Savings has an important place in the mobilization
of resources for development expenditure because the investors
would not only get back their money ,but also some interest and
they would therefore prefer to lend money in this way instead
of paying it as outright tax. Further in a developing economy
in which there will be always surplus money available with some
sectors to the extent that the savings are tapped the money available
for circulation is taken away and to that extent pressure on prices
and inflationary trend is reduced. So therefore savings have got
a very important role to play in the sphere of economy. Rupnagar
