National policies alone cannot prevent a crisis even if these are the most appropriate unless some of the global challenges are addressed collectively at the global level. The international monetary system has been found inadequate to tackle global imbalances, which had to manifest in the form of crisis or the other at some stage.

In view of the difficult years expected, we must sustain the global approach despite domestic differences in policies.
As you are aware, the Reserve Bank of India has been waiving processing charges for retail electronic payment products (NEFT, NECS, RECS and ECS) since the year 2006 in order to promote the usage of these systems.

While the originating banks are levying charges on their customers, there has been no compensation paid to the processing centers and destination banks.

Clearing Corporation of India Limited (CCIL)], having various safeguards like haircut, MTM price, margin, Multilateral netting, closing out, right to set off, settlement guarantee fund/ collaterals, defaults, risk management and dispute resolution/ arbitration etc. However, Master Repo Agreement is mandatory for repo transactions in Corporate Debt Securities, which is settled bilaterally without involving a CCP.
