Russian, Indian Banks Working on New Trade Mechanism
India’s UCO Bank and Yes Bank are in talks with several Russian lenders over a new payment mechanism.
The banks are trying to work out a currency pair for the payments, with the options being the Indian rupee paired with the Russian rouble or Saudi Arabia's riyal, a senior official told the Economic Times.
Earlier it was reported by Reuters that large Indian banks were avoiding direct transactions in rupees with Russia due to fear of being targeted by Western sanctions.

Indian government gives itself the power to “fact-check” and delete social media posts
Journalists, opposition parties, and advocacy groups are worried what this “absolute power” means for press freedom in India
The Indian government on April 6 announced a state-run fact-checking unit that will have sweeping powers to label any piece of information related to the government as “fake, false or misleading” and have it removed from social media. The country has tweaked its tech rules that now require platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to take down content flagged by the fact-checking body. Internet service providers are also expected to block URLs to such content. Failure to comply could result in the platforms losing safe harbor protection that safeguards them from legal action against any content posted by their users, said India’s minister of information technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
“The amended rules now also make it obligatory on the intermediaries to not to publish, share or host fake, false or misleading information in respect of any business of the Central Government. [This] fake, false or misleading information will [be] identified by the notified Fact Check Unit of the Central Government,” the government said in a press release.
