Kisan Vikas Patra at 7.5%: How long will your money take to double in 2026? · livemint.com

The Kisan Vikas Patra, or KVP, is a special savings scheme offered by the government.

It works like a promise: you give the government some money, and after a long time, the government gives you back double that money.

Right now, the scheme pays 7.5 rupees of interest for every 100 rupees each year.

Because of this rate, your money doubles in 115 months, which is about 9 years and 7 months.

You can start with as little as ₹1,000.

There is no limit on how much money you can put in.

You can open this account at post offices or authorised banks.

If you need your money back early, you can close the account after 2 years and 6 months.

The scheme is good for people who want safe, predictable savings and don't mind waiting a long time.

It is not meant for people who want their money to grow very fast.
