Savings Rates de-regulated

Savings Deposit rates are finally de-regulated. Whatever makes the common man excited to see full-page ads announcing 6% rate of interest- Beware! This is the season of peaking interest rates. There will also now come a time when your savings rate will slip below 4% - to as low as 1% or 1.5%! In one stroke, RBI has made savings rate an effective tool of monetary policy. Had RBI done this when inflation and interest rates are plummeting, nobody would have noticed. Perfect illusions of the mind! I think whats coming next are - small savings deposit rate freeing and diesel price deregulation.
