No impact on biz: RInfra, RPower after SBI's 'fraud' tag on RCom account

Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra) and its subsidiary Reliance Power (R-Power) have said that the recent move by the State Bank of India (SBI) to classify the loan account of Reliance Communications (R-Com) as 'fraud' will not affect their business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders.
R-Infra and R-Power are separate and independent listed entities with no business or financial linkage to R-Com, both companies said in separate stock exchange filings on Thursday.
Further, Anil Ambani is not on the board of R-Infra and R-Power.
On Wednesday, R-Com disclosed to the exchanges that the SBI has decided to classify the company's loan account as 'fraud' due to irregularities in the conduct of the account.
The SBI is also set to report both the account and Ambani, a director at R-Com, to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
'We have taken cognisance of the responses (wherever received) to our show-cause notice (SCN), and after due examination of the same it is concluded that sufficient reasons have not been provided by the respondent, to explain the non-adherence to the agreed terms and conditions of the loan documents or the irregularities observed in the conduct of the account of Reliance Communications to the satisfaction of the bank,' SBI said in a letter to RCom on June 23, which the company received on June 30.
The company has, however, clarified that the classification of 'fraud' by SBI is not expected to have any impact on it and that it is seeking legal advice on the same.
Besides, R-Com is undergoing a corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. A resolution plan has been approved by the committee of creditors of the company and is presently awaiting approval of the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench.

7 ways Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will impact non-Americans

Framed as a bill to restore American strength, reduce inflation, and fund US priorities, Trump's new legislative proposal also carries significant consequences for the rest of the world, particularly non-Americans read more Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La, surrounded by Republican members of Congress, signs US President Donald Trump's signature bill of tax breaks and spending cuts, July 3, 2025, at the Capitol in Washington, DC, US. File Image/AP US President Donald Trump's newly passed legislative package, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, marks one of the most sweeping overhauls of America's tax, trade, and immigration systems in recent times. While the bill is pitched as a way to 'restore American strength' and redirect national spending to domestic priorities, its global consequences are wide-ranging, particularly for non-Americans across the world. Here are 7 key ways the bill is expected to shape lives and economies outside the United States: STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 1. Remittance tax to hit foreign households The bill imposes a 1% tax on cash remittances sent from the US to other countries. This will affect millions of families in major remittance-dependent economies like India, Mexico, and the Philippines, potentially reducing their annual income by billions of dollars. The tax does not apply to wire or bank-based transfers. 2. Withholding uncertainty for foreign investors While the bill does not impose new withholding taxes on foreign investors, it includes broad corporate tax changes that could affect foreign-owned US assets. Global banks, pension funds, and sovereign wealth entities are bracing for potential regulatory changes that could erode returns on US-linked investments. 3. Trade tensions may escalate The repeal of the 'de minimis' exemption means that small shipments from foreign retailers into the US, previously untaxed if valued under $800, will now be subject to tariffs. This could disproportionately hit exporters in China, the EU, and Latin America, possibly sparking retaliatory trade measures. 4. Climate commitments rolled back The bill rolls back key clean energy tax credits established under the Inflation Reduction Act, including subsidies for electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind energy projects. This may stall momentum in global green supply chains, particularly among US-EU climate partnerships and Asia-based component suppliers. 5. Tighter US immigration access STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The legislation ramps up funding for ICE and Border Patrol and introduces a minimum $100 fee on asylum applications. Although lower than earlier proposals, the new cost barriers could impact international students, temporary workers, and refugees, making the path to the US more expensive and bureaucratic. 6. Ripple effects in global markets From taxes on remittances to regulatory changes in energy and trade, the bill could cause a shift in global investment strategy, increased dollar volatility, and a realignment of financial exposure away from the US by emerging economies. 7. Concerns over US global commitments While the bill does not explicitly cut foreign aid, critics warn that its massive domestic spending increases — including over $170 billion for immigration enforcement — could lead to future reductions in US contributions to global health, development, and humanitarian programs. President Trump's 'big beautiful' promise is already reshaping the US economy, and its effects will be felt far beyond American borders. From higher remittance costs and tighter visa controls to new barriers for global trade and climate cooperation, the bill signals a sharp turn inward, with real consequences for the rest of the world.

Apple Watch Series 10 Sees Massive Price Drop on Vijay Sales – Now from Rs 39,990

If you've been eyeing the latest Apple Watch, now might be the perfect time to make your move. The Apple Watch Series 10 is currently being offered at a significantly reduced price on Vijay Sales, with combined discounts reaching up to Rs 12,410 — one of the biggest deals so far on the new smartwatch. The 46mm Aluminium GPS model, originally priced at Rs 49,900, is now available for Rs 39,990. That's a flat price cut of Rs 9,910, applicable to both the Rose Gold model with Light Blush Sport Band and the variant that comes with the Plus Sport Loop. Additionally, those using ICICI, SBI, or Kotak bank cards can avail an extra Rs 2,500 discount, bringing the effective cost down to Rs 37,490 — a compelling deal for a premium smartwatch. The 42mm Aluminium GPS version has also received a price drop. Initially launched at Rs 46,900, it's now selling at Rs 44,600, without any bank offers applied. This version, available in Jet Black Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band, becomes even more affordable with the applicable bank discount, dropping the price further to Rs 42,100. For those who prefer cellular variants, the 42mm GPS + Cellular version is now priced at Rs 54,100, down from its launch price of Rs 56,900. That's a straight Rs 2,800 off, and it can be lowered further with eligible bank card offers. The larger 46mm GPS + Cellular model is also discounted. Previously retailing at Rs 59,900, it's now available for Rs 57,000, marking a Rs 2,900 reduction on the Jet Black Aluminium Case with Ink Sport Loop. However, the Titanium variants of the Apple Watch Series 10 — which come with GPS and cellular support — remain priced above Rs 80,000, with no ongoing offers at the moment. Despite that, the Aluminium models offer a great balance between features and affordability, making them a smart buy for those seeking a high-performance smartwatch without crossing the Rs 50,000 threshold. In terms of specifications, the Apple Watch Series 10 is available in 42mm and 46mm case sizes. It features an Always-On Retina OLED display that offers up to 2000 nits brightness, ensuring excellent visibility even in bright daylight. Under the hood, it runs on Apple's powerful S10 SiP with a 64-bit dual-core processor and operates on WatchOS 11. Health and fitness tracking remains robust with Series 10, offering features like ECG, Blood Oxygen monitoring, cycle tracking with ovulation estimates, and various sports modes. Apple claims up to 18 hours of battery life on regular use and up to 36 hours in low-power mode. For users in India considering a feature-rich and stylish smartwatch, the ongoing deals on the Apple Watch Series 10, especially on Vijay Sales, make it a worthy option to explore.

Mukesh Ambani's big move: Reliance buys stake in this company, the plan is to... In a major development, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) has recently purchased a minority stake in FaceGym, a United Kingdom-based company. FaceGym, in the coming months, will introduce skincare brands in the Indian market. According to Reliance, this is part of its major plan to expand in the booming beauty and fitness sector. What Did Both The Companies Say? As per Reliance's statement, FaceGym will enter the Indian market with the help of Reliance Retail's brand Tira. Tira will look after the UK-based company's local operations and market development. Notably, FaceGym will bring its innovative concept to the Indian market. The Ambani-led company said that it will establish the brand and also expand its presence in the country in the next five years. To achieve this goal, the company is planning to mix single studio, curated areas in select Tira stores in major cities. What Reliance Retail Is Planning? Reliance Retail had recently stated that it is expanding its operations to a great extent, with plans to open more stores in order to expand its coverage area. The company has also witnessed a growth of 2.4 times in the number of orders from its Quick Commerce in the March quarter. While revealing its quarterly figures earlier this week, Reliance Retail Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Dinesh Taluja stated that this reported growth is significant for the company. What Is Reliance's Hyper-Local Delivery? Reliance offers hyper-local delivery in less the 30 minutes to as many as 4,000 pin codes across the country through its existing stores. Notably, the reach of Reliance's hyper-local delivery is far wider than any other quick commerce company. Reliance Retail's JioMart app provides customers with three options for quick and scheduled delivery.
