      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The federal government has announced a reduction in profit rates for various National Savings schemes, as confirmed by a notification issued by the Ministry of Finance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Effective September 25, 2024, the new rates will impact savings accounts, special savings accounts, and defense savings schemes, all of which will decrease profit rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, regular income certificates and welfare savings certificates will also offer lower returns than previously available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The notification highlights that the annual profit for pensioners and martyr family welfare accounts will also be cut.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Specifically, the profit for pensioners’ benefits and martyr family welfare accounts has been reduced from 15.36% to 14.16%. Similarly, welfare savings certificates will now yield an annual profit of 14.16%, while the profit rate for regular income certificates has decreased from 14.52% to 12.72%.&lt;/p&gt;
