PNB Housing: SEBI has restrained PNB Housing Finance from going ahead with shareholders' voting on the proposed Rs 4,000 crore-deal with Carlyle group and directed the company to carry out the valuation process as per the relevant legal provisions. The regulator said the resolution regarding the deal, which was to be put for shareholders' vote on June 22, was "ultra-vires" of the company's Articles of Association (AoA) and shall not be acted upon until the company undertakes the valuation of shares as prescribed under 19(2) of AOA, for purpose of preferential allotment, from an independent registered valuer as per the provisions of applicable laws. The company, promoted by PNB, said it had received the letter from Sebi on June 18, 2021, calling upon the company to comply with the legal provisions in the matter. Questions were raised that why the preferential offer at Rs 390 crore was made to Carlyle when the book value stands at Rs 540. The EGM will not be held tomorrow. 

Centrum Capital: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) clears Centrum Group and BharatPe’s bid to take over Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank. RBI has given in-principle approval to Centrum Financial Services Ltd (CFSL) to set up a small finance bank (SFB), which will take over the beleaguered Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank (PMC Bank). CFSL, and its partner BharatPe, a payments system company, will infuse Rs 1,800 crore into the small finance bank. Zee Business has earlier reported about the development.

BPCL and Other Oil PSUs: The commerce and industry ministry has floated a draft cabinet note seeking inter-ministerial views on a proposal to allow up to 100 per cent foreign investment under automatic route in oil and gas PSUs, which have an 'in-principle approval for disinvestment. At present, only 49 per cent of FDI is permitted through automatic route in petroleum refining by the public sector undertakings (PSU), without any disinvestment or dilution of domestic equity in the existing PSUs. This step will speed up the process of privatization of India's second-biggest oil refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL).
