@EUROPOLpayment banks earn mostly from data monetisation, selling financial products , payment of utilities n bill etc,, through their platform.. they also get some interest on investing in govt securities.. the major difference between sfb n commercial bank is that sfbs are targetting 75% of loans to priority sectors..sfbs have to pay minimum capital of 100crores no such limitation for commercial banks..there are more structural  differences between sfb n commercial banks..unable to recall though..

19 March 2021 The Hindu article: Equities fall as U.S. bond yields rise on Fed stance

In this article, the Fed stance is mentioned as Dovish. I think the headline is contradictory and I am unable to understand it completely. Kindly help.

In Dovish policy, the interest rate will decrease to boost growth and inflation is not an issue. If U.S. bond yields are rising that means that bond price is low and this will happen if the demand for the bond is low. And if the demand is low then investors must be investing somewhere else like equities then why are equities falling??

@Curious_souls thanks I made note on this topic...

@EUROPOL Indian equity markets fell because of the rise in bond yields in US as it would it to an outflow from India. Investing in US treasuries is one of the safest bets and if such bond yields are rising then they become an even more attractive proposition. As a result, many global investors pull out money from emerging economies.

@Bepop So, before scenario: low demand for bonds ->low bond price (in US ofcourse) and thus bond yield started to rise...now investors have sensed this opportunity and taking out money from emerging economies and investing in US treasury bonds....right?

@EUROPOL Basically there are two parts to this, in US because of fed dovish stance, equities and general market sentiment there is there would be rise in economic growth, so demand of treasuries fall, leading to hike in bond yields. It additionally globally causes an outflow from emerging markets to safer bet US.

@Bepop So in US both equities and bonds will gain. Equities will gain from the investors who will pool out from elsewhere including bonds to equities because they think that dovish stance will lead to economic growth and bonds will gain from investors who have invested in other countries so as to secure their assets...

A few doubts regarding emergency provisions in the constitution.

1. Regarding article 360, Financial emergency- Can the president declare a financial emergency in a part of India? Or does it has to be declared in the country as a whole?


2. Regarding article 359 (3), suspension of the right to move to court for the enforcement of fundament rights- It says that the presidential order should be laid before each house of parliament.

But laxmikanth mentions that - it should be laid before each house of parliamentfor approval.

Doubt- the constitution just mentions that it should be laid before the houses. I think that means just like the reports of various constitutional bodies that are laid before each house and discussion takes place on them. However, laxmikanth interprets it that it has to be laid before each house and be voted upon to get approval. Which is not mentioned in the constitution.

So which interpretation is right?

Short answer:

1. He may declare it for a part of India as well, theoretically. 

2. Your interpretation is correct. 

PM for long answer if you need it?
