ISLAMABAD: Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) has achieved a net target of Rs336 billion by April 20, of the fiscal year 2018-19 as compared to last year’s collection of Rs115 billion.
The total savings held by the CDNS stood at Rs1,672 billion as of April 20, while the directorate had Rs746 billion by the same date, same period last year, a senior official of the CDNS told APP here on Tuesday.
Due to the rationalisation of CDNS certificates’ rates, the directorate has collected more savings than expected, therefore it will increase the set target of Rs 224 billion for May 2019, the official added.
The official added the CDNS notified the upward revision in the profit rates for various saving certificates, which has been applicable from January 1, increasing the trend of people investing more at the CDNS.
“The instant revision was made in the backdrop of the current market scenario and in accordance with the government’s policy to provide a market-based competitive rate of return to the investors of National Savings”, the official said.
He further said, as per the notification issued by the federal government, the new rates for Defence Savings Certificate, Special Saving Certificate, Regular Income Certificate, Savings Accounts, Shuhada Family Welfare Account have been revised upward at an average of 12.47 per cent, 11.40 per cent, 12 per cent, 8.5 per cent, 14.28 per cent respectively.
The official said the profit rate of return for specialised savings schemes like “Bahbood Savings Certificates” and “Pensioners’ Benefit Account” has also been revised upward and fixed at 14.28 per cent respectively in order to provide a safety net to specialized segments of the society.
He said the proposal to launch registered prize bonds, which offer coupons as well as prizes, was also under consideration.

No comments
please inform,any news of increase in profit rates of different saving accounts
I think nothing
to safe guard the interest of senior citizen and price hike . rate must be revised .
Not only interest rate but limit of 5 million must be increased for Behbood and pensioners who have no other safe options to meet their income needs
Why government is not increasing profit rates?
Nsc is advertising about acheiving deposits targets due to increase in rate of interest since 1st January 2019. You should also lookafter the interest of your customers who badly effected by devaluation of Rupees. SBP has raised rate of interest from 10 % to 12.25 % and organisation has not passed the benefits to its customers, when SBP has also decleared the inflation in next year will remain about 8.30%. Please increase profit rate accordingly and do justice with your customers.
no profit increase yet?
Why profits was not announce on first june 2019 .
Why profits was not announce on first june 2019 . Senior citizen are more distrub with price hike .p
After the recent increase in profit by SBP, the investors specially th ie senior citizens are expecting an increase of 2.5%
So far nothing significant has been done for public specially the senior citizens.
please increase the profit of national saving scheme.
Profit rate at NSC and RIC has not yet revised. This is a question mark
In July rates should have a significant increase due to inflation in the market as well as dollar instability
very disappointing increase
