Global powers will bully India unless it becomes most unapologetic superpower: Eternal CEO
Agencies Global powers will always bully India unless it takes its destiny in its own hands, Eternal (formerly Zomato) CEO Deepinder Goyal said on Thursday, a day after US President Donald Trump ratcheted up tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent. In a post on X, he said India should collectively decide to become the world's "most unapologetic superpower" amid the "threat" and "tariff"."Every few years, the world reminds us of our place. A threat here, a tariff there. But the message is the same: stay in your lane, India. Global powers will always bully us, unless we take our destiny in our own hands. And the only way to do that is if we collectively decide to become the world's largest most unapologetic superpower in the world. In economy, in technology, in defense, and most importantly, in ambition," CEO of online food delivery platform Eternal, said. "There is absolutely no other way," he emphasised.

Home loan EMI charged in advance? Can lenders do it, and how to contest it
If your home loan lender has deducted an EMI even before your actual repayment schedule started, you may be entitled to compensation, including interest on the advance amount. Recent regulatory updates and legal interpretations indicate that such advance deductions, unless fully disclosed and adjusted fairly, can be challenged. Advance EMI deductions Lenders are not supposed to deduct EMI before the due date, and doing so without the borrower's consent could amount to an unfair trade practice, according to Shashank Agarwal, founder, Legum Solis, a law firm. 'RBI has clearly frowned on this practice,' notes Bhargesh Ojha, partner at Chandhiok and Mahajan, a law firm. The central bank, through its Fair Practices Code (FPC) circular dated April 29, 2024, directed lenders to avoid prejudicial practices and ensure full transparency via a Key Fact Statement (KFS). Even if an EMI is deducted at the loan disbursement stage, a tactic used by some lenders, the borrower must receive a clear explanation, proper documentation, and interest credit for the advance amount, adds Vijendra Singh Shekhawat, chartered accountant & chief executive officer of Choice Finserv. Interest must be paid on advance EMI 'Any amount retained as advance EMI without adjusting it or crediting interest amounts to unjust enrichment,' says Tushar Kumar, advocate, Supreme Court of India. Housing finance companies, as per a recent NHB directive (July 2025), must now compensate borrowers with interest on such sums. Shravan Shetty, managing director, Primus Partners, concurs, adding that 'companies cannot retain advance EMIs without adjusting or recognising them, and must communicate clearly with borrowers.' How to check if you're affected Here's how to verify whether an advance EMI was wrongly deducted: Review your loan account statement and disbursement schedule Check if any EMI debit appears before your due date Look for entries in suspense or intermediary accounts Cross-check with the KFS or ask your lender for a detailed ledger Digital-savvy users can inspect their loan account via banking apps or net banking portals, adds Sarika Shetty, chief executive officer at RentenPe. How to file a complaint? If you find such deduction without interest adjustment: Raise a written complaint with your lender and request resolution Escalate to the lender's Nodal Officer if not resolved File a complaint under the RBI's Integrated Ombudsman Scheme For loans from housing finance companies, register a complaint on GRIDS portal As a last resort, approach Consumer Forum for compensation 'Borrowers are well within their rights to seek refunds and even compensation,' confirms Ojha, citing precedents where consumer courts ruled in favour of borrowers.

What is the difference between tariffs imposed by US president Trump on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and China? Details in numbers
What is the difference between tariffs imposed by US president Trump on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and China? Details in numbers US President Donald Trump announced revised tariffs against several countries on Wednesday. India is a major target this time, as Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on the country. This figure is much higher than the tariffs imposed by the US on other countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China. The cause of enormous tariffs is India's export business with Russia. According to the US president, India has to avoid oil exports from Russia due to the Russia-Ukraine War and he believes all the countries helping Russia's diplomacy will be imposed with tariff punishments. He hinted at secondary sanctions, too. What are Secondary Sanctions? Trump is putting additional financial pressure on countries like India because of their trade relationships with Russia. As per him, any country that restricts America from targeting primary sanctions imposed on Russia may be inflicted with secondary sanctions. Who is paying more and who is paying less? The US has forced 30% tariffs on China, 20% on Bangladesh, and 19% on Pakistan. Alongside, India and Brazil are the highest tariff-hit countries. Switzerland and Canada stand at number three and four with 39% and 35% tariffs, respectively. Why is the US targeting India? India and the US have shared cordial relationships in the past. However, India's closeness with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, over the oil export is looked down on by America. On July 31, Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on India, raising them to 50% by signing an executive order on August 6, effective August 7. How are the officials of India reacting? At this, PM Modi has stated that he's ready to pay a huge personal cost, if necessary, but won't sacrifice the interests of nations' farmers. In addition, the RBI Governor, Sanjay Malhotra, said, 'We don't see a major impact of US tariffs on the Indian economy unless there is a retaliatory tariff.'
