Directions (Q. 51-60): Read the passage carefully and
answer the questions given below it
Currency devaluation takes place when one country's
currency is reduced in value in comparison to other curren-
cies. After currency devaluation, more of the devalued cur-
rency is required in order to purchase the same amount of
other currencies. Afictional example: If last year, one US Dollar
purchased 50 Indian Rupees, and this year, one US Dollar
can only purchase 45 Indian Rupees, the US dollar has un-
dergone a currency devaluation.
Currency devaluation can take two forms. It can either
be the natural result of market forces, or it can the the result
of government intervention. In the first scenario, the global
market changes its opinion about the stability, value or fu-
ture of a currency and decides that it is willing to pay less. In
the second scenario, a nation's government fixes the relative
price of their currency below its present level and prohibits
currency exchange at any other rate.
Currency devaluation can help achieve a more desirable
balance of trade. For nations experiencing a trade deficit (when
imports exceed exports), a currency devaluation will reduce
the price of their products abroad and increase the price of
foreign products in domestic markets. Increased demand for
products in other countries due to lower prices can also mean
more jobs and lower unemployment rates at home.
Since its Independence in 1947, India has faced two major
financial crises and two consequent devaluations of the ru-
pee. These crises were in 1966 and l991 and they had similar
causes.
The 1966 devaluation was the result of the first major
financial crisis the government faced. Since 1950, India ran
continued trade deficits that increased in magnitude in the
1960s. Two additional factors played a role in the 1966 de-
valuation. The first was India's war with Pakistan in late 1965.
The second factor is the drought of 1965/1966. The sharp
rise in prices in this period, which led to devaluation, is often
blamed on the drought, but in 1964/1965 there was a record
harvest and still, prices rose by 10%. The drought was a
catalyst for, rather than a direct cause of, devaluation.
Following the 1966 devaluation, the government initially
liberalized its trade restrictions by reducing export
subsidization and import tariffs. These actions counteracted
the devaluation to some extent but even taking these policies
into consideration, there was still a net devaluation.
1991 is often cited as the year of economic reform in
India. Surely, the government's economic policies changed
drastically in that year, but the 1991 liberalisation was an
extension of earlier, albeit slower, reform efforts that had
begun in the 1970s when India relaxed restrictions on imported
capital goods as part of its industrialization plan.
While the devaluation of 1991 was economically
necessary to avert a financial crisis, the radical changes in
India's economic policies were, to some extent, undertaken
voluntarily by the government of PVNarasimha Rao. In July
of 1991 the Indian government devalued the rupee by between
18 and 19 per cent.

The government is planning to bring in a second round
of voluntary retirement scheme for the employees of Indian
public sector banks in the post-budget session, giving room
to Indian PSU banks to increase their per employee produc-
tivity and reduce overheads. Incidentally, the government is
also thinking of opening the option of the employees to opt
for pension in view of the great demand for it from the union
and associations. Principally it has been accepted to give the
employees a chance to opt for pension. But for such options,
the required sum will be deducted from their provident fund.
This changes the earlier decision of the Ministry to let indi-
vidual banks bring their own board-approved VRS schemes.
Following this sentiment. Bank of India had applied for its
second round of VRS to the ministry. But in spite of the
scheme getting no objection from the Indian Banks' Asso-
ciation (IB A) and the RBI, the Mumbai-based bank is yet to
get the permission from the ministry. It seems likely that the
decision will flow in the form of a blanket decision rather than
individual case-to-case basis removing any discrepancy
amongst different banks.
206. VRS will aim at reducing the burden in terms of employee
overheads of the PSU banks.
207. The second VRS will be brought as a blanket scheme
after the budget.
208. In the last spell of the VRS that the banking industry
saw in the year 2000-01, close to a lakh of employees
exited their way out of the banking system.
209. In the last spell of the VRS, PSU banks did not get any
benefits.
210. Indian Banks' Association (IBA) and the RBI regulate
PSU banks.
