THE Nagpur District Domestic Workers Union, an organisation affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) staged on June 13, 2014 a huge protest march and demonstration in front of the labour commissioner’s office in the city. The action was meant to register protest against the adverse policies of the state and central government on domestic workers.

IT has been reported that the State Bank of India (SBI) has signed up with the Reliance Money Infrastructure (RMIL), an Anil Arnbani group company, a 'business correspondent' deal to source a range of banking services. The deal authorises the RMIL to identify borrowers; collect, process, and submit loan applications; promote credit groups; and take up post-sanction monitoring, follow-up and recovery. As the service provider, the RMIL will also collect small-value deposits; sell micro-insurance, mutual fund and pension products; and receive and deliver small-value remittances.
