May 1 onwards, petrol and diesel prices will be revised on a daily basis, beginning with five select cities, in sync with international rates, much like what happens in most advanced markets.  State-owned fuel retailers Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), which own over 95 percent of nearly 58,000 petrol pumps in the country, will launch a pilot for daily price revision in five select cities from May 1 and gradually extend it to all over the country.   "Ultimately, we will be driving towards market linked rates on a daily basis at all pumps across the country," IOC Chairman B Ashok told PTI.  A pilot for daily revision of petrol and diesel price will be first implemented in Puducherry, Vizag in Andhra Pradesh, Udaipur in Rajasthan, Jamshedpur in Jharkhand and Chandigarh, he said. At present, state fuel retailers revise fuel rates on 1st and 16th of every month based on average international price of the fuel in the preceding fortnig

Accounts opened from July 2014 to August 2015 will have to submit know your customer (KYC) details and their Aadhaar number to banks and financial institutions by April 30 and self-certify them to comply with FATCA regulations (Foreign Tax Compliance Act), the tax department said on Tuesday.

Once the details are furnished they can operate the accounts. The provision applies to accounts which come under the ambit of FATCA regulations. Banks and financial institutions were asked to obtain self-certification and carry out due diligence for all individual and entity accounts opened from July 1, 2014, to August 31, 2015, to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) pact signed by India and the United States.

According to recent reports, Nokia is partnering with Airtel and BSNL to bring 5G internet to India. As reported by the   Economic Times , the Finnish mobile giant has signed a memoranda of understanding with both India and BSNL. During the Mobile World Congress 2017 (MWC) Nokia had stated it would attempt to expand its collaborative partnerships to work on 5G technology and connected devices. The MoUs inked involved introducing 5G services in India, as well as what infrastructure and development would be required to set it up, aside from identifying a target segment, Nokia spokespersons said. However, this would only be the jump off point for Nokia, as the 5G is expected to commercially roll out only between 2019 to 2020. "After 4G, the future is 5G and IoT, which is useful in concepts such as smart cities,” BSNL Chairman Anupam Shrivastava told PTI. “The MoU will help BSNL to draw a framework for transition from the current network to a futuristic 5G network."

Now that its ‘Summer Surprise’ offer has been discontinued, Reliance Jio has set out to attract users with the promise of new offers soon. The company posted an announcement on its website, saying it will soon be making available new tariff packs and special offers. However, the company is keeping customers in suspense, refusing to divulge any further details before launch day. The announcement comes shortly after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) last week ordered Reliance Jio to   withdraw its 'Summer Surprise' offer . TRAI said the reason for the order was that the offer did not fit into the existing “regulatory framework” for telecom services. To recap, the ‘Summer Surprise’ offer would provide Jio Prime customers with an additional three months of free smartphone data usage, or at least those who purchased a minimum recharge of Rs 303. To clarify, users who purchased the ‘Summer Surprise’-applicable recharges will still receive the benefits promi

  If you have ever made a castle with playing cards and seen it fall apart gradually with one jolt, then the present situation of The Kapil Sharma Show will surely remind you of the same. The team (whichever few members are left) shot for its latest episode last night. The guests scheduled for the show were- Sonakshi Sinha and Amaal Malik. However, at the last moment Amaal Malik said he can’t make it to the shoot for reasons best known to him, which left Sonakshi as the only guest on the show.

If he is shooting for Kapil’s show, then the only time he assigns is from 10:30 pm till 4
