There is a lockin period of two and half years after which, the KVPs can be en-cashed along with interest that is accrued thereon. These Certificates are available in the denominations of Rs. 100, Rs. 500, Rs. 1000, Rs. 5000, Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 50,000 and the maturity value of the KVP is written on the face of the certificate. The revenue that the Government obtains on KVPs will be utilized towards welfare schemes of Farmers community. The various salient features of KVPs are:
