Lock-in period: KVP has a lock-in period of 2 years and 6 months. After 2.5 years and thereafter in any block of six months, the customer can opt for premature encashment of the KVP certificates. TDS will not be deducted on the maturity amount.

Non-Resident Indians are not eligible to purchase Kisan Vikas Patra as there is no such provision in the rules.

The government recently revised rates on several small savings schemes. The rates on KVP was raised from 7.3% to 7.7%.

KVP was re-introduced in 2014 to encourage people, who may have banked and unbanked savings to invest in this instrument. In his maiden Budget Speech in the Lok Sabha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had then said that KVP was a very popular instrument among small savers and was being re-introduced to promote saving.

The government had said in 2014 that it had no proposal to separately tax benefit on KVP. However, the income on KVP is taxable as per existing provisions.
