Employment was on a rise, youngsters just out of college or some even while pursuing their education have gotten addicted to this irresistible power and freedom of spending where they no longer want to rely on the budgeted pocket money from their parents.

Like I said before today it's not difficult to ge...

The country’s largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), today said the proposed base rate mechanism to replace benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) will be beneficial for it. “It is good for us,” SBI Chairman OP Bhatt told Business Standard. According to the draft norms issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last week, the new benchmark will be based on the cost of deposits, overhead costs, adjustment for negative carrying cost on funds pre-empted by cash reserve ratio and statutory liquidity ratio and a profit margin. At the same time, RBI has proposed a ban on lending below BPLR from April 1. While banks will benefit by around one percentage from the adjustment for negative carrying cost on cash reserve ratio and statutory liquidity ratio, the ban on sub-BPLR loans is also expected to increase yield on advances. For banks such as SBI, sub-BPLR loans accounted for nearly three-fourths of all lending. With low credit demand, banks were offering short-term corporate loans at 6...
