Detailed Explanation:
The FIU serves as a national agency responsible for receiving, processing, analysing and disseminating information concerning suspicious financial transactions within Indian economic channels to various enforcement agencies and foreign FIUs. In December 2020, the federal anti-money laundering agency levied a penalty of INR 96 Lakh against the global online payments giant, alleging non-compliance with the PMLA by failing to register as a reporting entity. Earlier, PayPal refused to register itself as a reporting entity under the provisions of the PMLA, arguing that it only operated in India as an Online Payment Gateway Service Provider (OPGSP) or a payment intermediary, and therefore, does not come under the definition of a payment system operator under the PMLA provisions. The Delhi High Court has set aside a penalty of INR 96 Lakh imposed on online payment major PayPal by the finance ministry’s Financial Intelligence Unit-India for allegedly violating India’s anti-money laundering law. However, the court stated that PayPal is a ‘payment system operator’ within the framework of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Hence, it is obliged to follow the reporting entity obligations under the PMLA. As per the court order, PayPal will have to comply with Section 12 of the PMLA. As a ‘reporting entity’, it is mandatory to verify and maintain records of all transactions and identities of all its clients for ten years. The US-based company had also been accused of “concealing” doubtful financial transactions and abetting the “disintegration” of India’s financial system by the FIU. In further serious charges, PayPal was stated to be “defeating and frustrating” the tenets of public interest and the provisions of the high-profile Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), which targets economic crimes, terrorist financing and black money rackets. The FIU had asked PayPal in March 2018 to register as a reporting entity to record all its transactions in India, while also reporting suspicious transactions and cross-border wire transfers, which were then analysed by the FIU’s financial investigators and other agencies for further action.
However, despite the order, PayPal declined to register as a reporting entity, saying that it was compliant with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines for an Online Payment Gateway Service Provider (OPGSP) or a payments intermediary which is not covered under the PMLA.
2) उत्तर: E
संक्षिप्त व्याख्या:
इंडिया इंक ने वित्त वर्ष 24 के पहले नौ महीनों (9M) में एक साल पहले की अवधि की तुलना में कॉर्पोरेट बॉन्ड जारी करने के माध्यम से ₹80,000 करोड़ अधिक जुटाए।
आरबीआई के आंकड़ों के अनुसार, 2023-24 के दौरान (1 अप्रैल से नवंबर 2023 के अंत तक) कॉर्पोरेट बॉन्ड जारी करना एक साल पहले के ₹5.3 लाख करोड़ की तुलना में 15 प्रतिशत अधिक ₹6.1 लाख करोड़ था।
Detailed Explanation:
India Inc raised ₹80,000 crore more via corporate bond issuances in the first nine months (9M) of FY24 vis-a-vis year-ago period. Corporate bond issuances during 2023-24 (from April 1 up to November-end 2023) were 15 per cent higher year-on-year (yoy) at ₹6.1-lakh crore compared with ₹5.3-lakh crore a year ago, per RBI data.
Easing long-term yields and relative stability in the bond market amidst a healthy economic outlook has prompted issuers to raise funds for investments through debt issuances, per an article “State of the Economy” in RBI’s latest monthly bulletin.
In fact, corporate bond investors are snapping up new issues worldwide, locking in elevated yields ahead of what they believe as imminent interest rate cuts. Investor preference is tilted in favour of investment grade issuances, with a predominant portion picked up by banks and financial companies, the researchers stated. Venkatakrishnan Srinivasan, Founder & Managing Partner, Rockfort Fincap LLP, opined that corporate bond market yields came down sharply compared to bank loan rates on the expectation of future rate cuts. This led to an increase in bond issuances on a sustainable basis. He noted that there has been sustained demand for corporate bonds from investors, including institutional investors such as mutual funds, insurance companies, and pension funds. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, in his February 8th bi-monthly monetary policy statement, observed that the investment cycle is gaining steam, aided by sustained thrust on government capex (capital expenditure); increasing capacity utilisation; rising flow of resources to the commercial sector; and policy support from schemes such as production linked incentive (PLI).

बाजार नियामक सेबी ने अपने क्लोज-एंडेड वेंचर कैपिटल फंड कोटक एसईएएफ इंडिया के कार्यकाल को निर्धारित कार्यकाल से आगे बढ़ाने के लिए कोटक अल्टरनेट इन्वेस्टमेंट फंड और उसके ट्रस्टियों पर ₹3 लाख का जुर्माना लगाया है।
वीसीएफ का कोष 698 करोड़ रुपये था और उसने 18 पोर्टफोलियो कंपनियों में ₹577 करोड़ का निवेश किया था।
Detailed Explanation:
Market regulator SEBI has levied a penalty of ₹3 lakhs on Kotak Alternate Investment Fund and its trustees for extending the tenure of its close-ended venture capital fund Kotak SEAF India beyond the prescribed tenure. The corpus of VCF was ₹698 crore and had invested ₹577 crore in 18 portfolio companies. Per the first closing of the fund in March 2005, the tenure of the fund was for nine years and extendable by one year. It was supposed to end on March 30, 2015 with a one-year extension. However, the fund took three extensions of seven years and it finally closed on March 30, 2022 with a super majority of 75 per cent from investors. SEBI ruled that after the maturity of the fund, as per the Private Placement Memorandum, the trustees have no control over the fund. Kotak AIF stated it had to extend the tenure as the scheme was unable to divest some of its investments as they were under litigation. However, SEBI stated that litigation on investment cannot be a valid ground for extension of tenure as the venture capital regulation has no provision for it. SEBI stated unit holders had no say in deciding the term of the fund at the initial stage of launching of the Scheme and they only subscribed to the scheme as the terms of the scheme suited their investment objective.

संक्षिप्त व्याख्या:
रेटिंग फर्म आईसीआरए ने असमान मानसून, धीमी सरकारी पूंजीगत व्यय और औद्योगिक गतिविधि सहित कुछ संकेतकों में धीमी गति का हवाला देते हुए कहा, इस वित्तीय वर्ष की तीसरी तिमाही में भारत की वास्तविक जीडीपी वृद्धि धीमी होकर 6% होने की संभावना है, जो कि दूसरी तिमाही में 7.6% थी।
राष्ट्रीय सांख्यिकी कार्यालय, जिसने 2023-24 के लिए सकल घरेलू उत्पाद की वृद्धि दर 7.3% होने का अनुमान लगाया है, इस महीने के अंत में तीसरी तिमाही के लिए अपना राष्ट्रीय आय अनुमान जारी करेगा।
Detailed Explanation:
India’s real GDP growth likely slowed to 6% in the third quarter of this fiscal year, from 7.6% in Q2, rating firm ICRA stated, citing the uneven monsoon, slowing government capex and flagging momentum in some indicators, including industrial activity. The National Statistical Office, which has estimated GDP growth for 2023-24 at 7.3%, will release its national income estimates for Q3 at the end of this month. ICRA also expects the economy’s Gross Value Added (GVA) to ease to 6%, from 7.4% in Q2, with the expansion in agriculture GVA pegged at a mere 0.5% and industrial GVA growth seen easing to 8.8%, from 13.2% in the preceding quarter. The deterioration in Q3 industrial growth is partly attributable to an adverse base effect and a deceleration in volume expansion, the rating firm stated. Additionally, a mild 0.2% contraction in total spending by the Centre and 25 State governments last quarter, after an 18.3% increase in Q2 is expected to have impacted GVA growth in the period. “Lower volume growth for the industrial sector, flagging momentum in certain indicators of investment activity, a slowdown in government expenditure and an uneven monsoon are expected to” have dampened the GDP growth in Q3, stated Aditi Nayar, chief economist and head of research and outreach at ICRA. Services GVA growth was projected to have improved to 6.5% in the October-December quarter, from 5.8% in Q2, with the trade, hotels, transport, communication and services related to broadcasting segment estimated to post a near doubling of growth at 8%, from 4.3% in Q2.
