One is the Business Correspondent Model -- CMF has a paper on the Karimnagar pilot that you may want to read.  There is also the money-market-mutual-fund idea that needs more work but my instinct is that it can be made to work as well.  The concern I have about the bank savings account model is that the rate of interest is far too low at 3.5% and may not be in the best interests of the rural, low income saver.  I am personally much more enthusiastic about money-market mutual funds -- particularly those that invest only in treasury bills -- they are safer and pay more than double the rate of interest.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4111328476764453152/6858809484757169723/comments/default/2726426045041750691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4111328476764453152/6858809484757169723/comments/default/2726426045041750691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.indiadevelopmentblog.com/2008/06/what-about-savings.html?showComment=1214851080000#c2726426045041750691' title=''/><author><name>Nachiket Mor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00708147364201571390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_xNAU1oZ-GKI/SFSDrucl6OI/AAAAAAAAAAM/3T0cCv_ImSg/S220/nachiket_5.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.indiadevelopmentblog.com/2008/06/what-about-savings.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111328476764453152.post-6858809484757169723' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4111328476764453152/posts/default/6858809484757169723' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1456466480'/></entry></feed>
