announce a positive policy lifted market sentiments.

0.85% to close at 46,666.46 and 13,682.70 respectively.

and 1,165 scrips declining. A total of 173 scrips remained unchanged.

requirements for companies in the Corporate Insolvency Resolution
Process and agreed to relax the minimum participation of the promoter in
the follow-on public offer.
• According to a Reserve Bank of India report, sound loans and poor capital
positions mean that Indian banks are unable to cut their interest rates in
line with the key policy rate of the central bank, reducing monetary policy
effectiveness. The paper also illustrates that concerns about the quality of
assets must be addressed and the capital positions of lenders strengthened
to ensure that policy actions have their maximum effect.
• As per media reports, the finance ministry has extended the deadline for
states to introduce the ‘citizen-centric’ reforms until Feb 15, 2021, in order
to take advantage of the additional borrowing cap given by the Centre in
May. On Dec 31, this year the earlier deadline dropped. As per the ministry,
it is possible that the extension of the completion date of the reforms will
also motivate other States to expeditiously complete the reform process
and take advantage of the associated financial benefits.
• According to the Minister of Labour, EPFO has resolved 52 lakh COVID-19

account.

advance the hybrid cloud and AI strategy of IBM.

by possibility of new fiscal stimulus deal in U.S. before previous benefits

provided additional support. Today (as on Dec 17), markets are trading
mixed with investors reacting to the latest policy announcements by the
