A New FDRI Apprehension: Should we be??

A couple of months ago Government of India has had introduced the Financial Deposit Resolution Insurance bill which is envisaged to replace the activity of Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC).

Background:
Earlier DICGC was supposed to provide the insurance of up to 1 lakh Rupees for the depositors, in case of any 'Bank run' kind of situation.

Now, what FDRI bill offers for the depositor? Will it be different from DICGC? 

FDRI brings two important things:
1) Resolution Corporation   2) From 'Bail out' to 'Bail in'

Let me explain here:

Resolution Corporation would constitute of the eminent experts(Specialist in Finance of course), who would monitor the condition of the firms based on a certain parameter which is:
a) Low-Risk b) Medium Risk  c) High-Risk d) Imminent Risk   e) Critical

This risk refers to how financially secure any firm is? When the clock parameter clicks the Critical then this Resolution Corporation makes certain key recommended decision like 
a) Changing the management of the firms
b) Merger and Acquisition

These measure are taken based upon the severity of the issue and of course Government of India would make final decision with this regard.

Next part is  'Bail out' to 'Bail in' which means that if company undergoing certain financial stress then Government would take certain measure to protect the depositor's money.

How??

Converting all the amount into Equity and assuaging the intensity of the Risk, or simply Risk Diversification like Mutual Fund. Here government, depositor, firms and all other stakeholders would have to share the brunt.

So does that means that Depositors or general public would loose money?

We can't predict this, but one thing for sure that Financial Recession situation can be averted with this timely action. 

How?? Why India needs such policy??

Learning from 2008 Financial Recession or simply house bubble bursting, almost whole world economy collapsed. Indian domestic market who less affected because we haven't opened to world market enough. But now things are changing, India is opening up more like 100 % FDI in Defence, multi-brand retail etc. World is looking towards us. So FDRI act is essential because it will make the market more integrated to people and minimize the chance of failure. Philosophically I would say that sustenance of this World is due to our collective decisions, choices which we make, up till now we have sustained well enough. And when the Economy opens up, with Minimum Government and Maximum Self-governance, it becomes necessary to tie each other up so that we save other from falling. This is what Equity does.

Moreover, India is also moving away from the conventional Statutory backing(Bail-out), which do provide fixed insurance but does not maximize recovery of the losses. Also, this Bail-out policy was further burdening the public exchequer money which means more taxation, then public restlessness, which means government fall out, political dissonance and instability which further discredit sovereign rating.

At last I would say, this FDRI bill is necessary for our own sustainability because we don't realize how economically integrated we have become. We all would be accountable and responsible for our decision regarding finances which is kind of liberal policy, but at the same time government role doesn't end here.

Amritsar Train Mishap inconspicuous form of Jallianwala Tragedy

Why this Amritsar railway incidence happened? This mishap has had probably taken the lives of more than 60 people in Dusshera events. At first, why such event took place near the Railway line? Who gave the permission? Did any authority know about the functions? If they knew then why haven't authority intervened? Why did political leader cum spouse other political leaders were invited? Didn't political party know about the vulnerability of the event? If Political party intervened in not allowing such events, it is possible that they would have lost their vote-banks by creating dissatisfaction. Was there no safety measure at first place? Was it was an area for pedestrian or Railway crossing zone? This is an example of how man fails to understand their own creation.--whirled around their own complex knitting of modern life and technology. Did Railway ministry took adequate safety mechanism beforehand or was it simply their lackadaisical attitude? Was any horn...

Office of Profit & Future of the Job

What is an office of profit? अथार्थ वह ऑफिस जिसमे आपको कुछ फ़ायदा हो रहा हो।  Actually, there is no such concrete definition of the office of profit. Even constitution is silent on this aspects. This has been a very debatable issue for many decades. People's President APJ Abdul Kalam had also raised this issues which inflicted the moral conscience of the countrymen due to the misuse of public money and adding or deleting the list of office of profit for own whims and fancies. This debate came to light again and the question was raised that can an MP/MLA practise another profession. For example, Shri Kabil Sibbal is a lawyer who happens to be a Member of Parliament. So is it ethical for them to obtain the monthly benefits which are around Rs 2,74000 per month?  Well in my view it is not ethical because: 1) This is public money. 2) The position can be misused for private benefits thus undermining the public interest. For instance, lobbying for any private firms or e...

Why Current Account Deficit is not bad?

Current Account Deficit(CAD) is an economic term where country's import exceeds the exports. So I was going through few of the data from tradingeconomics.com, where I found some good Insight which I would like to share with you all. So during CAD, a home country purchases the more goods from the foreign country because: 1) Either a home country lacks enough resources to produce. 2) Or a home country lacks the Skilled and efficient workforce to produce more goods in the International market. Both the reasons are general but there can be third reasons too which the country is saving its limited resources for future. As per the recent report, India's CAD is expected to touch $40 billion, or 1.5 percent of GDP(Nomura report), which is the huge number. Now the question is that what we import? Basically many things but the major portion is crude oil from Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia. Now this means that Saudis are depleting its limited oil resources while India is c...
