Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said on Wednesday he will reconsider the yield rates of postal savings scheme. The government put a curb on buying savings instruments by individuals up to Tk 2.5 million, which was later raised to Tk 5.0 million. For a joint account holder, the limit is Tk 10 million. Some people even bought savings instruments worth Tk 200 million, which is unacceptable. There was no control over it, he said, adding for this reason, the government imposed a limit on it. When cap was put on the procurement of savings tools, many people switched over to postal savings scheme with a yield rate of nearly 12 per cent. Steps will be taken so that none opts to buy savings instruments instead of depositing money in the banks.
