T.N. CM Stalin welcomes reconsideration of gold loan rules, urges Centre to consult States on key policy changes
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday (May 30, 2025) appreciated the Centre for considering his concerns regarding the proposed restrictions in the Reserve Bank of India's (Lending Against Gold Collateral) Directions, 2025. He added that such policies should be framed only after prior consultations with the States.
In a post on X, Mr. Stalin said: 'Glad to note that @FinMinIndia has responded to the concerns raised by me in my letter to the Hon'ble Union Finance Minister regarding @RBI's draft guidelines on gold loans. Protecting the interests of small borrowers, especially those seeking loans below ₹2 lakh, such as farmers and daily earners, and ensuring timely and accessible credit has been my consistent demand.'
'While appreciating the positive consideration given to this issue, we emphasise that such policies having significant impact on the poor should be arrived at after due prior consultation with States,' he added.

Govt to get extra headroom to spend on defence due to strong fiscal position: Report
New Delhi: With the strong emerging fiscal position in 2025-26, the government is likely to have some additional headroom to meet unforeseen expenditure on account of defence, according to a Bank of Baroda report released on Saturday. The observation assumes importance in the backdrop of the tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. In its outlook for FY26, the report points out that the government has budgeted a fiscal deficit of 4.4 per cent of GDP, assuming 10.1 per cent growth in nominal GDP. 'We expect this growth to be around 11 per cent, as we believe real GDP will range between 6.4-6.6 per cent this year,' the report states. This is expected to provide additional fiscal space to the government. 'Given that the government is off to a speedy start in FY26, with April 2025 data showing that revenue receipts are already at 7.5 per cent of the budgeted target versus at 6.8 per cent of target achieved last year during the same period, we expect the government to meet its revenue targets this year. The income tax cut will also give a boost to consumption, which in turn will support indirect tax receipts,' the report states. On the spending front, keeping up with past trends, the government has begun front loading of expenditure from Q1 itself, with capex in April already at 14.3 per cent of FY26 budget estimate versus 8.9 per cent last year during the same period, the report further states. Despite this, the fiscal deficit is still only at 11.9 per cent of FY26 budget estimate versus 13 per cent last year which indicates that the government will be able to meet its fiscal deficit target in the current financial year, the report added. The report also points out that the Centre's fiscal deficit was at 4.8 per cent in the financial year 2024-25, in line with the government's revised projections. Better than expected growth in nominal GDP (9.8 per cent as per provisional estimate versus 7.6 per cent as per FY25 revised estimate), and some trimming in expenditure helped the government achieve this target. Revenue growth noted some moderation, mainly led by revenue receipts. Within revenue receipts, income tax and GST collections registered some shortfall. Corporate tax collections and non-tax revenue growth outperformed FY25 revised estimate targets. On the spending front, while capital expenditure surpassed its revised budgetary FY25 target, revenue expenditure witnessed some shortfall. This was not on account of subsidies, as both food and fertilizer subsidies fell in line with budgeted projections, the report added. Major ministries which registered higher than budgeted spending included: consumer and food affair, road & transport, rural development, home affairs and renewable energy.

Cut in import duty to discourage ryots from taking up oil palm plantation: Tummala
HYDERABAD The Centre's move to reduce import duty on palm oil (all edible oils) from 27.5% to 16.5% would discourage farmers from taking up oil palm cultivation, Minister for Agriculture Tummala Nageswara Rao said on Saturday. He requested the Centre to review its decision in the interests of farmers and for promotion of edible oil plantation crop to protect local farmers' interests. On Friday, the Centre reduced customs duty on the crude palm, sunflower and soya oils to bring down the import duty. Mr. Rao stated that the oil palm farmers had been demanding for a long time to increase the import duty from 27.5% to 40% to make their cultivation of the edible oil crop remunerative. However, the Centre had reduced the duty in the name of bringing down the food prices. The move would bring down the prices of oil palm bunches, presently at ₹21,000 per tonne affecting the returns drastically. The cut in import duty would make farmers who were planning to take to oilpalm cultivation have second thoughts, would affect the extent of the plantation crop and would become a hurdle in the plans to achieve self reliance in the matter of edible oils. He addressed a letter to the Union Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal and Minister of Agriculture Shivraj Singh Chouhan to review the Centre's decision. On the green manure seed supply, the minister said over 56,262 quintals of seed was purchased by nearly 1.18 lakh farmers so far against the 89,302 quintals positioned in Agros Rythu Seva Kendras and PACSs. Against the indent placed for 'jeeluga' seed (sesbania), the National Seed Corporation had supplied 750 kits (5 kg each) of 5 varieties of green manure used in other States. It was ready to supply another 5,000 kits containing one-kg each of jeeluga, jute, cluster beans and maize and half-kg each of jowar and cowpea seed used in other States as green manure to improve the soil fertility. The cost of each kit is ₹635.
