UPS Provident pandemic cover inclusion Updates Centre weighs mega microfinance credit guarantee scheme for NBFCs in upcoming budget

NEW DELHI: The finance ministry is weighing a plan to provide credit guarantee cover to funds that NBFCs raise from banks and ramp up their microfinance operations, according to two people familiar with the development.The proposed one-time credit guarantee scheme will help non-banking financial company-microfinance institutions (NBFC-MFIs) access funds from banks easily and tide over a liquidity crunch in maintaining their lending to low-income households that lack access to traditional banking.The guarantee cover under consideration will be larger than the ₹7,500 crore cover that was offered during the pandemic. The new scheme is likely to be managed by the state-run National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company, which will cover and underwrite the lending risk to NBFC-MFIs arising due to factors outside the control of small borrowers.This will help NBFC-MFIs to draw funds on easier terms from financial institutions.

Private capital has not responded with the breadth or momentum one would expect at India’s current stage of development.

Google Platform Gemini Experts Freedom information Updates Elon Musk’s Grok under India's AI sexual content lens; Google Gemini, ChatGPT may be in compliance

Mint review of usage practices and public policies across X, Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT found that safeguards on such content are not uniform across companies.As MeitY’s notice put X under scrutiny, policy and AI experts pointed to a key policy gap that appears to have placed Grok in the government’s firing line even as other platforms have so far avoided similar action.On 2 January, the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) issued a notice to X seeking details on how the platform acts against objectionable content and how it plans to address sexual content. The move followed concerns over how Grok, which is embedded within X (formerly Twitter), can be used to modify photographs into content that could be deemed sexual, obscene, or violative of a user’s privacy.Mint has seen a copy of the notice which had set time until Monday for X's reply.X has sought more time to respond to Meity's notice, meanwhile.

₹50,000 business, shoot a YouTube video—to capture low-intent, high-frequency users early in the funnel.Priced as low as ₹1 and consumed in minutes a day, this content is designed less to teach deeply and more to build daily engagement, turning everyday questions into habit—and habit into revenue.The shift marks a clear break from outcome-led edtech, which relies on full-time teachers and structured curricula. Micro-learning platforms instead monetise curiosity, leaning on subject-matter experts and creator-led content at a time when the sector is under pressure to show early revenue traction.Platforms like Seekho cracked this early and now clock close to $4-4.5 million monthly revenue, according to media reports.
