Profit on saving schemes reduced and hence axed the so called vulnerable class of society who depend on such profits in their old age, out of their life long savings. Where as govt loses billions on keeping a large battalion of ministers/advisors and billions on feeding through rebates/ grants to almost all the white elephants, like PIA, Railways, Pakistan Steel, Wapda and what not.
Very sad news about reduce NSC profit vulnerable class will effect sensitively already all peoples are effected due to dearness.
I think in near future national savings’ customers will only able to withdraw their principle amount only because the govt has only way to continue reduce profit rate of poor segment of society incl pensioners… anyway poor decision taken by the govt
It is very shamfull decision for govt to reduce profit rate for nsc..already old ages people facing crucial problems in their life .govt should takeback their decision and increase profit rates for natinal saving scheme.
