03:15pm DLF in News
In a temporary relief for realty major DLF, the Supreme Court (SC) today has
granted status quo to the Punjab and Haryana High court order directing
re-auction of 350 acre land parcel, which was alloted to the company in the
year 2009.
The Punjab and Haryana High court had ordered the Haryana Government to scrap
this land deal after concerns were raised by the farmers. Also, it had directed
re-auction of this land.
The apex court has also issued notice to the Haryana government with respect
to the DLF appeal.
DLF was allotted this land at Wazirabad in Gurgaon for Rs 1750 crore. The
company emerged as sole bidder in competitive bids after Unitech, Malaysian
Consortium dropped out of it on technical grounds. The real estate player had
submitted bids for 12,000 per sq mt as against a reserve price for 11,978 per
sq mt.
03:00pm NBFCs in Focus
Shares in non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) gained ground today after
the Raghuram Rajan-led Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last evening issued final
guidelines for allowing the set up of “payment banks” and “small finance banks”
in the country.
Shares of Shriram Transport Finance, Sundaram Finance, SREI Infra Finance,
Manappuram Finance and Muthoot Finance surged 3.9 percent to 4.3
percent amid hopes the companies would have a shot at turning themselves into
small banks.
The central bank defines a payment bank as one that will be allowed to take
deposits and offer remittances up to a small limit (Rs 1 lakh currently) to its
customers but cannot lend money. A small finance bank will operate in a similar
fashion to a normal bank (by taking deposits, offering withdrawals as well as
offering loans) but with a focus on small, underserved areas of the country.
A typical candidate for a payments bank is a telecom company or a retail
chain that can tap into its existing captive customers and provide them
technology-based financial services such as payments and withdrawals.
While the issue of guidelines pertaining to small banks is expected to pave
the way for several non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) to convert into one,
a move that would also bring them closer to becoming a universal bank in
future. More information please visit this site www.bigprofitbuzz.com
