Some questions aren't "what is this scheme" but "which one should I pick". Every figure on these pages is the same one already verified on the scheme or calculator page for each side — cross-checked, not retyped.
PPF vs Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana
Both are government-backed, tax-free savings accounts, but only one is open to everyone. Interest rates, deposit limits, tenure and who each account is actually for.
NPS vs Atal Pension Yojana
One is a market-linked account regulated by PFRDA; the other is a fixed, government-guaranteed pension. Who can join each, what they pay at 60, and the choice that actually applies to you.
Old vs New Tax Regime 2026-27
The new regime is the default under the Income-tax Act, 2025 and has lower rates and a bigger rebate; the old regime keeps deductions like section 123 and HRA. Which one actually costs you less depends on how much you can deduct.
