US-64 issue

S. Srinivasan, Chennai

Despite one scam after another shocking the economy, no lessons seem to have been learnt. In the light of UTI debacle -- the redemption crisis faced by US-64 scheme -- it is suggested that the Government should come out with some regulations prohibiting the deployment of money deposited with a PF Trust in equity.

It seems it may be safer to park funds in some large residuary non-banking finance companies under the RBI, such as Peerless General Finance, etc., where decent returns without fear of maturity refund is assured. If public money is diverted to speculativ e avenues, PF Trusts will also meet the same fate as that of Unit Trust, thereby making mockery of the term `Trust'.
