Technology risk governance requires banks to retain accountability, test resilience, and govern artificial intelligence before scaling financial services.
Technology risk governance must treat technology architecture as a first-order enterprise risk, alongside conventional financial risks, because the availability and integrity of core banking, payments, onboarding, credit, fraud-monitoring and reporting systems determine whether customers can access essential financial services. Banks may outsource technology functions but retain accountability for access controls, concentration, recoverability, data protection and exit options. Effective resilience requires secure architecture, asset visibility, timely remediation of vulnerabilities and legacy systems, identity and access management, effective controls, third-party oversight, post-incident learning, and regular recovery testing.

Portfolio management reforms broaden permitted investments, establish independent fund managers, and retain registered managers' responsibility for client portfolios.
Portfolio-management reforms replace the 2020 framework and expand investments into IPOs, primary-market debt, listed overseas equity and debt, and direct plans of Indian mutual fund schemes. Investment-grade unlisted non-convertible debt may comprise up to 10 per cent of client assets under management with client consent. Independent Fund Managers may operate with registered portfolio managers, which retain responsibility and liability. Accredited-investor eligibility is broadened, while specified compliance requirements are relaxed where adequate audit trails and internal controls exist.

Merchant discount rate on UPI merchant payments may be treated as a taxable payment settlement service with input credit availability.
GST treatment of MDR charged on UPI merchant payments above Rs 2,000 is to be considered by the GST Council. The MDR framework imposes a merchant-borne charge for payment processing and settlement. As these activities are services, MDR may attract GST at 18 per cent, subject to the Council's view. Merchants paying GST on MDR may claim input tax credit, potentially reducing their net tax burden.

Fiscal responsibility limits frame cautions on new projects as budgetary discipline rather than financial crisis.
Finance-department advice treats fiscal indicators as grounds for restraint in approving additional expenditure rather than as evidence that funds are unavailable. Funding new projects may be difficult until additional resources are mobilised or allocations already approved are reallocated. Project proposals lacking budgetary provision or earmarked funding may create cash-flow pressures and fiscal-management challenges, requiring deferment until resources are finalised.

Energy security shapes continued Russian crude sourcing as alternative suppliers replace shortfalls amid potential sanctions-related restrictions.
Russian crude imports are operating near 1.8 million barrels daily in September, with refinery maintenance, stronger Chinese buying, and disruptions to Russian export infrastructure constraining availability. Middle Eastern supply, especially from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, has offset reduced Russian volumes. Potential tougher restrictions on countries purchasing Russian oil could complicate procurement, but energy security and tight physical oil markets make a significant near-term reduction in Russian crude purchases unlikely. Replacement remains technically possible but may raise procurement costs and competition for medium-grade crude.

Nidhi company deposits lack insurance protection, requiring verification of government declaration before relying on high-return promises.
Each company seeking to function as a Nidhi must file Form NDH-4 for declaration or updated Nidhi status and comply with the Companies Act, 2013 and applicable Nidhi Rules. Nidhi companies may accept deposits and grant loans only to members. Public investors should verify declared Nidhi status rather than rely on unusually high-return promises, agent representations, or informal assurances. Deposits with Nidhi companies are not insured by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation, and recovery may be difficult where a company fails or fraud occurs.

FCNR(B) liquidity deployment remains within banks' discretion, guided by credit pipelines, asset-liability positions, and prudent underwriting standards.
Banks retain full discretion to deploy liquidity mobilised through FCNR(B) deposits, based on their credit pipeline, lending proposals, liquidity outlook and asset-liability position. No sector-specific direction applies to use of these funds. FCNR(B) deposits are fixed-term foreign-currency deposits in which principal and interest are repayable in the same foreign currency, protecting non-resident depositors from direct rupee exchange-rate risk. Continued prudent credit appraisal and underwriting standards are expected.

Macroeconomic resilience supports fiscal consolidation, financial-sector stability, and orderly foreign-exchange management through persistent global and market shocks.
Policy management emphasises clear communication, policy certainty, macroeconomic and financial-sector stability, efficient use of buffers, and sustained structural reform. Fiscal prudence is treated as necessary to avoid unsustainable stimulus and preserve long-term stability. External-sector resilience rests on services exports and remittances, while oil and gold shocks and weaker capital inflows have created temporary balance-of-payments pressure. Further improvement is linked to lower oil dependence, export diversification, trade agreements, capital inflows and orderly foreign-exchange market management.

As per Regulation 14 of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Protection of Policyholders’ Interest) Regulations, 2017, certain procedures such as immediate processing upon receiving a death claim, adhering to timelines for settlement of a death claim, reasons to be stated on rejection or repudiation of the claim, interest to be paid due to delay on the part of insurer etc. are required to be followed by insurers for claim settlement in respect of a life insurance policy.

In case any grave irregularity is noticed in the claim settlement by the insurer, regulatory and corrective measures are initiated accordingly.
