What is inflation?
The rate at which money loses buying power over time.
Explained in more detail
It is the quiet reason keeping everything in a savings account is not actually safe. If your money grows 5% while prices rise 6%, you have more rupees and can buy less with them.
An example
For instance₹1 lakh today buys noticeably less in ten years even if the amount is untouched.
