Delhi government's new scheme, Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, which promises ₹1,000 per month to women above 18 years of age is not «revdi» (freebie) but a social welfare initiative aimed at empowering women and boosting economic liquidity, Delhi finance minister Atishi has said.

Kotak Mahindra Bank founder Uday Kotak on Tuesday pitched for a balanced regulatory approach across sectors, contending that too many «guardrails» could weigh down India's growth and hurt its journey towards being a developed nation, while too few of them could invite trouble.

Addressing a two-day conference of the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA), Kotak said sacrificing growth to tackle risks is not a solution but problems need to be dealt with in an innovative manner. Kotak's comments come at a time when watchdogs across the financial sector-from the Reserve Bank of India to the Competition Commission of India-are increasingly facing pressure to balance regulations with innovation, especially due to the fast-paced evolution in the technology space. He said the aspirational annual growth rate of 7.5-8% over the next 20-25 years will require significant capacity building to match up to the fast transformation in the economic landscape.
