Action has been initiated to make comprehensive amendments to the RBI Act, Vikhe-Patil said. Representations have been received largely in respect of the provisions relating to non-banking finance corporations, or NBFCs. Every representation of input received from any source constitutes a valuable input in the ongoing process of ensuring that legislative provisions meet the requirements they are intended to meet. A few cases of circulation of manufacture of fake coins have come to notice, Vikhe-Patil said. He said there is no proposal to launch any new self-employment scheme to provide loans to the unemployed youths specifically for the other backward classes.
