Present report is concerning with investigation of effect of different sintering profiles on Pb based BLZT ceramics. The material powder of selected composition (Ba{sub 0.795}La{sub 0.005}Pb{sub 0.20}Ti{sub 0.90}Zr{sub 0.10}O{sub 3}) was prepared by solid state reaction route and then powder was compacted in the form of circular discs. The discs were then sintered at different temperatures (1325 deg. C for 4h, 1325 deg. C for 15min+1200 deg. C for 4h). Improved dielectric and ferroelectric properties were observed for samples sintered at 1200 deg. C. Shifting in T{sub c} to higher temperature could be related to enhanced tetragonality, which was further confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. All these improvements evidences that there is less Pb loss in case of modified sintering profile.
