10. Minority Disinvestment When the government retains a majority stake in the company, greater than 51%, thus ensuring management control. Minority stakes have been either auctioned off to financial institutions or offloaded to the public as Offer for Sale. Present governments policy - All disinvestments would only be minority disinvestments via Public Offers

COMPLETE PRIVATISATION Form of majority disinvestment wherein 100% control of the company is passed on to a buyer Disinvestment and Privatisation When the Government retains 26% of the shares carrying voting powers while selling the remaining to a strategic buyer, it would have disinvested, but would not have privatised because with 26%, generally a special resolution 3/4 th majority is required.

Recent news Proceeds from national investment fund to be used to recapitalise PSU banks The government decided to use the proceeds from disinvestment for capitalisation of state-run banks, insurance companies and for subscription of shares of state-owned firms to maintain its 51% stake(a plan introduced in 2013-14) The decision was taken at the meeting of Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) in order to align operations of National Investment Fund (NIF) and improve the disinvestment policy.

31. SUGGESTIONS The government has to form a policy framework for the entire disinvestment process. The government should de-link the disinvestment process from the budgetary exercise. Government should stop setting up of the targets in every year annual budget and   should have a long-term plan.

32. A separate fund should be created for disinvestment and it should be kept under the control of president and the fund should be utilized for building infrastructure and developing the social sector. Timing of disinvestment is crucial and the government should follow a specific method or process in order to reap more chunks. The entire exercise of disinvestment should be audited by not less than two reputed auditing firms to have a transparent process. The government should have an 'Yearly Action Plan‘ and at the end of the year an 'Action Taken Report' has to be submitted.

33. Conclusion The study of disinvestment for a such a long period has revealed that a very meager amount of disinvestment proceeds has been realized as against the target. There is no clear-cut framework or policy for disinvestment in India. The government has done a little or more so failed to attract foreign suitors for the disinvestment process in India.

34. The disinvestment process needs to be taken up more seriously by the government with a time bound for the programme to conduct the process with transparency the need for institutional structures to insulate the PSEs from political and bureaucratic interference to improve their financial returns. Only then the real benefits can be reaped.
