Bangladesh post office savings bank


Bangladesh post office provides savings banking facilities to the mass people along with its principal services. As we know post office has numerous number of branches in root level. It has branches in every District & Thana level. It is very much easier to reach mass people for financial inclusion through government post office channel. I am in doubt that, most of the people don’t know regarding savings banking facility of post office. It provides lucrative interest rate rather than the conventional banking. Currently it provides 7.5% simple interest rate for customer’s savings bank account. One customer can deposit maximum of 30,00,000/= taka in one name or singly. And maximum 60,00,000/= taka in joint name. It’s also provides fixed term deposit as below manner:

Can be nominated to one or more person:

Fixed deposit
Rate of Profit (%)
Rate of SSP (%)
Total Rate
of Profit (%)
At the end of 1st year
10.40%
0.00%
10.40%
At the end of 2nd year
11.40%
0.00%
11.40%
At the end of 3rd year
12.40%
0.84%
13.24%

If a depositor withdraws profit after every 6 months the interest rate would be

Fixed deposit
Rate of Profit (%)
At the end of 1st year
10.00%
At the end of 2nd year
10.50%
At the end of 3rd year
11.00%

***10% source tax will be deducted from profit as per circular.

I strongly believe that if government takes proper initiative to promote post office saving banking, it will be faster spread among mass people & government will be achieved financial inclusion goal rapidly.

  5. How the interest will be paid on 7.5% simple interest rate for customer’s post office savings bank account? I have heard from one of GPO-Dhaka guy that this will be paid once and when a post office savings bank account book is closed after opening, is it true? The guy also said i can deposit and withdraw any amount of money like other bank. It should be paid on monthly/quarterly/half yearly or yearly basis otherwise no one will wait for it until closing then what is the point of keeping money there?
