Layman's Language 10 commandments



 Like the Ten Commandments, follow in life all the time.

1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in  trouble,   but it is a "steering wheel"  that directs the right path throughout.

2. So a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small?   Because, our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and  Move on. Concentrate and  focus ahead always.

3.  Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write

4.  All things in life are temporary.  If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever.    If it’s going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

5.  Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond,  don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!

6.  Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says,  "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!" 

7.  When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities;  when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8. A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"   He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"
 
9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10. WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.

Difference between NRE and NRO Accounts



The Government of India has permitted NRIs to open rupee accounts in India in order to repatriate funds from their home countries. The two most common accounts are the NRE and NRO accounts. Let’s take a closer look at them.
What’s an NRE account?
A Non-Resident External (NRE) account is a bank account that’s opened by depositing foreign currency at the time of opening a bank account. This currency can be tendered in the form of traveler’s checks or notes.
What’s an NRO account?
A Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) account is the normal bank account opened by an Indian going abroad with the intention of becoming an NRI. An NRI can also open this account by sending remittances from his home country or by transferring funds from his other NRO account. It offers the same facilities as an NRE account, except that any repatriation done through this account should be reported to RBI by filling up prescribed forms.
How do NRE and NRO accounts differ?
Funds remitted from overseas sources or local funds that would otherwise have been sent to the accountholder abroad can instead be transferred to NRE Accounts. On the other hand, local funds that aren’t eligible to be remitted abroad must be credited to an NRO account.
Can you transfer funds from an NRE to anNROaccount and vice versa?
It’s easy to transfer funds fromanNREto an NRO account. But it’s not possible to transfer funds from an NRO account to an NRE account. Once you transfer funds fromanNREtoanNRO account, the amount is non-repatriable. Consequently, you cannot transfer it back.
What’s the difference in the tax treatment for interest earned on an NRE and an NRO account?
The interest earned on any type of NRO bank as well as the credit balances in this kind of account are taxed under the account holder’s tax bracket. On the other hand, interest earned on the NRE account is totally exempted from income tax, and the credit balances in the account don’t attract any wealth tax. Any gift given to a close relative doesn’t attract gift tax.

Leading email providers join hands to fight spam, phishing


World’s leading email providers including Google, Yahoo, AOL, Facebook and Microsoft have announced to join hands to collectively fight the increasing menace of email and phishing attacks.
Following 18 months of collaborative work, 15 email providers on Monday announced formation of DMARC.org (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) a technical working group to develop standards for reducing the threat of deceptive emails, such as spam and phishing.
Among other things, it will outline an enhanced vision for email authentication that can scale up to today’s Internet needs.
The group’s work includes a draft specification that helps create a feedback loop between legitimate email senders and receivers to make impersonation more difficult for phishers trying to send fraudulent email.

“Email phishing defrauds millions of people and companies every year, resulting in a loss of consumer confidence in email and the Internet as a whole,” said Brett McDowell, chair of DMARC.org and Senior Manager of Customer Security Initiatives at PayPal.
“Industry cooperation -- combined with technology and consumer education -- is crucial to fight phishing,” McDowell said.
The DMARC specification addresses concerns that have traditionally hindered widespread deployment of an authenticated, trusted email ecosystem, the statement said.
“Today, email receivers lack a reliable way to know the extent to which an email sender uses standards like SPF and DKIM for authenticating their messages,” it said adding that as a result, providers must rely on complex and imperfect measurements to separate legitimate unauthenticated messages sent by the domain owner from fraudulent phishing messages sent by a scammer.
By introducing a standards-based framework, DMARC has defined a more comprehensive and integrated way for email senders to introduce email authentication technologies into their infrastructure, it said.
For example, a sender could set policies to easily request a provider to discard unauthenticated email in order to block phishing attacks.
The specification also creates a mechanism for email providers to send detailed reports back to email senders to help catch any gaps in the authentication system.
This feedback loop raises the trust level within the email ecosystem and makes it easier to detect and stop phishing attempts, it said.
“BITS has been committed to defining and improving email authentication standards and practices to meet the financial services industry’s needs.
“DMARC’s evolutionary approach is critical in assuring these needs are met for years to come,” said Paul Smocer, president of BITS, the technology policy division of The Financial Services Roundtable.
After gathering data and input from field usage of the technology, DMARC.org intends to submit its DMARC specification to the IETF for standardisation.

Postal Department applies to RBI for banking licence

Minister for Communications and IT, Mr. Kapil Sibal with MoS, Mr. Sachin Pilot, at the FICCI round table on National Postal policy 2012 , in the capital on Wednesday.

The Postal Department has applied to the Reserve Bank of India for a banking licence, the Communications Minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, said here on Wednesday.
Mr Sibal said he had written to the Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, to expedite the granting of licence.
Speaking on the sidelines of the postal policy round table organised by FICCI, Mr Sibal said, “A national postal policy targeting expansion and modernisation of the postal network would be announced during this year. The Government does not intend to issue licences to courier service companies, but would make it mandatory for them to register.”

Aimed at modernising postal services, the policy is expected to make the department adopt a more financially viable revenue model. It would also provide affordable services at all points in the country as part of its Universal Service Obligation, the Minister said.
The Department is also expecting large-scale private sector participation in providing value added services and extending its product range beyond the current core functions.
“There are tremendous opportunities for the private corporate sector to use its ingenuity to create innovative products and delivery mechanisms through the Indian postal network,” Mr Sibal said.
India currently has 1.55 lakh post offices, 95 per cent of which are located in rural areas.
