Reserve Bank of India is likely to squeeze money supply and make borrowings costlier further in its monetary policy on Tuesday to tame inflation which has come close to ten per cent, say bankers. The apex bank, however, may not aggressively tighten the monetary policy and is likely to resort to only a moderate 0.25 per cent hike in short-term borrowing rates and mandatory bank deposits with RBI, bankers said.

Floating-rate home loan borrowers, who often felt they got a raw deal, will now have a reason to cheer. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) new rules will ensure that they get the full benefit of any reduction in interest rates. In its final guidelines on the base rate — the new benchmark that banks will use to price loans — the regulator has made it clear that any change in the base rate will apply to new as well as old customers. Banks often offered lower rates and even teaser-rate schemes to attract new customers.

RBI has, on 11 February 2010, amended the Non-Banking Financial (Non- Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 [NBFC Directions] to introduce a 4th category of Non Banking Financial Company [NBFC] viz. “Infrastructure Finance Company” [IFC]. This is in addition to the existing 3 categories of NBFCs viz. Asset Finance Company (AFC), Loan Company (LC) and Investment Company (IC).
A reference is invited to Para 3 of the guidelines on ‘Know Your Customer’ norms and anti-money laundering measures enclosed to our circular RPCD.RRB.BC.No.81/03.05.33(E)/2004-05 dated February 18,2005. It has been advised to RRBs that internal guidelines for customer identification procedure of legal entities may be framed by them based on their experience of dealing with such entities, normal bankers’ prudence and the legal requirements as per established practices.
The BPLR system, introduced in 2003, fell short of its original objective of bringing transparency to lending rates. This was mainly because under the BPLR system, banks could lend below BPLR. For the same reason, it was also difficult to assess the transmission of policy rates of the Reserve Bank to lending rates of banks. The Base Rate system is aimed at enhancing transparency in lending rates of banks and enabling better assessment of transmission of monetary policy. Accordingly, the following guidelines are issued for implementation by banks.
On a review of the issue it has been decided that the exemption granted to RRBs up to the financial year 2008-09 from ‘mark to market’ norms in respect of their investments in SLR securities be extended by one more year i.e. for the financial year 2009-10. Accordingly, RRBs will have the freedom to classify their entire investment portfolio of SLR securities under ‘Held to Maturity’ for the financial year 2009-10 with valuation on book value basis and amortisation of premium, if any, over the remaining life of securities.
