KVP - Kisan Vikas Patra - Interest Calculation per year

Hello,

How to calculate interest for Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) - for each year? 

Is the compounded interest calculated every 6 months or every year? 

There is an old excel sheet in this forum somewhere, but it is password protected and also does not show the calculation part.

Thanks

How would interest for first FY be calculated when the KVP is bought close to end of that FY.

Thanks
