Mukesh Ambani's family is likely to invest a large amount in Jio Financial Services' upcoming fundraising plan, which could go up to Rs. 10,000 crore. As per a report in Business Standards, the company's board will meet on Wednesday to look at different ways to raise this money. Some of the options being considered include offering new shares to existing shareholders (rights issue), selling shares to selected investors (preferential allotment), or inviting big institutions to invest (qualified institutional placement). They may also choose a mix of these methods. At the moment, the Ambani family owns about 47.1 per cent of the company. But after this fundraise, their share could go above 51 per cent, which would give them majority control.

Kerala to roll out SOP, boost staff strength to fast-track land conversion cases
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state government is set to introduce Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to assist district administrative officers in handling land conversion applications, aiming to bring clarity and speed to a process long criticised for delays and confusion. The state revenue department conducted a meeting regarding this matter. According to senior revenue officials, the move will leverage technology, including satellite imagery, to ensure that genuine cases are approved while preventing illegal conversion of wetlands and paddy lands. At present, such decisions rest primarily with revenue divisional officers (RDOs). The new system will also empower deputy collectors (DCs) to take up these cases, raising the number of decision-making officials from 27 to 72. Officials believe this expansion, along with the SOP, will reduce bottlenecks. 'Applicants have often been forced to run from pillar to post due to delays and lack of clarity. With more officers and a clear SOP, we expect faster and fairer decisions,' said a senior official. According to the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act of 2008, conversion of wetlands for residential or commercial use, prior to 2008 will not have legal validity. To verify such claims, authorities intend to use satellite imageries in addition to supporting documentation like tax returns, building plans, and home loan documents. Property document writers point to shortcomings in the land data bank established under the 2008 Act to support their claim that the new system is necessary. 'Many entries were made without site visits, relying only on office records. As a result, lands converted decades earlier were still marked as paddy fields. An SOP and more decision-makers can finally resolve these long-pending issues,' said P R Ramakrishnan, a document writer from Kottayam. The impact is expected to be significant for residents like Mariyakutty, a senior citizen, from Kanjirappally, who have struggled for approval to rebuild her family home.

DoT's draft eSecurity rules draw fresh flak from telcos, experts
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills ETtech The Department of Telecommunications' (DoT) draft amendments to cybersecurity rules have drawn flak from multiple stakeholders, including telecom and tech players as well as privacy proposed rules, experts said, are too overarching and compromise the privacy of rules broaden the scope of traffic data collection and analysis, potentially bringing non-licensee entities like over-the-top (OTT) players, apps and any entity utilising a telecom identifier, like a mobile number, under the ambit of the government's oversight framework."While this aligns with the state's legitimate objectives of national security and cyber resilience under Sections 20-22 of the Telecommunications Act, it raises complex questions around proportionality and safeguards, especially in light of the Supreme Court's Puttaswamy judgment (in 2017) on privacy as a fundamental right," said Shreya Suri, partner at law firm CMS new draft rules, in its current form, will apply to all 'telecommunication identifier user entities' (TIUEs), or entities that use phone numbers to identify customers or their noted that the Telecommunications Act was meant to regulate licensed players and not OTTs, especially communication needs to be clarified if DoT can enlarge the mandate of the Act through the rules, they are also upset that the draft rules prescribe a fee for validation of a mobile number by authorised entities - Rs 1.5 per request for registered entities and Rs 3 for other entities. They said any fee should be left to market Bawa, partner and telecom leader at PwC India, said the draft rightly seeks to address systemic vulnerabilities across the digital ecosystem by extending regulatory oversight to TIUEs, including OTTs and digital platforms."However, the expanded scope and provisions for traffic data collection warrant greater clarity in definitions, risk-tiered compliance frameworks, and strong institutional safeguards to prevent regulatory overreach," he DoT has proposed tightening of cybersecurity rules, through which it can direct telecom operators and other entities like OTT players, banks, financial institutions, and ecommerce firms to verify mobile numbers or identities of users through a centralised step is aimed at curbing the growing menace of online fraud and spoofing. "The government will need to ensure that data collection remains purpose-limited, transparent, and proportionate to the stated security goals, so that these new powers don't inadvertently expand into unchecked surveillance," Suri of CMS IndusLaw DoT has proposed establishing a mobile number validation (MNV) platform by the central government, or an agency authorised by it, to ensure telecom cybersecurity and prevent security incidents. The government should also "issue directions to authorised entities and licensees as regards the form and manner in which to participate on such a platform," it said in the draft notification.
