IAS officials appointments to oversee five Jyotirlinga development plans
The Maharashtra government on Wednesday appointed five senior IAS officers to monitor and oversee the implementation of development plans for five major Jyotirling pilgrimage sites of the state. According to officials, the appointments were made as per the directions of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the move is aimed at ensuring time-bound and high-quality execution of the Jyotirlinga development projects at Bhimashankar (Pune), Grishneshwar (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), Trimbakeshwar (Nashik), Aundha Nagnath (Hingoli), and Parli Vaijnath (Beed). Each officer will oversee progress and report directly to the Chief Minister's Office. These Jyotirling temples are among the twelve most revered Shaivite shrines in India and attract lakhs of pilgrims annually. The state had earlier approved development master plans for each site through a high-level committee and followed by formal government resolutions allocating funds for it. 'This is the first time senior officers have been designated for direct oversight of religious infrastructure projects at this level. The aim is for coordinated, efficient, and transparent execution,' a senior official from the CMO said. The state government has already allocated funds for the development of these sites. Rs 148.37 crore has been allocated for Bhimashankar, Rs 156.63 crore for Grishneshwar, Rs 275 crore for Trimbakeshwar, Rs 15.21 crore for Aundha Nagnath, and Rs 286.68 crore for Parli Vaijnath in Beed.

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.

Existing liquidity management tools are considered sufficient, and the daily minimum CRR requirement will stay at 90% of the set level.
