It allows a retired person having a lump sum to invest it at a reasonably good interest rate. If you are 60 years old (or took voluntary retirement at 55), you are eligible for the scheme.
Minimum Investment under the scheme is Rs. 1,000 and maximum Rs. 15 lakhs.
The amount invested into SCSS is eligible for tax deduction under Section 80C thus reducing your taxable income in the year of investment.
Happy Investing!!
