Retail inflation within the tolerance band
It is a matter of relief that after November, in the month of December, the retail inflation rate has remained below the tolerance band upper level of 6 per cent of RBI. RBI has fixed a tolerance band of 2 to 6 per cent inflation rate. But till October 2022, the retail inflation rate remained beyond the tolerance band of RBI.
In April, the retail inflation rate reached 7.79 per cent, after which, after five monetary policy meetings, the RBI has increased the repo rate to control inflation. The repo rate has increased from 4 percent to 6.25 per cent. Now there will be a meeting of RBI’s monetary policy in February 2023 and it is believed that after two consecutive months of fall in retail inflation, RBI should not make any change in its policy rates.

According to the reports, Westberg behaved unruly with the 24-year-old air hostess when she informed him that there was no seafood onboard. She then served him chicken meals and asked for his ATM card to make a payment through the POS machine.
On the pretext of swiping the card, the passenger held her hand. She said she pulled it back and asked him to enter the card PIN. When the air hostess protested, Westberg stood up from the seat and molested the Indigo staff in front of other passengers, reports state.
The air hostess then alerted the flight captain and warned the passenger of seat No. 28-E of the possible consequences of his behaviour, but to no avail. And when the flight landed, the IndiGo security staff and CISF were informed and later handed the accused to the Sahar Airport Police Station.
The air hostess then filed a police complaint against the passenger on arrival at the Mumbai airport. He was produced before the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate Court and was released on bail of Rs 20,000.
The accused’s lawyer argued that Westberg suffers from health issues and his body shivers. He cannot hold anything without help. He tried to hold the POS payment card machine when he touched the cabin crew. He did not touch her intentionally, he stated.
Sahar Airport Police Station is investigating the matter.
