Easing inflation widens space for further rate cuts: Finmin June Economic Review
New Delhi: The finance ministry on Monday held out hopes of further interest rate cuts, citing muted core inflation, coupled with headline inflation falling well below the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) 4% target. 'Core inflation remains subdued, and overall inflation is comfortably below the RBI's 4% target, affording room for the easing cycle to be sustained,' the ministry noted in its June Monthly Economic Review. The RBI has projected headline inflation at 3.4% for the second quarter of FY26, while actual inflation in Q1 came in below the central bank's target. 'It appears likely that the full fiscal year inflation rate would undershoot the central bank's expectation of 3.7%,' the ministry added. With price pressures easing and growth remaining a priority, the RBI has cut policy rates three times in 2025, lowering the repo rate by a cumulative 100 basis points from 6.50% to 5.50%. The easing cycle began with a 25-basis point cut in February, followed by another in April and a sharper 50-basis point reduction in June, marking a decisive turn towards an accommodative stance. Between January and June 2025, retail inflation eased steadily, offering crucial support to the RBI's rate-cutting cycle. Headline CPI inflation declined from 4.31% in January to a 77-month low of 2.10% in June, driven largely by a sharp fall in food prices, especially vegetables and a favourable base effect. Food inflation turned negative in June, pulling down overall price pressures, even as core inflation remained sticky, hovering around 4.4%. However, despite monetary easing and improved banking sector balance sheets, credit growth has shown signs of slowing, reflecting a mix of cautious borrower sentiment and risk-averse lender behaviour, the economic review said. "A growing preference for bond markets, particularly commercial papers among corporates due to lower borrowing costs, may also explain the shift," it said. "Piggybacking on initiatives like the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) scheme, it is time for corporates to set the ball in motion," it added. To be sure, despite the potential on the domestic front, global geopolitical and economic risks remained elevated. The war in Ukraine, with renewed Russian offensives, along with rising instability in West Asia, continued to cloud the global economic outlook, adding pressure on supply chains and investor sentiment. "Despite the broadly positive outlook, downside risks remain. While geopolitical tensions have not elevated further, the global slowdown, particularly in the US (which shrank by 0.5% in Q1 2025), could dampen further demand for Indian exports," the review said. "Continued uncertainty on the US tariff front may weigh on India's trade performance in the coming quarters," it added. India and the US, meanwhile, have been negotiating trade deal, working to an end-of-August deadline. Meanwhile, the review cautioned that slow credit and tepid private investment may constrain growth acceleration, even as deflation in wholesale prices skews real economic indicators. 'Measured in constant prices, economic activity may appear healthier than it is. All that said, the economy has the look and feel of 'steady as she goes' as far as FY26 is concerned,' it said. 'In the medium term, given the ongoing momentous shifts in global supply chains in the areas of semiconductor chips, rare earths and magnets, India has its task cut out,' it added.

Digital payments rise 10.7 pc at end-March 2025: RBI data
Reuters Representational image Digital payments across the country registered a 10.7 per cent year-on-year rise as on March 2025, according to the RBI's index that measures the adoption of online transactions. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been publishing a composite Reserve Bank of India - Digital Payments Index (RBI-DPI) since January 1, 2021, with March 2018 as the base year to capture the extent of digitisation of payments across the country. The index for March 2025 stands at 493.22 as against 465.33 for September 2024 and 445.5 for March 2024, the RBI said in a statement. "The increase in RBI-DPI index was driven by significant growth in parameters viz. Payment Infrastructure - Supply-side factors and Payment Performance across the country over the period," according to the semi-annual data. The RBI-DPI comprises five broad parameters that enable measurement of deepening and penetration of digital payments in the country over different time periods. These parameters are Payment Enablers (weight 25 per cent), Payment Infrastructure - Demand-side factors (10 per cent), Payment Infrastructure - Supply-side factors (15 per cent), Payment Performance (45 per cent) and Consumer Centricity (5 per cent).

RBI comes up with master direction - business authorization for Co-operative banks
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced Master Direction - Business Authorization for Co-operative Banks (Directions), 2025 today. The provisions of this Direction shall apply to all co-operative banks, i.e., Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks (UCBs), State Co-operative banks (StCBs) and District Central Co-operative banks (DCCBs). The central bank noted that based on a comprehensive review, it has been decided to replace the Financially Sound and Well Managed (FSWM) norms for UCBs with harmonised eligibility criteria for all banks for certain business authorizations/permissions/approvals. These criteria will be referred to as Eligibility Criteria for Business Authorization (ECBA). Any reference to FSWM criteria in any other circular issued by the Reserve Bank may, henceforth, be considered as a reference to compliance with ECBA. It noted that prior permission from the Reserve Bank is required for opening a new place of business including Branches, Extension Counters, ATMs, Controlling Offices (Regional/ Zonal/Administrative Office), Central Processing Centres, Regional Collection Centres, Retail Asset Processing Centres, Service Branches, Back Offices etc. or for changing the location of any existing place of business under Section 23 of the BR Act, 1949 read with Section 56 thereof. Opening a new place of business without valid authorization from the Reserve Bank, unless otherwise permitted by the Reserve Bank, is a violation of the said Act and is liable for penal action. The bank should ensure that there are no restrictions imposed by the local development or other authorities for setting up a commercial establishment in the locality where the new place of business is proposed to be opened.
