India's financial landscape has been revolutionized by UPI, the nation's digital payments centerpiece. Launched in 2016, it has become the world's largest real-time payment system by volume, processing billions of transactions monthly. UPI has significantly expanded financial inclusion, bringing millions into the digital economy and setting a global benchmark for inclusive financial innovation.

The SUV will be offered in three variants, with both six- and seven-seat configurations available. Three variants include entry-level Sharp 4x2, mid-spec Savvy 4x2 and range-topping Savvy 4x4. Once launched, the new Majestor will rival the Toyota Fortuner Legender and is expected to be priced from around Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom).

Design-wise, it features a large Matrix-style grille, flanked by Falcon-inspired daytime running lights and modern split headlamps at the front. The side profile highlights its premium stance with 19-inch alloy wheels, while the rear is marked by new connected LED tail-lights and a sculpted tailgate that carries ‘Morris Garages’ and ‘Majestor’ badging. Other highlights include faux twin exhaust tips, a skid plate, an integrated spoiler, a rear wiper with a washer and more.

India's digital censorship infrastructure is rapidly expanding, dismantling protections established by the Supreme Court. Platforms face immense pressure and compressed timelines for takedown requests, leading to default censorship. Citizens are denied notice, hearings, and reasons for blocked content, while regulatory agility outpaces legal recourse, threatening permanent censorship.

The move aims to protect users from tracking recurring outflows. The RBI is also developing advanced digital platforms for better risk management and customer service.

The Urban Cruiser Ebella is available in two battery pack options - 49kWh or a 61kWh battery pack.

Both motors produce identical 189Nm of torque.

Parliament's finance committee has raised alarms over digital payment sustainability, urging a viable revenue model for UPI's growth. It also highlighted structural gaps in formal lending, recommending a policy shift for Jan Dhan Yojana towards active usage. Cybersecurity weaknesses in banks and declining insurance penetration were also flagged, with calls for stricter penalties and zero tolerance for claim repudiations.

Lending is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by customer expectations for immediacy and personalization. Legacy systems struggle to keep pace, creating a massive credit gap for SMEs. Lending-as-a-Service (LaaS) emerges as a solution, offering a flexible, cloud-based ecosystem that enables rapid deployment, personalization, and scalability, ultimately improving customer satisfaction and reducing costs.
