FOR and AGAINST

1. KYC norms is to be further streamlined

FOR : KYC norms are to be streamlined keeping in view the unbanked population of this nation. A central KYC registry need to be set up to obviate the problem of multiple KYC processes at different financial service providers.

AGAINST : KYC need to be stringent as more and more cases of Money Laundering and Financing of terrorism are being reported. A relaxed norm would facilitate unwanted activities in the economy.

2. TDS against payment of interest at Banks should be abolished.

SBILD Nungambakkam 40

FOR: With the investment avenues in the country getting diversified, Banks have become depositors of retail customers only. The TDS provision has been a bane on this class of customers owing to the paper work and intricacies involved.

AGAINST :To bring more and more people under the tax net and to have check on tax evasion TDS in necessary.

3. CSP (Customer Service Points) are to be promoted in a big way for financial inclusion.

FOR : To de-congest branches and to provide banking facilities at the un-banked places where a brick and mortar bank is not profitable, CSPs are to be promoted. It is a cost effective, accessible and user friendly solution for the Financial Inclusion objective.

AGAINST : CSPs may pose reputational risk for the Bank if they are not being monitored and controlled properly.

4. Compulsory leave system should be strictly implemented in the Bank.

FOR : This is method of preventive vigilance and is being advocated by the regulators. This would improve the work life balance of the staff. Encashment of leave salary would be saved by the bank.

AGAINST : This may result in more stress to the already overstretched staff position of branches. Customer service and continuity of services may take a hit. Staff would loose the benefit of leave accrual to some extent.

5. Career Development System has been launched:

FOR: It is a tool to evaluate staff scientifically. It is a process of motivating the performers. It improves productivity with objectivity. It eliminates human emotions in evaluation of performance.

AGAINST: It creates lot of ambiguity in performance appraisal. It is not practical according to the organizational culture. Grading of employees promotes division. Compulsory retirement of officers on the pretext of performance evaluation is inhuman.

6. Loss making branches should be closed.

FOR: Such branches are a drain on the Bank‘s resources. Their continuance will further affect the profitability of Banks. Optimum utilization of man power can be achieved by shifting them to profit-making branches.

AGAINST: This will affect the morale of the depositors. New strategies should be evolved to make these branches productive and profit-making.

7. Number of transactions in SB accounts being done through branches should be restricted.

SBILD Nungambakkam 41

FOR: It diverts the customers towards alternate channels so that, transaction cost will be reduced and thereby, profits will be increased. It enables the branch staff to concentrate on other activities viz. marketing, recovery of NPAs, housekeeping etc.

AGAINST: Illiterate customers, customers who are not comfortable with alternate delivery channels will have to pay the cost for approaching branches. Customers will stop coming to branches and therefore, staff will not know the customers’ needs and accordingly, business will not grow.

8. Mergers and acquisitions should be encouraged.

FOR: Small Banks will find it difficult to manage the risks. It will be easier for regulators to control the Banks. It is international practice.

AGAINST.: Only merger will not solve critical problems like NPAs, unproductive branches etc. Moreover, it is difficult to deal with HR issues.

9.Payment banks are to be promoted in big way.

FOR : To provide availability of banking to the un-banked areas, being operated largely on mobile platform providing easy connectivity and to provide a channel for surplus funds. Cost effective, accessible and user friendly solution for the Financial Inclusion objective.

AGAINST : Restricted offerings of these banks, challenge of diversity and chance of monopoly of large corporates are threats to this initiative.

10.Govt stake in the PSBs should be brought down.

FOR : Banks have suffered due to several externally imposed constraints like dual regulation by the RBI and Finance Min and external vigilance agencies like CVC and CAG. Banks have also been a victim of directed lending policy of the Government

AGAINST : In a developing economy like India we still have a big role for the PSBs as far as Priority sector lending and Socio-economic funding is concerned. Diluting the Government’s stake in PSBs could have negative impact on these motives.

AGRI RATIONALES

01. Two milch animals are financed in two phases. ➢ To ensure uninterrupted generation of income two milch animals are financed at a time with a gap of 6 months. Second animal will be purchased with instalment amount released after 6 months to ensure that one animal will give milk during dry period of the other animal. 02. Farmers Club formation is beneficial to the Bank.

➢ Farmer’s club formation is based on the principle “Development through credit”. It enables the farmers to adopt improved practices for their development. Because of their voluntary participation, the change process will be faster. We can as well make use of the Clubs to inculcate proper credit discipline among the farmers. 03. Agricultural Term Loans interest is calculated in May and November. ➢ To reduce the burden on the farmers and to coincide with harvesting season of Kharif & Rabi crops. It is easier & convenient to repay the installments and interest from the sale proceeds and will not result in compounding of interest. 04. "PRODUCER COMPANIES" is a new thrust area in agricultural Finance. ➢ Our Bank is also showing inclination in financing and Identification of Producer Companies as an emerging area in Agriculture Business. Opportunities and to take advantage of revolution in Agriculture marketing. 05.

In case of SBI, we are granting loans against the coins minted by SBI and e-Abs only.

This programme is gaining increasing recognition in many developing countries including India. 07.

In case the documents are not renewed, the Bank cannot legally proceed against the borrower in the event of default on the strength of the time-barred documents. 08.

While creating Equitable Mortgage, the mortgager does not sign the Title Deed register, Why? ➢ If the mortgager signs the Title deed register, it will amount to Registered Mortgage and it attracts advalorem Stamp duty. 11. Banks are allowed to give incentives to NGOs for providing SHG-Bank linkages. ➢ To compensate the NGOs for the work involved for them in providing the linkages It is an incentive to increase the involvement of NGOs, and enable bank to achieve its target under SHG linkage. 12. Agriculture Gold Loan scheme is revised. ➢ In view of the negligible NPAs and vast potential available for increasing gold loan portfolio in agri business. The procedures have been simplified to de- bottleneck the scheme keeping risk mitigation aspect intact. RBI has reduced the risk weightage on loans up to Rs 1 lac against gold and silver ornaments from 120 % to 50 %. Therefore, financing under this portfolio will ease the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank. 13. Spacing norms for location of wells are stipulated by NABARD.

FOR AND AGAINST QUESTIONS 1. Implementation of GST is a boon or bane? For: GST is a revolutionary change in the taxation system in India. It has improved the tax collection by preventing tax evasion . Implementation of GST was one of the reason for improvement in global ranking in terms of ease of doing business. Against : The procedures involved in filing of returns are very cumbersome causing hardships to business entities especially export oriented entities . There is disagreement in tax sharing between state and central governments . 2.CLP ( Contactless lending platform ) is a boon or bane for MSME sector?

SBILD NUNGAMBAKKAM Page 126

For : It is an effective initiative of the central government which would enable the business persons to apply for loans easily with the banks as per their choice and get in principal approval of the loans. Against: The process involved is cumbersome and requires some technical skills for applying the loan . It has the risk of miscreants accessing banking channel for availing loan. 3. Priority Sector lendings are eroding commercial banks' profitability and hence they should be discontinued. For: Substantial portion of the banks' funds are locked up as bad and doubtful debts in the advances to Priority Sectors. Further, these are cost-intensive and consume staff-time considerably. Against: In a capital-scarce/labour-abundant developing economy like ours small enterprises like small indus-tries, small service units, small businesses, small agriculturists dominate the economic scene. National economic development means naturally the development of these groups. 4. The name of bank defaulters should be publicized. For: This will ensure that the Banks/FIs do not lend to the defaulters/their associates etc. This will act as a deterrent to the willful defaulters. Against: Defaults take place due to genuine reasons like competition, change in Govt. policy etc also. Sick units which can be rehabilitated will be affected as their credit would be damaged by any such adverse publicity. The banking secrecy laws have to be amended. 5.Banks are exposed to Prompt corrective action ( PCA ) ? For : It is mandate of RBI as part of Asset quality review to assess the quality of assets of commercial banks and to bring to light hidden stressed assets. It would enable the banks devise recovery strategies at the earliest when scope of recovery is more . Against : PCA imposes certain restrictions on banks which would lead to a vicious cycle further aggravating the already stressed banks and the banks would be exposed to reputation loss and a sense of uncertainty in the minds of investors and depositors.

COMPREHENSION

Comprehension- Exercise –I Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:- 1. The major forces changing the banking and financial industries are globalization, deregulation, technological change and innovation. Globalization in the banking and securities industries mean the end of geographical restrictions on doing business. The globalization of the two industries came about through a combination of the banks and securities firms responding to the needs of the customers looking for both new sources of funds and venues for investing funds. An ancillary effect of this activity has been an inevitable easing and in some cases, liberalization of regulations. This has resulted in banks from Hiroshima, for example, competing in London with other Japanese banks while not competing directly with them in their domestic market. Globalization has, in fact increased competitive pressures. The high costs of maintaining far-flung branches in foreign market has, further contributed to the erosion of bank margins. The cost of doing business is higher in exotic places, be they London or Singapore. Banks with have only a long domestic history are hard pressed to contain such costs. The Banks and securities firms are experiencing their own wage inflation as they struggle to keep the salaries at their different foreign locations in line with local salaries. The fact that banks and securities firms are working in different markets makes it doubly difficult for domestic regulators to enforce restrictive measures designed in some cases by the various finance ministries to assure a “Level Playing Field” within the domestic market. Deregulation is one of the principal inevitable consequences of globalization. Domestic banks operating in foreign locations have to adapt to survive. Often adaptation to foreign practices means adopting local market customs and practices which are often inimical to domestic regulatory practices. This only tends to accelerate the trend towards deregulation as the domestic regulators wring their hands over the foreign practices of their domestic banks in far-off markets.

1. In the passage, the word ‘Globalization’ refers to – a) The existing restrictions on banks and financial institutions. b) Increased competitive pressure. c) Competing globally. d) Curbing the freedom of the domestic market.

2. According to the author, the immediate effect of globalization is: a) More risks of losses to domestic banks. b) The cost of operations has gone up which has lowered profitability. c) Foreign banks have to adopt the customs of the local markets. d) There is a high rate of inflation in the country.

SBILD NUNGAMBAKKAM Page 210

3. The two crucial problems due to globalization are: a) Bring about uniformity in the domestic as well as foreign sectors. b) Discrepancies in the salaries between the domestic and foreign banks. c) Both (a) and (B) d) d) None of the above.

4. The word ‘level playing field’ means: a) Deregulating policies in exotic places like Singapore and London b) Involving overseas participation c) Having a healthy competitive field d) Uniform conditions and stipulations that govern all banks operating in the domestic market.

5. The cause for deregulation is a) Globalization b) Competition among domestic banks. c) Liberalization of banking policies. d) Domestic markets

Our accommodation of stress depends partly on what type of personalities we have: broadly speaking, those who are highly competitive, insecure, materialistic and abrasive are more likely to succumb to the effects of stress than those who are less prickly. It also depends on the kind of lives we lead.

In every case, however, the question of whether or not stress takes a heavy toll on our physical or mental health ultimately depends on how we handle it. Of all the characteristics that humans have and animals do not, the one that stands out most is man’s ability to do something about his condition. We can control our thoughts, feelings and actions. We are thus capable of exercising control over the impact on us of stress.

“Learn to ignore what you can’t control and learn to control what you can “writes Dr. Peter G Hanson, author of the commendable. The Joy of Stress, a recent bestseller. “Take an active role in your own management: do not be just a passive tourist through life.”

When we turn our minds to dealing with stress, however, we should be careful to make the distinction between controlling it and trying to escae from it. People who believe that they can hide away from the pressures of life by “doing nothing” may find that inactivity is very stressful. People subject to stress under load are liable to be wakeful, withdrawn and have poor appetites. If they work, they tend to be accident prone have a high absentee rate, and lack judgement. What they are missing, clearly, is the energizing tension which stress exerts.

Experts in the field speak of a “stress comfort zone” in which there is neither strain nor slack on a particular person. The dimensions of the zone vary with personalities. The threshold seems higher for some hardy souls, than it is for the majority. But on close observation, you may find that these cool-headed individuals are able to adapt to pressure better than others because of their positive attitudes.

In general, any effort to deal with stress will be reinforced by considering what steps you can take to make yourself physically fitter. Unfitness is a major source of distress in its own right. The traditional ways of alleviating tension fly in the face of keeping fit: smoking, drinking and perhaps eating too much, taking tranquilizers. By merely following a healthful diet and exercising a little, you can use physical stress to fight mental distress. The first line of defence against pressure is the confidence that comes from feeling vibrantly alive.

Comprehension exercise III

Since change is the function of leadership, being able to generate highly energized behaviour is important for coping with the inevitable barriers to change. Just as direction setting identified an appropriate path for movement and just as effective alignment gets people moving down that path, Successful motivation ensures that they will have the energy to overcome obstacles. Managerial processes cannot be dependent on the unusual. The whole purpose of systems and structures is to help normal people who behave in normal ways to complete routine jobs successfully, day after day. It’s not exciting or glamorous. But that’s management. Leadership is different. Achieving grand visions always requires an occasional burst of energy. Motivation and inspiration energies people, not by pushing them in the right direction as control mechanisms do but by satisfying basic human needs for achievement, a sense of belonging, recognition, self-esteem, a feeling of control over one’s life, and the ability to live up to one’s ideals. Good leaders motivate people in a variety of ways. First, they always articulate the organization’s vision in a manner that stresses the value of the audience they are addressing. This makes the work important to those individuals. Leaders also regularly involve people in deciding how to achieve the organization’s vision. This gives people a sense of control. Another motivational technique is to support employee efforts to realize the vision by providing coaching, feedback, and role modeling. Finally, good leaders recognize and reward success, which not only gives people a sense of accomplishment but also makes them feel like they belong to an Organization that cares about them. When all this is done, the work itself becomes intrinsically motivating. The more that change characterizes the business environment, the more that leaders must motivate people to themselves provide leadership as well. It tends to reproduce leadership across the entire Organisation. This is valuable, because coping with change demands initiatives from a multitude of people. Of course, leadership from many sources can easily conflict. Directions (Q 1-5) : Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below: 1. What is important for copying with change?

a) Being a good leader. b) Being aware of the benefits of change. c) Being able to generate highly energized behavior d) None of the above.

2. What distinguishes leadership from management?

a) Providing motivation b) Creating a sense of achievement c) Creating a sense of belonging & self-esteem d) All of the above e) None of the above.

4. How can work be made intrinsically motivating?

a) By encouraging employees to work for individual benefit. b) By inculcating a sense of belonging in people by sharing the vision of the organization c) By training employees not to expect rewards for success. d) By undermining the value of the audience. e) None of the above.

Comprehension : Exercise – IV The effectively functioning organization makes change its open ally. It keeps the barriers low. Its leaders know that survival depends on the regular euthanasia of the organisations’s regularities. Otherwise everybody and everything winds down. Entropy overtakes enterprise. Competitiveness diminishes and finally expires. Nothing characterizes the successful Organization so much as its willingness to abandon what has been long successful. Of course, not all that is new is better. Good things have good reasons for enduring. It may be good to be skeptical of fashionable new prescriptions for achieving organizational vitality and competitive virtuosity, but it’s bad to be resistant to the kind of self-examination that might prescribe new medicine. Nobody who leads or manages knowingly resists self-examination and adaptation. But to keep the barriers low takes effort. It requires open advocacy and demonstrable receptiveness to innovation. The history of lon surviving and thriving enterprise is a history of innovation, mostly by their forcing changes on others and on themselves. Sometimes these occur suddenly and painfully. Mostly they happen gradually, continuously, even imperceptibly. What’s key, especially in the complex Organization where work is deeply regularized, is leadership that insist on constant, open self-examination of everything , on demonstrable receptiveness to change, and on the budgetary encouragement of innovation. It seeks out, encourages, and supports intelligent, experienced people who have the will, energy, and courage to make changes they think make sense. Often these people will be younger rather than older. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below: 1) Which of the following is not true as per the passage? a) A successful organization does not change b) A successful organization will adapt itself to changes c) Competitiveness will increase with the ability to manage changes d) A healthy organization always carries out a self-examination.

2) It does not require any efforts to adapt to changes ? a) True b) b) False c) c) Can be true at times d) d) Difficult to assess

3) The strategy suggested in the passage for adapting to changes is

a) Constant self criticism b) Regular self evaluation c) Regular appraisal d) Constant & open self-examination of everything.

4) The author recommends that an organization must adapt to all new changes

a) True b) Half the statement is true c) False SBILD NUNGAMBAKKAM Page 220

d) Can’t say

5) Only young people can adapt to changes

Comprehension Exercise V: Challenges for the future and possible policy directions What is the future of science and technology in India? Against the above background, let me now turn to some of the challenges and burning questions of the future. From rather long menu of issues, I shall largely deal with two issues in particular. Efffective Patent Laws and Intellectual Property Rights I have already pointed out that innovative activities often turn out to be risky from the stand-pont of the financier, existence of an effective and speedy patent-legal framework goes a long way to solve the incentive problem associated with any innovative venture. Though the Indian Patent Act,1970 was indeed a break-through from the earlier archaic Indian Patent and Design Act of 1911, still much needs to be done. The following example may illustrate the point. During 1994, whereas in India 4000 patents were filed, China in the same year had 70,000 patents. After all, a slow process of patenting not only hurts the interest of the innovator but also discourages the potential ones. Existence of loose paten t laws or its violation, like those prevalent in software piracy, thus, makes me extremely anxious. Nevertheless, as a far-reaching extension to above argument, the global regime represented by trade related intellectual property rights (TRIPS) titled the balance of benefits of innovation in favour of the private innovator. As a signatory to the 1994 Uruguary Round of Multilateral trade negotiation of the then General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT), India is bound by the regulatory framework of the recently created World Trade Organization(WTO). This may have consequences on the adopted modes of industrial research in India like imitative research or reverse engineering. We need only to stress more innovative research but also to develop the intermediaries like patent agents and patent attorneys, who will bridge the gap between the market and the scientists. This apart, as the Draft Ninth Plan pointed out, we need to take new initiative to “secure a more favourable deal at the impending review of the TRIPs agreement in the WTO”. This is going to be a serious challenge of the future. The Role of the State in Technological Development: What is the role of Government in advancement of science and technology upgradation in a liberalized market-friendly atmosphere? As this point of time, he issue may apparently seem to be old-fashioned. Often in popular parlance, liberalization is equated to a withdrawal of state from the economic domain. However, science and technology is a field where such popular notion may turn out be fallacious. It is widely argued that there are tree sources of market failure, viz., indivisibility, uncertainty and externalities. Knowledge generating activities like R & D suffer from all three types of market failure. Moreover, when there is a wedge between private and social profitability, like that existent in pure research. Private

SBILD NUNGAMBAKKAM Page 222 finance may not be forthcoming. Thus, even in a deregulated regime the state will have three specific and selective roles in fostering science and technology viz., financier of fundamental research, provider of infrastructure and regulator of property rights. The Approach paper of the Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002) rightly pointed out. “Experience of many developing and industrialized countries suggest that a rapid acceleration of industrial technology development calls for a deliberate ‘strategy’, in the sense that it requires the Government to coordinate and guide an essentially market driven process. Free markets suffer from various kinds of ‘market failures’ They may not throw up the appropriate amounts of infrastructure, skill, information and institutional support and mere exposure to market forces, while getting rid of inefficient policies may not suffice to create the technological dynamism that continued industrial growth needs.” Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below: 1.What does the author recommend to solve the incentive problem? a) Heavy cash awards b) An effective and speedy patent legal framework c) Government Subsidies on inventions. d) Approved financiers to facilitate innovative activities. 2.What reason do you attribute to the fact that China filed 70000 patents to India’s 4000 in a given year? a) The Chinese are a more creative lot. b) Chinese govt. is eager to file more patents as compared to other countries. c) India suffers from a slow process of patenting d Indian Govt. discourages potential inventors. 3.What are the consequences of the regulatory frameworks on the adopted modes of industrial research in India? a) It reflects directly on innovative research b) Consequences are likely to affect imitative research or reverse engineering. c) Exerts an unfavorable effect on private innovators d) None of these. 4.What according to the author is going to be a serious challenge with respect to the Draft Ninth Plan? a) To secure grants for funding research b) To make India a prominent player at trade related meets

SBILD NUNGAMBAKKAM Page 223 c) To secure a favourable deal at the impending review of the TRIPS agreement in the WTO. d) International frameworks to favour Indian patent laws and Intellectual property Rights 5.Who are the important entities that play a significant role in the evolution of patents? a) Patent agents, patent attorneys and scientists b) Government agencies and financiers c) Scientific advisors working in coordination with private innovators d) The passage does not specify. 6. What stand does the author take with regard to knowledge generating activities like R & D? a) That not much is done by the state to promote R & D b) It is difficult to find financiers-private or state owned c ) It argues well for the country’s knowledge management if there is non interference by the government. d)He maintains that they are bound to suffer from the three sources of market failure, namely indivisibility, uncertainty and externalities. 7.According to the Approach Paper to the Ninth Five Year Plan, what kind of a role is suggested for the state as far as fostering science and technology is concerned ? a) Fostering foreign collaborations b) Not to adopt any specific strategy c) Three specific roles, namely financier of fundamental research, provider of infrastructure and regulator of property rights d) All of the above. Choose the word which has the same meaning as the word given in the passage: 8.Innovate a) Modernize b) invention c ) venure d) Innumerable 9. Stand point a) A point that stands apart b) Points out c) a point of view d) Stand still 10.Archaic a) Primitive b) Very cold c) Place where historical documents are stored d) Modern 11.
