FSLRC: The cast of 146

There is little experience in India with large complex projects of drafting law. The process adopted by FSLRC had many strengths. In the table below, I have pulled together the names of all 146 persons mentioned in the report. A diverse array of knowledge and perspective was brought into the project. In addition, the work took place over two years with a large dedicated workforce. In these respects, it represents an important contrast with the small closed groups, and small scale of resources, that have traditionally done drafting of law in India.

  1. Collective wisdom in drafting a Law of the nature that has implications for a century ahead is always a virtue. I know at least 30 out of the 146 very familiarly.
    The matter of setting up a Unified Regulatory Authority with overweighing power in the hands of the Government is fraught with great risk knowing the way governments work.
    I am particularly weary of clipping the power of RBI as Monetary authority making it a plural organisation with representatives of the Government participating. I am one who believes that the economy would be safe when a counterweighing balance rests with the autonomy of the central bank.This belief is not psychological in nature but borne by the experience of countries where independence of the central bank is upheld.

    1. May I suggest a careful reading of the present RBI Act and the proposed Indian Financial Code.

      The present RBI Act has zero autonomy for RBI.

      The proposed Indian Financial Code has very strong autonomy for RBI. The autonomy of RBI under the Code would be greater than that of the Bank of England today.

      If you think the central bank should have more independence, you will like the Indian Financial Code.
