The Finance Ministry on Wednesday had lowered interest charge by as much as 1.1 per cent throughout numerous small financial savings schemes together with National Savings Certificates (NSC) and Public Provident Fund (PPF). The steepest fall of 1.1 per cent was effected in the one-year time period deposit. The new charge was introduced all the way down to 4.4 per cent as in comparison with 5.5 per cent. Interest charge on Public Provident Fund (PPF) was lowered by 0.7 per cent to six.4 per cent whereas National Savings Certificate (NSC) was to earn 0.9 per cent much less at 5.9 %.
While some folks in the social media have appreciated the roll-back in interest charge discount withdrawal, some Twitterati doesn’t appear to take an affable view.
Interest charges on small financial savings, PPF and Senior Citizen Schemes to stay unchanged. Rates as on 31.03.21 to proceed. Thank you FM @nsitharaman for hanging down bureaucratic oversight. https://t.co/dQtT9i5vbo pic.twitter.com/Y5sI4qQQ5X

Was it #AprilFoolsDay prank by Modi Gov to cut charges on small financial savings in the center of pandemic & essential state elections? Or was it the same old leap earlier than you assume? Decision reversed, calling it inadvertent mistake. Really?
