    Perhaps the government should study US Treasury Bills , Notes and Bonds. Then
    work out their maturity and interest terms. I would suggest the following for study.
    Treasury Bills: 1 – 3 – 5 year terms
    Treasury Notes 3 – 5 – 7 year terms
    Treasury Bonds 5 – 10 – 15 year terms
    The only question that the investor would ask how secure is their money under the
    grip of those who wear the stigma of NRO ?
    The Interest rates will have to be calculated in a manner that neither the investor nor the financial institutions suffer. All we need is to search the haystacks for those
    needles that will help stitch the torn garment(economy)?
