The Union Ministry of Finance in 2019 announced a National Savings Scheme (Monthly Income Account). In this scheme, an amount of ₹9 lakhs maximum can be deposited in a joint account. The interest from this deposit will enable a monthly income of ₹5700 for five years. Or in five years the depositor can earn ₹5700 X 60 = 3,42,000 only as interest against a deposition of ₹9 lakhs in the joint monthly income scheme account. And the maximum amount that can be deposited in a single monthly income scheme is ₹4.5 lakhs. With that deposit, the depositor can earn a monthly income of ₹2850 for five years. Or in five years the depositor will receive an amount of ₹2850 X 60 = ₹1,71,000.
G.S.R. 917 (E): In exercise of the power mentioned in section 3A of the “Government Savings Promotion Act, 1873”, the Central Government hereby launches the following scheme namely National Savings Scheme (Monthly Income Account), 2019.

- To open the account the minimum amount of deposit has to be 1000 or any amount in the multiple of 1000.
- The maximum limit of deposit for a single amount is 4.5 lakhs and that too for a joint account is 9 lakhs. This means all deposits taken together shall not exceed 4.5 lakhs for a single account and 9 lakhs for a joint account.
