National Savings Certificate (NSC) and Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) are two different national savings schemes, and their betterment depends on many factors, such as
●    NSC is only available to Indian residents while KVP is available to both Indian residents as well as Trusts
●    You can start NSC with as low as Rs. 100 whereas KVP has a little higher minimum requirement of Rs. 1,000
●    The maturity of NSC and KVP is five years and 10+ years, respectively
●    Premature withdrawal is unavailable in NSC whereas you can do that after 30 months of starting KVP
●    While both the schemes provide loan facility, tax benefits are not associated with KVP
●    You have to subscribe to NSC only in post offices whereas you can subscribe to KVP in either a post office or a bank offering the scheme
