While many of the poor are burdened with debt, helping them financially is controversial because their debts are often believed to result from bad habits.

A new study by the Social Service Research Centre (SSR) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) demonstrates that reducing the number of debt accounts lowers the mental burden of the poor, thereby improving psychological and cognitive performance. This enables better decision-making. Hence, poverty interventions should be structured to improve psychological and cognitive functioning in addition to addressing the financial needs of the poor.

The study was jointly authored by researchers from NUS and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). A field study was conducted …

Debt
consolidation rolls high-interest debts into a single lower-interest
payment, such as credit card bills. It can reduce your total debt and
restructure it so that you pay it more quickly. If you have a
manageable debt amount and simply want to reorganize several bills
with various interest rates, payments and due dates are a sound
approach to debt consolidation that you can deal with yourself.

You
have credit cards, student loans and auto loans in depth. Minimum
monthly payments dont help you solve your debt. Something has to
change, and you are considering debt consolidation because the one
easy payment and lower interest rates they offer are promising.

people decide that they have had enou…

NEW DELHI: As Jet Airways battles acute financial woes, a senior government official Monday said a “good outcome” from the negotiations between the creditors and the company would be better than moving for proceedings under the insolvency law.

“I think creditors and the debtor are in discussion. That is the best process,” Corporate Affairs Secretary Injeti Srinivas said.

He was responding to a query on whether Jet Airways is a fit case to be referred under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

“If there is a good outcome from the negotiations between the creditors and the corporate debtor, then that is better than dragging into insolvency. But if that (insolvency) is only option left at that stage, then bankers will take a call,” …

New Delhi: The ministry of corporate affairs will soon notify regulations on last possible measures for revival of companies that have been ordered for liquidation through the insolvency process.

“Once the liquidation order is given, the liquidator has to explore Section 230 of the Companies Act first. We are working on the regulation on how this will be done and the process that will be followed,” a senior official aware of the developments said.

This follows a recent order by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, in which it directed the liquidator to exhaust options available under this section before proceeding to attempt to sell the company wholly or in parts.

Section 230 of the Act allows creditors to make arrangements wit…
