The is a big issue with this. There are many pensioners who believe there is no tax on behbud certificates. When I told them they checked with NSC and staff at NSC informed that there is no tax. Unfortunately no one is aware about this. Many pensioners have major profits from Behbud and they don’t file return. Some believing it is not taxable and others avoiding tax. I even told FBR about this discrepancy and asked them better to have a lower rate but at source but I don’t believe they care. A lot of tax is not being collected this way. Your thoughts.

Tax on Bahbood Savings Certificate or Pensioner’s Benefit Account will be calculated at the rates specified in Division I of Part I of the First Schedule the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, subject to clause (6) of Part III of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
