Money laundering:

"Money laundering is the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained illegally by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions."

Money laundering typically includes three stages: placement, layering and integration stage.

✏️Placement is the first step of money laundering which is the process of moving the money into the legitimate source via financial institutions, casinos, financial instruments etc. and at the same time, hiding its source.

✏️The second stage is “layering”, also referred as “structuring stage”. It breaks the funds into small transactions and makes it difficult to detect and find out about the laundering activity. It usually entails international money movement, so the law enforcement agencies won’t be able to track the financial gains from illegal proceedings so easily.

✏️The third stage is Integration stage, In this stage, money is now returned to the criminals legitimately after it has been placed in the financial system, often breaking it into different multiple smaller financial transactions. Criminals can now retrieve their illicit funds in a legal way after fully integrating them into a legitimate source, and are able to use them for any purpose.

"Anti-money laundering (AML) refers to the laws, regulations and procedures intended to prevent criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income."

⏺Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted by the government to prevent money-laundering and to provide for confiscation of property derived from money-laundering. PMLA and the Rules notified there under came into force with effect from July 1, 2005.

📌 अर्थव्यवस्था के प्रकार –

✍️ कृषक अर्थव्यवस्था – अगर किसी अर्थव्यवस्था के सकल उत्पादन (सकल घरेलू उत्पाद) में प्राथमिक क्षेत्र का योगदान 50% या इससे अधिक हो तो वह कृषक अर्थव्यवस्था कही जाती है।

✍️ औद्योगिक अर्थव्यवस्था – ऐसी अर्थव्यवस्था में उसकी सकल आय में द्वितीयक क्षेत्र का हिस्सा 50% या इससे अधिक रहता है तथा इसी अनुपात में इस क्षेत्रक पर लोगों की निर्भरता भी रहती है। पूरा का पूरा यूरोप-अमेरिका इस स्थिति में रहा था, जब उन्हें औद्योगिक अर्थव्यवस्था का नाम दिया गया था। यह स्थिति भारत में अभी तक नहीं आयी न तो द्वितीयक क्षेत्र का योगदान इस स्तर तक बढ़ा न ही इस पर जनसंख्या की निर्भरता ही बढ़ी।

✍️ सेवा अर्थव्यवस्था – ऐसी अर्थव्यवस्था जिसके अंतर्गत सकल आय में तृतीयक क्षेत्र का योगदान 50% या उससे ज्यादा होता है, उसे सेवा अर्थव्यवस्था कहा जाता है।

📌 Types of Economy –

✍️ Agrarian Economy – If the contribution of the primary sector in the gross production (Gross Domestic Product) of an economy is 50% or more, then it is called agrarian economy.

✍️ Industrial Economy - In such an economy, the share of the secondary sector in its gross income is 50% or more and in the same proportion the dependence of the people on this sector is also there. The whole of Europe-America had been in this state when they were named industrial economies. This situation has not yet come in India, neither the contribution of the secondary sector has increased to this level nor the dependence of the population on it has increased.

✍️ Service Economy - An economy in which the tertiary sector contributes 50% or more to the gross income is called a service economy.

📍 POTENTIAL GDP

#Nationalincome

💡 Potential output is what the economy can produce without destabilizing the macroeconomic fundamentals like inflation, interest rates, fiscal deficit and so on.

💡 It is the optimum production that can be achieved over the long term.

💡 The actual GDP is what is produced, and the difference between potential output and actual output is referred to as output gap or GDP gap. It indicates the policies that need to be followed, either to accelerate or decelerate the growth rate.

💡 Sustainability is crucial in deciding on potential output. Sustainability is in terms of prices, fiscal deficit, current account deficit (exports cannot be boosted by devaluing the exchange rate as it can be dysfunctional), financial sector not accumulating Non- Performing Assets (NPAs), etc.

📍 MARKET STABILIZATION BONDS

#Monetarypolicy

💡 For normal liquidity management, there are open market operations of the RBI when the RBI tolls and buys G-secs as the market conditions demand.

💡 But when the need to absorb huge amounts of cash arises, for example post demonetization in 2016, normal OMOS do not work.

💡 When foreign currency comes into the country, it gets converted into rupees and enters the economy. RBI prints rupees to buy the foreign currency. Thus, the rupee flow increases and is inflationary.

💡 It needs to be absorbed by the RBI. In 2004, RBI floated large amount of Government securities, as a part of the Market Stabilization Scheme (MSS), to absorb excess liquidity from the market. MSS is a sterilization effort of the central bank.

💡 The normally available government securities are not enough for the RBI to draw out the huge rupee supply (printed money) that was created for buying the dollar. Therefore, the MSS was started.


📍 LIQUIDITY TRAP

#Monetarypolicy

💡 A liquidity trap is a situation when rates and reserve requirements are lowered to stimulate demand, but it does not have the positive impact on reviving demand and growth. There are no takers for bank credit.

💡 It happens in times of recession that is getting worse. There are deflationary expectations and the economy can be faced with the problem of short-term interest rates reaching or nearing zero. This makes the monetary policy ineffective.

💡 Money supply can be increased by printing more to make credit cheap and de-risk lending. Otherwise, recession can turn into depression. It is called the Zero Lower Bound (ZLB).



📍ANCHOR INVESTOR

#Stockmarket

💡 Anchor investors or cornerstone investors (as they are called globally) are institutional investors like sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds and pension funds that are invited to subscribe for shares ahead of the IPO to boost the popularity of the issue and provide confidence to potential IPO investors.

💡 The benefit for institutional investors applying in anchor quota is that they get guaranteed allotment.

💡 Anchor investors, however, can- not sell their shares for a period of 30 days from the date of allotment as against IPO investors who can sell on listing day.

🧰SGST
🔷SGST का फुल फॉर्म होता है- State GST. इसका हिंदी में मतलब होता है-राज्य जीएसटी। यह उस राज्य के हिस्से का GST होता है, जहां पर उस सामान की या सेवा की खपत होनी है। खरीदार और विक्रेता एक ही राज्य के होने पर SGST + CGST जोड़कर वसूले जाते हैं।

हिन्दी में इसका अर्थ होता है- माल एवं सेवा कर। इसे, वस्तुओं (Goods) की खरीदारी करने पर या सेवाओं (Services) का इस्तेमाल करने पर चुकाना पड़ता है। जुलाई 2017 के पहले मौजूद कई तरह के टैक्सों (Excise Duty, VAT, Entry Tax, Service Tax वगैरह) को हटाकर, उनकी जगह पर, सिर्फ एक टैक्स GST के नाम से लागू हो गया है।

🧰CGST क्या है ?
🔷सीजीएसटी अंतरराज्यीय लेनदेन के लिए रिलेवेंट है। यानी की उपभोक्ता एवं विक्रेता जब एक ही राज्य से वस्तुओं को सप्लाई करते है। इसमें केंद्र सरकार के द्वारा कर संग्रह को सक्षम करने के लिए वस्तुओं और सेवाओं पर CGST लागू किया जाता है। CGST SGST के साथ एकत्र किया जाता है। CGST उन सभी वस्तुओं पर लगायी जाती है जो घरेलु आवश्यकताओं से लेकर विलासिता तक और विनिर्माण सेवाओं से लेकर पेशेवर सेवाओं तक होती है।

🧰IGST
🔷IGST का फुल फॉर्म होता है-Integrated GST. इसका हिंदी में मतलब होता है-एकीकृत जीएसटी। जब कोई सौदा, दो अलग-अलग राज्यों के कारोबारियों के बीच हौता है तो उस पर दो टैक्स नहीं लगते। बल्कि, सिर्फ एक ही टैक्स लगता है-एकीकृत जीएसटी (Integrated GST)।

📍 BUDGET DEFICIT

💡 A budgetary deficit is referred to as the situation in which the spending is more than the income. Although it is mostly used for governments, this can also be broadly applied to individuals and businesses.

💡 In other words, a budgetary deficit is said to have taken place when the individual, government, or business budgets have more spending than the income that they can generate as revenue.


📍 GENDER BUDGETING

💡 GB is concerned with gender sensitive formulation of legislation, programmes and schemes; allocation of resources; implementation and execution; audit and impact assessment of programmes and schemes; and follow-up corrective action to address gender disparities.

💡 A powerful tool for achieving gender mainstreaming so as to ensure that benefits of development reach women as much as men.

💡 Does not seek to create a separate budget but seeks affirmative action to address specific needs of women.

💡 Monitors expenditure and public service delivery from a gender perspective.

💡 Entails dissection of the Government budgets to establish its gender differential impacts and to ensure that gender commitments are translated in to budgetary commitments.


📍 WHAT IS A FISCAL DEFICIT ?

💡 The fiscal deficit is the difference between the government’s total expenditure and its total receipts (excluding borrowing). A fiscal deficit occurs when this expenditure exceeds the revenue generated.

▪︎ Fiscal deficit is when a government’s total expenditures exceed the revenue that it generates (excluding money from borrowings).

▪︎ The deficit does not mean debt, which is an addition of annual deficits.

📍 LIQUIDITY ADJUSTMENT FACILITY

#Monetarypolicy

💡 Banks need liquidity to meet their daily mismatches between need and availability.

💡 RBI helps them with a limited amount on a short-term basis through LAF.

💡 Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) was introduced by RBI in 2000. It is the window through which RBI adjusts liquidity (credit) in the market against the collateral of government securities.

💡 When banks borrow under LAF, they do so at Repo rate. Banks undertake to repurchase the security at a later date, be it over night or a few days.

💡 Reverse Repo is when RBI borrows short-term from the market (absorbs excess liquidity) based on government securities and repurchases them. The rate at which it borrows is called Reverse Repo rate as it is the reverse of the Repo.
