Core Investment Companies :-Reserve Bank of India [RBI] has announced on 20 April 2010 a proposal to introduce a new regulatory framework for Non-Banking Financial Companies [NBFC] which are “Core Investment Companies” [CIC]. The announcement was made as part of Annual Monetary Policy for the year 2010-11.
The Monetary Policy for 2010-11 is set against a rather complex economic backdrop. Although the situation is more reassuring than it was a quarter ago, uncertainty about the shape and pace of global recovery persists. Private spending in advanced economies continues to be constrained and inflation remains generally subdued making it likely that fiscal and monetary stimuli in these economies will continue for an extended period.
Repo Rate :- It has been decided to increase the repo rate under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) by 25 basis points from 5.0 per cent to 5.25 per cent with immediate effect. Reverse Repo Rate :- It has been decided to increase the reverse repo rate under the LAF by 25 basis points from 3.5 per cent to 3.75 per cent with immediate effect.
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.
Please refer to our circular RPCD.PLNFS.BC.No.83/06.12.05/2000-01 dated April 28, 2001 regarding educational loan scheme, wherein it was advised that no security may be insisted upon for loans upto Rs.4 lakh. We have been receiving representations from various quarters that collateral security is being demanded even for loans upto Rs.4 lakh.
Reserve Bank of India on Monday allowed foreign institutional investors to offer domestic and foreign government securities as collateral to stock exchanges for cash segment transactions. According to market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India’s regulations, FIIs are required to post collaterals for their transactions in the cash segment of the market.
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.
A Writ Petition was filed challenging the order dated 17.7.2008 of the Appellate Tribunal for Foreign Exchange, Janpath, New Delhi, (hereinafter `the Tribunal’), on various grounds with which this Court is not concerned. By that order, the Tribunal refused to dispense with the pre-deposit of penalty by the appellant and the concluding portion of that order is:
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.
