NSC certificates are certificates of deposits issued by the government of India. Any Indian can deposit cash in NSC. This money would be used by the government for its cash needs. NSC gives us a return of 8% per annum compounded every half year and we can get our amount inclusive of the interest at the end of 6 years. 6 years is the lock in period on NSC certificates. Since these certificates are issued by our government they are extremely safe.

Safety = Very high because backed by the government

Returns on Investment = Average - Our Inflation is 11% and the returns on NSC is only 8%

Investment Strong points:

a. Extremely Safe

b. A decent amount deposited every year can help us make up a good corpus over the long run.

Downside:

a. Only average returns.

b. Long lock in period. We cannot take out our cash before 6 years

c. The Interest earned on NSC is taxable
