    What's the story

    The State Bank of India, India's largest lender, offers many short-term and long-term saving schemes to its customers.

    One of its popular schemes is the SBI Tax Savings Scheme, 2006.

    Resident Indians as individuals or as the head of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) are eligible to apply for it.

    From interest rate to tenure, here are six things you should know about it.

    Rules about minimum/maximum amounts and rate of interest

    Amount: An applicant needs to deposit a minimum amount of Rs. 1,000, or in multiples thereof. However, the maximum deposit must not exceed Rs. 1,50,000 in a year.

    ROI: The rate of interest, under this scheme is the same as fixed/term deposits. The prevailing interest rate is 6.25% (for general depositors), and 6.75% (for senior citizens), for retail deposits below Rs. 2 crore.
