Qualitative
Cont.
Some of the common forms of qualitative instruments
are the following:
Changes
in Margin Requirements:- Margin
requirements for lending may be varied according to
the type of securities, assets or commodities to be
financed. A higher margin requirement reduces the
quantum of finance for a specific industry or purpose.
Differential Interest Rates :- Central bank may
prescribe different rates of interest for lending to
different sectors or for different activities. For example,
lower interest rate could be required for priority sectors
such as small-scale industry, exports and agriculture
and higher rates may be permitted for sectors to which
the central bank intends to reduce credit.

Some of the common forms of qualitative instruments
are the following:
Restrictions on Bill Discounting :- The Central
bank may disallow restricted discounting of bills
against price restive products.
Restrictions on Clean Advances:- There could be
restriction on clean advances in areas where
speculation is rife or hoardings are common (like
trading and warehousing segments).
Central banks, particularly in developing countries,
keep on fine-tuning selective credit controls to control
speculation, inflation or undesirable changes in the
distribution of scarce credit.

Reaction to Tax Cuts - Rational
Expectations
According to a school of economic thought that
believes in 'rational expectations', when the
government sells government securities to fund a tax
cut or an increase in expenditure, then a rational
individual will realise that at some future date he will
face higher tax liabilities to pay for the interest
repayments. Thus, he should increase his savings as
there has been no increase in his permanent income.
The implications are clear. Any change in fiscal policy
will have no impact on the economy if all individuals
are rational. Fiscal policy in these circumstances may
become ineffective.
Union Budget
The Constitution of India provides that No tax can be levied or collected except by
authority of law.
No expenditure can be incurred for public
funds except in the manner provided in
Constitution.
The executive authorities must spend public
money only in the manner sanctioned by
Parliament in the case of the Union and by
the State legislature in the case of a State.

2. Unemployment Compensation
and Welfare Payments
In
many
developed
countries
of
the
West
unemployment compensation is paid to workers who
are laid off. During recession, as more people become
unemployed, unemployment compensation paid by the
government
to
the
unemployed
automatically
increases. This means that consumption expenditures,
an important component of aggregate demand, will not
fall as far as they otherwise would. During period of
boom as business activity expands the number of
unemployed people falls and, correspondingly, the
unemployment compensation falls. Thus increase in
spending is curbed and this is just what we want to see
happen. This shows that unemployment compensation
has an automatic stabilizing effect on the economy.
Various welfare programmes also have the same effect
