well as in Kautilya’s Arthashastra. As per the Mahabharata, over and above the village, there were units of 10, 20, 100, and 1,000 village groups. ‘Gramik’ was the chief official of the village, ‘Dashap’ was the chief of ten villages, Vinshya Adhipati, Shat Gram Adhyaksha and Shat Gram Pati were the chiefs of 20, 100, and 1,000 villages, respectively. They collected the local taxes and were responsible for the defense of their villages. Ancient Period: There is a mention of village panchayats in Kautilya’s Arthashastra. The town was referred to as Pur and its chief was the Nagarik. Local bodies were free from any royal interference. During the Mauryan and Post-Mauryan periods too, the headman, assisted by a council of elders, continued to play a prominent role in the village life. The system continued through the Gupta period, though there were certain changes in the nomenclature, as the district official was known as the vishya pati and the village headman was referred to as the grampati. Thus, in ancient India, there existed a well established system of local government which was run on a set pattern of traditions and customs. However, it is significant to note that there is no reference of women heading the panchayat or even participating as a member in the panchayat. Medieval Period: During the Sultanate period, the Sultans of Delhi divided their kingdom into provinces called ‘Vilayat’. For the governance of a village, there were three important officials – Mukkaddam for administration, Patwari for collection of revenues, and Choudhrie for settling disputes with the help of the Panch. The villages had sufficient powers as regards self governance in their territory. Casteism and feudalistic system of governance under the Mughal rule in the medieval period slowly eroded the self-government in villages. It is again noteworthy to note that even in the medieval period there is no mention of women participation in the local village administration. British Period: Under the British regime, village panchayats lost their autonomy and became weak. It is only from the year 1870 that India saw the dawn of representative local institutions. The famous Mayo’s resolution of 1870 gave impetus to the development of local institutions by enlarging their powers and responsibilities. The year 1870, introduced the concept of elected representatives, in urban municipalities. The revolt of 1857 had put the imperial finances under considerable strain and it was found necessary to finance local service out of local taxation. Therefore it was out of fiscal compulsion that Lord Mayo’s resolution on decentralization came to be adopted. Following the footsteps of Mayo, Lord Rippon in 1882 provided the much needed democratic framework to these institutions. All boards (then existing) were mandated to have a two-thirds majority of non-officials who had to be elected and the chairman of these bodies had to be from among the elected non-officials. This is considered to be the Magna Carta of local democracy in India. Local self-government institutions received a boost with the appointment of the Royal Commission on centralisation in 1907 under the Chairmanship of C.E.H. Hobhouse. The commission recognized the importance of panchayats at the village level. It is in this backdrop that the Montagu Chelmsford reforms of 1919 transferred the subject of local government to the domain of the provinces. The reform also recommended that as far as possible there should be a complete control in local bodies and complete possible independence for them from external control. These panchayats covered only a limited number of villages with limited functions and due to organisational and fiscal constraints they did not become democratic and vibrant institutions of local self government at the village level. However, by 1925, eight provinces had passed the Panchayat Acts and by 1926, six native States had also passed panchayat laws. Local bodies were given more powers and functions to impose taxes were reduced. But, the position of the local self-government institutions remained unaffected. Post–Independence Period: After the Constitution came into force, Article 40 made a mention of panchayats and Article 246 empowers the state legislature to legislate with respect to any subject relating to local self-government. However, this inclusion of panchayats into the Constitution was not unanimously agreed upon by the then decision-makers,
