New Delhi, May 15

The Supreme Court on Friday issued notices to the Centre and the RBI on realtors’ body CREDAI’s petition on whether real estate firms are eligible for loan moratorium policy of the central bank.

A Bench headed by Justice LN Rao asked the Centre and the RBI to respond in two weeks clarifying if NBFCs were also eligible for loan moratorium under the RBI notification.

On behalf of the CREDAI, senior advocate Harish Salve said the RBI must clarify the position as it had implications for real estate companies.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said he would seek instructions from the Finance Ministry and the RBI and apprise the court.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
