INFLATION

Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over time. This means that the purchasing power of the currency declines, as it takes more units of currency to buy the same amount of goods and services. Inflation can be caused by various factors, including an increase in the money supply, rising demand for goods and services, or a decrease in the supply of goods and services.

Inflation can have both positive and negative effects on an economy. On the positive side, moderate inflation can encourage investment and growth by increasing the profits of businesses, and can help to reduce the burden of debt for borrowers. On the negative side, high inflation can erode the value of savings and income, causing a decline in living standards and potentially leading to social unrest.

Central banks typically aim to maintain low and stable inflation through monetary policy, such as adjusting interest rates or controlling the money supply. In some cases, governments may also implement fiscal policies, such as increasing taxes or reducing spending, to address inflationary pressures.

It is important for individuals and businesses to be aware of inflation and its potential impacts on their financial well-being. This can include strategies such as investing in assets that appreciate in value over time, diversifying investments, and seeking out inflation-protected assets like inflation-indexed bonds.

Information on Crowd Funding shared by Asst. Prof. Palash Khanna

 Crowd Funding 

Crowd funding is a method of raising capital to sponsor endeavors and companies. Fundraisers can use online platforms to gather money from a sizable audience. By leveraging the power of the online community, you can also gain useful market insights and access to new customers. Crowd funding is most frequently used by startup businesses or growing businesses as a way to access alternative funds. 

How is crowd sourcing carried out?

 If the fundraising campaign is successful, crowdfunding platforms typically charge fundraisers a fee. Platforms for crowdfunding are required to offer a safe and simple service in exchange. A funding strategy that is all-or-nothing is used by many platforms. This implies that if you meet your goal, you will receive the money, and if not, everyone will receive their money back with no repercussions or financial loss. There are several different sorts of crowdsourcing.

 Main forms of crowd funding:

 Peer-to-peer lending: With the idea that interest will be added to the loan, the public lends money to a business. It is fairly comparable to conventional bank borrowing, with the exception that you borrow from several investors instead.

 Equity crowdfunding: sale of a portion of a company to several investors in exchange for capital. The concept is comparable to the purchase or sale of common stock on a stock exchange or to a venture capitalist.

 Rewards-based crowdfunding: A non-financial reward, such as goods or services, is typically expected in compensation for a person's contribution when they donate to a cause or business.

 Donation-based crowdfunding: While obtaining no monetary or material benefit, people make tiny donations to help a particular humanitarian cause to reach its bigger financing goal.

 Profit-sharing: Businesses may accept investment from the public in exchange for a share of their future earnings or sales.

In the last, we can say that it is very difficult to get a person enjoying all these qualities. A person enjoying most of these is preferred.

Educative Information on Consumer Protection Shared by Asst. Prof Palash Khanna

India's Consumer Protection

The era of "Caveat Emptor" is over; today "Customer is King." There is no shortage of vendors that want to satisfy all customer requests yet cannot risk driving away customers by providing subpar goods or services. Customers have resources at their disposal, including forums, courts, and consumer complaints. Let's examine how consumers are protected in India.

When a customer brings a sale to a seller, they expect to be treated like royalty. The phrase "customer was requested to beware" has been replaced by "let seller beware" as a result of new policies, laws, and consumer protection measures as well as increasing market competition.

In order to protect consumers from unfair practices, we must inform them of their rights and obligations and address any concerns they may have. This approach is known as "consumer protection."

Why is it important to protect consumers?

There are many items on the market that are harmful to the consumer's health; adulteration, false weights, monopolies, and unfair trade practices are just a few of the problems that must be handled in order to safeguard the consumer.

How can we safeguard consumers?

Consumers should be informed of their rights and obligations, their complaints should be addressed, and the court system must deliver justice to them.

I. The Value from the Consumer's Perspective

·        Consumer Ignorance: When looking at it from the perspective of the consumer, there are a few elements to consider. Consumer Ignorance is one such issue that needs to be addressed; consumers should be aware of how to utilize their legal rights and how to request relief.

·        Unorganized Customer: We require a Consumer Organization that can bring consumers together and aid them in finding solutions to their consumer problems.

·        Pervasive Consumer Exploitation: Consumers are taken advantage of through adulteration, dishonest business practices, false weight claims, missing or inaccurate information on product packaging, and deceptive advertising. For instance, many goods claim to make you slim or fairer, but when used, they do not deliver what they promise.

II. Business Perspective Importance

Is there a method that businesses can also benefit from consumer protection, or is it just not necessary? Let's look at a few of the details that offer us some clarification:

·        Long-Term Economic Interest: Making a satisfied customer is necessary if one wishes to grow their customer base over time. A happy customer would spread the news about the business and bring in more customers.

·        Business utilizes society's resources: Since most of the resources used by business come from society, business shouldn't undermine consumer confidence. In response, businesses consider what the general public wants and produce goods appropriately.

·        Social Responsibility: Businesses have responsibilities to the public, the government, and society. They should act in a way that benefits both parties because doing so will help the business grow.

·        Moral justice: Businesses have a moral obligation to society and the consumer, and they should act in a way that doesn't negatively impact either. Any form of exploitation, such as adulteration, unjust practices, defective products, and unfair price and weight, should be avoided.

Government Intervention: To keep the government from interfering in the company, this could be a laborious task. Because of this, companies should create their business practices with the interests of the customer in mind.
