Senior Citizens Saving Scheme
Also known as SCSS
Introduced in 2004 by the Govt. of India, SCSS offers a steady stream of income for individuals over 60 years old. As it is a government-backed scheme, there is minimal risk associated with SCSS. Individuals can apply for this scheme in post offices and public and private banks.

Where this comes from. This page summarises public data from the official myScheme portal and organises it so you can find schemes quickly. We show the summary and who the scheme is for. We do not publish benefit amounts, detailed eligibility rules or the document checklist here, those live on the official portal and can change. Always confirm the details and apply on the official myScheme page. SchemesForMe is an independent directory and is not a government body.
