In order to avoid default risks, the Finance Ministry is likely to ask the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to put strong regulatory framework around non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) accessing non-bank public deposits, like pension and provident fund. The Ministry may ask for putting strong regulatory framework as these are savings, pension and provident fund, of the salaried class and must be kept away from avoidable risks like infrastructure NBFCs.
NBFCs are major finance providers, they are at present in deficit. Their sources of funds are the market, not public. There has to be greater granularity in their liquidity requirements vis-a-vis the assets and liabilities, and the RBI will look into that. Remarking that there are asset-liability mismatches in some cases, only the infrastructure-funding NBFCs need a separate credit window. Public deposit is not the option, in case of such NBFCs.
Retirement and insurance funds are hard-earned money of the middle class saved for twlight years and emergencies. Such savings should not be invested in markets, where the risks are unseen and sudden and the hope for higher returns may sometimes result in exemplary losses, as seen in the case of IL&FS, where after losing money the middle class investors looked up to the government for recovery.
