India-Specific
Export Import Bank of India — apex financial institution for India's international trade and investment financing.
Exim Bank was constituted by its own statute, the Export-Import Bank of India Act, 1981 — Act 28 of 1981, Ministry of Finance — “An Act to establish a corporation to be known as the Export-Import Bank of India for providing financial assistance to exporters and importers, and for functioning as the principal financial institution for co-ordinating the working of institutions engaged in financing export and import of goods and services...”. The second limb is the one usually left out of summaries and it is the more distinctive: alongside lending, the Act gives the bank a co-ordinating role over other institutions financing trade. That is a mandate an ordinary lender does not have, and it is why Exim Bank appears in policy contexts where a commercial bank would not.
India Code publishes the Act itself, which is a stronger source here than an institutional “about us” page: a website describes a body, an Act constitutes it. What is quoted above is the Act’s long title — the purpose Parliament gave it — and nothing more. No section of any Act is quoted or cited on this page, because India Code’s section-level pages did not serve readable text; procedural detail, eligibility and thresholds are in the Act and its rules, not here.
