United We Stand !!

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam I am returning to this column after a long while, in circumstances that are far from pleasant. Today, the Islamic world is a sad picture of disarray, anarchy and violence–internal as well as with others. From Afghanistan to Iraq, Saudi Arabia to Syria and Somalia, Turkey to Yemen, it is a story of violence all the way. Everywhere, both sites of the conflict are Muslim and the victims are almost always innocent non-combatants, quite often women, children and the old. People have been forced to flee their homes, crossing borders in desperation with little food and water and insufficient clothing in severely cold climates. Till they get recognised as refugees in their new land they have to sleep in the open icy climes. The refugees flooding Christian Europe are Muslims. Another, and possibly the most significant haven for these refugees, is Turkey, a preponderantly Muslim country. All the victims and perpetrators are Muslims. The shared values of Islam...

Lighten the people’s burden

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam At the outset, it must be asserted that monetary and financial policies are made for the people, and people are not made for such policies. This basic principle seems to have been stood on its head in the present conundrum of ill-considered and ill-advised demonitisation of Rs. 1,000 and Rs 500 currency notes. A hundred people have died, their deaths directly attributed to this sudden denial of access to their hard-earned money. For most Indians it has been like a bolt from the blue. The wholesale markets are virtually closed as most of the transactions are made in cash, which is scarce. In turn, it has led to the termination of hundreds of thousands of daily wage earners’ jobs. The same holds good for huge armies of workers at construction sites where the workers are paid in cash on a daily basis. Markets across different trades have come to a standstill. People suddenly are forced to deposit their hard-earned life savings in banks under the orde...

RBI imposes restrictions on withdrawal from certain bank accounts

Source :  http://www.deccanherald.com/content/586791/rbi-imposes-restrictions-withdrawal-certain.html Tightening the noose around people who misused banking channels to park unaccounted money, the Reserve Bank today imposed certain restrictions on withdrawal if more than Rs 2 lakh has been deposited after November 9 in an account which has a balance of over Rs 5 lakh. As per a RBI notification, withdrawal or transfer of funds will not be permitted in accounts without quoting of PAN or submission of Form 60 (persons who do not have PAN). The Reserve Bank also said monthly withdrawal limit of Rs 10,000 will be maintained even if a 'small account' has witnessed increase in annual permissible deposit of Rs 1 lakh. The notification follows after it was brought to the notice of the RBI that "strict compliance" with KYC (Know Your Customer) provisions is not being ensured in some cases. In respect of KYC compliant accounts where the required Customer Due Diligence (CD...

So what is Demonetisation really all about?

So what is  # Demonetisation  really all about? # We were told it’s to stop terror attacks. But now the attacks have increased. # Then we were told it will cut supply of Indian notes across the border. But terrorists had new notes before most of us did  :) # Then we were told it’s actually about wiping out  # BlackMoney . But even Banks’ own estimates say that very little has come in. # Then we're told it’s to take #BlackMoney out of politics. But 1st person caught with unaccounted cash in new notes was… a BJP guy # Further  when a blogger said the car of MP’s Chief Minister, a @BJP4India man, was stopped with 30 crores cash, he was arrested. # We’re told #Demonetisation hurts criminals & not common man. But no tax criminals have died but 70 common folks have, waiting in line. # We must tolerate for patriotism. But govt ensures political parties above law & can have unaccounted cash. BJP declares 505 cr in 2016 # We’re told operation i...

12 Things You Should Know About Real Estate

http://lightersideofrealestate.com/education/things-you-should-know-about-real-estate?utm_campaign=sniply&utm_medium=sniply&utm_source=sniply 1. A home is worth what a buyer is willing to pay. You may think all the time and effort you have put into your home before listing it, even what you paid for it previously, makes it worth a certain price. Even an appraiser may come in before you list and say it’s worth close to a price you like. But at the end of the day, it is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. They may think your upgrades don’t match up with the asking price. It may be that the home does need renovations and the asking price is too much to justify buying it and immediately pouring more money into it. A buyer would rather purchase a home at $125k, put $25k into it, and have it be worth $180k instead of buying a home at $180k that needs the same work of the $125k home. 2. Upgrades may not increase the value, but they’ll increase the chances of get...
