Government thought of ways of robbing old people, since many are not earning and don't pay income tax. Viola there came a new scheme.

The maximum time period for SCSS is five years. Although, once maturity is attained, this duration can get extended for a time period of three years.

Rates are going up, if it has lockin for 5 years, you should wait for another quarter, if you can use it for one year to earn that same interest anywhere, you may get best rates for Next 5 years

Even if the rate is 10% it wont be the best as interest is not compounding

A senior citizen’s priorities and his mindset are different. They don't want to make fortunes out of their hard earned money at this stage. For him peace of mind and guaranteed returns are most important. They have lived long enough and have the wisdom to manage with whatever little income they are getting. But if his principal is eroded no one is going to help him or the least he wants is to be at the mercy of others.
