Haryana Excise and Taxation Department has collected a revenue of Rs 16,068.81 crore during the financial year 2010-11. The revenue during the previous fiscal was 24.54 per cent more as compared to 2009-10, Haryana’s Excise and Taxation Minister Kiran Choudhry said, while presiding over a meeting to review the functioning of the Department here.
The RBI today tightened the provisioning requirement for banks on certain types of bad and restructured loans as part of its prudential provisioning framework. Banks’ bad loans are classified into three categories — sub-standard, doubtful and loss. The advances classified as ‘sub-standard’ will now attract a provision of 15 per cent as against the existing 10 per cent, the apex bank said in its monetary policy statement for FY12 here.
The Reserve Bank has capped interest rates charged by micro finance institutions from small borrowers at 26 per cent, but opened for MFIs the bank credit line which was curtailed following the crisis faced by the sector in October, 2010.
Home, auto and corporate loans are likely to cost more, with the Reserve Bank raising key policy rates by half a percentage point, bankers said today. I think banks do not have any other option but to increase rates. It could be 25 basis points or 50 basis points, depending on individual banks, IDBI Bank Executive Director R K Bansal told PTI.
