In what is titled as a \u2018bold\u2019 move, demonetisation has got everyone\u2019s attention at the same scale with people queuing up outside the banks to deposit old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.<\/p>\n
In the first four days of the announcement of demonetisation, banks recorded aggregated deposits of over Rs 1 lakh crore. And, most of these were done in savings bank accounts and current accounts, thus giving a boost to the CASA income.<\/p>\n
The good news is that with all this cash being deposited into the bank, customers are likely to benefit from lower cost of credit. Earlier, banks would charge a higher rate of interest to meet the demand and supply of cash. But, now that banks have a huge amount of money with them, they are in a position to meet new and more loan demands at a much lower interest rates.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll rates will fall. It will happen very soon, although I can\u2019t say when exactly this will happen.\u201d Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chairman of State Bank of India, as quoted in The Economic Times.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe deposits are into savings or current accounts which are low cost ones. An increase in them should bring down our cost of funds,\u201d said Axis Bank\u2019s head of retail banking, Rajiv Anand, quoted by PTI.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter deposit of cash into banks, the money circulation in banks will improve. With the increase in cash reserves, interest rate on loans, as well as deposit, might go down,\u201d Amit Jindal, Partner, Felix Advisory, as quoted in The Financial Express.<\/p>\n
Further, to have more proof to the pudding, this what the numbers have to say. A recent article released in The Economic Times pointed out that the Interest rates have dropped to 5%. This drop is from the earlier number which as high as 30% in the grey market, where a large under-the-counter lending business had been thriving.<\/p>\n
Though experts are touting a situation where loans and sectors like real estate will be cheaper, it\u2019s time for us to soak in the changes and wait and watch its effects in the long run.<\/p>\n
