SCSS is a retirement income product, not a compounding growth product. The investor receives quarterly interest and the principal separately at maturity.

As a CA note, SCSS interest is taxable. Senior citizens should compare Section 80TTB, Form 15H eligibility, TDS, and slab impact before relying on net cash flow.
