AG. GNS_New Delhi : With four Rajya Sabha TDP MPs joining the BJP Thursday, the saffron party will be looking to make a renewed push to ratify several contentious bills stuck in the upper House. The BJP-led National Democratic
Alliance (NDA) currently holds 106 seats (including the four TDP MPs)— 18 short of a majority in the 245-member House. Meanwhile, the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) has 66 seats. And parties not aligned with

RBI falls short of meeting Basel III requirements The Reserve Bank of India has fallen short of meeting tougher requirements set by the Basel III norms, according to a report by the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision (BCBS). The semi-annual report brought out by the BCBS, a committee under the Bank For International Settlements, looked at adoption status of Basel III standards by 30 global systemically important banks (G-Sibs) as of end-May 2019. This committee of banking supervisory authorities aims to enhance understanding of key supervisory issues and also improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide. The committee reports that India’s central bank is yet to publish the securitisation framework and rules on total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements. Globally, the norms on securitisation exposures held in the banking book had come into effect on 1 January, 2018. The RBI also missed the deadline for meeting the TLAC requirement, which ensures that G-Sibs have adequate loss absorbing and recapitalisation capacity so that critical functions can be continued without taxpayers’ funds or financial stability being put at risk. These include instruments that can be either written down or converted into equity, like capital instruments and long-term unsecured debt. The TLAC constitutes 16% to 20% of a group's consolidated risk-weighted assets. The RBI is also yet to come out with draft regulations on revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements, which took effect from end-2016. Pillar 3 disclosures aim at ensuring market discipline through disclosures in prescribed format, while Pillar1 focuses on capital adequacy and Pillar 2 looks at the supervisory review process. According to the report, India’s G-sibs are in the process of implementing rules on interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB). These regulations refer to the current or prospective risk to the bank’s capital and earnings arising from adverse movements in interest rates that affect the bank’s book positions. The central bank had issued draft guidelines in February 2017 and is yet to come - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara out with final guidelines. Editor

Disha Patani on Bharat: Feel unfortunate to not have shared screen space with Katrina Kaif in the film
Katrina Kaif opens up further on breakup with Ranbir Kapoor Mumbai : After her break-up with Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif has had quite a transformation. The actress, who is on a career high after the success of her recent film ‘Bharat’, spoke more in detail about her split from Kapoor a couple of years ago. In an interview with Mid-Day, Kaif said, “If I had my way, I would have never spoken about my relationship. I chose to talk about it because the media was interested in it. I couldn’t have dodged the bullet every time. I would have sounded rude if I did that. So, the best thing was to share the bare minimum I wanted to, and be frank

But what is interesting is that despite a series of hit films to her credit, Disha is in no hurry to sign films and wants to be careful with every project that she does. “I’m not the kind who will sign tonnes of projects at a time. I’m a bit of a slow worker and really enjoy my work. I feel that I should focus on one thing at a time and give it my hundred per cent. I take time to decide what to do,” informed Disha.From working with Sushant Singh Rajput to Tiger Shroff to Salman Khan, Disha has had the opportunity to work with amazing actors right after her debut film, but post Bharat, just like any newbie, Disha is in awe to have shared screen space with Salman Khan, as she says that Salman Khan is so hard working and humble that she has learnt a lot from him post Bharat. “He is so hard-working, humble, understanding and nice to everyone. It’s amazing to see how even after working for so many years, he is so charged, wanting to do things and so energetic.” But for all of you who have seen the film must have noticed that Disha and Katrina Kaif don’t have a scene together and this talented young actress feels unfortunate to have not got the opportunity to work with Katrina since they portrayed characters from different eras.But during the shoot of Bharat, in which Disha portrays the role of a trapeze artist, she got badly injured while trying out the stunts but she says that her injury hasn’t slowed her down one bit. “I’m still indulging in all the training and workouts. That’s because once you get injured, you have a fear in your mind. If you don’t overcome it, you will always be stuck and unable to do anything.

World Cup: Australia top table but need to tie up loose ends to challenge India, England for title
SPORTS ROUNDUP
Led by Kamran Akmal urges PM Imran David Khan to take action against Warner’s Pakistan cricket team terrific 166, the reigning champions defeated Bangladesh by 48 runs . NEW DELHI: What would someone not following the World Cup deduce from having one look at some of the key statistics of the tournament? Australia, the reigning champions, have more points and have the top run-scorer and the top wicket-taker to boot. On Thursday, David Warner also registered the highest individual score of the tournament. For starters, there are no question marks over the firepower they possess. The 48-run win over a pugnacious Bangladesh outfit proved that, much like India or England, a big hundred from one of their top-three batsmen along with ferocious boundary
hitting at the death boosts the chances of setting a match-winning score. With over 700 runs scored at Trent Bridge, it is up for debate what a matchwinning score is on a flat England wicket, but that is another conversation. Australia have moved closer to clinching a spot in the top-four and the pieces are slowly falling in place. Warner and Finch are in imperious touch. Steve Smith has effortlessly slotted himself into the middle-order since coming back into the team, and Glenn Maxwell has looked every bit the death-over behemoth with a piece of willow in his hand. Questioning Mitchell Starc,
