Lower interest rate can help govt achieve full benefit of note ban: CII

15 May 2017 Evaluate

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has demanded lower interest rate for private sector investments to pick up, which can help the government to achieve full benefit of note ban. CII President Shobana Kamineni said that the recent ordinance to resolve bad loans will give banks that have been hesitant for the past two years the confidence to lend. However, she also said that the industry would need lower interest rates for picking up demand. With the ordinance, she pointed out that right steps have been taken on the supply side, but the demand side is waiting for a trigger or a signal of lower interest rate.

She said that industry is reasonably prepared for rolling out the country’s biggest reform by way of Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July 1. She also suggested fixing of a sunset period for cess to be levied on luxury cars, tobacco and aerated beverages. Talking about the anti-profiteering clause in the GST Bill, Kamineni has recommended that it should not be used in a discretionary manner. She also said that it leaves scope for ambiguity of declaring something as profiteering and since most products have MRPs, the scope for profiteering does not arise. She added that they are against anything that is ambiguous and discriminatory that leaves it for interpretation.

Earlier this month, the government through an ordinance amended a law to give powers to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to order banks to initiate insolvency proceedings against defaulters and to create committees to advise them on recovering non- performing loans. The increased powers given to the RBI to clean up asset quality, and to intervene at an early stage when risks build, represents an important positive step toward ensuring a healthy banking system in the future.
