DEAR SIR
KISAN VIKAS PATRA HAS NO INCOME TAX BENEFIT IT SAYS THAT THE TDS WILL BE LESS AT TIME OF MATURITY AS PER I KNOW TDS IS CHARGED ONLY IF THE INTERES AMT IS MORE THAN 5000/ SO LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH TO INVEST SO THAT TDS IS NOT APLICABLE

I have just relocated to another city. I have been having difficulties in encashment of my Kisan Vikas Patra which I had invested thinking that I will be able to encash whenever I need. The post office here says that I have to transfer all my certificates from the original post office which is a very cumbersome process.

Manisha Kumar [ 01Jan09]

I want to buy a KVP of 1 lac for my niece aged 9 yrs in Delhi by local cheque. She is located in some other city.

My question is should I buy in the name jointly with her mother. And how and when can I transfer this to the post office of their city?
If they encash it after 2 and half yrs how much they will get.
