With a view to revamping financial-sector laws to bring them in tune with current
requirements, the government set up the FSLRC on 24 March 2011. The Commission
in its Report has given wide-ranging recommendations, both legislative and nonlegislative, on the institutional, legal, and regulatory framework and operational
changes in the Indian financial sector. Do you think recommendation of FSLRC will
have desire impact on financial sector or it would just act as an excessive legal
oversight into regulatory affairs?

8.
