How this is calculated

Formula

closingₙ = (closingₙ₋₁ + depositₙ) × (1 + r)

closingₙ
= balance at the end of account year n
depositₙ
= the year’s deposit in years 1–15, nil after
r
= annual rate as a decimal

With your numbers

  1. 1Rate as a decimalr = rate ÷ 1008.20% ÷ 100 = 0.0820
  2. 2Deposit years 1–15D × [((1 + r)¹⁵ − 1) / r] × (1 + r)₹1,00,000 a year grows to ₹29,83,993
  3. 3Years 16–21, nothing addedbalance₁₅ × (1 + r)⁶₹29,83,993 × 1.6046 = ₹47,88,079
Maturity amount₹47,88,079
  • About ₹18,04,087 — 38% of the maturity amount — is earned in the last six years, when nothing is being paid in.
  • Each year’s deposit is assumed made by 5 April, so it earns the full year’s interest. Interest is reckoned on the lowest balance between the 5th and the month end, so a deposit made later earns less.
  • The deduction is under Section 123 (formerly 80C), within the ₹1.5 lakh pool shared with PPF, EPF, ELSS and life premiums, and only under the old regime.
