Small saving schemes interest rates slashed by 0.1%

The government has slashed the interest rates on small saving schemes by 0.1 percent for the April-June quarter. However, interest on savings deposits has been retained at 4 percent annually. The interest rate for Public Provident Fund and National Savings Certificate will be at 7.9 percent against the existing rate of 8 percent. The move on schemes like PPF, Kisan Vikas Patra and Sukanya Samriddhi scheme would prompt banks to cut their deposit rates.
