What is SCSS Scheme
The Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS) for senior citizens is run by the post office. This is a very popular scheme for investment. People trust it because it gives better returns than FD.

You can invest up to 15 lakh rupees in it. For example if you have invested 15 lakhs for 5 years. So the total amount on its maturity will be Rs 21,43,447.
What is ‘WECare’ scheme
‘We Care’ scheme for senior citizens has been started by SBI. This scheme has started from 12 May. It will get 0.80 percent more interest than the 5-year normal FD. In this, you will get 6.50 percent annual interest. This plan is for 5 and 10 years. You can choose it according to your convenience. Only those above 60 years of age can invest in this scheme. Up to Rs 5 lakh deposited in the bank is also safe in case the bank defaults. Under this scheme you can invest up to Rs 2 crore.
