"Demonetisation - a boon for Banking Industry"


Known for having showed her acumen in various segment in the banking industry, Mrs. Trishna Guha, who is presently Executive Director in Dena Bank, is of the view that demonetization - brought in by the Modi government recently - would be largely beneficial for banking industry.
In an informal chat with the Whispers In The Corridors (Editor- Sanjay Sharma & Vice President - Abul Hassan) during her recent visit to Bhopal, Mrs. Guha said that with huge increase in deposits following demonetization, banks will now not be compelled to borrow money because of rise in low cost deposits.

In economics, demonitisation brings down economic growth !
In economics, demonitisation would have opposite effect of credit creation, .ie,. reduction in availability of credit. This would reduce both consumption and investment and, therefore, bring down economic growth. The fall in growth could be severe given that 90% of employment and 45% of GDP is generated in the informal sector which is largely transacted in cash. Only about 7-8% of population in India holds credit/debit cards but in rural India this percentage could be less than 1%. Contraction of economic activity could last over more than 2-3 quarters and may be more than the total amount demonitised. Loss in investor confidence can last long time. Big loss will be for rural population who produce highly perishable fruits and vegetables, besides, daily casual labour across the country and those in informal sectors.

Congratulations to PM

Congratulations to the PM and his team, for not only demonetisation but also plugging several loopholes proactively. One hopes that it wont be allowed to be fizzled out by actions of a few renegades, acting in connivance with crooks, in all walks of life.
One also hopes that once an action has been initiated, the tempo to not allow black money to accumulate again , will be continued. Cash transaction for all purchases beyond a reasonable limt should be totally banned, aqnd punishment made exemplary, and giving it and other concessions to people at lower end of income, to totally win them over. Our PM today has become a legend , far above all others put together. It is our job now to ensure that we enable him to stay there for many more years to come.Our country is surely changing , else there would have been riots, with all the provocations, from opp. politicians and paid news reporters!

Congratulations to PM Modi

Congratulations to PM Modi for putting Anil Swarup (IAS UP 81) in charge of School Education and Literacy. For the first time, this charge has been given to a most outstanding officer. School Education and Literacy is bound to look up now. It is an indication of the importance PM Modi attaches to this department that he has posted Swarup to head it.

Grievance of a railway pass holder

A retired Master Craftsman claimed that despite being eligible for first class pass, the Railways had not been honouring several clauses related to the journey performed by a pass holder. He sought Information regarding rules relating to privilege passes issued to railway employees. The Commission observed that under the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as is available and existing and held by the public authority or is under control of the public authority can be provided. The PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of the record. He is also not required to interpret information or furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules /contesting the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the purview of the Act. Further, the CIC observed that the appeal relates to the grievance of the retired employee regarding utilization of railway passes and lack of awareness and sensitization of the work force dealing with such matters. This aspect needs to be re-examined by the competent authority to provide relief and succour to the affected retired employees in an objective and transparent manner.

Comments

Even though the redressal of grievance is outside the purview of the RTI Act, it has been frequently used to obtain some relief. The Information Commission has been sympathetic to injustice metered through a system which is not objective or opaque.
