Bank rate or discount rate policy
• Discount means the process of converting a bill into money at an earlier date than that is mentioned in the bill of exchange (maturity date).
• The discount is carried if the receiver of the bill of exchange needs money urgently.
• In this process, the receiver can approach a bank. The bank accepts the bill of exchange
and pays. For this purpose, it can deduct some percentage of money as interest.
Example – for a bill of exchange of 2000 the bank may pay `1840 after deducting 8% interest.
• On the maturity date, the bank will receive full amount from the purchaser. But if the bank needs money urgently the bank will convert these into monies at a lesser discount rate from RBI.
• Example – at 6% the bank will receive 1880. The profit for bank is 40. This is called as rediscount. This rate is called as bank rate or discount rate. Apart from bills of exchange, the commercial banks get their government securities discounted from RBI.
• To be precise, the bank rate or the discount rate is the rate fixed by the central bank at which it rediscounts first class bills of exchange and government securities held by commercial banks.
• By varying bank rate, the RBI controls the credit. If RBI offers discount at a higher rate (increases the bank rate(BR)) the bank’s profit may be affected. So, it will not approach RBI for discounting or will charge higher discount rate from customer. So the customer may not discount his bill. Hence, the money supply will be low. The reverse is the case when RBI reduces the bank rate. So, depending on the economic condition, RBI alters the bank rate. If there is high inflation, the bank rate will be high and vice versa.
• In short – If BR↑(high) → profit of bank↓(low) → money supply↓
• If BR↓ → profit of bank ↑ → money supply↑
• The rate has direct impact on long—term lending activities of the concerned lending
bodies operating in the Indian financial system. The rate was realigned with the MSF (Marginal Standing Facility) by the RBI in February 2012.

Oxfam report findings:
The richest 1 per cent in India cornered 73 per cent of the wealth generated in the country last year. Besides, 67 crore Indians comprising the population’s poorest half saw their wealth rise by just 1 per cent.
The situation appears even more grim globally, where 82 per cent of the wealth generated last year worldwide went to the 1 per cent, while 3.7 billion people that account for the poorest half of population saw no increase in their wealth.

Protocol for Star Rating of Garbage-Free Cities
The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has launched the ‘Protocol for Star Rating of Garbage-Free Cities’ in Goa. It has been developed under Swachh Bharat Mission – Urban for rating cities on 7-star rating system based on multiple cleanliness indicators for solid waste management.
Key Facts
Indicators: These include Door to Door garbage Collection, source segregation, sweeping, scientific processing of waste, bulk generator compliance, scientific land filling, construction and demolition management, plastic waste management, dump remediation & citizen grievance redressal system etc.
Rating: Cities will be rated as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 star based on their compliance with protocol conditions specified for each of rating. City will be given rating of 3 star or above only after it is declared ODF (Open Defecation Free).
Cities can self-declare themselves as 1-star, 2-star or 4-star provided that MoHUA carry out additional verification through independent third party to certify cities as 3-star, 5-star or 7-star. Cities need to get themselves recertified every year to retain their star-status.
Significance
It provides stakeholders with single metric to rate a city’s cleanliness, rather than separately evaluating multiple factors which contribute to city’s overall cleanliness and garbage free status. It will assess many cities for having higher stars as compared to only one city being “Cleanest city” under Swachh Survekshan.
