Signed before me:
In order to provide medium and long-term credit to industrial undertakings, which falls outside the normal activities of commercial banks, a Central Industrial Finance Corporation was set up under the Industrial Finance Corporation Act, 1948 (XV of 1948). The State Governments wish that similar Corporations should also be set up in the States to supplement the work of the Industrial Finance Corporation. The intention is that the State Corporations will confine their activities to financing medium and small scale industries and will, as far as possible, consider only such cases as are outside the scope of the Industrial Finance Corporation. The State Governments also consider that the State Corporations should be established under a special Statute in order to make it possible to incorporate in the consitution necessary provisions in regard to majority control by Government, guarantee by the State Government in regard to the repayment of principal, and payment of a minimum rate of dividend on the shares restriction on distribution of profits and special powers for the enforcement of its claims and recovery of dues. Since the incorporation, regulation and winding up of such corporations fall within the purview of Parliament- vide Entry No. 43 of the Union List the State Governments have requested the Government of India to enact the necessary enabling legislation, which is sought to be effected by this Bill.
