Government withdraws interest rate cut on small savings, says ‘orders issued by oversight’

@the_news_21

Few hours after the order issued cutting interest rates on small savings schemes, including NSC and PPF, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the order has been withdrawn.

“Interest rates of small savings schemes of GoI shall continue to be at the rates which existed in the last quarter of 2020-2021, ie, rates that prevailed as of March 2021. Orders issued by oversight shall be withdrawn,” she tweeted.

On Wednesday, the government had cut rates by up to 1.1% for the first quarter of 2021-22 in line with falling fixed deposit rates of banks. Interest rate on Public Provident Fund (PPF) had been reduced by 0.7% to 6.4% while the order clarified that National Savings Certificate (NSC) would now earn 0.9 less at 5.9%.

  1. Active individuals across diverse disciplines are embracing CBD [url=https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/pages/store-locator ]cbd shop near me[/url] as part of their rehabilitation protocols. Rigorous physical exercise places considerable stress on muscles and joints. Cannabidiol-infused balms and oral supplements offer a botanical alternative to traditional recovery approaches. With the World Anti-Doping Agency having eliminated CBD from its forbidden list, more competitors feel assured integrating it into their schedule.
