Aamir Khan REACTS on the Bengaluru molestation issue and calls it shameful

He adds that criminals believe nothing is going to happen because of weak laws regarding the same

Latest News : In the wake of the Bengaluru mass molestation incident, Hindi film actor Aamir Khan on Tuesday called on the law and order mechanism to act swiftly so that fear is created in the minds of the people and they think twice before committing such crimes.

"The incident that took place in Bengaluru was very disappointing. We feel ashamed that such incidents take place in our country. I think it's the responsibility of everyone along with the administration to see that law and order prevails," said Aamir in Mumbai.

"The law and order mechanism and the judiciary and police should bring the culprit to the task at the earliest as it happens in other countries. For example, when such an incident takes place in America, the guilty are not only arrested but they are given punishments as well within two or three months. I think when such a change will take place, things will automatically change," he added.

The 51-year-old actor, who has been very vocal regarding social issues and women safety, asserted that in the present times, people who indulge in eve-teasing and such crime, believe that nothing is going to happen because of weak laws regarding the same.

"I think when such examples come to fore that a guilty of such case is given punishments within two-three months, only then the situation will change and people will fear before committing such crimes," he said. (Read full article)

Hamara Ghar offer: SBI's new home loan

Its aim is to pass on the benefit of reduction in cost of funds and give a push to credit demand

In an effort to push home loans, State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday floated a scheme offering fixed rate for the first two years at 8.5% for women and 8.55% for men.

The country’s largest lender reduced the floating interest rate from 9.15% to 8.6% for home loans up to Rs 75 lakh and to 8.65% for a higher amount.

A teaser loan is one where the lender offers a slightly lower rate in the initial years and then charges higher rates in later years.

In SBI's new loan offer Hamara Ghar, once the fixed term of two years ends, the interest rate on the Home loan will be linked to the prevailing one-year marginal cost of funds based lending rate (MCLR). The spread on the home loan at that time will remain the same as the current interest spread over the MCLR, which is 50 basis points.

Such teaser loan schemes have run into controversy inviting the regulator's ire in the past.

However, SBI Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya defended the scheme saying it was not a teaser loan, as the bank does not dilute the assessment norms, including repayment capacity while giving the loan.

Its aim is to pass on the benefit of reduction in cost of funds and give a push to credit demand. The bank has factored in possible queries from the regulator while firming up the scheme, she said.

n 2008, SBI, under O P Bhatt as chairman, had floated a teaser home loan scheme, which was withdrawn in May 2011 after missives from the Reserve Bank of India. Under this scheme, SBI was offering lower interest rates of 8-8.5% for the first three years.

The scheme was launched to spur demand and avert any adverse effect of global financial crisis of 2008 on Indian economy and credit demand.
