    ISSN NO.: 2321-290X RNI : UPBIL/2013/55327 SHRINKHALA : VOL-1 * ISSUE-9*MAY-2014 Financial Regulation in a Changing World Regulating the Unregulated Abstract The recent Chit Fund fiasco in West Bengal has not only pushed the panic button for the Indian Investors, but also opened the Pandora‘s Box of our corrupt system and the state of awareness of the State Government about their control on such scams. This is a case in which all the three parties are to be blamed equally – the Investors, the System or the Government and the investment Agencies. Though the issue of cheating and fraud came to light because of Saradha fiasco in West Bengal, Odisha is not far behind in any sense. "Chit funds in India are governed by the Chit Funds Act, 1982. Under this Act, the chit fund businesses can be registered and regulated only by the respective State Governments". After such clarification from the Centre the affected states are now trying to revamp the wound of ill fated investors of their states. No one is giving a fair solution to prevent the chit fund scams. Also no one is trying to find out the root cause of such scams. As a result the investors are in dark about the refund of their funds. It is going to be treated as a combined failure of state as well as country. Expectation of easy money return in short time, fake success stories by the agents of such companies motivate the illiterate rural people to invest in the chit funds. The poor literacy in rural areas gives a wide dimension for the fraud chit fund companies for growth.

India’s steady recovery to face an election challenge (Bloomberg Intelligence) The Indian economy is returning to a slow and steady recovery. Although not evident in official year-on-year GDP data, our monthly GDP tracker adjusted for base effects shows that the recent pullback in oil prices and improving liquidity conditions are aiding growth. The new governor, Shaktikanta Das, has also turned supportive of growth, giving up his predecessor’s hawkish bias. That, along with a tailwind from structural reforms of the past few years, should support a gradual economic recovery. Still, national elections around May 2019 pose a short-term risk. Another term for Modi’s government would bode well for further reforms and market sentiment. A win for a united opposition led by the Congress and composed of smaller regional parties with different ideologies could hurt near term economic and financial stability. The latest Growth India’s Growth Slowdown Calls for Monetary Policy Support: The downtrend in India’s GDP growth during October-December was largely driven by an unreasonably tight monetary policy and fading favorable base effects, in our view. Monetary policy has already made a U-turn under new RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das and we expect the central bank’s policies to be supportive of growth ahead.

    1. Introduction and Terms of Reference I was invited by Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation to work on its behalf as it prepared for the hearings for Shell’s proposed Jackpine Mine Expansion and new Pierre River Mine (letter 18 Nov. 2010). Sean Nixon, with Woodward & Company LLP, then provided me with terms of reference to follow in writing an expert report (e-mail letter 21 Dec. 2010): 1. Provide an ethnographic description of the people who now form Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, including an analysis of how traditional band structures differ from those created by virtue of the Indian Act . 2. Describe how ACFN passed on their culture and cultural practices to future generations (e.g., what were their oral history traditions?). 3. Provide a description of ACFN traditional territory or traditional lands, including: a. whether there was a pre-contact (and/or pre-Treaty) concept of ACFN territory, b. the extent to which ACFN moved around within their territory (including: the amount of space required to carry out their traditional activities; the need to be respectful of others’ rights; and the depletion of resources), c. “axes” of ACFN territory (if this concept is relevant to ACFN), d. whether there was any amalgamation of groups (e.g., was there any overlap between local groups and bands through marriage and family connections?), e. whether there was any effect of the formation of a separate First Nation at Fort MacKay on ACFN membership and on its relation to the “southern territories” (i.e., the southern portions of ACFN traditional territory or traditional lands)? 4.
