PMLA information-sharing power under section 66(2) permits the Enforcement Directorate to transmit money-laundering investigation findings and material recovered through searches to a law-enforcement agency for consideration of a fresh FIR or complaint. An FIR registered on that basis may also support a PMLA case.

Aadhaar-based learning licence authentication faces challenge over age verification, identity safeguards, and compliance with prescribed licensing formalities.
Aadhaar-based online processing of learning and driving licence applications is challenged on the ground that Aadhaar is not valid proof of age and that reliance on Aadhaar details may enable issue of licences to underage applicants. Allegations that licences were issued using a deceased person's Aadhaar number and despite an obscene uploaded photograph raise identity-verification and security concerns. The Union and State maintain that Aadhaar alone does not result in licence issuance because prescribed formalities must also be completed.

Rupee exchange-rate movement reflected crude oil pressures, domestic equity weakness, foreign inflows, and a softer dollar.
Foreign-exchange market conditions resulted in the rupee closing weaker against the US dollar after initial support from foreign currency deposit inflows. Rising crude oil prices and weakness in domestic equity markets weighed on sentiment and offset support from a softer dollar and foreign investor equity purchases.

AI-driven digital markets require competition scrutiny of autonomous pricing, self-preferencing, discriminatory pricing, tying, and market manipulation.
Artificial intelligence may accelerate anti-competitive conduct in digital markets through self-preferencing, discriminatory pricing, tying and market manipulation. Agentic AI may create particular concerns where it monitors competitors' prices and autonomously responds without direct human intervention. Competition law aims to prevent anti-competitive practices, promote competition, protect consumers and preserve freedom of trade, while allowing legitimate growth and innovation. Market dominance is not objectionable in itself; concern arises from abuse of dominance through exclusionary or exploitative practices.
