Consolidated Sinking Fund
🕸️Consolidated sinking fund (CSF) was first constituted by the Bihar government in March 2009.
🕸️Bihar government has now constituted a revised con- solidated sinking fund (CSF) with certain changes and guidelines from the RBI and centre.
🕸️A sinking fund is an account containing money set aside to pay off a debt .
🕸️This fund would be beneficial in paying off outstanding liabilities, mainly loans of the government.
🕸️The new fund would enable the government to keep a higher corpus. CSF running since 2009 has a corpus equal to 3% of the amount.
🕸️Under the new scheme, the state government has to make a conscious effort to towards building up the CSF corpus to five percent of the outstanding liabilities within a span of five years.
🕸️New CSF would also help in getting higher returns in terms of interest as the corpus money is invested by the RBI.
