Auto trade pact creates phased quotas and duty cuts for high-end cars while protecting India's mass-market vehicles.
The agreement excludes duty concessions for passenger cars retailing below roughly Rs 25 lakh and confines duty liberalisation to higher-priced vehicles through annual, price banded quotas and phased duty reductions. Separate quotas are set for ICE vehicles and EVs, with no concessions at the lowest bands, initial duty reductions for mid and high bands, and a progressive move toward a 10% duty level by year five. CKD imports get a specific reduced-duty 75,000 unit stream (later adjusted), no SKD concessions, annual quota caps under three lakh units, and staged quota increases to encourage local assembly and supply chain development.

Baramati plane crash: lack of instrument landing system cited; investigators urged to preserve evidence and recover black boxes.
Experts indicate absence of an Instrument Landing System at Baramati likely reduced guidance in marginal visibility and could have been a contributing factor; the aircraft performed a go around on an initial approach and crashed on a subsequent approach. Investigators must recover the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, secure the debris to prevent tampering, and obtain aircraft technical documents for forensic analysis to determine whether weather, pilot actions, or technical defects played a role.

Natural calamity relief measures allow banks discretion to restructure short-default standard exposures with reduced provisioning.
A principle-based resolution regime allows Regulated Entities discretion to design and implement resolution plans for exposures affected by natural calamities. Eligible exposures are those classified as Standard but in default up to 30 days (SMA-0) at the time of the calamity. A dedicated invocation window and a separate implementation window are prescribed. Restructured exposures remain Standard with accrual income recognition and reduced additional specific provisioning. REs must arrange alternate banking services in affected areas. The draft harmonises prudential norms across RE categories and invites stakeholder comments.

Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls raises Aadhaar admissibility and risks of disenfranchisement from mass deletions.
The Special Intensive Revision is an inherent electoral roll correction process involving additions and deletions; the exercise is defended as aimed at ensuring eligible voters while petitioners allege mass deletions, lack of transparent legal basis, and risk of disenfranchisement. The admissibility of Aadhaar was discussed: forgery risk alone cannot disqualify the identifier, though Aadhaar does not establish citizenship and may only prevent duplication. A core legal dispute concerns whether citizenship determination and removal from rolls require adjudication by the designated authority rather than administrative processing by electoral officers.
