Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is used by the RBI to control the supply of money in the economy. The amount of money determinFor example: Let us say the RBI increases the CRR by 0.25%{0.25% roughly equals about Rs8000 crore (Rupees Eight Thousand Crore only).}. This would mean that banks would have to keep more money with the RBI (Rs8000 crore will go into the RBI). This would reduce the money available with them. So this brings down the overall money supply in the market. A lower money supply would raise the interest rates (as demand for money is always high). Now look at the reverse scenario. A reduction in CRR by 0.25% would release Rs 8000 crore into the market. As the money supply rises, the interest rates decrease.es the rates of interest and the prices of different commodities. Accrual Accounting ?

An accounting method that measures the performance and position of a company by recognizing economic events regardless of when cash transactions occur.

This method allows the current cash inflows/outflows to be combined with future expected cash inflows/outflows to give a more accurate picture of a company's current financial condition....

Getting tax benefits from own country and working or migrated country due to non-tax agreements between these two countries Rupee Depreciation. ?

Currency depreciation is the loss of value of a country's currency with respect to one or more foreign reference currencies, typically in a floating exchange rate system. It is most often used for the unofficial increase of the exchange rate due to market forces, though sometimes it appears interchangeably with devaluation. A currency will tend to become more valuable when its demand is higher than supply. A currency will tend to become less valuable when its demand is less than supply. We can take our real time example of stock market investment to understand the above principle. As we know that, our stock market is dominated by the overseas investors (outside India), because of the our growing economy and industrial development. When our economy is doing well and market is performing better than other countries, overseas investors would invest heavily on our market. How they would put it in our market?. They will sell or convert to our currency and invest in India. It is clear that when more investors coming to India, the demand for the currency will be very high. Our rupee value will be increased against dollar. In the same way, when they are pulling out of market, demand for the rupee will be decreased and value is depreciated. Previously we have seen RBI has acted to stop theerosion of rupeevalue against the dollar currency. What it did was sold the dollar currency in the market to increase the value of rupee. But, it is very difficult for the Reserve Bank of a country to adjust the value of the currency, the long term solution would be fix the problem in economy and bring the inflation into control.

India is heavily depend on the import of raw materials and Oil for its industrial development. In the decreasing rupee scenario, the outgo of money will be much higher. This would affect the expenses for the companies who imports raw materials for their factory and all the Oil Marketing Companies (OMC) will incur heavy payment to import the Oil. There are three main factor influencing the fluctuation of currency inflation, interest rates, current account deficit. The following are the factors which would slide down the rupee value. *Foreign fun outflow. * Govt. Deficit is high. *Political uncertainty and high corruption. TIEA??? Tax Information Exchange Agreement. Recently signed between India and Bahrain,aimed at economic cooperation and joint investment. Statutory Liquidity Ratio ? what is present SLR ? why we need to it far as concern INDAIan economy/ SLR is Statutory Liquidity Ratio. Its the percentage of Demand and Time Maturities that banks need to have in any or combination of the following forms: i) Cash ii) Gold valued at a price not exceeding the current market price, iii) Unencumbered approved securities (G Secs or Gilts come under this) valued at a price as specified by the RBI from time to time. The maximum limit of SLR is 40% and minimum limit of SLR is 24%. Its 24% now. This restriction is imposed by RBI on banks to make funds available to customers on demand as soon as possible. Gold and G Secs (or Gilts) are included along with cash because they are highly liquid and safe assets. The RBI can increase the SLR to contain inflation, suck liquidity in the

market, to tighten the measure to safeguard the customers money. In a growing economy banks would like to invest in stock market, not in G Secs or Gold as the latter would yield less returns. One more reason is long term G Secs (or any bond) are sensitive to interest rate changes. But in an emerging economy interest rate change is a common activity.

With the adoption of the convention of the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) by the early eighties, a new International order of economic jurisdiction of 200 nautical miles (1 nm = 1.85 km) for the coastal states wasestablished. India thus obtained a wide exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of about 2.172-million km2 in the sea all along the 7500 km long coastline around her.
