Rs400cr raised via bonds, MSCB plans loans to NDCCB, other district banks
Nagpur: Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (MSCB), which has raised Rs400 crore as tier-2 capital through bonds issue, plans to seek additional time from the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) to raise another Rs100 crore. The ultimate plan is to lend part of the amount to the beleaguered Nagpur District Central Cooperative Bank (NDCCB), apart from funding other district-level cooperatives. The funds will be provided to NDCCB as a short-term loan to improve its liquidity. With its board of directors expelled, MSCB is itself run by an administrator — a veteran banker, Vidyadhar Anaskar. Last year, MSCB took over the management of NDCCB as an institutional consultant. This was the first-ever such arrangement in the state's cooperative sector. On Tuesday, the state govt also issued orders to appoint MSCB as the institutional consultant of Nashik District Central Cooperative Bank. MSCB is a part of the three-tier cooperative banking system in the state. Funds flow through MSCB to respective district central cooperative banks (DCCBs), from where they reach the primary agriculture cooperative societies at the village level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Now, the money raised by the bonds is planned to be deployed in assisting the DCCBs across the state," Anaskar told TOI. NDCCB has not been able to recover from the losses caused by an Rs150 crore investment scam two decades ago involving the then chairman and former Congress MLA from Saoner, Sunil Kedar. The losses had kept it under an administrator instead of an elected board of directors. Now, it's under the MSCB's control. MSCB replaced a cooperatives department officer as the administrator for NDCCB. Normally, an individual takes over as an administrator in a crisis-ridden cooperative bank. Anaskar told TOI that MSCB was able to raise Rs400 crore at 8.5% during the two-month window allowed by the RBI. The plan is to raise Rs500 crore in all, and the RBI will be approached to allow additional time. "MSCB has been able to raise funds at much more competitive rates compared to other cooperatives," he said. Anaskar said there are five to six crisis-ridden DCCBs in the state. These include the banks in Wardha, Nagpur and Buldhana in Vidarbha. "MSCB is keen to deploy the funds in these DCCBs," he said.

Same-Sex Unions Not Marriages In Law But Queer Couples Can Form A Family: Madras High Court
Last Updated: The court invoked an emotional letter by late Justice Leila Seth and said not every parent is like her who could acknowledge and accept her son's sexual orientation The Madras High Court recently ordered the release of a 25-year-old woman from the illegal custody of her natal family, declaring that no adult can be detained against their will merely for choosing a same-sex partner. A habeas corpus petition was filed by MA, seeking the release of her partner, D, who her father and other family members had allegedly confined. D's (the detenue's) mother, who accompanied her, accused the petitioner of leading her daughter astray and claimed she was addicted to drugs—allegations the court found baseless after observing the detenue's composure and clarity. The bench comprising Justices GR Swaminathan and V Lakshminarayanan interacted with the detenue in private, as per Supreme Court guidelines in Devu G Nair v State of Kerala, to ascertain her true wishes. The woman, a well-qualified adult, told the court that she is a lesbian and in a consensual relationship with the petitioner. She described being forcibly taken home, subjected to rituals intended to 'cure" her, and even beaten by her family members. Highlighting India's evolving legal recognition of LGBTQIA+ rights, the bench referenced landmark Supreme Court decisions, including NALSA v. Union of India, Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, and the recognition of 'chosen families" in Deepika Singh v. CAT. The judges emphasised that sexual orientation and identity fall squarely within the protective ambit of Article 21 of the Constitution, guaranteeing personal liberty and dignity. 'We feel a certain discomfort in employing the expression 'queer'," the bench observed. 'To a homosexual individual, his/her/their sexual orientation must be perfectly natural and normal. There is nothing strange or odd about such inclinations. Why then should they be called as queer?" the court said. The judgment concluded with a continuing mandamus directing jurisdictional police to provide protection to the couple if required and restrained the woman's family from interfering with her liberty. 'We endeavoured in vain to impress upon the mother that her daughter, being an adult, is entitled to choose a life of her own," the court noted, while expressing empathy for the parent's social conditioning. The bench invoked a letter by the late Justice Leila Seth, who had once written emotionally about the criminalisation of homosexuality and the pain it caused families. 'What makes life meaningful is love. The right that makes us human is the right to love," she wrote. 'Not every parent is like Justice Leila Seth. She could acknowledge and accept her son's sexual orientation," the bench emphasised. Referring to the Supreme Court's ruling in Supriyo @ Supriya Chakraborty Vs Union of India (2023), the high court stressed that it may not have legalised marriage between same sex couples, but they can very well form a family. 'Marriage is not the sole mode to found a family. The concept of 'chosen family' is now well settled and acknowledged in LGBTQIA+ jurisprudence. The petitioner and the detenue can very well constitute a family," the division bench held. First Published: June 05, 2025, 13:17 IST
