Article 7[Q].
Each single payment must amount to at least 50 kreutzers or a multiple of 50 kreutzers.
The balance in favour of a depositor can at no time amount to more than 1,000 florins including deposits paid in and interest added to the capital.
Deposits of 50 kreutzers can be made in postage stamps, or in special postal savings stamps as soon as such stamps are issued by the Minister of Commerce. These stamps are to be fastened on forms supplied gratuitously.
Article 8[R].
The rate of interest for savings deposits, which is never to exceed 3 per cent per annum, after having been placed before the special Council (art. 1) will be fixed by the Minister of Commerce in concert with the Ministers of the Interior and of Finances, by way of ordinances, and every alteration is to be published in the Imperial Law Pamphlets (Reichs-Gesetz-Blatte) in the official part of the «Vienna Gazette» (Wiener Zeitung) and in the various official gazettes.
The new rate of interest will begin to come into operation on the 1st and 16th of the month which follows its publication and will also apply to deposits made previously.
