Overview of the Course:
The crucial component of the Indian financial system is Banks. An effective banking system supports the growth of the economy of the country. The banks are used by many types of society stakeholders for a variety of purposes. Banks act as a conduit for money between depositors and borrowers. In today's altered global business climate, banks provide a wide range of value-added services to their customers in addition to collecting deposits and making loans. As the nation's Central Bank, the Reserve Bank of India fulfils a variety of functions, including regulating, supervising, and facilitating the Indian Banking System. This course covers the evolution of banking laws in India and its regulatory framework, updated with latest legal and judicial developments. The Banking Regulation Act, 1949; The Banking Regulation (Amendment) Act, 2020; RBI Act, 1935 and related laws are explained.
The Law of Insurance has historical roots that go through many generations and distant sources. This course has briefly traced its history and progress. The course covers the overarching ideas that form the basis of insurance law and aids in legal comprehension. Numerous insurance-related judgements from English and Indian courts are mentioned and appropriately explored in the right areas. It aims to encapsulate, broadly speaking, the idea, range, beginning, and evolution of insurance in the legislative frameworks with special emphasis on India. The Insurance Act, 1938; The Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015; The Insurance Regulatory and Development Act, 1999 and other laws governing insurance in India are discussed.
Consumers are now more exposed to new types of unfair trade and immoral corporate activities due to the creation of global supply chains, growth in international trade, and rapid expansion of e-commerce. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 was passed in place of the previous 1986 Act to defend consumers' interests in this new situation. At the proper times, the pertinent rulings of the Supreme Court, High Courts, and National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission have been discussed.
This course helps the learners in understanding the fundamental legal framework governing Banking and Insurance Sectors in India. The learners would understand the scheme of consumer protection provided under the Indian Law and become aware of their rights as consumers.
