BCX (Certificate of Export)

BCX (Certificate of Export)

BCX is a free software programming development application originally created in 1999 by Kevin Diggins. BCX converts BASIC source code to C/C++ source code which can then be compiled using any one of a number of available Microsoft Win32 C/C++ compilers.
For many years, most implementations of BASIC shared a nagging drawback - the programs that users created performed slower than similar programs that were created using C/C++. BCX changed that by giving users the friendliness and ease of use of the BASIC language and coupled it with the high performance and flexibility of C/C++.
BCX is written in the BCX BASIC language, making BCX a self-translating translator. BCX was made an open source project in 2004. Since then, several members of the BCX community have led the continued development and maintenance of BCX. Recent project forks have resulted in variants of BCX that can produce native-code applications that run on Linux and Apple operating systems.
BCX contains verbs that simplify the creation of Windows UI desktop applications. Unlike many BASIC implementations that rely on slow run-time engines, the combination of BCX and most C/C++ compilers produce efficient and high performing native code applications. BCX can be used to easily create GUI, DLL, console mode, and web server applications. BCX also makes it easy to take advantage of the vast number of available C libraries that, for decades, BASIC programmers were unable to benefit from.

Inflation Indexed National Savings Security – Cumulative (IINSS-C)

Application form for Inflation Indexed National Savings Security – Cumulative (IINSS-C)

1. What is the inflation index to which inflation rate will be linked?

Inflation rate will be based on the final combined Consumer Price Index [(CPI) base: 2010=100].

The final combined CPI will be used as reference CPI with a lag of three months. For example, the final combined CPI for September 2013 will be used as reference CPI for whole of December 2013.

2. Who is eligible to invest in the Inflation Indexed National Saving Securities-Cumulative (IINSS-C)?

Only retail investors would be eligible to invest in these securities. The retail investors would include individuals, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), charitable institutions registered under section 25 of the Indian Companies Act and Universities incorporated by Central, State or Provincial Act or declared to be a university under section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956 (3 of 1956).
3. What is the interest rate on these securities?

There will be two parts in the interest rate. One, fixed rate of 1.5% per annum and second, inflation rate.

For example, if inflation rate during the six months is 5%, then interest rate for this six months would be 5.75% (i.e. fixed rate -0.75% and inflation rate -5%).

4. Is there any floor as inflation may turn into deflation at times?

Yes, fixed rate of 1.5% would act as a floor, which means that 1.5% per annum interest rate is guaranteed if there is deflation.

For example, if inflation rate is (-) 5%, then interest rate should be (-) 3.5% by simple calculation. But in such case, negative inflation will not be recognised and investors would get fixed rate of 1.5% (please see example 2 at 23).

5. When do I get interest?

Interest will be accrued and compounded in the principal on half-yearly basis and paid along with principal at the time of redemption.
6. What will I get on redemption?

On redemption, investors will get principal and compounded interest.

8. What will be the process of investing?

Investors can invest through the authorised banks and Stock Holding Corporation of India (SHCIL).

On receipt of money, the bank will register the investor on the RBI’s web-based platform (E-Kuber) and on validation, generate the Certificate of Holding.

9. What will be the form of these securities?

These securities will be issued in the form of Bonds Ledger Account (BLA).

The securities in the form of BLA will be issued and held with RBI and thus, RBI will act as central depository.

A certificate of holding will be issued to the holder of securities in BLA.

10. Whether investor needs to open a BLA account with a bank for making an investing?

Investor does not need to open a BLA with any bank for making investment.

After receiving the money and registration of the investor on RBI’s CBS (E-Kuber), the RBI will open a BLA for each investor and issue a “Certificate of Holding” indicating number of units of IINSS-C held by the investor.

11. Which are the authorised banks?

The authorised banks are SBI & Associates, Nationalised Banks, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank.
12. Should the customer apply through the bank in which he/she has an account?

The banks through which these securities have been purchased will provide other customer services.

Investors can approach the banks for other services such as change of address, early redemption, nomination, lien marking, etc.

14. Whether joint holding will be allowed?

Yes, joint holding will be allowed.
15. What is the minimum and maximum limit for investment?

The minimum investment limit is Rs. 5,000/- (five thousand).

The maximum limit is Rs. 10 lakh per annum for eligible individual investors and Rs. 25 lakh per annum for institutions such as HUFs, Charitable Trusts, Education Endowments and similar institutions which are not pro-profit in nature.

16. Whether premature redemption is allowed?

Yes premature redemption is allowed.

For senior citizens above 65 years, the premature redemption is allowed after one year. For others, it is allowed after 3 years.

Penalty at the rate of half of the last payable coupon will be charged from the investors. For example, if last payable coupon is Rs. 1,000/-, then Rs. 500 would be charged as penalty..

17. How do I redeem these securities?

In case of redemption prematurely before the maturity date, investors can approach the concerned bank few days before the coupon date and apply.

In case of redemption on maturity, the investor will be advised one month before maturity regarding the ensuing maturity of the bond advising them to provide a Letter of Acquaintance, confirming the NEFT account details, etc.

If everything is in order, the investor has to be paid immediately on the maturity date for payments through electronic mode and within maximum five days for any payment through physical instruments.

18. Whether these securities transferable?

Transferability is allowed to the nominee(s) only for individual investors on death of holder.

Transferability is not allowed for other investors

19. Can I use these securities as collateral for loans?

Yes, these securities are eligible to be used as collateral for loans from banks, financial Institutions and Non Banking Financial Companies, (NBFC).

As per the above Section, TDS shall not be deducted from any interest payable on IINSS-C, until and unless notified by the Government of India otherwise.

23. Who will do the KYC?

As customers will be owned by the banks, KYC will also be done by the banks.

OMO Purchase of Government Securities

OMO Purchase of Government Securities

An open market operation (also known as OMO) is an activity by a central bank to buy or sell government bonds on the open market. A central bank uses them as the primary means of implementing monetary policy. The usual aim of open market operations is to manipulate the short term interest rate and the supply of base money in an economy, and thus indirectly control the total money supply, in effect expanding money or contracting the money supply. This involves meeting the demand of base money at the target interest rate by buying and selling government securities, or other financial instruments. Monetary targets, such as inflation, interest rates, or exchange rates, are used to guide this implementation

Since most money now exists in the form of electronic records rather than in the form of paper, open market operations are conducted simply by electronically increasing or decreasing (crediting or debiting) the amount of base money that a bank has in its reserve account at the central bank. Thus, the process does not literally require new currency. However, this will increase the central bank's requirement to print currency when the member bank demands banknotes, in exchange for a decrease in its electronic balance.
When there is an increased demand for base money, the central bank must act if it wishes to maintain the short-term interest rate. It does this by increasing the supply of base money. The central bank goes to the open market to buy a financial asset, such as government bonds. To pay for these assets, bank reserves in the form of new base money (for example newly printed cash) are transferred to the seller's bank and the seller's account is credited. Thus, the total amount of base money in the economy is increased. Conversely, if the central bank sells these assets in the open market, the amount of base money held by the buyer's bank is decreased, effectively reducing base money.
The process works because the central bank has the authority to bring money in and out of existence. They are the only point in the whole system with the unlimited ability to produce money. Another organization may be able to influence the open market for a period time, but the central bank will always be able to overpower their influence with an infinite supply of money
