Centre links part of state capex loans to new reforms in land, and digitization
New Delhi: The Centre has drawn up a new set of reform-linked conditions for states to access a portion of the ₹ 1.5 trillion interest-free capex loan for FY26, two people aware of the matter said, with a focus on digitization, governance, land reforms and urban planning. 'States will now be required to implement targeted reforms in key areas including digital public infrastructure (DPI) for agriculture, improvements in financial management systems, better urban planning, and streamlined land-related processes," said the first person mentioned above, speaking under the condition of anonymity. Of the ₹ 1.5 trillion earmarked for FY26, around 60% will be unconditional or linked to infrastructure spending, while the remaining 40% will be tied to reforms that states and Union Territories must undertake to access the funds, the person mentioned above added. Interest-free loans with a tenure of 50 years have played a vital role in stimulating capital spending by states and catalyzing the economy since the pandemic. As things stand, states account for 20–25% of India's total infrastructure spending, a critical priority for the government. 'This year's reform agenda puts a sharp focus on accelerating digital transformation in agriculture through federated farmer databases, digitized land records, and digital crop surveys,' the second person mentioned above said, requesting anonymity. Meanwhile, the central government has made Aadhaar-based Direct benefit transfer (DBT) integration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) mandatory across all state-run schemes. "Land and regulatory reforms remain a key thrust as states are expected to enable flexible mixed-use development, digitize land use change approvals, rationalize industrial road width norms, and amend building rules to minimize land loss. These are critical steps to boost manufacturing, agriculture, and ease of doing business," the second person mentioned above said. 'The goal is to ensure that capital investment is not just about creating assets, but about improving the way states govern and deliver,' the person added. Launched in FY21, the Centre's 50-year interest-free capex loan scheme has played a key role in driving state-led capital spending and reviving the post-pandemic economy. For FY26, ₹ 1.5 trillion has been earmarked to accelerate infrastructure development and support state-level projects. Of this, about 60% will be either unconditional or tied to infrastructure spending, while the remaining 40% will be linked to specific reforms. The conditions states had to meet in the past two years to avail of the central loans included reforms in the housing sector, providing incentives for scrapping old government vehicles and ambulances, reforms in urban planning and urban finance, increasing housing stock for police personnel, and setting up libraries with digital infrastructure at panchayat and ward levels for children and young adults. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman ramped up allocations to ₹ 1.5 trillion each for FY25 and FY26—up from ₹ 1.10 trillion in FY24. However, the FY25 outlay was later revised to ₹ 1.25 trillion due to slower-than-expected spending in the first half of the fiscal, which was largely due to elections. A spokesperson of the Ministry of Finance didn't respond to emailed queries.

Odisha removes HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank as authorised banks for govt businesses
Odisha government issued an official directive removing HDFC Bank , ICICI Bank , and Axis Bank from the list of empanelled banks authorised to handle the business and deposits of the State Government and its supported organisations. The letter reviewed by ET said that their action on banks is due to 'persisting poor performance' in some flagship government schemes over the last two financial years. The letter signed by the Principal Secretary to the Government, Saswata Mishra, stated the decision was also due to 'discouraging general banking parameters' by these three banks without elaborating it further. The letter also stated that if the performance of these three banks improves during the current financial year, the state government may consider including them in the list of empanelled banks. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank did not respond to requests for comments. Odisha's share of total deposits is Rs 5.64 lakh crore or 2.4% as on March 31, 2025. 'This will not impact the banks' performance given the small share of the state in total deposits although it may affect their reputation if it is not mended soon,' said an analyst. The state government also warned that other poorly performing banks could face a similar fate. 'Depending on performance (achievement in flagship government schemes and general banking performance parameters such as CDR, ACP achievement, etc.), poorly performing banks shall be removed from the empanelled list of banks and well-performing banks will be added to the empanelled list.' CDR stands for credit deposit ratio and ACP is an annual credit plan. The state government's letter dated June 21 stated that State Government departments, directorates, heads of departments, establishments, agencies, PSUs, societies, universities, and other affiliated organisations must immediately close their savings, current, and other running accounts with these three banks and transfer the balances to other empanelled banks. The letter stated that term deposits currently held in these banks should not be prematurely closed to avoid loss of interest. Upon maturity, these deposits must be transferred to other empanelled banks. Banks in Odisha state attracted term deposits of Rs 3.21 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, according to data published by the RBI. While this is lower than Kerala (Rs 3.48 lakh crore), it is higher than Andhra Pradesh (Rs 2.44 lakh crore).

Sebi slaps ₹29 lakh fine on IAGF, trustee for AIF rules violation
New Delhi, Jun 22 (PTI) Capital markets regulator Sebi has imposed penalties totalling ₹ 29 lakh on six entities, including India Asset Growth Fund, its manager Essel Finance Advisors and Managers, and trustee Vistra ITCL (India) for multiple violations of AIF rules. The regulator levied a fine of ₹ 11 lakh on IAGF, ₹ 10 lakh on Arpan Sarkar and Jaykishan Kikani (jointly and severally), ₹ 6 lakh on Vistra ITCL (India), and ₹ 2 lakh on Essel Finance Advisors and Managers (EFAM), its Chief Executive Officer Vishnu Prakash Rathore (jointly and severally). The regulator, in a 39-page order, found the entities guilty of serious lapses in regulatory compliance during the inspection period from April 2021 to March 2022, Sebi said in the order on Friday. The markets watchdog observed that India Asset Growth Fund (IAGF) failed to disclose disciplinary actions and litigation history of its sponsor, manager, trustee, and key officials in its placement memorandum (PPM), as mandated under the norms. Later, the fund submitted a revised PPM containing such disclosures during a change of control application, which was neither approved nor circulated to investors, resulting in a breach of the disclosure framework of the code of conduct of the alternative investment fund (AIF) regulations. Sebi also pulled up the fund for providing valuations based on underlying assets instead of the securities it held, as well as for delayed registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND), non-disclosure of the investor charter and distribution waterfall, and a 10-day delay in filing its PPM audit report. The regulator found that the fund took over a month to respond to an investor grievance, breaching the 30-day deadline. It noted that although the fund eventually completed the winding-up process and distributed proceeds to all investors by January 2024, the regulatory breaches were material. The regulator concluded that the violations had the potential to mislead investors, and disrupt regulatory oversight of AIFs. Sebi highlighted that EFAM being manager of IAGF is responsible for such non-compliances. It noted that Rathore, Sarkar and Kikani were the key managerial personnel who failed to abide by the code of conduct as per the rules. Therefore, the allegations against them stand established.
