Swiss court allows Credit Suisse to hand client data to U.S

(Reuters) - Switzerland's top court has ruled that the government can transfer the bank records of an American client of Credit Suisse  to the U.S. tax authorities, giving a boost to the country's efforts to end U.S. investigations of Swiss banks.

Credit Suisse is among more than a dozen banks under formal U.S. investigation, including Julius Baer (, the Swiss arm of Britain's HSBC (, privately held Pictet and state-backed regional banks Zuercher and Basler .

Last month, a Swiss court ordered an injunction halting the transfer of a former Credit Suisse employee's data to U.S. tax authorities.

President signs food security ordinance

President Pranab Mukherjee Friday promulgated the national food security ordinance, which aims to provide subsidised food grain to around 67 percent of India's 1.2 billion people.

The measure is expected to be a game-changer for the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, coming ahead of the polls to five state assemblies this year-end, and the general elections of 2014.

The food security bill, one of the big-ticket welfare initiatives of the UPA and a pet project of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, is expected to provide subsidised food grains to around 800 million people.

A penalty will be imposed on public servants or authority, if found guilty of failing to comply with the relief recommended by the District Grievance Redressal Officer.

The measure will guarantee 5 kg of rice, wheat and coarse cereals per month per person at a fixed price of Rs. 3, 2, 1, respectively

However, about 2.43 crore poorest of the poor families covered under the Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) scheme under PDS (Public Distribution System) would continue to get 35 kg of foodgrains per family per month but with legal entitlement.

The Food Security programme will be the biggest in the world with the government spending estimated at Rs. 1,25,000 crore annually on supply of about 62 million tonnes of rice, wheat and coarse cereals to 67 per cent of the population.
