Also, a message emerged from British Prime Minister David Cameron's advice to the European Union (EU) that instead of being a threat, the emerging economies like India can be of great help to Europe. Concluding a Free Trade Agreement(FTA) with India by the year-end would be in Europe's interest, he said. "We need to have a check-list to tackle the euro crisis... There has to be FTAs, bilateral trade agreements and EU trade agreements with countries like India and Singapore , among others by the end of the year," he said.

MUMBAI: Home loans and other loans to individuals and businesses are set to become cheaper with Reserve Bank of India releasing Rs 32,000 crore to banks through a half percentage point cut in the cash reserve ratio (CRR) on Tuesday, a step which is also aimed at driving growth.

The CRR, which is the level of deposits that banks have to mandatorily maintain with RBI, was reduced to 5.5% from 6%. This marks RBI's first reduction in CRR since January 2009 when it had released funds to stimulate demand in the wake of the Lehman Brothers crisis. Bankers that TOI spoke to said that interest rates are headed down and it was a matter of time before lending rates also dip. Pratip Chaudhuri, chairman of the country's largest lender State Bank of India said that interest rates will come down on loans to certain sectors where there is good growth and low delinquencies. However, banks might be circumspect about reducing deposit rates since there are many tax-free schemes offering returns ranging from 8.3% to 8.5%.

MUMBAI: Vodafone's victory over India's tax authorities may have a sting in the tail. The UK phone giant's $2.2 billion Supreme Court win is a boost to India's battered reputation. It also bodes well for firms such as AT& , which are threatened with similar tax bills. But if the government now changes the law, future offshore M&A deals may not escape so easily.

The verdict is clearly great news for Vodafone, which had set aside $5 billion in case the ruling went against it and it had to pay penalties on top of its tax bill. It also looks promising for other firms which have been threatened with similar cases. These includes the likes of SABMiller , which has a pending case related to its 2006 purchase of the Indian division of Fosters, and multinationals including AT&T, E*Trade and Kraft.
