Inbound Passengers to India have to declare currency over Rs 10000 in Immigration Forms

Posted: 16 Feb 2014 03:00 AM PST

Passengers flying into India will have to declare Indian currency exceeding Rs. 10,000 being brought by them, according to new customs rules which will be implemented from next month.

Besides, they will also be asked to declare the number of baggage, including hand baggage, while entering into the country, say new rules notified by the Finance Ministry.

According to new rules under Customs Baggage Declaration (Amendment) Regulations, 2014, an Indian citizen would need to fill up the immigration form only when he or she goes out of the country. There will be no immigration form for Indian citizens returning from abroad.

The regulations will be implemented from March 1, said a notification issued on February 10 by the Finance Ministry.

For the first time, travellers would be asked to specifically declare any prohibited articles, gold jewellery (over free allowance), gold bullion and Indian currency exceeding Rs. 10,000 in the new form, they said.

A passenger will have to give details of countries visited in the past six days and mention the passport number on the new form, which was not there earlier.

Passengers will also have to give details of baggage, including hand baggage, being carried by them in a separate column on the form.

How to check if BSNL evdo will give me speeds at my place before i purchase it?

Posted: 16 Feb 2014 12:38 AM PST

I am from ahmedabad, Vatva. I was using local SpidiGo internet from past 2 years. a month back my spidigo guys told me that there is some problem with their local AP and hence i will be refunded my money. I applied for tikona internet provider, the guy from tikona did show up today but told me that connection at my place is not possible since he can not get a LOS to his AP.

Reliance Wimax is to expensive. Airtel/Tata broadband are not available at my place. so now the only players who remain are Dongles and data cards. I have used unlimted broadband plans from past 4 years, and hence would like to continue using unlimted in future as well. but when i did some research for the datacard/dongle plans by various providers and came to know that most of the so called "Unlimted plans" by tata photon, reliance netconnect +, and MTS blaze only provide good speeds untill few GBs a month.

Now the only thing that remain is BSNL evdo Which according to my research actually provides unlimited internet at 750 a month. but since it is BSNL obviously it was hard for me to gather information regarding how to get the connection and things.

Now the only concern i have is that, i know that BSNL evdo provides only 144kbps where it doesnt have the "high speed" signals. I am worried that if i buy a new evdo , in my home i may not get the speed.

So my question is : How do i check bsnl evdo speed in my house, without having an evdo ? I dont have any friends who use evdo. however i do have freinds who have BSNL sims. so can i check BSNL sim signal such as if its HSPA or EDGE ? does that matter?

Thanks for reading

Airtel offered me a new plan

Posted: 16 Feb 2014 12:36 AM PST

Airtel called me today and said since I'd taken Smartbytes for 12gb last month, they wanted to offer 125 fup plan(80gb now) at the same speed(8mbps) for 50rs extra.

I also heard they are giving 3g at 2g rates in my area these days.

Is airtel on a PR improving spree? Anyone got offers like this?

Windows Phone 8.1

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 11:35 PM PST

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/08/windows-phone-notifications/

You know how it goes, you buy a phone on eBay, and it comes with a developer / pre-release version of a major mobile OS. Well, if these images are to be believed, that's at least what happened to one bargain-hunting Windows Phone fan. The screenshots -- said to be taken from a Nokia 920 -- show Windows Phone 8, but with a few new tweaks and features. Most notable, will likely be the notifications, but other tidbits include App list ordering based on frequency of use, week view in the calendar and the option to kill apps from the multitask screen. The phone reports a build number of: 12084.WPMAIN(wpbldlab).20130509-1407 leading some to infer that this version could have been compiled sometime in May. A tease of something to come? As always, hard to tell, but expect the price of second-hand 920s to bump up a little, for the next few weeks at least.

Airtel data usage fake?

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 04:23 PM PST

I have been using airtel for few months now its been pretty good

I took the 4mbps 25gb limit plan it was good until i felt that my data plan gets over faster than i expect to to get over ,

meaning my 25 gb limits gets over when i havent downloaed anything big

well that can easily happen casuse its fast net and all that but just to make sure i dowladed an app that tracks my data usage ...

one day when my data plan got over and the speed went slow i check the app and it showed 17 gb used

So I called customer service and asked them,

they said their severs are never wrong,

I was like okay it can happens cause its over the course of a month mistakes can happen .

But then today i came back form holidays dint even use the net all this time,

went online chekde facebook and youtube then checkd the app(1.63gb) and campared it to the value in the site(airtel.in) after login in(2.86 gb)

I dont get how this could happen i have print screen of the value can some one help me find a way to attact it here?

Is this fraud or error from my side? I know there is an airtel mod here so kindly reply

Airtel Broadband likely to soon offer 512kbps post FUP on all plans

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 04:16 PM PST

It seems finally Airtel is coming back to it's senses,they have decided to increases post FUP speed to 512 Kbps across all plans which will come into effect from 29th November.Just few days ago I saw a thread here mentioning the increase in speed to 512 kbps in Jaipur,I got excited and called the Customer Care just to inquire the same(i also wanted a PLAN CHANGE)..I think there is still a need to Increase their quota GB's of data provided in their initial plans.I was on 2 Mbps 10 GB FUP RS 700+taxes(100 calls free),I shifted to 1299+taxes with 15 GB( 8 Mbps) data and 1000 local calls free.I am not a heavy downloaded,my bandwidth usage is somewhere between 20-25 GB per months with a decent usage of phone so that plan suits well to me.

I just hope they should increase their FUP speed to at least 1 Mbps,specially in their high end plans!!

Delhi Government to file lawsuits in alleged inflated gas price scam

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 03:36 PM PST

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said legal cases will be filed against billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Union Oil Minister Veerappa Moily and other policy-makers for colluding to inflate the prices of gas produced from the D6 block off the eastern coast. "Today we have instructed the anti-corruption branch to file a criminal case against Murli Deora, FIRs against Veerappa Moily, VK Sibal, the (then) Director General of Hydrocarbons, Reliance Industries Ltd Chairman Mukesh Ambani and others," Mr Kejriwal said, declaring that Reliance was being allowed windfall illegitimate gains.
