The songs from the movie rule hearts on hearts on social media even today. Now, as Biwi No 1 clocks in 25 years, producers Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani from Pooja Entertainment revisit memories from the Iconic film.

Talking about Biwi No. 1, Jackky says "25 years ago, back in the day David Sir and Dad made films for the audiences & entertaining them was at their core. They just knew what the cinema lovers craved. Moreover, Biwi No. 1 was a dream team come true! Karisma, Salman sir, Sushmita, Anil Sir, Tabu – everyone brought their A-game. No wonder it's still such a hit & nostalgic for different generations. I feel very happy that Pooja Entertainment chose to bring this film to cibemas."

I would love to remake this film and keep the magic alive for new audiences."

Biwi No 1 was directed by David Dhawan and was released in May 1999.

Pathbreaking Study by Moneylife Foundation and IIT-B Identifies the Best and Worst Banks in India in Terms of Service Charges

Mumbai, 22 May 2024: A pathbreaking new research uncovers substantial variations in service charges levied by banks across India on basic savings bank accounts. The study, "Benchmarking Reasonableness of Service Charges by Banks in India", authored by Dr Ashish Das from the Indian Institute of Technology- Bombay (IIT-B), and commissioned by Moneylife Foundation under a CSR initiative was released on Wednesday by SS Mundra, former Deputy Governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Study sheds light on commendable practices as well as areas of concern in the way Indian banks charge for their services.

 

Among the scheduled commercial banks (SCBs), only three came out on top (Category A) in the Study. These are IDFC First Bank, AU Small Finance Bank and Bandhan Bank. IDFC First Bank has 14 services where its charges are exceptionally low or zero. Next in terms of low charges is AU SF Bank, which does not charge for mandatory SMS alerts, charges less for online IMPS compared to at-branch IMPS and has a comparatively lower requirement for average monthly balance. Bandhan Bank is the only bank apart from State Bank of India (SBI) with zero average monthly or quarterly balance requirements.

 

Canara Bank and Axis Bank charge the highest, putting them in the lowest category (Category D). Canara Bank ranked lowest in the study for its extremely high service charges for services like 'DD Cancellation', 'Self-Generation of ATM PIN', 'mandatory-SMS alerts' and 'non-maintenance of average balance' in rural areas. Axis Bank has relatively higher charges, with a few outlier charges for 'non-maintenance of balance' in metro and urban accounts, 'non-financial transactions from own bank ATMs' and 'failed Standing Instruction'.

 

Among public sector banks (PSBs), State Bank of India emerged as the best but is still in the B-category. The scrapping of the controversial average quarterly balance (AQB) worked in SBI's favour.

 

Senior journalist Sucheta Dalal, who is founder trustee of Moneylife Foundation says, "We have presented this study to the RBI Governor and his top team and we are told that the report is being examined by the regulator. At Moneylife Foundation, we believe this information, expanded to cover every single bank, ought to be available on a public dashboard, so that anyone who plans to open a bank account, or wants to check if her bank is treating her fairly, can just go there and look for the information and make an informed comparison. Just as anyone can easily check and compare the performance of mutual funds. The Depositor Education & Awareness (DEA) Fund of RBI has plenty of resources to set up this comparative dashboard, if there is a will. It is up to us to make it happen."

 

Until 1999, RBI prescribed what banks could charge for various services. Since then, banks have been allowed to set their own service charges, but RBI has emphasised that bank charges should be reasonable and linked to costs. A report by RBI nearly two decades ago (in September 2006) laid the foundation for discussions on ensuring the reasonableness of bank charges identifying certain services as being fundamental to banking operations. However, there has been no detailed research on whether the principle of 'reasonableness' mandated by RBI is being followed by banks.

 

There was a preliminary investigation by IIT-Bombay (in 2009) and RBI's Department of Banking Supervision conducted a thematic analysis (in 2020-21). These are unpublished and not in the public domain. Hence, no comparison or ranking is available and bank customers remain in the dark about the reasonableness of banking charges, resulting in a lack of transparency and accountability.

 

However, Prof Das says despite these efforts, the question of reasonableness of basic banking service charges remains a pressing concern, particularly in light of the significant transformations within the banking sector over the past 18 years. "In this context, I am grateful for the opportunity to present the findings from the detailed analysis of bank service charges in India and shed light on regulatory and supervisory actions in this domain. The report emphasises the need for a thorough assessment, justification and adherence to regulatory guidelines in fixing service charges. The report provides three case studies that are eye-openers," he says.

 

The study exposes inconsistencies in adherence to RBI mandates; some banks impose charges that exceed reasonable limits. Based on service charge data obtained for a sample of 23 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) and two cooperative banks, the key findings of the study are summarised below.

 

General Observations: While private sector banks tend to impose higher average minimum balance requirements, public sector banks (PSBs) exhibit higher average charges across various services. Some banks impose extremely high service charges. These are: YES Bank (for 'Cheque Returned due to technical reasons'), Federal Bank (for 'Doorstep Banking'), Standard Chartered and Indian Overseas Bank (for 'Non-financial Off-Us ATM transactions') and Canara Bank (for 'DD Cancellation' and 'Self-Generation of ATM PIN'). Off-us refers to transactions done at ATMs and POS terminals of other banks.

ATM/NEFT/RTGS/IMPS Related Charges: Wide disparities in ATM withdrawal charges are evident among banks; some banks adhere to thecaps set by RBI, while others charge below or above these thresholds. Additionally, inconsistencies persist in charges for services such as NEFT/RTGS. Central Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, Bank of India and IDBI Bank, contrary to RBI advice, have failed to pass on branch-based NEFT/RTGS service charge benefits to customers.

Charges for ATM/POS Decline due to Insufficient Balance: Many banks impose penalties for ATM/POS declines due to insufficient balance, with charges reaching as high as Rs25. Out of the 25 banks in the sample, 11 do not charge for POS declines (but charge for ATM declines) while 5 do not charge for both. The study raises questions about the rationale for such charges, particularly since failed transactions do not inflict any cost (the normal interchange charge) on the bank.

Debit Card Annual Fees: Despite the declining significance of debit cards domestically, a majority of banks continue to impose annual fees. Of the 25 banks in the sample, 16 banks do not charge for debit card issuance, while all banks, except IDFC First Bank, impose debit card annual fees. The study advocates a review of the reasonableness of these fees, especially taking into account the large number of instances where cards remain unused.

Charges on Mandatory-SMS Alerts: RBI has mandated SMS alerts for debit transactions done through UPI/NEFT/RTGS/IMPS and ATM cash withdrawals. Such SMS alerts become part of the product features of the withdrawal channels. Yet, some banks levy charges for mandatory SMS alerts. Ten out of the 25 banks do not charge for the mandatory-SMS alerts, and among the 15 banks that impose these charges, five do not have a monthly/quarterly cap on such SMS alert charges.

Penal Charges for Non-maintenance of Minimum Balance: The study reveals inconsistencies in penal charges imposed by banks for non-maintenance of minimum balance, with some banks applying disproportionately higher charges. There are 14 banks having a slab structure wherein, for each slab, the penal charges are constant in rupee terms, i.e., they are not a fixed percentage of the shortfall even within each slab. These banks impose a disproportionately higher penal charge in the lower slab of shortfalls than in the higher slabs.

 

Using a rank aggregation method, 44 service-charge variables were analysed to rank all the banks in the sample. The banks were then grouped into four categories (A-D), with A being the best and D being the worst.

 

The overall analysis revealed some interesting results. Both Saraswat Cooperative Bank and SVC Cooperative Bank, performed exceptionally well, earning a spot in the top tier (Category A). However, being cooperative banks, they have very different customer segments, business models and regulatory requirements. Hence, for the purpose of eliminating any undue effects of these two cooperative banks in the rankings, only a 

sample set of 22 SCBs was considered when ranking the banks with respect to service charges.   This sample set also leaves out Standard Chartered Bank, as it is a different class of bank and does not have a presence in semi-urban and rural areas. While charges levied by Standard Chartered Bank are analysed in the report, it has not been considered in the overall rankings.   Based on their service charges, banks are ranked in the report as follows:   Category A (Best Performers): IDFC First Bank AU SF Bank Bandhan Bank Saraswat Cooperative Bank SVC Cooperative Bank Category B: State Bank of India RBL Bank Ujjivan SF Bank HDFC Bank Bank of Maharashtra Punjab National Bank IndusInd Bank Union Bank of India Bank of Baroda   Category C: Central Bank of India IDBI Bank Bank of India Kotak Mahindra Bank ICICI Bank Federal Bank Indian Overseas Bank Yes Bank   Category D (Worst Performers): Axis Bank Canara Bank   The study also provides insights from case studies, highlighting regulatory actions and supervisory inactions concerning unreasonable service charges by some banks. This underscores the need for greater oversight and accountability in the banking sector.   In the light of these findings, the study offers the following recommendations: RBI should conduct a thorough review of the issues highlighted in the report, focusing on the reasonableness of service charges imposed by banks. Regulatory observations made through case studies should be addressed promptly to ensure fairness and transparency in banking practices. Banks should prioritise customer-centricity, rationality and adherence to regulatory guidelines when fixing service charges. Greater oversight and accountability mechanisms need to be established to safeguard the interests of bank depositors, particularly marginalised ones.   About the Study: The "Benchmarking Reasonableness of Service Charges by Banks in India", was conducted by Dr Ashish Das of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, on behalf of Moneylife Foundation. It provides a comprehensive analysis of service charges levied by banks in India.                                         Souce: Press release

Dr. Kiran Bedi highlights the critical need to dismantle systemic barriers that are holding Women back: A Call to Shatter Glass Ceilings.

Hyderabad, 6 May: In an inspiring assembly of minds, Woxsen University hosted Dr. Kiran Bedi, the first woman IPS Officer and former Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, at the special edition of The FutureYou Talks held at their campus in Hyderabad. The event also marked the inauguration of the Kiran Bedi Hall at Woxsen University, a testament to Dr. Bedi's inspirational legacy. 

Dr. Bedi’s exemplary career and commitment to women's empowerment make her an ideal speaker to illuminate this vital topic ‘Women in Leadership: Breaking Barriers and Glass Ceilings.' Her achievements are profound, from pioneering roles in the police force to advocating for reform in the Indian prison system and leading initiatives for social change. Dr. Bedi’s previous engagements and numerous leadership seminars, highlight her lifelong dedication to empowering women and challenging societal norms​.

The official commencement of The FutureYou Talks set the stage for a day filled with insightful discussions and meaningful interactions. Dr. Raul V. Rodriguez, Vice President of Woxsen University, addressed students and highlighted the institution's commitment to fostering leadership and breaking new ground in higher education. 

Dr. Raul V. Rodriguez, Vice President of Woxsen University, stated, "We are committed to empowering the women community. Out of our 7 schools, 3 are led by accomplished women, reflecting our dedication to gender diversity and equality. We are proud to maintain a 50-50 ratio of male and female students, fostering an inclusive learning environment. Furthermore, we are deeply invested in supporting rural communities, having successfully generated employment opportunities for them. Our impactful ‘Woxsen Elevate Program’ runs for almost 4 months annually and provides training to 600-800 children on average every weekend. The overwhelming response from the children, who willingly volunteer for these programs, demonstrates their appreciation for the invaluable learning opportunities we provide. Our overarching goal is to give back to society in every way possible. We are committed to nurturing our students' understanding of their role in contributing towards the upliftment of the underprivileged, fostering a sense of social responsibility & compassion."

During her keynote speech Dr. Bedi began by addressing the Chancellor, university members and students where she said "Always remember that in the past, people had to move to where the jobs were. Now, jobs are coming to where people are. This shift demands that you maintain yourself, study diligently, and constantly aim higher.  Strive to rise above personal good to contribute towards the greater good.” Appreciating Woxsen University and its Campus she mentioned “Woxsen is indeed such a world-class university and in just ten years the university has transformed itself with such a great learning facility, I will encourage the students to embody your Chancellor’s mantra of giving back to society.”

Her empowering words resonated with the audience, sparking conversations on the role of women in shaping a progressive society. She states “Real change will occur when powerful women become less of an exception. This is why I challenge myself daily to step out of my comfort zone and not be an exception. It's heartening to recall that when I joined the Police Academy in 1975, I was the only woman among over 80 men in the batch. Today, one-third of the batches consist of women, which is why I frequently visit the National Police Academy in Hyderabad.”

Addressing the challenges of women in leadership roles, she emphsised that women have 3 unique challenges - namely marriage, motherhood, and mothering, “it’s crucial to be prepared to face these challenges while maintaining your individuality”, she said

While Dr. Bedi advised the students on managing their time and thoughts,  she exclaimed “Remember to self-police the traffic jam in your mind. You don’t need a uniform for that!”

During our Fireside chat segment, Dr. Bedi while reflecting on a profound incident he said “I recall the day I towed Indira Gandhi’s car from a no-parking zone. I was simply following our nation's laws, which earned me the nickname ‘Crane Bedi’. I have always stood for what is right.”

She further urged students to perceive “Education should make you courageously independent, as my upbringing and education did for me. Utilize every available resource and discern right from wrong.” she said.

When asked about her prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award, Dr. Bedi took pride in sharing that she was honored not for combating terrorism, but for empathetic, accessible, responsible, problem-solving, and creative policing focused on crime prevention—”this aligns with my belief in the power of prevention” she stated.

Talking about setbacks, Dr. Bedi didn't mince while sharing that “ There was a significant one when I was overlooked for the position of Police Commissioner of Delhi, despite my records, qualifications and seniority. A junior by two years was appointed instead. This setback was a reflection of those at the helm prioritizing personal gain over the greater good. However, facing this challenge opened many more doors for me after I took voluntary retirement. The key is to believe in yourself and focus on the legacy you want to leave behind" - Dr. Kiran Bedi

A fireside chat with Dr. Bedi provided an intimate platform for discussing the nuances of leadership and the impact of societal contributions. The session was followed by the conferment of "The Woxsen Award for Timeless Societal Contributions" to Dr. Bedi, in recognition of her enduring impact on society.

Woxsen University stands at the forefront of advocating for women in leadership roles, a commitment reflected in its diverse academic and administrative structures. The University prides itself on having significant female representation across various key positions including deans, board members and other key positions exemplifying the belief in practical gender equality and the empowerment of women through education and leadership.

Summer hacks from the sets of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah

The scorching heat this summer is worrying. Even with the hot weather, the cast of "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah" is working hard to keep everyone entertained and cheerful.

The team of "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah" works around the clock to entertain its viewers. While the actors put in their hard work, it's the responsibility of Neela Films and the show's creator, Asit Kumarr Modi, to keep everyone motivated, provide a healthy and happy work environment, and take care of everyone on the set.

Talking about the precautions taken on the sets of TMKOC, Asit Kumarr Modi said, " Every day, we hear about how global warming is making summers hotter in our country and across Asia. On our sets, we ensure the team stays safe in these challenging conditions.”

"We try to avoid shooting in direct sunlight as much as possible and if it's unavoidable we put skimmer (shade) to avoid harsh sunlight. Between 12 noon to 4 or 5pm we distribute Sharbat or Nimbu Pani to every unit member to keep them Hydrated and energetic.  As everyone is aware we have a garden in the Gokuldham Society, we water plants and Garden around afternoon so it converts warm air into mild breeze. This is a very old technique followed in our villages till today." 

Apart from these hacks followed on sets of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and considering the current summer situation Asit Kumarr Modi has highlighted this heat issue in his upcoming track as well. “We humans have access to everything and if we don't we can ask for things we want as simple as water but animals and birds around us don't have that liberty so it's our responsibility to at least keep water in our surroundings for them. We have also tried to give same message in our upcoming track," Asit Kumarr Modi concluded.
