After a modest increase in the interest rate of EPFO, now the Modi Government has also increased the interest rate of the Small Savings Scheme. However, it also has the feeling that the common people have been made into owls. In the new interest rate, the interest rate on investments in the Post Office Small Savings Scheme has been increased by 70 basis points, i.e. 0.7 percent, but the PPF interest rate has not been increased. While most of the middle class families invest in PPF, they will not benefit from this announcement. Apart from PPF, the interest rates of Senior Citizen Savings Scheme, Monthly Income Savings Scheme, National Savings Certificate, Kisan Vikas Patra, Post Office Time Deposit and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana have been increased. .

However, in the last six months, loans, including home loans, have become three percent more expensive. This has increased the burden on the middle class. Against this, there is no benefit in saving.

Lalit will provide proof of assets of Congressmen abroad

Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi has created a political frenzy by announcing that Congressmen should send details of assets held abroad. Lalit Modi claimed that R. K. Dhawan, Sitaram Kesari, Motilal Vora, Satish Sarna, Narayan Dutt Tiwari are all middlemen of the Nehru-Gandhi family. You can ask Kamal Nath that all these leaders have properties abroad and I know everything. I can also send addresses and photos of these properties. Congressmen should stop fooling the people of India because everyone knows who the real traitors of the country are.

It is well known who helped Lalit Modi escape from India. It is also common knowledge that the government is showing laxity in bringing Lalit Modi back to India.
