Independent PMLA proceedings require separate anticipatory bail assessment; predicate-offence protection alone cannot establish pre-arrest protection.
Protection in a predicate-offence FIR does not automatically extend to independent PMLA proceedings. Anticipatory bail in a money-laundering investigation must be assessed under the applicable PMLA condition and on the material connecting the applicant to alleged proceeds of crime. Relevant considerations include the financial trail, recorded statements, bank-account analysis, compliance with summonses, cooperation with inquiry, and the need for personal participation in evidence collection and confrontation with documentary and digital material.

Cartelisation by agro-input dealer associations attracted monetary sanctions, cease-and-desist directions, and mandatory competition-compliance training for responsible officials.
Cartelisation by the two agro-input dealer associations and named individuals contravened Section 3(3)(b) read with Section 3(1) of the Competition Act, 2002. Monetary sanctions were imposed, and association office-bearers were held liable under Section 48. The parties and liable officials were directed to cease and desist from future anti-competitive conduct and to organise competition-compliance training to promote awareness and compliance within the associations.

Bid rigging through pre-bid exchange of sensitive price information attracted penalties and cease-and-desist directions in tyre procurement.
Bid rigging in tyre procurement was established where Rekha Agencies and SS Marketing exchanged commercially sensitive price-bid information before submitting bids for the Himachal Pradesh Tender 2013. The concerted conduct contravened the prohibition on anti-competitive agreements and bid rigging. Monetary penalties and cease-and-desist directions were imposed on both enterprises. An official of Rekha Agencies was also penalised for liability arising from the contravention, while proceedings against the official of SS Marketing stood abated following his death.

Rupee exchange-rate movement reflected geopolitical tensions, crude oil conditions and market intervention, while export payment rules expanded rupee invoicing.
Foreign Trade Policy amendments facilitate export invoicing and receipt of payments in Indian rupees. For exports to countries outside the Asian Clearing Union, export contracts and invoices may be denominated in Indian rupees or any foreign currency. The earlier general requirement that export earnings be received in a freely convertible currency is thereby eased, while applicable rules continue to vary according to destination.

Non-controlling land-bordering country ownership permits eligible foreign investment through the automatic route, subject to sectoral conditions and reporting.
Foreign direct investment may use the automatic route where non-controlling beneficial ownership from a land-bordering country in the investor entity does not exceed 10%, subject to sectoral caps, entry routes and other applicable conditions. The beneficial ownership test applies at the investor-entity level. Eligible investors need not obtain separate prior Government approval after reporting relevant information to the Government. The framework replaces the earlier approval requirement applicable even to minimal beneficial ownership from land-bordering countries.

Capacity-based taxation targets undeclared pouch-packing machinery used for clandestine pan masala and tobacco production and untaxed clearances.
Capacity-based taxation of pan masala and specified tobacco products is determined by the number, type and capacity of installed pouch-packing machines. Searches at interconnected manufacturing and trading premises detected unregistered operations using undeclared machinery for clandestine manufacture and clearance of pan masala, scented jarda and gutkha without payment of GST, HSNS cess and central excise duty. Finished goods, raw materials, packing materials and machinery were seized. The manufacturing firm's proprietor was prima facie identified as managing the operation and was arrested under the applicable cess and central excise laws.

Technology risk oversight requires Urban Co-operative Banks to retain accountability while building shared and role-specific capabilities.
Urban Co-operative Banks must strengthen digital and risk-management capabilities as technology dependence exposes them to cyber threats, fraud, service-provider failures and common-platform vulnerabilities. Outsourcing critical systems does not transfer the bank's responsibility for oversight, safeguards and continuity. Boards and senior management must retain sufficient knowledge to supervise external providers effectively. Mission SAKSHAM supports role-specific, continuous capability building through physical and online learning, while collective infrastructure and shared expertise can supplement individual institutional capacity.

Foreign exchange market modernisation prioritises delegated decisions, customer transparency, digital workflows, local-currency settlement and accountable risk management.
Foreign exchange market modernisation advances a facilitative, principles-based framework based on delegated decision-making by Authorised Dealers, risk-based reporting, and customer-centric service standards. Authorised Dealers must apply clear internal policies, avoid unnecessary documentation, disclose charges, timelines and grievance mechanisms, and ensure consistent treatment of comparable transactions. Local-currency settlement requires viable trade corridors, competitive hedging, correspondent relationships and robust AML/CFT controls. Digital workflows, electronic trading and reporting infrastructure should improve transparency and resilience, while automated tools remain subject to explainability, review and data-protection safeguards.

Sugar price containment measures restrict stockholding, permit duty-free imports, and strengthen inventory verification to deter hoarding.
Sugar price containment measures include stock limits for dealers, consumption-based inventory restrictions for bulk consumers, duty-free raw sugar imports, and physical verification of mill stocks to prevent hoarding and artificial scarcity. Price increases are attributed to lower domestic output, festive demand, crop damage, tighter global supplies, and speculation rather than sugar diversion for ethanol. Earlier crushing is advised to improve seasonal availability, while the ethanol programme supports management of sugar surpluses, mill liquidity, and timely sugarcane payments.

Cross-border insolvency enforcement constrains asset recovery as Evergrande liquidation, founder asset confiscation, and audit-related claims continue.
Evergrande's insolvency process involves liquidation proceedings for its mainland property-development unit and its Hong Kong-listed holding company. Cross-border recovery is constrained by separate Hong Kong and mainland China legal systems, particularly because most operational assets are located in mainland China. Liquidators are pursuing asset-tracing and recovery measures against the founder and connected persons, as well as claims concerning pre-collapse audits. Investigations identified revenue overstatement through manipulated financial data. Creditor recoveries are expected to be limited due to substantial liabilities and constraints on asset realisation.

Foreign exchange reserves rose through higher currency assets and gold holdings amid measures to attract external forex inflows.
India's foreign exchange reserves increased during the reporting week, led by higher foreign currency assets and gold reserves. Foreign currency assets include the dollar-value effects of movements in non-US currencies held as reserves. Special drawing rights declined marginally, while the reserve position with the International Monetary Fund increased marginally. Concessional swap arrangements formed part of measures to attract foreign-exchange inflows, while earlier reserve movements were linked to rupee pressure and dollar-sale intervention in the foreign-exchange market.

Incremental tariff recovery aligns airport user charges with completed infrastructure, preventing passengers from funding non-operational capital projects prematurely.
User development fees and airport tariffs for Bengaluru International Airport have been revised for the April 2026 to March 2031 control period. The incremental Average Revenue Requirement framework excludes costs of identified high-value capital projects from tariffs until the relevant assets are completed, commissioned and available for users. Incremental tariff recovery may begin only upon operational availability, aligning charges with infrastructure use, reducing premature recovery risk for passengers and airlines, and encouraging timely completion of major capital works.

Predicate-offence dependency limits retrospective addition of old FIRs to preserve money-laundering proceedings after the original scheduled offence is closed.
Predicate-offence dependency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act requires an ECIR to rest on a subsisting scheduled offence. Closure of the FIR forming its basis through an accepted cancellation report prevents continuation of money-laundering proceedings unless that closure is overturned. A previously registered FIR cannot be belatedly added merely to preserve an existing ECIR and coercive powers. Where statutory requirements are met, an independently registered ECIR may be required. Expansion of an ECIR cannot rest solely on tenuous factual links between successive disputes.
