National Savings Schemes (NSS) refer to a variety of savings instruments, primarily deposits, established by Government of India to promote savings among individuals and direct these funds towards financing the budget deficit of the central and state governments. Government attracts savers to the schemes by providing various incentives such as guarantee of the principal, tax-saving, protection against attachment, higher than prevailing interest rates on deposits and regular income. Some of the schemes are also designed to nudge social behavior, such as Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana to promote financial well-being of girl child.
