Google Inc projected in 2010 it would get more than 35 per cent of its 2013 revenue from outside its flagship search operation, anticipating three non-search businesses, including commerce, would generate more than $5 billion each, according to internal company documents filed in court.

Govt. gives nod to project merging Aadhar, PAN Databases

In order to weed out the problem of fake PAN cards and to ensure an accurate biometric data, the government has initiated a mammoth project to bring together both the Aadhar and the PAN databases.

The Nandan Nilekani-led Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issues the Aadhar number which is now being synchronised with the Permanent Account Number database maintained by the I-T Department.

The Finance Ministry, which had first mooted the proposal of generating and issuing biometric PAN in 2006, had kept the decision pending for sometime as it was felt that both the agencies (UIDAI and I-T) would be “duplicating the effort” to reach a common goal — biometrics-based identity.

Agent Commission on Savings Schemes

The payment of commission to agents of Public Provident Fund (PPF) Scheme and Senior Citizens Savings Scheme has been discontinued, with effect from 1st December, 2011. Commission under all other schemes (except MPKBY Agents) has been reduced from 1% to 0.5%. However, commission to Mahila Pradhan Kshetriya Bachat Yojana (MPKBY) agents will continue at the existing rate of 4%.

The Committee set up by the Government for comprehensive review of National Small Savings Fund (NSSF) had, inter-alia, recommended rationalization of commission rate structure. Based on the recommendations, the Government has decided to reduce/ abolish the agency commission, the main, intention for which is to make these schemes more investor centric than agent centric. Market linked rates to investors, market linked interest rates on loans to States and Centre and viability of NSSF can only be ensured if the administrative cost of NSSF, of which this commission is a part, is brought down and the benefit of market alignment of rates is passed on to the investor rather than burdening the structure with higher administrative costs. To this effect, the decision of Government is pro investor and also keeps in mind the interest of agents where required.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.

EPFO interest rates to be raised to 8.6%

NEW DELHI: In a move expected to benefit over 5 crore people, the government on Thursday announced that the interest rate on employees' provident fund will be increased to 8.6% for the current fiscal. The Employees' Provident Fund Organization ( EPFO) had in March brought the interest down to 8.25% for 2011-2012 from 9.5% in 2010-2011.

The cut in interest rate had led to vociferous protests from political parties, trade unions and employees who depend on the scheme for their retirement benefits. "The rates were brought down due to lower income (on investment in Special Deposit Schemes).There is no question of minimum or maximum interest rates. We distribute it as per our revenue. Next time, it will be 8.6%," labour minister Mallikarju Kharge said in the Rajya Sabha.

7 Tips for Basic e-mail Security

Simple to implement, these tips can be a good start to making sure your e-mail communication becomes more secure.

1. Understand that no e-mail communication is 100% secure. We can do our best to make the percentage close to that, but sometimes - if the information is extremely important - you should consider ditching the e-mail option and deliver it in person (if possible). Avoid sending credit card or social security numbers via e-mail. It's also a good idea not to send user names and passwords for accounts you don't want to see compromised.
