Sanchayapatra Rates 2020

Sanchayapatra (Savings Instruments) is one of the major ways that the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh tackles the budget deficit or shortfall of revenue. Sanchayapatra has also opened a wide door of opportunity to the low and middle-income households. Since it is sold by the Government, it has long been the reliable means of investment for the Bangladeshi citizens. At the moment Sanchayapatra is getting more popular because the rate of interest offered by the commercial banks is very low. However, the buying of Sanchayapatra is not as easy as the past days. The Government has fixed some strict guidelines which must be fulfilled while purchasing Sanchayapatra. For example, the applicant must have a bank account and E-TIN to be able to purchase any Sanchayapatra scheme. Moreover, the Government has also hiked the tax at source from 5% to 10%.
