In consultation with stakeholders it has since been decided to levy service charges for all outward transactions of RTGS members. The rationale behind the levy of service charges for outward transactions of members in the RTGS System is to (a) recover operational costs; and (b) to bring in further efficiency in the operations and the liquidity flows in the RTGS system. Inward transactions of the members will not attract any service charges and will continue to be free as hitherto. DPSS (CO) RTGS No.388/04.04.002/2011-2012

We need to be concerned about inflation as it has adverse impact on the real economy. First, high and persistent inflation imposes significant socio-economic costs. Given that the burden of inflation is disproportionately large on the poor, high inflation by itself can lead to distributional inequality. Therefore, for a welfare-oriented public policy, low inflation becomes a critical element for ensuring balanced progress. Second, high inflation distorts economic incentives by diverting resources away from productive investment to speculative activities.

In the Indian context, the policy of self-sufficiency in food which led to Green Revolution had served the country well. The country currently has sufficient stocks of wheat and rice which are above buffer stock norms and food security reserve requirements. However, in the medium to long term, concern over food security is likely to become more intense. This is because land is scarce and its supply is limited. Further, sustained dependence on food imports is not an option that is viable in Indian context. Therefore, food safety net for the present and future population requires enhanced agricultural production and productivity. This is already attracting the attention of the Reserve Bank of India. Thus, this Seminar organized by CAB, Pune is very topical and the theme has great bearing on the future growth of India.

Implementation of Basel III a) Capital: In terms of Basel III guidelines, the capital required, and, particularly, the equity component has become much larger. While the minimum CRAR remains at 8 per cent, the equity component has been raised from 2 per cent to 4.5 per cent. In addition, there is a capital conservation buffer of 2.5 per cent composed of equity. Effectively, therefore, the equity component in capital stands raised from 2 per cent to 7 per cent. In addition, two more capital components, fully composed of equity, have also been prescribed – (a) Counter Cyclical capital within a range of 0- 2.5 per cent and (b) capital surcharge on Global Systemically Important Financial Institutions (G-SIFIs) within a range of 1- 2.5 per cent.
The Reserve Bank of India has been conducting Inflation Expectations Survey of Households (IESH) on a quarterly basis since September 2005. The 25th round of the Survey with July-September 2011 as the current reference period has been launched today. The Survey seeks qualitative responses from households on price changes (general prices as well as prices of specific product groups) in the next three months as well as in the next one year and quantitative responses on current, three-month ahead and one-year ahead inflation rates. The results of this Survey are being used by Reserve Bank as one of the important inputs to the monetary policy formulation.
