Basic Concepts of Economics In Simple Language

National Income

Under the broad topic of national income you may hear terms like GDP, GNP, NNP etc.

GDP: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total money value of final goods and services produced in the economic territories of a country in a given year. Total value of goods and services produced in India for 2014-15 is projected to be around 100 lakh crore Indian rupees or around 2 trillion US dollars at current market prices. This is the value of Indian GDP when expressed at current market price.

GDP stands for total value of goods and services produced inside the territory of India irrespective of whom produced it – whether by Indians or foreigners.

GNP: Gross National Product (GNP) is the total value of goods and services produced by the people of a country in a given year. It is not territory specific. If we consider the GNP of India, it can be seen that GNP is lesser than GDP.

monetary policy:-

Monetary policy rafers to policy of central bank. in india  RBI is responsible for monetary policy. Repo, Reverse Repo, CRR, SLR etc are part of monetary policy.

REPO rate: REPO means Re Purchase Option – the rate by which RBI gives loans to other banks. Bank re-purchase the securities deposited with RBI at the REPO rate.

Reverse REPO rate: RBI at times borrows from banks at a rate lower than REPO rate, and that rate is known as Reverse REPO rate. REPO and Reverse Repo are two major options under LAF (Liquidity Adjustment Facility).

Marginal Standing Facility (MSF): MSF is the rate at which scheduled commercial banks could borrow money overnight from RBI against approved securities. Borrowing limit of banks under marginal standing facility is 2 percent of their respective Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL).

Bank Rate: Bank rate is a higher rate, (1% higher than REPO rate) charged by RBI when it gives loans to commercial banks. Present bank rate is 9 %. Bank rate is different from MSF in the nature that Bank rate is long term, applies for all commercial banks and there is no limitation like 2 percent of their respective Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL).

CRR: CRR corresponds to Cash Reserve Ratio. It corresponds to the percentage of liquid reserves each banks have to keep as cash reserve with RBI (in their current accounts) corresponding to the deposits they have. Banks will not get any interest for these deposits.

SLR: SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) corresponds to the percentage of liquid reserves each banks have to keep as cash reserve with themselves corresponding to the deposits they have. Banks have to mandatory keep reserves corresponding to SLR locked with themselves in the form of gold or government securities.

The main difference between CRR and SLR is that banks need to keep CRR with RBI, but SLR with themselves, but locked.

CRAR: Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio is arrived at by dividing the capital of the bank with aggregated risk weighted assets. The higher the CRAR of a bank the better capitalized it is.

Fiscal Policy

Fiscal policy refers to the policy actions of the Government. Budget, tax, subsidies, expenditure etc. forms part of the fiscal policy. You might need to understand various deficits like Fiscal Deficit and Primary Deficit as part of Fiscal Policy.

Fiscal Deficit (FD):  The fiscal deficit is the difference between the government’s total expenditure and its total receipts (excluding borrowing). In layman’s term FD corresponds to borrowings and other liabilities.

Balance of Payments

Current Account Deficit (CAD): Current Account is the sum of the balance of trade (exports minus imports of goods and services), net factor income (such as interest and dividends) and net transfer payments (such as foreign aid). Current account deficit in simple terms is dollars flowing in minus dollars flowing out.

Capital Account Deficit: Capital account Deficit occurs when payments made by a country for purchasing foreign assets exceed payments received by that country for selling domestic assets. (For example, if Indians are buying a lot of properties in US, but if Americans are not buying any properties or buildings in India, India will have Capital Account Deficit.)

A deficit in the capital account means money is flowing out the country, but it also suggests the nation is increasing its claims on foreign assets. In other words at times of Capital Account Deficit, foreign investment in domestic assets is less and investment by the domestic economy in foreign assets is more. If you need to know more about BoP, refer our notes on Balance of Payments.

Writs in Indian Constitution :-

·        Anything that is issued under an authority is a writ. Orders, warrants, directions etc.

·        There are five major types of writs viz. habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto and certiorari.

·         In India, both Supreme Court and High Court have been empowered with Writ Jurisdiction. 

·        Under Indian constitution writs are enjoyed by supreme court under Article 32 and high court under article 226.And the writ jurisdiction of high court is wider in scope as compared to supreme court.

A)     Habeas Corpus:-   

Habeas corpus means "You may have the body".  The concept of writ of habeas corpus has originated from England. This writ is issued in order to protect individual liberties .More importantly issued when a person is detained unlawfully(violation of fundamental right to liberty) and the detained person should be brought physically brought before the court with in 24 hours. This writ can be filed by anybody not necessarily aggrieved person. It can be issued against both state and individual.

B)     Mandamus:-

Mandamus means 'we command'.  The writ is issued by court commanding a person or a body to do its duty. It is also called awakening call, it awakes the sleeping authority to perform their duty. It is issued when a public official or a person holding a public office has failed to perform his/her official duty. This writ can be issued only to ensure legal or statuary right. Private rights cannot be enforced by it.

C)     Certiorari:-

Certiorari means “to be certified” or “to be informed”. It is issued by the higher court to the lower court either to transferring the records of proceedings of a case pending with it, for the purpose of determining the legality of its proceedings or for giving fuller and a more satisfactory effect to them then could be done in the lower court. This writ can be issued only against a judicial or quasi-judicial body. The object of this writ is to prevent judicial or quasi judicial body to usher excess jurisdiction. It can be filed only by the aggrieved person.

The writ Prohibition and Certiorari have little bit difference:

- The writ of prohibition is available during the pendency of proceedings, the writ of certiorari can be resorted to only after the order or decision has been announced.

- Prohibition can be issued only against judicial and quasi judicial authorities whereas Certiorari can be issued even against administrative authorities affecting rights of individuals.

E)   Quo Warranto:-
