Don't even know where LIC's office is, says Rajesh Exports chief

With Rajesh Exports facing regulatory pressure and concerns about LIC's exposure to the beleaguered gold jewellery firm, Chairman Rajesh Mehta has distanced himself from the insurer's investment decisions, arguing that ordinary retail shareholders stand to gain regardless of how the situation plays out. "LIC has not purchased the shares yesterday or last year. LIC's purchases are over a period of time, approximately 20 years. These shares have been taken by LIC from the open market, from the stock market," Mehta told PTI in an interview. Currently, LIC holds a 10.80 per cent stake in Rajesh Exports. Mehta was categorical that neither he nor other promoters had any role in LIC's accumulation of the stock. "No promoter has ever sold his shares to LIC. The company has never made any placement to LIC. By the buying of shares by LIC, the company or the promoters have never benefited in any manner," he said. Mehta said the company had no relationship with or knowledge of LIC's investmen

RBI may pay highest-ever dividend to help Centre tackle West Asia crisis

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to pay the highest-ever dividend to the government, providing the Centre with a fiscal cushion to address challenges arising from the ongoing Middle East crisis, sources said. Last year the RBI made a record dividend payout of Rs 2.69 lakh crore to the central government for 2024-25, 27 per cent higher than Rs 2.11 lakh crore transferred in the previous year. RBI is likely to decide about dividend quantum in its board meeting expected to be held during this month, sources said. The transferable surplus for any financial year is arrived at on the basis of the revised Economic Capital Framework (ECF) as approved by the Central Board of the RBI. The revised framework stipulates that the risk provisioning under the Contingent Risk Buffer (CRB) be maintained within a range of 7.50 to 4.50 per cent of the RBI's balance sheet. As per the Budget documents, the Centre expects Rs 3.16 lakh crore in dividends and surpluses from the Reserve Bank of
