Simple Secrets for Success Mesage

Believe in yourself.
Always stay true to what makes you unique and trust your gut. See your differences as strengths rather than handicaps. And, instead of comparing you to others...be inspired by them!

Work hard.Pure and simple. Ideas aren't worth anything unless you put them to work. You have to be responsible, dependable, disciplined and never stop learning or growing.

Take risks. 
It's O.K. to be afraid but you just have to plunge in anyway. This isn't easy, especially when it feels like the tide is against you, but it's just necessary to take risks in order to stay fresh and relevant. You will make mistakes but your efforts will also make a difference. Just take a deep breath and step out of that comfort zone!

Keep an open mind. 
Be willing to adapt and change when you need to. Adjust your sails to catch that wind. Be strong...yet flexible and resilient...like bamboo...and bend rather than break.

Accept your limitations. 

Some good practices to keep your money safe 🤑🤑🤑


Accounts

1) Make two bank accounts.

Primary account and Secondary account

Keep all your money in Primary and never use it for online transactions.

Never use Primary Debit card anywhere.

Use the Secondary account for all the spending and withdrawing money from ATM. Transfer money from Primary account when needed and keep balance under Rs 10,000.

Cards

1) Use Credit Card as much as possible So that the liability is on banks. Debit cards means your money is gone.In credit card payments banks can delay or revert the fraudulent payment but not in case of debit card payment. So credit card is safer choice for transactions
If you aren't earning a handsome salary or have bad credit score just put an FD of 25,000 and get a Credit Card against it. Never ever use your Debit Card for online shopping or at POS terminals.

2) Get a safer chip based card. A duplicate copy of magnetic cards can be made in minutes, chip based cards cannot be copied easily.

3) Never let your cards out of your sight, When paying bills at some restaurant, ask them to bring the POS machine to you or you yourself go to the machine. Also grab that receipt, check, and tear.

4) Always hide the keypad.Those devices that you swipe that card have walls to hide your fingers so that no one can see what you're typing, that isn't adequate, cover the top of your hand as well.Don't punch in the numbers by making a fist and taking the index fingers out. Instead, type like a person playing the piano, i.e: all four fingers resting or hovering over the keypad.

Lots of questioning going on in mind after PM's speech regarding stooping of Rs 500 and 1000 notes , here is the complete information.

Rs 500 and Rs 1000 stopped : Information 
 1. With a view to curbing financing of terrorism through the proceeds of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and use of such funds for subversive activities such as espionage, smuggling of arms, drugs and other contrabands into India, and for eliminating Black Money which casts a long shadow of parallel economy on our real economy, it has been decided to cancel the legal tender character of the High Denomination bank notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 denominations issued by RBI till now. This will take effect from the expiry of the 8th November, 2016.

  1. Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in circulation in these denominations are comparatively larger as compared to those in other denominations. For a common person, the fake notes look similar to genuine notes. Use of FICN facilitates financing of terrorism and drug trafficking. Use of high denomination notes for storage of unaccounted wealth has been evident from cash recoveries made by law enforcement agencies from time to time. High denomination notes are known to facilitate generation of black money. In this connection, it may be noted that while the total number of bank notes in circulation rose by 40% between 2011 and 2016, the increase in number of notes of Rs.500/- denomination was 76% and for Rs.1,000/- denomination was 109% during this period. New Series bank notes of Rs.500/- and Rs.2,000/- denominations will be introduced for circulation from 10th November, 2016. Infusion of Rs.2,000/- bank notes will be monitored and regulated by RBI. Introduction of new series of banknotes which will be distinctly different from the current ones in terms of look, design, size and colour has been planned.

  1. The World Bank in July, 2010 estimated the size of the shadow economy for India at 20.7% of the GDP in 1999 and rising to 23.2% in 2007. There are similar estimates made by other Indian and international agencies. A parallel shadow economy corrodes and eats into the vitals of the country’s economy. It generates inflation which adversely affects the poor and the middle classes more than others. It deprives Government of its legitimate revenues which could have been otherwise used for welfare and development activities.
  2. In the last two years, the Government has taken a number of steps to curb the menace of black money in the economy including setting up of a Special Investigation Team (SIT); enacting a law regarding undisclosed foreign income and assets; amending the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between India and Mauritius and India and Cyprus; reaching an understanding with Switzerland for getting information on Bank accounts held by Indians with HSBC; encouraging the use of non-cash and digital payments; amending the Benami Transactions Act; and implementing the Income Declaration Scheme 2016.
  3. In order to implement the above decisions of the Government and keeping in view the need to minimise inconvenience to the public, the following operational guidelines have been issued:-

Funny: Indian Notes 500 and 1000 will be illegal starting 12 midnight on November 8 2016

" Jan Dhan Yojana -- beyond Fault Lines "
 
 






Time and again, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has been making scathing attacks on the Financial Inclusion in the land of poor. It was not long ago that we were called the land of snake charmers, but to change that image overnight would just be pushing ourselves beyound the "Fault Lines", a book aptly authored by the Governor himself.
 
Speaking at an IMF event in Lima on October 8, Rajan talked about how, beyond a point, financial inclusion, especially one led by a drive to make easy credit available for the poor and hitherto unbanked, can actually have a negative impact on the financial stability of the whole system. 
 
It is important to note that Rajan was the man who had predicted the Sub - prime crisis years before it actually took the financial giants like Lehman Brothers down while the unfallible Bank of America, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch were sold at fire-sale price and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley became commercial banks. This eventually lead to a full blown global financial crisis in 2008.
 
Rajan's word of caution comes at a time when India is seeing a massive campaign for financial inclusion in the form of the Jan Dhan Yojana, under which over 18.5 crore new bank accounts have been opened in the past one year. Each of these accounts comes with an overdraft facility of Rs 5,000 once the account remains active for six months. 
 
Although not speaking specifically about India, Rajan said ìÖmy sense is that, beyond a certain point, push becomes actually negative because you bring in people who arenít able to absorb credit.î The flip side of pushing financial inclusion is the supervisory capacity of the banks and lending institutions. There is evidence already that because of relaxed KYC norms, there is considerable duplication in the newly opened bank accounts.
 
Although Financial inclusion is an effective tool for raising economic growth and reducing inequality, but due consideration must also be given to the fact as to how too much push can hurt financial stability. The crisis in Indiaís microfinance sector around 2010 was a direct result of lax supervision and excessive lending to people who had no ability to invest the loans productively and repay.
 
The political economy of the credit-led financial inclusion makes it imperative for the policymakers to use cheap credit as a way to enhance the short-term consumption of voters, while ignoring investment in the real economy. In nutshell, it can be easily implied that such superficial efforts towards financial inclusion will not work in the long term unless there is adequate investment in the core sectors of the economy.
