German lender Deutsche Bank will be focussing on the digital channel over the branch model to grow its business in the country, a top official said. Changes in rules by the RBI mandating geographical location restrictions while onboarding customers will be of help, Kaushik Shaparia, chief executive of Deutsche Bank Group, India, told PTI. "If the regulator were to permit digital access over and above the geographical restrictions, I am convinced we can do more. "Currently, there are restrictions as to where you can onboard clients, where your locations are, and the customer has to have an office near one of your locations etc," he said on the sidelines of a bank event here. When asked about the branch strategy in the country, Shaparia quipped that "geography is history", and added that the bank's aim will be to focus more on digital.

While the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) bars promoters of a corporate debtor from submitting a resolution plan under the CIRP, there is relaxation for MSMEs.

A two-member bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) ordered the liquidation of corporate debtor Overnite Express "with immediate effect" as a time frame of more than 330 days of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) has already elapsed. It also appointed Tarun Jain as liquidator of the corporate debtor to carry on the liquidation process as per the relevant provision of the IBC 2016. A resolution plan was submitted on behalf of a member of the suspended board of Overni
