My Computer Reboots When I tell It to Shut Down

Problem:-When you shut down your PC, something goes wrong and crashes the computer. By default, Windows reboots after crashing, producing the effect you describe. To my mind, that's stupid behavior, since it masks the actual problem. In a case like yours, when the crashes happen at shut-down, you don't even realize that Windows is crashing.

From January 2013 existing bank Cheque to become Trash

Come January your cheque books would become a useless piece of paper: Reason, the existing non-uniform standard of cheques would be taken over by standard uniform Cheque Truncation System (CTS-2010).As per the direction of the RBI all the banks operating in India including in J&K have been asked to disband the existing cheques and adopt the CTS-2010.  The non-CTS-2010 cheques would be phased out by December 31, 2012 and the new standard cheques would come into operation from January 1, 2013.
 The shift to the new standard, according to sources, would help reduce clearing-related frauds, remove logistics-related problems and curtail the physical movement of cheques.The new standard will speed up the process of cheque collection resulting in better service to customers. It will reduce the scope for clearing-related frauds or loss of instruments in transit, besides lowering the cost of collection and removing logistics-related problems

What is cheque truncation?

Cheque truncation system (CTS) was implemented by RBI at New Delhi Bankers Clearing House on a pilot basis. Chennai of late, too executed the same process.

Cheque truncation, according to National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) is the process in which the physical movement of cheque within a bank, between banks or among banks and the clearing house is curtailed or eliminated, being replaced in whole or in part, by electronic records of their content (with or without the images) for further processing and transmission.

AAdhar Card and Bank account must for subsidised Cylinder from next year onwards

Setting the stage for a major reform in the subsidy system in the country, a government-constituted task force has recommended transfer of cash directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries of subsidised LPG, kerosene and fertiliser to curb pilferage and leakage

The customers’ aadhaar enabled bank account  details will be used to transfer the subsidy. The customers will buy all cylinders at market price while the government will fix the subsidy per cylinder. 

The OMCs will sell LPG at the market price and the subsidy amount will be directly transferred from the government to the customers in the subsequent phases. The Task Force recommended direct transfer of subsidy through state governments or Union territory administrations and finally to the beneficiary in three different phases.

Fee for PassPort Hiked

Procuring passport will be costlier from October 1.

The Government has decided to increase the Passport and related services fees from Rs 1000 to Rs 1500 under the normal category and from Rs 2500 to Rs 3500 under Tatkal scheme, a statement by the Ministry of External Affairs Ministry said tonight.

The Passport and related services were last fixed on March 29, 2002.

For Indian citizens living abroad, the revised fee would be $75.00 (from $40.00) and Euro 60.00 (from 48.00) for normal applications.

The statement said the hike was necessitated by considerable increase in the last ten years in inputs costs relating to establishment, capital expenditure, procurement of equipment, reimbursement to police authorities, payment to India Posts, printing of passport booklets, personalisation costs, IT expenses and contractual payment to service providers.

The current regime of Passport fee came into force in July, 1993 subsequent to the passing of the Passport (Amendment) Bill, 1992 which permits the government to fix the Passport fee on the basis of actual cost incurred on issuing of a Passport.

The union cabinet today hiked dearness allowance by 7 per cent to all central government employees

The union cabinet on Monday hiked dearness allowance by 7 per cent to 72 per cent of the basic pay for all central government employees.

The move will benefit about 50 lakh serving employees and 30 lakh pensioners. It will also mean an additional burden of about Rs. 7,400 crore a year on the exchequer, Rs. 5000 crore for the effective eight-month period in this financial year.

The new DA was cleared at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) this evening.

The hike will be effective from July 1, 2012, and employees will get arrears from that date. The dearness allowance was last hiked from 58 per cent to 65 per cent of the basic pay March this year.

The government periodically hikes the DA, which is linked to the consumer price index for industrial workers. The consumer price index, or CPI, which is based on movement in retail prices, soared to 10.03 per cent in August, from 9.86 per cent in July.
