CRR cut has been there ...even i dont thnk so that its sufficient enough to hold on the economy crisis situation. banks are under accute liquidity crunch and many of them are not lending money at all. certainly liquidity is the major issue. i dont see intrest rate dampening in near future and it gonna have casscading effect on the productivity as cost of production may go up as cost of capital would be more. Rather then concentrating on advnaces to companies and retailers, banks are concentrating more on meeting their regulatory requirements. it is said that all the banks are adequately capitalized, but i dont find that system can work efficiantly with liquidity worries hanging on them. ...

Reacting to Reserve Bank of India’s announcement to cut the cash reserve ratio by 150 basis points this morning — the 150-point cut includes the 50-bps cut announced on October 11 — experts are of the view that the cut will help infuse liquidity into the cash-starved markets.

Excellent post guest,

I really cannot understand why the condition of the poor and the facilites for them should be so miserable.

Lets start with ourselves. Do we give a SUNDAY off to our servants? No. Do we give days like independence day, worker`s day off to our maids? NO.. Do we hike their salaries in keeping with the inflation. When we can exploit them why not government. First lets improve their situation, then they will have no need to go to GOVT hospitals. They can get treated from local doctors....

Trusts may soon be allowed to park their funds in listed shares or private sector debt instruments that have investment grade rating from credit rating agencies.

The Union Cabinet has given its nod for the introduction of a Bill in the coming session of Parliament to enable funds owned by trusts to be invested in securities (or class of securities) to be specified by the Central Government.

The Bill will seek to amend the Indian Trusts Act 1882. In fact, the Government was looking to introduce a Bill for this purpose in the Budget session this year.

Investment pattern


The Cabinet decision covers those trusts whose trust-deeds do not expressly specify the pattern of investments that should be adopted till the funds are used for the ultimate purpose for which these vehicles were created.

For such trusts, once the law is amended, the Centre is likely to specify that the investment pattern spelt out for non-government provident funds/superannuation funds/gratuity funds could be adopted.

In August this year, non-government provident funds as well as superannuation and gratuity funds were given greater exposure to the stock markets. From April 1, 2009, they can directly invest up to 15 per cent of their investible funds in shares of companies on which derivatives are available in the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) or National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Moreover, Central Government securities, state government securities and units of gilt mutual funds were clubbed into a single category and investment up to 55 per cent of the investible funds were allowed.

‘Relic of the Raj’


Briefing reporters on the Cabinet decision here on Wednesday, the Union Finance Minister, Mr Chidambaram, said that the Bill would seek to amend Section 20 of the Indian Trusts Act 1882. This section relates to investment of trust money. “Section 20 of the Indian Trusts Act is a relic of the British Raj. It is no longer relevant today”, Mr Chidambaram said.

The Law Commission had in its 17th report recommended that it was better not to enumerate particular securities but to give a general definition of all categories of securities in vogue in the market and that the securities which have become obsolete may be deleted.

With the government’s new law of banning smoking in public having taken effect, does it make any sense?
