National Savings Certificate (NSC) Maturity and Premature Withdrawal Rules

Maturity & Withdrawal Rules

NSCs have fixed terms of 5 or 10 years; premature withdrawal is generally not allowed. Exceptions:

  • Death of holder: Nominee/legal heir may encash anytime with documents.
  • Medical emergencies: Severe illness of holder/dependent; medical proof required.
  • Change of residence abroad: Permanent emigration to non-resident status; proof required.

In all other cases, NSCs cannot be broken before maturity. For liquidity needs, consider more flexible investments.
