West Bengal remains top in small savings collection
NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress-ruled West Bengal, all through the downturn and even otherwise, has been making the highest annual contribution to the Centre through the small savings schemes to fund many of its welfare and infrastructure projects. In the last three-and-a-half years, West Bengal has contributed over Rs 1 lakh crore.
West Bengal's contribution through small savings, collected by the network of post offices, was more than Rs 33,000 crore in 2010-11, though it came down in the last two years. Nevertheless, it remained above Rs 24,000 crore a year, more than any other state.
Small savings schemes are majorly used to fund the Centre's social sector schemes and other welfare activities. The money collected through these schemes have long repayment schedules and helps the government use them as long-term funding options for many of its big-ticket infrastructure projects. About 50% of the net collections under these schemes are provided to states as soft-term loans for building roads, hospitals and other community assets.
Finance minister P Chidambaram's confidence of a high savings rate of 31.3% in 2011-12 and 30% in 2012-13 has been a result of the consistent high contributions of some of states in small savings schemes. India's impressive investment rate of 35% is also dependent largely on how its saving rates are.
After West Bengal, UP leads the pack among highest contributors. In the last over three-year period, the state's small savings have contributed Rs 89,000 crore, followed by Maharashtra and Gujarat. The Narendra Modi-led Gujarat has been at No.4 position in terms of small saving contributions which is in the range of Rs 15,000-Rs 19,000 crore annually.
Gujarat's lower contributions than UP and Bengal could also be for the reason that the state is one of the major investors in security market and other corporate saving schemes available. In states like West Bengal, Bihar and UP, small investors prefer savings in post office schemes which have assured return and are considered secured investment as these funds are invested in government securities.
Bihar is also among one of the highest contributors in small savings with annual contributions of more than Rs 10,000 crore, better than Delhi and Punjab. Contributions from Tamil Nadu is in the range of Rs 10,000 crore and Rs 13,400 crore; and that of RajasthanBSE 1.80 % has been in the range of Rs 9,600 crore and Rs 11,000 crore. Punjab's contributions have been in the range of Rs 10,000 crore.

RBI extends deadline of exchanging notes printed before 2005
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India extended the deadline of exchanging soiled currency printed before 2005 to January 1, 2015, from July this year.
"It has also advised banks to facilitate the exchange of these notes for full value and without causing any inconvenience whatsoever to the public," the central bank said in a release.
These notes will be accepted by banks without strings till January. Earlier, the RBI had said exchange of 10 such notes or more beyond July would need identity proof. The pullout of these notes is to reduce instances of counterfeiting and not a measure to bring out unaccounted or black money before the upcoming general elections.
The central bank since 2005 has introduced notes with more security features. "The decision to withdraw pre-2005 currency notes after March 31 is not guided by politics and elections,"' Governor Raghuram Rajan has said. "It was a long-standing demand of the finance ministry. There are security factors attached with the decision."
He drew a distinction between the move and demonetising. "This is not an attempt to demonetise," he said. "It's an attempt to replace less effective notes with more effective notes. I understand people are making different interpretations. ...that should not be the interpretation."

Rising online fraud pushes banks to seek insurance cover
MUMBAI: Indian banks are increasingly seeking insurance cover against fraudulent online transactions, including those involving credit cards, as a rising use of plastic money and the ease of Internet business potentially increase lenders' exposure to cases of data breach.

Your cell phone can give you cancer
Mobile is an inseparable part of our life. We are completely dependent on our mobile phones and everyone has it, even school children.
We are pretty sure that most of us are Nomophobiacs at least till some extent. You may have read reports that this tiny, super functional gadget can be life threatening, but is it the truth? There are reports that radiation can even turn your brain into an omelette. We did a little research and got you some factual answers.
Radiation from your mobile?
Yes! Radiation is present from mobile phone in the form of electromagnetic waves. Through a particular radio frequency on these electromagnetic waves, you are able to make and receive calls. The radiation emission is present in small amounts from your mobile as these emissions are of short range waves.
Radiation absorption
Small amount of radio waves emitted from your mobile is absorbed by the body. According to Wikipedia - the maximum power output from a mobile phone is regulated by the mobile phone standard. In most systems the mobile and the base station check reception quality, signal strength and the power level. It is increased or decreased automatically within a certain span to accommodate different situations - when you are inside or outside the building or vehicle.
The rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body is measured by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). SAR data for specific mobile phones, along with other useful information, can be found directly on manufacturers' websites.
Effects by mobile radiation
The effects can be of two types - thermal and non-thermal.
Thermal effects
One of the most common effects by electromagnetic waves is dielectric heating. When a person uses a cell phone, most of the heating effect will occur at the surface of the head.
This heating can increase your head temperature by a fraction of a degree. However this heat is less than the heat obtained by sunlight. The blood circulation isn't affected much, as the brain's blood circulation is capable enough to deal with excess heat, but the cornea of the eyes is not accustomed to a lot of heat.
Non-thermal effects
The communications procedure used by mobile phones often result in low-frequency pulse from the carrier signal.
"Non-thermal effects" could be reinterpreted as a normal cellular response to an increase in temperature. This heat can activate several messenger system, gene expression and production of heat shock protein in order to defend the cell against stress caused by heat.
According to a study conducted by The Journal of the American Medical Association - exposure to radio frequency signal waves within parts of the brain closest to the cell phone antenna resulted in increased levels of glucose metabolism.
In non-thermal effects, following problems can be seen.
- Blood-brain barrier effects
- Cancer
- Cognitive effects
- Electromagnetic hypersensitivity like tingling sensation in the skin of the head, headache, dizziness, loss of mental attention etc.
- Sleep disorders
- Behavioural effects
Reduce the effect of phone radiation
In order to lower the effects of mobile phone radiation follow these simple steps:
Keep some distance
Behind every phone packaging, in fine prints most of the mobile brands recommend to keep your cell at least 10millimeters away from your body. Learn to maintain some distance with your tiny buddy. It may sound difficult but it is not impossible.
Weak signal is bad
Cell phones release more radio frequency radiation when the signal is low. That means, if your signal is low avoid using your cell phone to prevent unnecessary harm.
Choose hands-free headsets
Always choose hands-free headsets, as it will help to reduce the radiation emissions to the brain.
Switch sides
Change hands (and ears) frequently while talking on your cell phone to limit the amount of exposure to one side of your head.
Use speakers to dial numbers
The radiofrequency radiation is strongest when your phone is attempting to place a call, so hold it away from your head until you hear someone pick up.
