Senior Citizens Interest Rate Safe
NEW DELHI: With most banks showing reluctance to reduce their deposit rates as it faces stiff competition from the mass popular small savings schemes, the Finance Ministry on Monday said that the government will keep in mind the interest of senior citizens and girl child while reviewing the small deposit schemes as well.
“The interest of small savers, the interest of senior citizens, interest of girl child scheme, all these aspects will be taken into account. Social security component of small savings schemes is very important and government will keep that in mind,” Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said.
The Finance Ministry last week said it would review the small savings schemes. There has been a call from bankers to lower interest rate on small savings as a high rate on such schemes run by the government makes fixed deposits of banks uncompetitive.
Smalls saving schemes include Post Office Monthly Income Scheme, PPF, Post Office Time Deposit Scheme, Senior Citizen’s Savings Scheme, Post Office Savings Account, and Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts.
With the RBI reducing its key rate forcing banks to cut its deposit rates by bank, the small saving deposits continue to command an interest rate of 8.4 to 9.3 per cent.

Towards an Age-friendly World, WHO guidelines
A key strategy to facilitate the inclusion of older persons is
to make our world more age-friendly. An age-friendly world enables
people of all ages to actively participate in community activities and
treats everyone with respect, regardless of their age. It is a place
that makes it easy for older people to stay connected to people that are
important to them. And it helps people stay healthy and active even at
the oldest ages and provides appropriate support to those who can no
longer look after themselves.
Many cities and communities are already taking active steps towards becoming more age-friendly.
