MCLR Vs Base rate

MCLR Vs Base rate mechanism:

 Prior to the introduction of #MCLR, bank had minimum rate of interest known as #Base_rate.
Now the formula to calculate base rate had four inputs namely:
1. Cost of deposit like tier I tier II capital deposits etc

2. Operational cost like the price spend to raise business and loan, building operating cost staff cost etc

3. Profit margin which banks seek to make for its shareholders 

4. Negative return on CRR since crr money cannot be used by bank for its business nor RBI refunds the opportunity cost to the commercial bank.

But this system had some flaw. It was not taking into account Repo rate reverse Repo rate etc into consideration directly.  It was left to the bank.

So in 2016, RBI came with another tool called MCLR Marginal Cost of fund based Lending Rate.

This MCLR had its own formula of calculation which was borrowed  from the above formula of Base Rate with tweaks and updated input to the formula.
MCLR formula also have four inputs. They are:

1. Operational cost like base rate above 

2. Negative return on CRR like base rate above

3.  Term period of loan or tenor premium- it means higher the time period of loan, greater the risk of default.

4. Marginal cost of fund : now this marginal cost of fund includes Repo rate in it

So ,technically a Repo rate change has its effect on MCLR.  if all things kept constant then raise of RR will increase MCLR too and vice versa.

evaporation

what causes water to evaporate every fluid (pure) has a definite vapor pressure at a fixed temperature , now if any how the partial presuure of the fluiid is less then the the vapor pressure of the fluid then the fluid starts evaporating to attain the partial pressure equal to the  vapor pressure of the fluid, and then the equllibrium is reached and evaporation stops.                              basically at the top of the fluid there is a random motion of the fluid molecule due to the difference between the adhasive and cohesive forces, some molecule say 'n' goes into the vapur phase and some strikes back say m such that n>m then after the above explained condition is achived then the constraint m=n. conclusion whenever there is the fluid in liquid state is  present then in that system partial pressure is exactly to the va...

Santhal Paragana Tenancy Act, 1949 : Overview and issues

Colonial Background:- Administrative division of Santhal Parganas covers the geographical area of Rajmahal hills, and valleys and plains area along the hills. This area was never under jurisdiction of any of the rulers before the arrival of colonial power, more so Damin–i-koh area ( Jungelarry tracts). This area was semi-independent country under Pahariya tribes .The East India Company introduced extractive zamindari system through Zamindars of Sultanbad (Maheshpur) and Ambar (Pakur) to maximise land revenue and also introduced market and monetary economy into the primitive tribal economy in the 18th century. These Zamindars, traders, money lenders, contractors, other service providers and company employees started exploiting the innocent tribal and evicted tribal from their own land. This led to Pahariya Sirkars in 1777-78 and more famous Santhal Insurrection (popularly called Hul) of 1855-57. During this time, British introduced a special system of administration and for this Act XXX...
