common man's life to get effected

Let us tell you that the impact of the depreciation of the rupee can be seen on the common man's life. This is also being seen in the form of inflation rate in recent times. The weakening of the rupee reduces the effect of any shortage in the imported commodity from the international market.

Right now there is a decline in crude oil in the foreign markets, but due to the weakening of the rupee, the common people are not getting the benefit of it.
