Insolvency regulator's panel suggests resolution of realty cases to focus on project completion - Regulators - 1 min read Insolvency regulator's panel suggests resolution of realty cases to focus on project completion The committee, set up by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) following the Supreme Court's direction in September 2025, included representatives from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, and other stakeholders. New Delhi, The resolution of insolvency cases related to the real estate sector should adopt a project-centric approach to ensure the timely completion of projects rather than prioritising financial recovery, an insolvency regulator's panel has said. The committee, set up by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) following the Supreme Court's direction in September 2025, included representatives from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, and other stakeholders. The apex court, in its order on September 12 last year, asked the IBBI to frame guidelines, in consultation with Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs), for real estate insolvency, including timelines for project-wise resolution and safeguards for homebuyers. The committee noted that insolvency in the real estate sector presents unique challenges as it directly affects large numbers of homebuyers whose primary expectation is completion and delivery of homes rather than financial recovery. It emphasised the need for a shift from an entity-centric, recovery-focused framework to a project-centric approach to ensure the timely completion of housing projects. The panel adopted a consultative and evidence-based approach, undertaking extensive stakeholder consultations with financial institutions, industry representatives, homebuyer associations, insolvency professionals,…

US Justice Department opens probe into NFL over anticompetitive practices, source says

US Justice Department opens probe into NFL over anticompetitive practices, source says - International - 2 min read US Justice Department opens probe into NFL over anticompetitive practices, source says NFL-US Justice Department opens probe into NFL over anticompetitive practices, source says By Jody Godoy and Kanjyik Ghosh - The U.S. Justice Department has opened an investigation into whether the National Football League has engaged in anticompetitive tactics that harm consumers, according to a source familiar with the matter. Major broadcast station owners, U.S. regulators and senators have raised concerns in the past over the difficulties consumers face in watching sports games and the growing trend of selling broadcast rights to streamers. The nature and full scope of the investigation could not be immediately ascertained. However, the NFL said in a statement on Thursday that more than 87% of its games are aired on free broadcast TV and that all games are aired on free broadcast television in markets of participating teams. The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. In February, the Federal Communications Commission opened a review into the growing shift of live sports away from broadcast networks to pay TV and subscription services, seeking comment on actions the agency "could take to ensure continued access by viewers to live sports through free over-the-air broadcast TV." In response, major broadcast station owners last month urged the regulator to address the trend of Big Tech companies acquiring the rights to broadcast football, baseball and other sporting events, saying it could weaken local TV news. The FCC has said many sporting events previously available through free broadcast or traditional cable TV packages are now available only through…

RBI proposes lagged credit for push payments, kill switch to mitigate financial fraud

RBI proposes lagged credit for push payments, kill switch to mitigate financial fraud - Regulators - 2 min read RBI proposes lagged credit for push payments, kill switch to mitigate financial fraud The Reserve Bank of India has proposed new measures to combat financial fraud, including lagged credit for authorized push payments exceeding Rs 10,000 and a 'kill switch' for digital payments. These proposals aim to address the rise in digital payment frauds and protect vulnerable customers, with feedback sought by May 8. To mitigate financial fraud, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday proposed lagged credit for authorised push payments and a control or kill switch for digital payments. It further proposed limiting aggregate credits in an account to help counter the problem created by mule accounts, and the designation of a trusted person to authenticate high-value transactions for citizens aged 70 years and above and persons with disabilities. The central bank proposed these norms in a discussion paper released on Thursday amid a rise in fraudulent activities targeting customers. It announced the discussion paper as part of its statement on developmental and regulatory policies during the February monetary policy meeting. National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) indicate that fraud related to digital payments is on the rise, with 28 lakh frauds reported in 2025, amounting to Rs 22,931 crore, higher than 24 lakh, totalling Rs 22,848 crore in 2024, 13.1 lakh worth Rs 7,465 crore in 2023, according to the discussion paper. In the lagged credit for authorised push payments, the central bank proposed a short delay at the payer's end for transactions above Rs 10,000.
