Foreign currency swap facility accelerated FCNR(B) deposit window closure after substantial diaspora inflows, while borrowing windows remain open.
Special USD-INR foreign-exchange swap facility for FCNR(B) deposits, Overseas Foreign Currency Borrowings and External Commercial Borrowings was introduced to strengthen the external sector and support foreign-exchange liquidity. FCNR(B) deposits, under which principal and interest are repayable in the same foreign currency, generated the principal share of inflows. Strong diaspora participation led to advancement of the FCNR(B) window closure. The swap facility for Overseas Foreign Currency Borrowings and External Commercial Borrowings remains open until December 31, 2026.

NBFC loan servicing governance retains lender control through deterministic decision rules, maker-checker controls, reconciled migration and optional AI assistance.
Lokta Next 100 offers RBI-registered NBFCs with loan books up to Rs 100 crore post-approval loan servicing, accounting, reporting, analytics, collections, recovery and partner-management functions, excluding pure-play microfinance NBFCs. Credit, approval and money decisions remain with the lender. Maker-checker approval applies to every change, and migration requires line-by-line reconciliation before cutover. Records remain lender-owned, hosted in India and exportable. AI may propose changes but cannot post to the ledger; deterministic lender-policy rules decide changes. Platform fees are deferred for up to 24 months, subject to stated loan-book thresholds.

RTI access to maintained records does not require creation of Aadhaar date-of-birth update data on demand.
UIDAI did not maintain separate Aadhaar data on date-of-birth updates in Bihar following the announced social security pension enhancement, including month-wise or district-wise compilations. No internal review or flagging of unusual update patterns was available or applicable in its records. The Central Information Commission clarified that the RTI framework does not require a public authority to create, compile or generate information that it does not maintain in the form requested. The initial CPIO response treating the information as outside the RTI Act was considered inappropriate.

Double deflation explains negative manufacturing GVA deflators when input prices rise faster than output prices.
Double deflation in manufacturing separately deflates gross output and intermediate consumption, with real GVA derived from their difference. Where input prices rise faster than output prices, nominal GVA may grow more slowly than real GVA, producing a negative implicit GVA deflator despite rising output and input prices. A negative manufacturing GVA deflator therefore does not establish a fall in manufactured-product prices or lower real growth. The implicit GDP deflator is a derived ratio between current-price and constant-price GDP and differs from CPI and WPI because of their distinct coverage, weights, and price concepts.

Sovereign credit rating upgrade reflects solid growth, stronger financial systems, and improving fiscal and external resilience.
JCR upgrades India's foreign-currency and local-currency long-term issuer ratings to A- with a stable outlook, citing sustained economic growth, productivity-oriented policies and improved financial-system soundness. Fiscal constraints include elevated deficits, intergovernmental fiscal transfers, electoral-cycle sensitivity, and high combined government debt and interest burdens. Greater emphasis on infrastructure capital expenditure has improved the quality of fiscal spending. External resilience is supported by a contained current account deficit, services surplus and foreign-exchange reserves exceeding short-term external debt.

Personal insolvency bench constitution and repayment-plan eligibility remain contested where a larger tribunal bench stays a third-member order.
Personal insolvency proceedings raised a challenge to the National Company Law Tribunal's authority to constitute a five-member bench after a split verdict. The challenge contended that the mechanism for differing views permits reference to another member or members, but does not authorise a five-member bench. The larger bench stayed the third member's order, restricted asset alienation, and suspended an order permitting settlement of personal-guarantee claims. The dispute concerned the validity of that bench, the split-verdict reference procedure, repayment-plan eligibility, and pending creditor appeals.

Digital lending app verification enables borrowers to identify regulated lenders, grievance channels, and warning signs before accepting loans.
GoCredit's Loan App Checker allows borrowers to search lending apps against the public Digital Lending App directory and identify the regulated lender, grievance contact and RBI Ombudsman escalation route where a match exists. Regulatory reporting by regulated entities enables app-level verification, while borrowers should also check the lender named in app disclosures and loan agreements. A directory listing is a regulated-entity disclosure, not RBI approval or endorsement. Unmatched apps should be assessed through verification steps and reported through official channels where appropriate.

Rupee depreciation in early trade reflected oil-price pressures, risk aversion, higher Treasury yields and broad dollar strength.
Early foreign-exchange trading saw the rupee weaken against the US dollar amid renewed US-Iran tensions, risk aversion, higher Brent crude prices, and a stronger dollar. Safe-haven demand, inflation concerns linked to potential oil-supply disruption, expectations of a September Federal Reserve rate increase, and higher US Treasury yields supported the broad dollar rally. RBI monitoring of the rupee's decline was noted.
