at attractive interest rates. Options like the Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Certificate (NSC), and Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS) offer tax deductions and benefits under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These schemes cater to various financial goals, such as retirement, education, and emergency funds, and are considered safe due to government backing.</p></div></div></div><div><div
