Experts believe that both financial and monetary support is needed to regain the growth momentum. Reduction in interest of small savings schemes will reduce the cost of borrowing of the government, which will give support to the economy. Both the Reserve Bank and Banks are in favor of a cut in interest rates. Let us tell you that before the Assembly elections of 5 states, the interest rates of small savings schemes were cut on 31 March, but on the very next day, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman withdrew the decision, stating this as a mistake.
