Tweak the formula for small savings rates: Business Line 6th April 2021

 

There’s a need to de-link the small savings rates from the G-Sec market. Also, the setting period needs reconsideration

The announcement relating to further lowering of the small savings rate did come as a shock to those who depend on fixed income for a living. This would have been a double-whammy as rates were lowered by 70-140 basis points (bps) last year and the new cuts were in the range of 90-110 bps.
