What is Kisan Vikas Patra? 

In 1988, Kisan Vikas Patra was launched as a money-saving plus investment scheme by the Indian government. This scheme was relaunched in 2014 with some modifications. After the new modification, this scheme made KYC documents such as Aadhaar and PAN cards compulsory for all investors. All the individuals who wish to invest Rs. 50,000 must produce a PAN card, and the investment exceeding Rs. 10 Lakhs must produce an income certificate. 

Kisan Vikas Patra allows investors to make a minimum of Rs. 1000 rupee as an investment. This scheme does not have any upper limit on the investment amount. The ideal maturity tenure of the KVP is 124 months. However, premature withdrawals or encashment are allowed under specified circumstances. Any individuals or joint account holders can purchase the Kisan Vikas Patra. It is also issued to minors under the guardianship of adults. After nine years and four months of the date of issue of Kisan Vikas Patra, the investment corpus is doubled. 

What is Kisan Vikas Patra Premature Withdrawal? 

Kisan Vikas Patra works as a pledge to the government of India. Therefore, forfeiting the certificate, transferring, or even breaking this bond is against the law. There are certain scenarios like the death of the investors in the case of the single certificate holder or either or both of the certificate holders before the end of the term. After the passing away of the principal investor, the nominee can initiate the procedure of the encashment of the Kisan Vikas Patra. 

The encashment of the Kisan Vikas Patra needs to be done through the proper channels such as a court of law, or it needs to be forfeited through any Gazetted government officer. Aside from the maturity period, the KVP also follows the lock-in period, which is two and a half years. The certificate can be forfeited only after the lock-in period is over. Once the certificate is forfeited, the simple interest at the time will be calculated and paid to the nominee of the investor. 

If the investor wants to forfeit the Kisan Vikas Patra, they can do it. The forfeit procedure remains the same. 

Three Things To Keep In Mind Before Opting For Kisan Vikas Patra Premature Withdrawal

  • The Lock-in period must be overserved for the premature encashment. After the end of the lock-in period, the amount can be encashed in six-month time frames, depending upon the amount. At the time of each encashment, the simple rate of interest at that time will be taken into consideration.

  • Instead of encashment, you can also choose to transfer it from one person’s name to another after the due permission from the postmaster. 

  • The TDS will not be levied on the investors at the time of the disbursal of the amount. The amount will be considered the beneficiary’s income and will attract tax as per their tax slab. 

Kisan Vikas Patra Premature Withdrawal Rate

  • If the premature withdrawal is made after one year of purchasing the Kisan Vikas Patra, investors will not earn any profit or interest on the amount invested. Investors will also be liable to penalties imposed by the post office. 

  • Withdrawals done after between one year to two and half years will be eligible to receive the encashment amount. It will be calculated with the reduced interest rate. 

  • After the lock-in period, which is after two and half years, the premature withdrawal will not be eligible for any penalty. The interest rate on the principal amount will be the same as the one mentioned on the Kisan Vikas Patra.
