RBI finalises co-lending framework starting Jan 2026
Mumbai: RBI has come out with final co-lending rules for banks and non-banks which allow dual lending with a single KYC. The final norms mandate blended lending rates, irrevocable funding commitments, and escrow-based cashflow distribution, while keeping first loss default guarantee. These, along with capital impacts and lower returns, could make co-lending less attractive for originators. A 15-day loan transfer deadline may also drive lenders toward simpler direct assignment deals, ICRA said. The framework will become effective Jan 1, 2026. Credit enhancement for bonds RBI's norms on non-fund credit have allowed banks, financial institutions and NBFCs to offer partial credit enhancement to make certain types of bonds safer for investors. This facility can be extended to bonds issued by registered entities-municipal corporations, companies or special-purpose vehicles-for funding any type of project by large, non-deposit-taking NBFCs with assets of Rs 1,000 crore or more, subject to specified conditions. Call rate as policy anchor An RBI panel has recommended keeping the weighted average call rate as the main monetary policy target. It suggested ending 14-day variable rate repo and reverse repo (VRR/VRRR) auctions as the main liquidity tool, replacing them with 7-day operations and flexible terms up to 14 days when needed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Signs That A Heart Attack Is Imminent Learn It Wise Undo The RBI should usually give at least a day's notice for such actions, but can act the same day in special cases. Variable rate auctions will continue for all repo and reverse repo operations, including longer tenors. Existing liquidity management tools are considered sufficient, and the daily minimum CRR requirement will stay at 90% of the set level.

Min mandates use of Made in India goods in 3 depts
1 2 Jaipur: Cabinet minister Madan Dilawar announced Wednesday that only Made in India products must be used in education, Panchayati Raj, and Sanskrit education departments. He said only products not available in the country and requiring imports can be used after approval from the minister. "This initiative has been started to realise the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India campaign . This will increase the use of goods manufactured in India, and it will also have a positive impact on our economy. Many foreign countries earn profit from us by selling their products in India, but they use that money to help our enemy country," said Dilawar. Speaking to TOI, he added that if any foreign product is used in these departments, personal recovery will be done from the officer concerned. "If any officer or employee of these departments purchases foreign goods, then not only will strict action be taken against them, but the payment of the purchased goods will also be recovered from them," said Dilawar. He also appealed to women ahead of Rakshabandhan to purchase only indigenous products for the festival. "If you go to the market to buy Rakhi, buy only locally made Rakhi made by our Indian artisans. Boycott foreign Rakhis, especially those made in China, do not buy them. With this, you will not only serve the country but also provide employment to fellow citizens. Adopt Swadeshi and make the country strong," he said. Reacting to the announcement, state Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra said that the decision was inappropriate and irrational decision.
