Before-tax profit = Rs 5 lakh × yearly rate ÷ 12. Bank rates November 2026; HabibMetro rate from its September 2026 sheet, the latest it had published.
Every conventional bank must pay individuals at least 10.50% on savings up to Rs 1 crore after the State Bank raised the policy rate to 12% on 27 October 2026. So on an ordinary savings account, Rs 5 lakh earns about the same at HBL, MCB, UBL, Allied, NBP or Bank of Punjab. The differences show up in monthly-profit term deposits, where HabibMetro, Bank Al Habib, Soneri and JS Bank pay more, while MCB pays much less.
5 Lakh Profit After Tax: Filer vs Non-Filer
At the standard 10.50% savings rate:
| Filer (20% tax) | Non-filer (40% tax) | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly profit before tax | Rs 4,375 | Rs 4,375 |
| Tax deducted per month | Rs 875 | Rs 1,750 |
| Monthly profit you keep | Rs 3,500 | Rs 2,625 |
| Yearly profit you keep | Rs 42,000 | Rs 31,500 |
A non-filer loses Rs 10,500 more a year on Rs 5 lakh than a filer. If you are not on FBR’s Active Taxpayers List, see how to become a filer.
5 Lakh Profit in Islamic Banks
Islamic banks are not bound by the 10.50% minimum. They declare profit after each month ends, so their rates are lower and change every month:
| Bank | Account | Yearly rate | Monthly profit on Rs 5 lakh | Filer (after 20% tax) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meezan Bank | COII 1.5 years (Oct 2026) | 10.12% | Rs 4,217 | Rs 3,373 |
| Meezan Bank | Aamdan Certificate (Oct 2026) | 9.18% | Rs 3,825 | Rs 3,060 |
| BankIslami | 1-year term deposit, monthly (Oct 2026) | 8.51% | Rs 3,546 | Rs 2,837 |
| BankIslami | Islami Bachat savings (Oct 2026) | 6.91% | Rs 2,879 | Rs 2,303 |
| Meezan Bank | Rupee Saving Account (Oct 2026) | 6.79% | Rs 2,829 | Rs 2,263 |
| Dubai Islamic Bank | Savings (Oct 2026) | 6.35% | Rs 2,646 | Rs 2,117 |
| Al Baraka Bank | Savings (Oct 2026) | 6.00% | Rs 2,500 | Rs 2,000 |
Rates declared by each bank for October 2026.
5 Lakh in National Savings vs Bank
| National Savings (Qomi Bachat) scheme | Yearly rate | Monthly profit on Rs 5 lakh (before tax) |
|---|---|---|
| Behbood Savings Certificate (widows, seniors, disabled) | 12.96% | Rs 5,400 |
| Regular Income Certificate | 12.12% | Rs 5,050 |
| Sarwa Islamic Savings Account | 11.84% | Rs 4,933 |
| National Savings Account | 10.00% | Rs 4,167 |
CDNS rates effective 21 October 2026. Tax is also deducted from National Savings profit. Behbood is only for eligible investors.
On Rs 5 lakh, the Regular Income Certificate pays about Rs 675 a month more than a bank savings account, but your money is locked and early encashment reduces the profit. For a Shariah-compliant option, the Sarwa Islamic Savings Account pays far more than any Islamic bank.
Rs 5 Lakh for One Year: Profit at Maturity
If you do not need monthly income, some 1-year deposits pay more when you take all the profit at the end:
| Option | Yearly rate | Profit after 1 year (before tax) | Filer (after 20% tax) |
|---|---|---|---|
| HabibMetro 1-year term deposit (Sept 2026 sheet) | 11.50% | Rs 57,500 | Rs 46,000 |
| JS Bank 1-year term deposit | 11.32% | Rs 56,600 | Rs 45,280 |
| Bank Al Habib Salana Munafa | 11.00% | Rs 55,000 | Rs 44,000 |
| Soneri Salana Amdani Account | 11.00% | Rs 55,000 | Rs 44,000 |
| Bank of Punjab 1-year term deposit | 10.25% | Rs 51,250 | Rs 41,000 |
| Savings account (no lock-in) | 10.50% | Rs 52,500 | Rs 42,000 |
Bank rates November 2026 (HabibMetro: September 2026 sheet).
How to Earn More on Rs 5 Lakh
- Use a monthly-profit account if you need income. PLS savings accounts at HBL, BOP and others pay only twice a year; Mahana Amdan, Behtareen Munafa and similar accounts pay monthly.
- Compare term deposits carefully. A 1-year deposit at MCB (7.45%) pays less than any savings account, while HabibMetro or Bank Al Habib pay more.
- Become a filer. It saves you Rs 10,500 a year on Rs 5 lakh.
- Deposit protection: the Deposit Protection Corporation protects up to Rs 10 lakh per depositor per bank, so 5 lakh in one bank is fully covered.
- Check rates every month. Bank rates follow the State Bank policy rate, and Islamic bank rates are declared monthly.
Compare with National Savings: the same Rs 5 lakh in a National Savings scheme can pay more each month (tax 15% for filers, 30% for non-filers). See Rs 5 lakh profit in National Savings, the latest National Savings profit rates, or calculate your own amount on the bank profit calculator.
