Finance minister says no liquidity issue post 'tonic-like' meet with banks


New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS): Describing her meeting with the bankers as a "tonic", Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Thursday that there is no liquidity related problems being faced by the private sector lenders and the non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).

Addressing the media after meeting the bankers, NBFCs and mutual funds, Sitharaman said that no banks or other financial institutions felt that there is a problem of liquidity in the system.

She said that banks have been invited to participate in the credit outreach programme spanning 400 districts.

The Finance Minister further said that the service sector has shown high appetite for credit. On the ongoing subdued demand in the automobile sector, Sitharaman said that low commercial vehicle demand is a cyclical problem.

She said that all financial institutions are largely optimistic and hope that the upcoming festive season would boost consumption and demand. Sitharaman also said the affordable housing scheme has taken off well.

    The whole scenario sounds like India is heading the Zimbabwe way.

    It won't hurt to withdraw some cash and keep it safe. Just in case...

    It may be be good to also buy a couple extra rice/wheat bags. Just in case...

    On 20 September, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced a deep cut in corporate tax rates, from 30 percent to 22 percent. This, according to experts, will mean a loss of Rs 1.45 lakh crore in tax revenues.

    Instead of giving this bonanza to corporates on taxes what Govt should have done is declare that all due payments of Govt to unlisted companies (mostly SMEs) will be cleared within 45 days. If not delays will invoke interest on due amount?

    Finance minister says no liquidity issue because her BJP government has looted and scooted Reserve Bank of India's 1.76 Lakh crores to meet the deficit of 1.77 lakh crores.

    After the 10 nationalized banks merger the Indian economy heading for a crisis like 'Greece' with tumbling Rupee value like Zimbabawen Dollars.

    The worst is the Modi government was “shattering” people’s trust in LIC by investing the state-run insurance firm’s money in loss-making companies. The LIC invested Rs 10.7 lakh crore in the last five years in the public sector, only marginally less than the Rs 11.94 lakh crore that was cumulatively invested between 1956, the year it was founded, to 2014.

    LIC may directly hit its 28.24 crore policyholders, around 1.12 lakh employees and 10.72 lakh active agents. The liability has increased to ₹7.40 lakh crore which is a matter of concern.

    IDBI posted a loss of Rs 3,800 crores in June 2019 with almost 29% non-performing assets this Union cabinet has announced that Rs 9,300 crores are to be infused into the IDBI this month.

    The BJP's government $5 trillion economies have used around ₹30,000 crores to bail out IDBI. Perhaps you may one of the 29 crores policyholder who has saved money for daughter wedding, son education, health insurance and for the worst financial crisis will be like 'Punjab Maharashtra Bank' account holders?

    Next will it be an IDBI, UCO or LIC is going to be history without Demonetisation?

    Stop insisting payment by digital transaction to roadside chai and Pakoda vendors if you really want to stop liquidity crunch. Don't expect every penny to come to your account from every money transaction through digital transaction so that opposition will not get hold of it.

    Very easier to narrate a stories.
    1.20000 limit why?
    2.6months only 20000 why?
    3.who will pay public hard earned money?
    4.no liquidity?
    5.why bank merger?

    Fact is demonetisation failure.
    Business slow down.
    Economy slow down.
    Loan given from banks before demonetisationnot re overed due to 90 percentage of business collapsed.
