It has made several recommendations, including enactment of the Indian Financial Code (IFC) to meet the needs of tomorrow’s India. The salient features of the IFC are: a. It repeals a number of extant financial sector legislations and amends a large number of other legislations. In particular, it repeals the RBI Act, 1934, the Insurance Act, 1938, the Public Debt Act, 1944, the Banking Regulation Act, 1959, the FCRA, 1952, the SCRA, 1956, the SEBI Act, 1992, the Depositories Act, 1996, the FEMA, 1999, the IRDA Act, 1999, etc. b. It proposes a regulatory architecture featuring a set of seven agencies to govern the financial sector. In particular, it has created the Unified Financial Authority by merging the existing SEBI, FMC, IRDA and PFRDA and parts of RBI. c. It has substantially strengthened the independence and accountability arrangements for the regulators. d. It is based on timeless principles which are legally rigid but functionally flexible to proactively meet the challenges of dynamic market environment. e. It provides for a comprehensive framework for consumer protection, prudential regulation, regulation of certain types of financial contracts, market abuse, resolution of financial service providers, systemic risk oversight, effective and affordable access to financial services, market development, capital controls, and public debt management in India. In order to facilitate healthy debate on the recommendations of the FSLRC, including the Indian Financial Code, among the people who matter in the financial markets and to sensitise the various professionals, including Company Secretaries, about the likely reforms path in the financial legislations, the Institute is organising a series of seminars and workshops throughout the country. It has already organised two hugely successful national seminars – one in Hyderabad and the other in Mumbai. It has now scheduled another National Seminar with the support of National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. on Wednesday, the May 22, 2013 at The Ashok, New Delhi. Mr. P.
