Yes and no. If your "savings" are not in a savings account, then technically yes. This is because your savings will slowly lose its purchasing power as inflation happens (emphasis on slowly, you will only "lose" 1-5% annually unless inflation spikes in a bad way). If your savings is in a savings account and is accruing interest, then no. This is because the interest will make up for the inflation.

Why should the interest rate on your savings account be greater than the rate of inflation?
We cannot say that the interest rate on our savings account should be greater than the rate of inflation, but we can say that the interest earned on our overall savings or investments should be greater than the inflation rate. That is because: Let's say you invested Rs. 100 in a bank that gives you 3% interest every year, which means your 100 would have grown to be 103 by the end of the year, but if the country's inflation rate if say 8%, something that was 100 rupees last year would be costing 108 rupees now which means your money has effectively lost its value. That is why we must invest in instruments that give us returns that are alteast greater than the inflation rate.
