Inaugural Session

The landscape of financial services has transformed over the years. From the initial focus on products and technology, the attention has shifted towards consumers and to the processes that create value for consumers. The Government and the Regulators have also taken cognizance of the requirement of reforms and effective regulations to foster the pace of the economic progress with a view to empower and protect the financial consumers.

At present, to aid the growth process, while the Financial Sector Legislative Reforms Commission (FSLRC) had been established by Government of India (GOI) primarily to simplify and rewrite financial sector legislations and subordinate legislations, and bring them in harmony with the requirements of our country’s fast growing financial sector, the task is onerous and requires an active participation of all stakeholders.

As stated in the approach paper released by FSLRC that “...the consumers of financial services are often more vulnerable than consumers of ordinary goods and require a special effort by the State...”, it is believed that with an active participation of other stakeholders viz. the product manufacturers, financial intermediaries etc., consumer empowerment and protection would serve as an important business metric apart from the regulatory compliance. The efforts of all stakeholders would also aid in enhancing the levels of Financial Literacy and creating avenues for Financial Inclusion as well.

At present while Financial Reforms in various sectors aim at enhancing the economic growth by making requisite changes in the antiquated rules and regulations to bring them in harmony with the current times; it is important that the reforms are not viewed only from the perspective of various domains in the financial sector alone, but the reforms should be looked upon from the perspective of the consumers, whose interests are central to the functioning of all stakeholders viz. the regulators, product manufacturers, distributors etc.

This session aims to deliberate on the following aspects:

• The need of looking at reforms from a holistic and consumer perspective• The need for implementing reforms across all sectors at a uniform pace• The need for enhancing the efficiency levels in the financial sector• The need for ensuring absence of regulatory arbitrage• The need to rewrite legislations and regulations in lucid manner so as to ensure clarity and effective

Empowered consumers can also help in enhancing the efficiency levels in the markets.

Consumer Protection is a very important aspect of the financial eco system, but the factors which go towards the protection of customers including the regulations and policies along with the business environment should ensure that the interests of all the stakeholders are served in an efficient and effective manner.

At present while various regulators have been taking active initiatives to ensure Consumer Protection in their regulatory domains, there is also a need to define consumer protection in a comprehensive level which cuts across all product categories and domains as well.
