With a tenure of three years, this investment is open to the general public, and profits are disbursed at the end of every six months. The last revision of profit rates for these certificates occurred on May 14, 2024, and remains in effect until further notice.
Revised Profit Rates for Special Savings Certificates
According to the revised policy, the profit rate for the first five months is set at 15.7% per annum, while it increases to 16.6% for the sixth month. The breakdown is as follows:- Profit for Months 1 to 5: 15.7% per annum
- Profit for Month 6: 16.6% per annum
Tax Deductions on Profits
The tax rate on profits varies based on the investor's tax status:- Filers: Those listed in the Active Tax Payer List (ATL) are subject to a 15% withholding tax on profits.
- Non-Filers: Individuals not listed in the ATL are charged a 30% withholding tax on profits.
