Bank Licensing in India: History and Brief Timeline (Banking Awareness)

Dear Readers,



Bank Licensing in India- Timeline:

1947-1969: Following a spate of mergers and amalgamations, the number of commercial banks in the country decreased from 640 in 1947 to 85 in 1969.

State Bank of India Act 1955: Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank of India, which is India’s central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. Later Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India’s stake in SBI.

State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act 1959: In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, which made eight state banks associates of SBI.

Bank Nationalization:

On July 19, 1969: The Government of India promulgated Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) ordinance 1969 to acquire 14 bigger commercial banks with with deposits over 50 crores with the basic objective of ensuring credit flow to priority sectors of the economy.

April, 1980: The next round of nationalization took place in April 1980. The government nationalized six banks with deposit over 200 crores. This move led to a further increase in the number of branches in the market, increasing to 91% of the total branch network of the country.

Bank Liberalization:

January, 1993: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released guidelines for licensing of new banks in the private sector. 10 new banks were formed on the basis of these guidelines. These were Global Trust Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Bank of Punjab, IndusInd Bank, Centurion Bank, IDBI Bank, Times Bank and Development Credit Bank.

January, 2001: RBI revised the guidelines for new bank licences. Two new banks — Kotak Mahindra Bank and YES Bank — were formed.

Current procedure for Bank Licenses

February 26, 2010: Former finance minister and now president Pranab Mukherjee announced in his budget speech (for 2010-11) that companies and business houses will be allowed to set up new banks.

August 11, 2010: RBI released discussion paper on entry of new banks in the private sector.

December 23, 2010: RBI released gist of comments from the feedback on the discussion paper.

August 29, 2011: RBI released draft guidelines for licensing of new banks in the private sector.

July 10, 2012: RBI released gist of comments from the feedback on the draft guidelines.

February 22, 2013: RBI released guidelines for licensing of new banks.

July 1, 2013: Last date for submitting applications for new banking licence. RBI disclosed names of 26 applicants for new banking licence — two of them drop out while one new player gets added to the listlater.

September 4, 2013: RBI governor Raghuram Rajan announced setting up of a committee headed by Bimal Jalan to screen the applications.

November 1, 2013: Bimal Jalan committee held its first meeting.

February 25, 2014: Bimal Jalan committee submitted its report to RBI.

March 12, 2014: RBI sought Election Commission’s permission to issue in-principle approvals for banking licence.

April 1, 2014: Election Commission allowed RBI to issue new bank licences.

April 2, 2014: RBI granted in-principle approval to IDFC and Bandhan Financial Services to set-up banks. The in-principle approval will be valid for 18 months.

Differentiated bank licence:

May 29, 2014: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will finalize the guidelines for issuing differentiated banking licences within the next four months after which such licences will be issued on tap, financial services secretary Gurdial Singh Sandhu said on May 29, 2014. The financial services department briefed new finance minister Arun Jaitley on the working agenda for the department.

HH- BLOOD GROUP, A RARE BLOOD GROUP EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW


The h/h blood group, also known as Oh or the Bombay blood group, is a rare blood type. This blood phenotype was first discovered in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, in India, by Dr. Y. M. Bhende in 1952.

Problems with blood transfusion
The first person found to have the Bombay phenotype had an interesting blood type that reacted to other blood types in a way never seen before. The serum contained antibodies that reacted with all red blood cells' normal ABO phenotypes. The red blood cells appeared to lack all of the ABO blood group antigens and to have an additional antigen that was previously unknown.
Individuals with the rare Bombay phenotype (hh) do not express H antigen (also called substance H), the antigen which is present in blood group O. As a result, they cannot make A antigen (also called substance A) or B antigen (substance B) on their red blood cells, whatever alleles they may have of the A and B blood-group genes, because A antigen and B antigen are made from H antigen. For this reason people who have Bombay phenotype can donate red blood cells to any member of the ABO blood group system (unless some other blood factor gene, such as Rhesus, is incompatible), but they cannot receive blood from any member of the ABO blood group system (which always contains one or more of A and B and H antigens), but only from other people who have Bombay phenotype.
Receiving blood which contains an antigen which has never been in the patient's own blood causes an immune reaction due to the immune system of a hypothetical receiver producing immunoglobulins not only against antigen A and B, but also against H antigen. The most common immunoglobulins synthesized are IgM and IgG (and this seems to have a very important role in the low frequency of hemolytic disease of the newborn among non-Bombay offspring of Bombay mothers).
It is very important, in order to avoid any complications during a blood transfusion, to detect Bombay phenotype individuals, because the usual tests for ABO blood group system would show them as group O. Since Anti-H immunoglobulins can activate the complement cascade, it will lead to the lysis of red blood cells while they are still in the circulation, provoking an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction. This, of course, cannot be prevented unless the lab technologist that is involved is aware of the existence of the Bombay blood group and has the means to test for it.

FERA V/S FEMA: Static Awareness

Dear Readers,

Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) emerged as a replacement or say an improvement over the old Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 (FERA). Foreign investors, frequently hear the terms FERA and FEMA, when they deal with India. As their name specifies, FERA lays emphasis on the regulation of currencies, whereas the FEMA manages foreign exchange, i.e. Forex.
The first and foremost difference between FERA and FEMA is that the former requires previous approval of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), whereas the latter does not require RBI’s approval, except when the transaction is related to foreign exchange. Check out this article to know more differences between the two acts.

New Pattern for English: Quiz

Dear Readers,

Direction: In the passage given below words are given in bold, each followed by a number given in the brackets. Every word in bold has five alternatives. Find the word which best suits the place. If the given word suits the blank, mark 'no correction/change required' as the answer:


In the 1980s, ‘pseudo-secularism’ and ‘minority-ism’ were the two principal issues of Indian politics. These expressions, used by the BJP, denote grievances (1) of Muslims by the ruling Congress, and in subsequent decades, by regional forces.
A section of the Hindu majority also always felt secure (2) about it. This grief was shared by many Congress leaders as well. The Muslim leadership, too, in the name of marginalization from the structures of power and economy, pursued their politics almost exclusively for emotive identity-related issues of personal law, Urdu, Muslim universities, etc. Cultural identities were not defined in terms of regional, ethnic and linguistic diversities of the religious communities. At least on this particular issue, ‘secular’ politics, their Muslim leadership and the majoritarian communal politics were all on the same board. Playing the majoritarian communal card became easier for a Hindu team (3). The Muslim leadership asked for their conservatism to be preserved and safeguarded (4).Whatever they asked for was granted, all in the name of ‘secularism’. Muslim politics did not go beyond this, even though their uninterupted (5) under-representation in every sphere of education, economy and power continued.

1) Find out the appropriate word 1. 
a) irritation
b) enragement
c) placation
d) baleful
e) No correction required
