(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Savings Bank (Investment Deposits) (Limits) Order 1977 (S.I. 1977/1210) by increasing, from £5,100 to £5,340, the limit on the annual amount which can be accepted by the Director of Savings from any person by way of deposit in an individual savings account at the National Savings Bank with effect from 6th April 2011.
These Regulations also amend the National Savings Bank Regulations 1972 (S.I. 1972/764). Regulation 5 aligns regulation 29L(2) of the National Savings Bank Regulations 1972 (which sets conditions as to who may open an individual savings account at the National Savings Bank) with regulation 10(2)(d) of the Individual Savings Account Regulations 1998(5) (which sets conditions as to who may invest in an individual savings account in accordance with the Individual Savings Account Regulations 1998). Regulation 6 removes the facility permitting customers to make cash deposits in individual savings accounts at savings bank offices.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is foreseen.
