Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Dansari Anasuya (Seethakka) urged the Centre to withdraw the proposed VB GRAM G Act and restore the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) as a rights-based law.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Minister Dansari Anasuya said she had written three separate letters to Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, reiterating the State government’s primary demand for withdrawal of the VB GRAM G Act, restoration of the Right to Work and reinstatement of the authority of Panchayats. At the same time, she said, the State had placed before the Centre a set of suggestions and objections, considering that the Union government was proceeding with the legislation.

The Minister opposed the proposed fund allocation methodology as well as mandatory 60-day employment holiday.

The Union Budget has proposed certain amendments to the Banking Regulation Act, the Banking Companies Act and the Reserve Bank of India Act to improve bank governance and enhance protection of investors.

To build the capacity of functionaries and professionals in the securities market, the Securities and Exchange Board of India will be empowered to develop, regulate, maintain and enforce norms and standards for education in the National Institute of Securities Markets and recognise the award of degrees, diplomas and certificates, the Finance Minister said in her Budget speech.

To reduce the cost of compliance, financial sector regulators will carry out a comprehensive review of existing regulations and consider suggestions from the public and regulated entities, Prem Rajani, managing partner, Rajani Associates, said.

“It will be interesting to see the amendments that will be made in the laws to improve banking regulations,” he said, adding that the Budget reiterated the government’s commitment to deploy technology to augment the financial sector. 

“The focus on the deployment of DigiLocker and the development of a National Financial Information Registry will not only serve as a central repository of financial and ancillary information but also promote financial inclusion and ease of doing business,” Mr. Rajani said.
