Welcome to the Ujiyari Daily Current Affairs edition for August 6, 2026.

The Reserve Bank issued nine circulars building a single loan recovery and recovery-agent regime across every class of regulated entity, including the first Indian rules on remotely disabling a financed handset, and separately announced that on-tap licensing of urban cooperative banks will resume after a 22-year freeze. In the Rajya Sabha the Department of Space reported that the human-rated LVM3 and the crew escape and life support systems have cleared development testing, with the first uncrewed Gaganyaan flight carrying Vyommitra targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. Heatwaves and lightning were added to the list of notified calamities under the SDRF and NDRF, taking it from twelve to fourteen, on a recommendation of the Sixteenth Finance Commission. The Commerce Ministry operationalised an inventory-based route for e-commerce exports, ICAR announced an indigenous African Swine Fever vaccine built on a commercially available cell line, NITI Aayog released its caregiving roadmap, and Hiroshima observed the eighty-first anniversary of the atomic bombing.
