About Finance on Plax
Finance covers money in everyday life and in the economy: saving, borrowing, inflation, interest rates, taxes, banking and the policies that govern them. The feed draws on business and finance publishers in India and abroad, and summarises their reports in a few lines.
Plax is news and explanation, not advice. Rates, rules and taxes change, and your situation is your own. To understand the terms that headlines use, see our guides to inflation, the repo rate and the Union Budget.
