Bank of Baroda (BoB), India's second largest public sector lender by assets, is stepping up on retail loan growth with renewed focus on home loans, tie-ups with auto companies, and a fresh strategy to target corporate account employees with personal loans as it expects a 20% compound annual growth rate to continue at least for the next 3 years, executive director Sanjay Mudaliar said. The brisk pace in retail loans will mean the proportion of retail in its total loan book could increase to about 32% in the next three years from 27%. Home loans as a percentage of BoB's loan book are relatively lower at 51% compared to 55% for larger peer SBI. Mudaliar said early success in personal and auto loans meant the bank never stepped on the pedal on home loans but that is now changing. «We had an experience in home loans, but it was not scaled up to the extent we were looking for. Now with the personal loans coming under pressure, the bank is going slow on digital lending, and with the ups and downs in auto loans, the shift is happening towards home loans,» he said.

Trump administration, accusing them of violating federal record-keeping laws by discussing military operations on the encrypted messaging app Signal. The case, filed by American Oversight, names Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as defendants. “The Federal Records Act requires federal officials to preserve communications related to official government business,” American Oversight stated in its lawsuit, which seeks to prevent the destruction of federal records and compel compliance with the law. At the heart of the case is an extraordinary blunder: journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was mistakenly added to the group chat in which senior Trump officials were reportedly discussing a planned strike in Yemen. The lawsuit, however, does not focus on the security breach itself but rather on the officials’ alleged failure to preserve these critical communications.

The report sparked a firestorm of criticism from opposition Democrats and concerns among several Republicans. Several Democrats are calling for resignations of some Trump officials involved. Amid this, it has now emerged that Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz and JD Vance celebrated the elimination of Houthi commander in the leaked group chat.
