The interest rates on Pensioners' Benefit Accounts and Behbood Saving Certificates have been increased from 13.56 percent to 15 percent.

The rates on all saving schemes would be revised from time to time to adjust rates, taking into account market situation instead of every six months.
The CNDS also moved a proposal to the government for including disabled in the Behbood Saving Certificates.
The Finance Ministry now seems committed towards launching new saving schemes and certificates, including short-term investment scheme in an effort to bridge the gap between short- and long-term investment schemes.
