THE HOTTEST YEAR

THE JURY IS still out on whether climate change has reached a point of no re- turn. But the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) announcement that in 2024, the world's most populous country experienced its hottest year since 1901 should be sobering for policymakers across the world. Globally, too, there is enough evidence that the year gone by was the hottest on record - though the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) has not yet issued an official declaration. The IMD and WMO have warned that 2025 could be another hot year. By all accounts, India is on track to meet its global climate goals.

High credit card interest is not 'unfair trade practice', here's why

HIGH INTEREST rates on credit card loans cannot be challenged as an "unfair trade practice", the Supreme Court has ruled. The court last month set aside a July 2008 order by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC), which had capped the interest rate at 30% per annum. The court also ruled that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the only authority that can impose limits on interest rates. The petitioners in "Awaz" Punita Society & Ors v. Reserve Bank of India & Ors (2008), argued that banks were levying "usurious" rates of interest in the range of 36- 49% per annum for delays or defaults on credit card payments.
