Detailed Solution for Test: Acts Related to Banking - Question 1

A Development Financial Institution (DFI)

  • It is defined as “an institution endorsed or supported by the Government of India primarily to provide development/Project finance to one or more sectors or sub-sectors of the economy.
  • India’s first DFI was operationalized in 1948 and it set up State Financial Corporations (SFCs) at the state level after passing of the SFCs Act, 1951, succeeded by the development of the Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI).
  • DFIs can be classified into four categories of institutions as per their functions:

    • Sector-specific financial institutions e.g. TFCI, EXIM Bank, NABARD, HDFC, NHB
    • Investment Institutions e.g. LIC, GIC, and UTI
    • State-level Institutions e.g. State Finance corporations and SIDCs
    • Specialized development financial institutions (DFIs), such as Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI), National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), National Housing Board (NHB) and Small Industry Development Bank of India (SIDBI), with majority ownership of the RBI were launched to meet the long-term financing needs of industry and agriculture in India for driving growth in our economy post-independence.

Though, RBI does not engage in direct financing. There is no specific use of the term 'DFI' in either the RBI Act, 1934 or the Companies Act, 1956 or various statutes establishing DFIs.
Hence, Option 4 is the correct answer.
