BSNL Beats Reliance Jio, Offers 56GB Data At Rs 339

Many Indians are using free services that are provided by Reliance Jio from past six months including free voice calls, unlimited internet, and SMS. However, the free streak is going to end soon.

March 31 will be the last day to enjoy the free services. However, Jio users can join the prime membership and can enjoy the same offer at the price of Rs 303. Almost every other telecom operators in India are now offering unlimited data at similar price group.

Recently Airtel started offering 14GB of data along with unlimited Airtel to Airtel calls for 28 days at just Rs 145. Now, BSNL has finally taken the plunge into one of the fiercest battle going on in the telecom arena.

BSNL has introduced the Rs 339 plan without any particular membership. Well, the Rs 339 plan brings unlimited calls to BSNL network and users will get 2GB data every day for 28 days. The customers will also get 25 minutes of a free call to another network every day and after that users will be charged 25 paise per minute long phone call.

BSNL In a statement said “The benefits customer will get under the Combo STV (special tariff voucher) of Rs 339 are unlimited calls in BSNL network and unlimited data with fair use policy of 2 GB per day with validity of 28 days,”

However, one thing to note here is that the data BSNL is offering is 3G, not 4G. However, if we take a look at the speed provided by Reliance Jio, BSNL’s 3G pack might be the best choice for many because Reliance Jio’s 4G speeds are very slow.

BSNL Director for Consumer Mobility RK Mittal said “We are committed to providing affordable and efficient services to all segment of our loyal mobile customers. We offer best prices to our customers considering present trend of Indian telecom industry,”

Latest Rules On Provident Fund Withdrawal You Should Know: 10 Facts

According to provident fund norms, 12 per cent of an employee’s salary goes into the fund along with a matching contribution from the employer.

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has been taking many steps to ease the process of provident fund (PF) money withdrawal. The PF money can be withdrawn after two months from the cessation of employment. The application form can be filed with the PF authorities or through the employer. PF is meant for saving towards retirement years. Financial planners don’t advise withdrawal from the corpus before retirement. According to provident fund norms, 12 per cent of an employee’s salary goes into the fund along with a matching contribution from the employer. The EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation) every year announces interest rate to be paid on the accumulated provident fund corpus.

Here are 10 things to know:

1) To encourage long-term savings, the government has formulated tax laws accordingly. If the withdrawal from a recognised PF happens after five years of continuous employment, it attracts no tax liability. In case of employment with different employers, if the PF balance maintained with the old employer is transferred to the PF account of the new employer, it is considered a continuous employment.

2) If an employee has been terminated because of certain reasons beyond his or her control (such as ill health and discontinuation of business of employer), the withdrawal does not attract any tax, irrespective of the number of years of employment.

3) In case of a withdrawal before five years, the amount becomes taxable in the same financial year. Thus, the amount has to be shown in your tax return for the next assessment year. The employer’s contribution to PF and interest earned on it is added to one’s income and taxed accordingly.

4) In addition, if you have claimed benefits under Section 80C on your own PF contribution, it will be taxed as salary. The interest earned on your own contribution will be taxed as ‘income from other sources’ and taxed according to the respective tax slabs.

5) TDS (tax deducted at source) – If the withdrawal is after a period of five years of continuous employment, it attracts no TDS or any tax. What happens if the period of service is less than five years? If PAN has not been submitted to the EPFO authorities, TDS is deducted at 30 per cent. If PAN has been submitted along with Form 15G/15H, no TDS is deducted. If form 15G/15H is not submitted and PAN is submitted, TDS @ 10% is deducted. Form 15H or 15G is meant to prevent TDS for those whose income falls below the taxable limit.

6) The funds transferred from a recognised provident fund (PF) account to a National Pension System (NPS) account will not attract any tax, Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) said in a circular dated March 6. “The amount so transferred from recognised Provident Fund/Superannuation Fund to NPS is not treated as income of the current year and hence not taxable,” the pension fund regulator said.

7) The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has come out with a single-page form for provident fund related claims – from provident/pension fund withdrawal to the advance facility.

8) In addition, an Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation or EPFO subscribers can submit the new one-page form directly to the retirement fund body without the employer’s attestation if their accounts are seeded with Aadhaar and bank account details.

9) For subscribers who are yet to seed Aadhaar and bank details, a new composite claim form has been introduced which has to be submitted with attestation of employers for any claims.

10) Also, no other document would be required to be submitted by the subscriber for taking advances from the provident fund corpus. A provident fund subscriber can go for partial withdrawal/advance from his or her corpus for specific purposes like purchase of flat, construction, marriage/education of children etc.

Free Wi-Fi Provided to 5 Million Passengers at 115 Railway Stations in February: Prabhu

.

Free Wi-Fi services have been provided to 50 lakh passengers at 115 railway stations across the country and the railways propose to provide such facility in running trains too later, the Rajya Sabha was informed Friday.

Replying to a question during Question Hour, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said the execution of Wi-Fi facility at 400 railway stations has been entrusted to RailTel Corporation, a subsidiary of the Railways, without any fund allocation by the government.

“The number of passengers using the Wi-Fi services at all stations was approximately 50 lakh in the month of February at 115 stations so far provided with Wi-Fi service,” he said.

A total of 400 railway stations will be covered in the first batch and the criterion adopted to instal the service depended upon the volume at stations.

Prabhu said Wi-Fi facility, being a public service, was not just provided to railway passengers but also to all visiting the stations, including a large number of students.

“Of course, there is also a proposal to provide it in running trains,” he said responding to a query from a member, adding that the facility is available in some trains already.

“We will try to give it in most trains,” he said.

Prabhu claimed that the use of Wi-Fi at stations was being regulated by guidelines issued by Department of Telecom and no case of violation of these guidelines has been reported.

“All DoT guidelines are followed so that no website banned by DoT can be opened,” he said.

The Railway Minister also claimed that the facility as provided by Google was according to them “the biggest and fastest public Wi-Fi in the world”.

To another question on whether the stations in the east would be covered, he said, “Because the Sun rises in the East and we cannot ignore the East.”

In reply to a question on provision of solar powered panels on rooftops of trains, he said the Railways have provided solar panels on rooftops of 19 narrow gauge in Norther Railway and 4 broad gauge non air-conditioned coaches in service for use of electrical energy generated in train lighting system on a trial basis, which would save a total of Rs. 41,000 crores over a period of 10 years.

“Indian Railways have embarked upon a mission to save Rs. 41,000 crores over a period of 10 years through efficient energy management and power procurement,” he said.

H-1B visas: Here’s finally some ‘good news’

WASHINGTON: The US has assured India that the H-1B visas issue was not a priority for it and would be part of the larger immigration reforms package that the new Trump administration is working on.

The assurance came amid an ongoing debate in the US and reported moves by the Trump Administration to bring out an executive order to curtail the use of H-1B visas.

 “There was a sense that there is a recognition of the contribution of the Indian tech sector. Certainly this is not very much…not a priority of the government. They are concerned with the immigration issue…most of the issues are quite different,” visiting Commerce Secretary Rita Teotia told reporters at a news conference here.

“Nevertheless when it is addressed, it would be part of the overall immigration package,” Teotia said. Teotia, along with Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar, is currently in the US meeting top officials of the Trump administration and the Congressional leadership.

India has been trongly taking up the case of H-1B visas with the Trump administration.

During their meetings with the top administration officials, including Commerce Secretary William Ross, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and with the Congressional leadership, the visiting Indian officials conveyed that H-1B is a “category of trade and services” which actually helps American economy to be more competitive.

 “If the Trump Administration’s intention is to bring back American companies to America and attract more foreign investment in America and therefore have more growth in the near term, then it was important growing America remains competitive. So, there would actually be (a) growing need for this partnership,” Jaishankar said.

H-1B, he noted, was a trade and business issue and not an economic issue, even though in the US context it was seen as part of the immigration basket.

“What I would remind you that the President himself in his address to the Congress preferred a merit-based approach to the subject. We heard across the board a lot of respect expressed for Indian skills in the United States,” Jaishankar said.

“We have certainly made our point quite forcefully both in the Congress and the Administration. We believe it has been met with a degree of understanding,” he said in response to a question.

Reliance Jio, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea: The ‘Unlimited Data’ Offers

Soon after Reliance Jio entered the Indian market, incumbents such as Airtel, Vodafone and Idea launched their own unlimited calling offers. Now, it seems, is the turn of mobile data to take centre stage. The Mukesh Ambani-backed operator is providing data at never-seen-before prices with the new Jio Prime plan, and has forced the rivals to launch similar plans of their own. We take a look at the latest bundled data plans offered by Reliance Jio, Vodafone, Airtel and Idea Cellular to see which delivers the best value for money for the consumer.
Reliance Jio Prime subscription + Rs. 303 recharge pack

Reliance Jio is providing to Jio Prime customers 28GB of 4G data with the Rs. 303 prepaid recharge pack, which has 28-day validity; Jio Prime postpaid users get 30GB of high-speed data for the billing cycle at the same price. Under this plan, customers who subscribe to the Rs. 99 Jio Prime plan will be able to use 1GB of 4G data per day, and make unlimited free calls.

For those who find 1GB data insufficient, there’s the Rs. 499 Jio Prime recharge pack, which provides 56GB data to prepaid users, with daily cap of 2GB. Postpaid customers get 60GB of 4G data for the billing cycle, with the FUP set at 2GB per day.
Airtel Rs. 345 recharge pack

Airtel is providing the Rs. 345 recharge pack that provides prepaid users with 28GB of high-speed data for 28 days. While the daily FUP is set at 1GB, customers will be able to use only 500MB of data during the day, while the remaining 500MB allotted for the 12am to 6am period. Those who want to skip the restriction of timings can opt for the Rs. 549 recharge pack, which comes with 1GB daily FUP, but no limits based on timings.

The Rs. 345 and Rs. 549 recharge packs come with free calls, but with several caveats. Those who make calls beyond the 1,200 bundled minutes will be charged at 30p per minute (for local and STD calls). Moreover, Airtel has capped the free calls per day at 300 minutes, after which the charges will be 30p per minute. Additionally, calling more than 100 unique users in a week entails call tariff of 30p per minute for the rest of the validity.

For postpaid customers, Airtel will provide free data to customers starting March 13, as per an official communication. However, the company has not announced how much free data the users will get, or other conditions attached. The Airtel subscribers will need to open the MyAirtel app to see how much data they get free as part of the offer.
Vodafone Rs. 346 recharge pack

Vodafone has reportedly launched the Rs. 346 recharge pack that comes with 28GB of mobile data and unlimited free calls. Like rivals, Vodafone is also putting a cap of 1GB on free data consumption, after which the consumer will be charged. In an official statement, Vodafone said, “Vodafone customers are diverse as are their wants. To satisfy these diverse needs and wants, Vodafone offers various segmented propositions. This is one such segmented offering and the offer is valid only till 15 March.”
Idea Rs. 348 recharge pack

Idea is providing users with 500MB of high-speed data with the Rs. 348 recharge pack, along with unlimited free calls; this totals to 14GB of data per month. Users are required to have a 4G handset (but not a 4G-enabled SIM) to avail this new offer from Idea. Not available as an open market recharge pack, the pack is aimed at low-data consumers and is offered to users by Idea executives. You can also check if you are eligible for the offer using the My Idea app.

12 features you probably didn’t know exist on WhatsApp

WhatsApp’s core messaging function is pretty easy to use.

But there’s a lot more to the Facebook-owned messaging service — which surpassed 1 billion users in February 2016 — than most of its users possibly know.

We take you through some of its most useful but less well-known features, including how to get WhatsApp on your computer, how to switch phone numbers on your account, and its newest Snapchat-like feature “status.”

1. Stop photos and videos you receive in chats (WhatsApp media) from automatically downloading onto your phone and taking up precious space.

On an iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy >Photos > Tap to toggle off the WhatsApp button

2. Use WhatsApp on your computer just like you do on your phone with the web app “WhatsApp for Desktop.”

Click on this link to download WhatsApp for your computer and follow the install instructions.

In your phone’s WhatsApp app, go to Settings > WhatsApp Web/Desktop and scan the barcode on the desktop app.

3. Mute group conversations if they are very active and interruptive.

4. Reply directly to a message buried in a thread.

Your reply will send with the message you are responding to embedded above it — similar to a how “quote retweet” works on Twitter.

5. Share and send photos, videos, or GIFs broadly or with specific contacts on WhatsApp on its recently launched status update feature.

You might have to update your app to see this one, it only launched this week.

You can choose to send your “status” to all your WhatsApp contacts, contacts “except,” or select a specific list of contacts. Whoever you send it to, it will disappear after 24 hours. When you tap to add “My Status” for the first time, after you create your status (photo/video) it will give you the option to choose who you want to send it to via a pop up. Choose “Privacy Settings” in the pop up and from there select who you want to share it with.

6. Turn off your read receipts.

Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > switch off Read Receipts. If you switch off “last seen,” people will still be able to see when you’ve read their message (via the double blue tick), but they won’t be able to see when you were last online.

7. Switch numbers easily.

The WhatsApp service is linked to the first number you enter and verify. This “number” will then follow you onto your next phone, even if you have a new number. If you get a new number, you can change your WhatsApp number quite easily by going to Settings > Account > Change Number and following the steps from there.

8. Back up your WhatsApp chats and media.

If you’re switching phones and you don’t want to lose your chat history, make sure you back up your chats. Go to Settings > Chats > Chat backup Of course, you can set it to auto backup on a daily, weekly, or monthly.

9. Use Italics, bold, and strikethrough.

As per the screenshot, it’s a “*” either side for bold, “_” either side for italic, and a “~” for strikethrough (though we’re struggling to figure out what that’s useful for).

10. Make video calls.

11. Blast out a message to multiple contacts at once.

12. Stop all WhatsApp notifications from interrupting you by popping up on your screen.

WhatsApp accepts its new status feature is not a ‘hit’

NEW DELHI: Facebook-owned WhatsApp recently rolled out a big update to its ‘Status’ feature. The enhanced feature is quite similar to Snapchat’s stories. But it seems that the new Status has turned out to be a flop.

Numerous discontented users have posted their disappointed and criticized the company for copying Instagram and Snapchat’s features. Along with this, users also seem to be missing the old text-based status updates.

Keeping in mind the feedback received from users, it seems that WhatsApp is now working on bringing back the old status feature. This means that those users will be able to choose between old text-based status updates and the newer audio/video-based status updates.

According to WaBetaInfo (@wabetainfo), a Twitter account that tracks changes in WhatsApp’s beta builds, the ‘Info’ section in the app’s beta version will feature an extended menu. Tapping on it will lead the users to the old status menu, which is now renamed as ‘Info’.

It’s been further mentioned that the new changes appear under the ‘Profile’ section. Earlier, the status was called Tagline but now, it has been renamed as ‘Info’.

Apart from the old status coming back, WaBetaInfo also revealed that WhatsApp has renamed the ‘revoke’ feature as ‘unsend’. The option, which allows users to recall sent messages, is available under the three dot menu located on the top right corner of the app. Once users click on the ‘Unsend’ option, the app asks for a confirmation. When confirmed, the sent status changes to ‘This message was unsent’.

The new features are likely to be rolled out to all WhatsApp users soon.
