    Decrease in M1; No effect on M2

    Explanation:

    Monetary aggregates is as follows:

    M1 consists of:

    = Currency with the public + Checking/Demand deposits + Other deposits with the RBI

    M2 consists of:

    = M1 + Post office savings account deposits

    Effect on M1:

    If a person transfer money from checking account to savings account, so there is a fall in M1 because the amount in checking account is reduced.

    Effect on M2:

    If a person transfer money from checking account to savings account, then there is a fall in checking account and at the same time there is a rise in the savings account. M1 is a component of M2.

    Therefore, there will be no effect on M2.
