Recommending that a debt fund of ~ 50000 crore be set up for financing infrastructure projects, an expert panel

headed by HDFC Chief, Deepak Parekh, asked the government to change rules to allow funding by pension and

insurance companies. The panel on the infrastructure debt fund has also urged the sectoral regulators – the Reserve

Bank of India (RBI), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Insurance Regulatory and Development

Authority (IRDA), and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) – to tweak their existing

laws to enable market players to use the large amount of untapped insurance and pension funds. Such a move

would help reduce interest costs and hence cut user-charges since banks are not able to provide the required long-

term funds for infrastructure projects, the report said.

In its report submitted to the Planning Commission, the Parekh Committee further suggested that the proposed

infrastructure fund with an initial corpus of ~ 50000 crore be set up as a Venture Capital Fund (VCF) to be managed

and regulated by SEBI. For this purpose, SEBI should be asked to amend its guidelines for VCF to enable investment

in the debt market. At present, only a part of VCF is allowed to be invested in debt, the panel said. The report also

said pension and insurance money should be permitted to be invested in the fund to provide long-term financing

to infrastructure projects coming under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The report suggested that the
IBPS RRB Scale I Officer 2020 Mains Previous Year Paper

IRDA and the interim pension watchdog PFRDA be approached to modify the rules to enable these funds to invest

in the infra fund. Besides, the report recommended that foreign insurance, pension and sovereign funds be asked to

invest in the proposed infra fund. For this, the RBI will have to be approached to create a special window for these

kinds of foreign debt with tenure of 10 years or more. Also, the multilateral agencies like the World Bank and the

Asian Development Bank would be asked to invest in the fund.

Question No. 151

What did the panel headed by HDFC Chief Deepakh Parekh suggest?

Options :

1. All banks should be privatized

Authority (IRDA), and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) – to tweak their existing

laws to enable market players to use the large amount of untapped insurance and pension funds. Such a move

would help reduce interest costs and hence cut user-charges since banks are not able to provide the required long-

term funds for infrastructure projects, the report said.

In its report submitted to the Planning Commission, the Parekh Committee further suggested that the proposed

infrastructure fund with an initial corpus of ~ 50000 crore be set up as a Venture Capital Fund (VCF) to be managed

and regulated by SEBI. For this purpose, SEBI should be asked to amend its guidelines for VCF to enable investment

in the debt market. At present, only a part of VCF is allowed to be invested in debt, the panel said. The report also

said pension and insurance money should be permitted to be invested in the fund to provide long-term financing

to infrastructure projects coming under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The report suggested that the

IRDA and the interim pension watchdog PFRDA be approached to modify the rules to enable these funds to invest

in the infra fund. Besides, the report recommended that foreign insurance, pension and sovereign funds be asked to

invest in the proposed infra fund. For this, the RBI will have to be approached to create a special window for these

kinds of foreign debt with tenure of 10 years or more. Also, the multilateral agencies like the World Bank and the

Asian Development Bank would be asked to invest in the fund.
