How tax on bank profit works in Pakistan

When your bank credits profit to a savings account, term deposit or certificate, it first deducts withholding tax under Section 151 of the Income Tax Ordinance and deposits it with FBR in your name. The rate depends only on whether you are on the Active Taxpayers List on the date the profit is paid.

Net profit = deposit ร— rate ร— (months รท 12) ร— (1 โˆ’ 20% or 40%)

Example: Rs 2,000,000 in a 1-year term deposit at 10%

Gross profit is Rs 200,000. A filer has Rs 40,000 deducted and receives Rs 160,000. A non-filer has Rs 80,000 deducted and receives Rs 120,000 โ€” Rs 40,000 less on the same deposit.

Is the tax final?

For individuals and AOPs whose yearly profit is up to Rs 5 million, the deduction is a final tax: you declare the profit in your return but don't pay more on it, and you can't claim it back. Above Rs 5 million, the deduction becomes an advance tax adjusted in your return. If you missed being on the ATL when profit was paid, see our guide to restoring filer status.

Bank deposit or National Savings?

Profit on National Savings certificates is taxed at 15% for filers and 30% for non-filers โ€” less than the 20% / 40% on bank deposits โ€” and Behbood, Pensioners' Benefit and Shuhada accounts are capped at 5%. Compare the after-tax figures with the National Savings profit calculator.

FAQ

Bank profit questions

How much tax is deducted on bank profit in Pakistan?
Banks deduct 20% withholding tax from profit paid to individuals on the Active Taxpayers List, and 40% from non-filers (Section 151). The rate went up from 15% on 1 July 2025 and is unchanged for 2026-27. For individuals this is a final tax on yearly profit up to Rs 5 million, so you don't pay anything more on it when you file.
Is tax deducted on Islamic (Meezan, Bank Islami) savings accounts too?
Yes. Profit on Islamic savings accounts and term deposits is taxed at the same 20% / 40% rates. The Sharia structure changes how the return is earned, not how it is taxed.
Is profit on National Savings certificates taxed at the same rate?
No. The 20% / 40% rates apply to profit paid by banks and financial institutions on deposits. Profit that individuals earn on National Savings (CDNS) schemes and government securities falls under the other profit-on-debt rate of Section 151: 15% for filers and 30% for non-filers. Check your scheme's terms, as a few schemes have their own rules.
Is Zakat also deducted from my savings account?
Banks deduct compulsory Zakat at 2.5% on the first day of Ramadan from savings and profit-bearing accounts above the government's notified Nisab, unless you have submitted a Zakat exemption declaration (CZ-50). Current accounts are not subject to this deduction.
What is the minimum profit rate on savings accounts?
The State Bank requires banks to pay at least a minimum profit rate, linked to the SBP policy rate, on conventional savings deposits. From 1 August 2026 this applies only to individual accounts with an average balance of up to Rs 10 million. Ask your bank for its current rate.
