Ponzi, chit funds schemes need better surveillance, not new regulator: Subbarao

10 Jun 2013 Evaluate

Concerned over the ponzi and chit fund schemes collecting huge amounts of public money, the RBI governor D Subbarao said that the central bank is of the view that setting up a new regulator might not solve the problem and such illegal activities can only be checked by stronger surveillance and better enforcement of laws.

Subbarao favored a review of the present legal framework to remove any loopholes and said that active involvement of state governments is very important to keep a tab on such activities and take action against the culprits. An amendment of the regulations would not be sufficient and an effective implementation of laws is more important to tackle this menace, he added.

The governor’s comments come against the backdrop of numerous cases about investors being duped of thousands of crores of rupees by ponzi schemes across the country, particularly in north-east area. By adding further he said, the recent scams have occurred in unregulated and illegal entities and need to tighten regulation to make regulation more effective.

Moreover, as per Subbarao, there is lack of clarity on what a legal deposit is and what is illegal, and if these are legal schemes that who is the concerned regulator. The issue is currently being debated by a Parliamentary Committee and an inter-ministerial group, among other forums.
