The RBI, in consultation with lenders, is expected to update its Fair Practices Code within months, introducing guidelines on phone-locking mechanisms, may come to their immediate rescue. Commercial banks tend to grant more small loans than big-ticket loans keeping in view the risk factors.This may prove to be a unique ‘handle’ to make various ‘errant’ borrowers quickly fall in line.SK GuptaNew DelhiDealing with TrumpThis refers to the news report ‘India in active dialogue with US for free trade pact: Goyal’ (September 11). Despite the ongoing trade talks with EU and New Zealand and the stalled talks with the US, it would be too optimistic when dealing with Trump, whose flip-flops continue. In fact, his extant ‘topsy-turvy’ approach makes him more prone to taking sudden ‘U-turns’. But he also happens to be the world’s most ‘media savvy’ leader. This is amply demonstrated by his active presence in social media.A GuptaNew DelhiGST’s green pushApropos ‘GST push for renewable energy’ (September 11). Indeed reducing GST for renewable energy projects from 12 per cent to 5 per cent is a game changer in reducing the cost for renewable energy projects and a catalyst to achieve the net zero targets.Moreover the import dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil could be reduced by augmented renewable energy generation and will save considerable forex.Bringing petrol and diesel under the GST umbrella will benefit people as prices will fall.Further the generation of green hydrogen and green ammonia will get a boost from the GST cut.NR NagarajanSivakasiPublished on September 11, 2025Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
