    India weathered Hormuz disruption without fuel shortages: Puri
    Show AI Summary
    Energy security through diversified sourcing protected fuel supplies during Hormuz disruption and supports domestic exploration and alternative fuels.
    Energy security measures based on diversified crude oil and LPG sourcing, expanded infrastructure, increased domestic LPG production and alternative fuels were presented as maintaining fuel availability during disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Domestic resilience is also linked to support for private deep-water oil and gas exploration, opening offshore acreage, and expansion of compressed biogas and ethanol blending. Ethanol-blended petrol testing identified limited contamination instances rather than a systemic issue, while excise duty reductions were described as cushioning consumers against global fuel-price volatility.

    RBI invites public comments on the draft Directions on ‘Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) Framework’
    Show AI Summary
    Credit valuation adjustment framework revises derivative capital requirements through flexible basic approaches, hedge recognition, and risk-sensitive counterparty treatment.
    Credit Valuation Adjustment framework revisions align CVA capital treatment with final Basel III standards. Eligible banks may use the full or reduced basic approach, while banks with an insignificant volume of non-centrally cleared derivatives may calculate their CVA capital charge at 100 per cent of the counterparty credit risk capital charge. The draft also clarifies CVA hedge recognition, introduces risk weights sensitive to sector and credit quality, and separates systematic and idiosyncratic CVA risk in the full basic approach.

    Vijayan slams Kerala govt's move to end doorstep pension delivery through cooperative banks
    Show AI Summary
    Direct benefit transfer for welfare pensions replaces cooperative-bank doorstep delivery, while retaining limited home service for excluded beneficiaries.
    Direct Benefit Transfer for social security and welfare pensions is to be made through Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, replacing cooperative-bank doorstep delivery. Home delivery remains available for bedridden persons and others who cannot be excluded. The change is associated with delays in remitting undistributed amounts, record-update failures, reconciliation issues, duplicate payments, and incomplete Aadhaar-based payment implementation. Concerns have been raised that mandatory bank-account credit may disadvantage beneficiaries dependent on doorstep delivery.

    Show AI Summary
    Device-based loan recovery restrictions protect essential mobile functions while permitting gradual locking only for lender-financed devices.

Regulated entities and service providers must obtain manufacturer or operating-system certification for device-locking technology. Disclosure of borrower or guarantor information to recovery personnel must be limited to what is necessary for loan-recovery duties.

    Bilateral trade agreement negotiations should secure tariff certainty, protect key exports, strengthen supply chains, and support vulnerable small industries.
