A clutch of banks in both public and private sector have sought deferral of the Reserve Bank of India’s exit from quantitative expansion on mounting liquidity concerns.
As part of the liquidity easing measures announced by the RBI on May 26, 2010, it has been decided to conduct a second Liquidity Adjustment Facility (SLAF), on a daily basis, with effect from May 28, 2010 up to July 2, 2010.
New guidelines on private firm’s share do not provide guidance on the use of DCF method, be it in terms of discount rates or to compute cash flows into perpetuity. A series of regulatory and tax changes has completely changed the rules for transacting in shares of a private company in the country.
At present, banks obtain liquidity from the Reserve Bank under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) against the collateral of eligible securities that are in excess of their prescribed statutory liquidity ratio (SLR). It has been decided that, in addition, purely as a temporary measure, scheduled commercial banks may avail additional liquidity support under the LAF to the extent of up to 0.5 per cent of their net demand and time liabilities. The additional liquidity support will be available with effect from the LAF auctions of May 28, 2010 and up to July 2, 2010.
