Enforcement action under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act concerns allegations that an insolvency professional re-admitted claims earlier rejected as spurious and fraudulent during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.

Interest-rate regulation for loans and advances proposes harmonised fixed and floating loan-pricing principles across regulated entities.
Interest-rate regulation for loans and advances is proposed to be harmonised across all regulated entities through a principles-based framework for fixed-rate and floating-rate loans. The framework would be calibrated to each entity's nature, complexity and scale, while supporting monetary policy transmission, credit-risk-based pricing, and fair, non-discriminatory borrower treatment. It addresses divergent commercial-bank practices in determining the marginal cost of funds-based lending rate and its components, alongside limited regulatory coverage of fixed-rate loans. Separate final directions are intended for each category of regulated entity after consideration of feedback.

Elevated crude oil prices and Tata leadership transition drove broad equity market selling amid inflation concerns.
Indian equity markets declined amid elevated crude oil prices, inflation concerns and broad risk-off selling. Tata Group shares, particularly TCS, came under pressure after N. Chandrasekaran announced that he would not seek reappointment as Tata Sons Chairman when his current term ends. Crude oil prices approaching the USD 90-per-barrel level affected investor confidence because of potential inflationary effects, while uncertainty over United States-Iran negotiations and Strait of Hormuz shipping disruptions added to global energy market concerns.

Trade sovereignty and energy security underpin calls to resist tariff pressure and protect sensitive sectors in bilateral negotiations.
Trade sovereignty and energy security are advanced as grounds for resisting tariff pressure linked to Indian purchases of Russian crude. Bilateral trade negotiations should proceed through equality, reciprocity and mutual respect without compromising agriculture, dairy, energy security or strategic autonomy. Concerns are also raised over removal of e-commerce inventory restrictions for foreign direct investment and over proposed Merchant Discount Rate charges on UPI transactions. Withdrawal of the inventory measure and opposition to payment-provider charges are urged, alongside possible restrictions on United States technology and social-media companies and consumer boycotts of American goods and services.

Judicial allowance exemptions under the new tax regime remain disputed, with return processing and resulting demands kept in abeyance.
Tax treatment of specified judicial allowances under the new income-tax regime is disputed. Statutory service-condition provisions are asserted to exclude allowances, including official residence, conveyance, sumptuary allowance and leave travel concession, from income computation and to override the Income-tax Act. Pending consideration, affected judges may show these amounts as receipts not in the nature of income, and their returns are not to be processed further. Any resulting demand remains in abeyance, while refundable amounts are withheld subject to the pending proceedings.

CBG development is presented as a route for converting agricultural and organic waste into biomethane, bio-fertiliser and briquettes while reducing fossil-fuel imports, crop-residue burning and waste-management burdens.

AI governance in banking requires explainability, board accountability, rigorous testing, vendor controls and meaningful human oversight for customer-facing decisions.
AI adoption in banking should be governed through a principles-based and proportionate framework that aligns innovation with financial stability, customer protection and accountability.

Key risks include opacity, bias, vendor concentration, third-party dependence, data misuse, cyber vulnerability and loss of institutional accountability. Vendor arrangements require audit and explanation rights and credible exit plans.
