By paying the other lenders, only the balance sheet of PNB will suffer in terms of losses while the other banks will not have to make provisions. The Reserve Bank of India has directed Punjab National Bank to pay the entire Rs 11,300 crore owed to counterparty banks in the alleged fraud involving jeweller Nirav Modi, said two bankers aware of the development. Not doing so could lead to turmoil in the financial markets as the trust factor that’s integral to the functioning of the banking industry will be lost, they said. PNB, which is short of funds, has in turn sought the intervention of the government to sort out the mess, they added. “RBI as made their stand very clear that PNB is liable to pay dues to peer banks,” said one of the bankers present at the meeting where the matter was discussed. “If PNB does not pay up, it will lead to double provisioning-- both PNB and 30 other banks will have provide for the huge loss.” By paying the other lenders, only the balance sheet of PNB wi

What the CVS-Aetna deal means for the future of health care When drug company chief executive Heather Bresch was hauled in front of Congress last year to defend the high price of lifesaving EpiPens, she drew skeptical lawmakers' attention to a large poster board that blamed the skyrocketing price tag on a coterie of drug supply chain middlemen. Of EpiPen's $608 list price, her company, Mylan, received only $274, Bresch said. "What the patient is paying is not . . . coming back to Mylan," Bresch said. "And when we were speaking earlier of the people, the middlemen in the system, that's either the pharmacy benefit managers, retailers, wholesalers, insurers." That supply chain — rarely seen by most consumers — is the center of attention in the corporate world after CVS Health announced a $69 billion deal to buy Aetna, the nation's third-largest insurer.

OPINION | Dear Congress, Either Join The Tea Party, Or Lose T-Shirt In Gujarat The BJP understands, as the Congress does not, that tea symbolizes all the fuzzy warmth of Indian culture. It is a great leveller — from the richest to the poorest, everyone drinks tea. Mahatma Gandhi famously took his tea with a pinch of salt. It was 1931, the Salt Satyagraha was a year old and his tea-serving host was the British Viceroy, Lord Irwin. Had the Indian National Congress recalled that little soupcon of history, it would not have put out a meme of a British Prime Minister ordering another Gujarati (PM Narendra Modi) to ‘go sell tea’. The Mahatma was no great votary of tea, but was a master of symbolism. Gently rubbing salt into the Imperial wound, he twinkled, “To remind us of the famous Boston Tea Party”. An exquisite reference to the genesis of American Independence, with the implicit promise of freedom for India. If only today’s Congress understood the power of symbols a tenth as well.
