Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has recommended several regulators oversee crypto trade nationwide. This move has sparked considerable interest within India's crypto community, given the RBI's historically strict control over digital assets. It's important to highlight that since 2018, the RBI has maintained strict control over cryptocurrencies, forbidding banks and other regulated entities from facilitating crypto transactions. However, SEBI's recent proposal for a multi-regulator approach to oversee crypto trading has injected a sense of anticipation into the market.

The Indian Express last week, union minister for petroleum and natural gas Hardeep Singh Puri said that PSEs had utilized their profits for capex investment, and that as of February, public sector oil and gas companies were implementing projects with a combined investment of ₹5.67 trillion. But this is spread over several years, and the pace of growth would be a better indicator. One measure of PSE capex is ‘net block’, or the sum of a company’s assets on a given date, adjusted for depreciation.

Latest on DA hike: 25% increase in gratuity due to dearness allowance hike kept on hold; here’s why
Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has opted to keep in «abeyance» the increase in retirement and death gratuity for workers, which is a blow to those employed by the government and organised sector.

A week later, on May 7, the retirement fund organisation released another circular saying that, effective immediately, the gratuity augmentation due to the rise in DA has been placed on hold. The decision's rationale has not been stated in the order.
