@batman010827054 when in doubt, NCERT trumps all.

There is also wrong fact in NCERT about which is largest island in Lakshadweep. Wiki says Andrott while NCERT says Minicoy (if i remember correctly).

Laxmikanth (Parliament Chapter)


Financial Bills (II)- The only special feature of this bill is that it cannot be passed by either House of Parliament unless the President has recommended to that House the consideration of the bill. Hence, financial bills (II) can be introduced in either House and recommendation of the President is not necessary for its introduction.


Can anyone please explain what does these lines trying to say and how 2nd statement is the conclusion of the 1st statement?

@Breaker_Morant Next few lines: In other words, the recommendation of the President is not required at the introduction stage but is required at the consideration stage.

Consider it as an ordinary bill, same procedure for passing it with provisions like joint seating, president returning bill for reconsideration of parliament etc.

At consideration stage, President's recommendation is must (but not at introduction stage).

Can MFIs (Micro Finance Institutions) take deposits?

Rau's IAS Prelims Compass 2021: As per RBI guidelines, They can't, they are non-deposit taking NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies) 

Vision PT 365: Functions include a collection of thrift

Please enlighten me with your knowledge and views.

Edited later:I found this from RBI's website: NBFC-MFI is defined as a non-deposit taking NBFC (other than a company licensed under Section 25 of the Indian Companies Act, 1956)

@EUROPOL MFIs encompass all entities involved in providing microloans (below ₹1 lakh). These can include SFBs, NBFC-MFI etc. 
Thus, a NBFC-MFI cannot accept deposits while a SFB can.

@necromancer ok... so, you are saying that under the umbrella term of MFIs, SFBs & NBFC-MFIs both will come. But, newspapers clearly talk about them separately like in yesterday's paper there was an article about SFBs giving money to MFIs.

@EUROPOL not all SFBs are MFIs. Microfinance is a concept, entities providing microfinance in India are a wide bunch. These include SFBs, NBFC-MFIs, banks, Cooperatives. Thus, SFBs can provide capital to MFIs too.
