<strong>Mumbai:</strong> India has become the only country where Home Minister disappears in times of trouble and re-appears when MP MLA defects.</p>
<p>Amit Shah has disappeared when India is a facing the COVID-19 pandemic like disaster &amp; Home Minister is responsible for law &amp; order &amp; National Disaster Relief Force. But, in spite of coronavirus being in its stage 3 Amit Shah is nowhere to be seen.</p>
<p>If Rahul Gandhi goes for a vacation despite not being in power it’s becomes headlines.</p>
<p>The mastermind behind every toppling of different state governments &amp; Modi’s moves is missing and no one cares?</p>
<p>His silence seriously speaks volumes &amp; symbolizes more autocratic planning going on. Don’t know what’s more left, for our nation to face. But, more autocratic disasters are coming soon.</p>
<p>The lockdown will be used as a planning period as well besides the execution of pre planned disasters.</p>
<p>Never take fascist’s silence for granted. Silence preaches violence in the mind of fascist. Devil works in the dark you see. And I am serious about it. I mean am the last person to believe this lockdown is just for coronavirus, fascists never do something without self motive.</p>
<p>With democracy already being in the helm of its destruction, the Modi Shah duo is in a intrinsic combination of mutual stupidity and authoritarianism. It’s no secret that Amit Shah is more vicious and cunning than the latter.</p>
<p>Patriotism is mysterious as well as terrible. Truth and the devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.</p>
<p>In an era of sadomasochistic politics, where institutions have legacy with worms stinking upon it, opposition is sleeping and the media is a herd of cattle, the unexpected and sudden silence of the devil is welcoming more deadly endeavors at the feet of our nation. And the lockdown above all will serve as an advantage.</p>
<p>IMF recently remarked that the world has entered into a global recession, India which was already in a stagnant stage, will be doubly effected by the coronavirus epidemic even more. The country whose economy has been anyway falling due to consumption denial, not only due to low income and unemployment but also due to very anticipation of punitive hard and fast measures taken by this present government, will have a double effect on the reduction of demand and supply in the market.</p>
<p>The government of India which anyway is nurtured by the false notion that democracy means my ignorance is as good as your knowledge, has a disdain for knowledge and intellect. Nothing more can anyway be expected from a government of misogynist men holding fake degrees.</p>
<p>Nirmala Sitaraman too has no idea as to how to handle the falling economy, and is reluctant of giving money in the hands of people which could have solved the problem of consumption denial.</p>
<p>India anyway a nation whose challenge of secularism is always unfulfilled, the rise of Hindutva nationalism and intolerance post 2014 in recent years has doubly subjugated the narrative.</p>
<p>However, the Shaheen Bagh Revolution and people’s outrage has certainly given a sense of denial to the idea of an overlapping religious extremism to democratic values.<br />
Shah’s tactics, no matter how well they be planned and calculated have lost the Delhi Election during the nationwide outrage over citizenship laws. It was then however, greeted with a deplorable state sponsored genocide, a pogrom which India never expected to witness.<br />
This shows the frustration and anger of a government and its inability to accept difference and defeat. Such a man, will certainly be the first person to take the advantage of a lockdown. But, having mentioned before, Shah isn’t a fool, he knows how religion card played out, he knows what the economy’s status is.</p>
<p>The best part of coronavirus pandemic is that it’s effecting the lives of all of us, and not a particular community or group of people. Hence, the mirages of divisions of society such as religion and the dilemma of nationalism might not get completely destroyed but will get rusted. And Shah knows that. Shah knows, in such a situation, when the curfew gets over, the country’s center of attention would be the economy, with a even more compete attitude, because all of our lives, to a certain extent will be effected with an obvious economic strain. The devil will no longer get away by citing scriptures for it’s purpose.</p>
<p>Shah isn’t an idiot to witness that mood of the nation, with impuissance of hiding the treachery of governance he and his government has done. One won’t have any gain saying, that Shah isn’t prophetic of India’s political landscape.</p>
<p>He knows when people stop being convinced for him to take the proverbial straw of confusion and rage. It’s been 3 months of a new decade, and 6 years of bjp’s governance, most of us are already exhausted, by the repeated reprehensible assault of democracy. But, when we can have the audacity to elect an illiterate as the Prime minister and a women snooper as the Home minister, just because the opposition isn’t pseudo capable, then the moronic educated illiterates of our nation deserve to face its consequences.<br />
What you have seen till now, is still a teaser. The real game hasn’t started. Mark my words. And read this blog once again, after two years to remind yourself, of this perfidy.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in/if-rahul-gandhi-goes-for-a-vacation-despite-not-being-in-power-its-becomes-headlines-but-the-home-minister-amit-shah-is-missing-and-no-one-cares-when-the-nation-is-facing-covid-19/">If Rahul Gandhi Goes For A Vacation Despite Not Being In Power It’s Becomes Headlines, But The Home Minister Amit Shah Is Missing And No One Cares?

The entire world has come to a stand-still as everyone comes together to fight the global pandemic of Coronavirus. India has taken a lot of positive steps to control this widespread disease. Last week, PM Narendra Modi called for a country-wide lockdown for three weeks. The PM took it upon himself to start a public charitable trust called ‘Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM-CARES Fund)’, for the many distressed situations such as the Coronavirus, which will protect alleviating the suffering of those affected. The Bollywood fraternity has come forward and joined hands to offer their support for this cause. Not only have the actors been active in spreading the word about following hygiene protocols and encouraging social distancing, but they have also largely contributed to the PM-CARES Fund.</p>

The actor mentioned that this is the time to do all that one can to help out others. Taking to his social media account, Akshay shared, “This is that time when all that matters is the lives of our people. And we need to do anything and everything it takes. I pledge to contribute Rs 25 crores from my savings to @narendramodi ji’s PM-CARES Fund. Let’s save lives, Jaan hai toh jahaan hai.”</p>
<p>Along with Akshay Kumar, there was also an announcement made by ace filmmaker, T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar that he will also take part in this cause by pledging to donate a sum of Rs. 11 crores to the organization founded by our PM. Bhushan Kumar wrote on his Twitter account, “Today, we are all at a really crucial stage &amp; it’s extremely important to do all we can to help. I, along with my entire @TSeries family pledge to donate Rs. 11 crores to the PM-CARES Fund. We can &amp; will fight this together, Jai Hind Flag of India @PMOIndia @narendramodi #IndiaFightsCorona”</p>
<p>Apart from these two industry stalwarts, we have several other members from the Bollywood fraternity as well as other cinema streams who are playing an active part in this cause. Like always, the film industry has come together to make sure that they aid the people of our country in any way that they can. By taking these positive steps, they have also encouraged many others to do the same. With the help and support of our esteemed film industry members and the government along with the masses, our country, and the rest of the world, will not only fight strongly against the pandemic of COVID-19 but also come out on the other side as winners.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in/bollywood-fraternity-steps-up-to-support-the-fight-against-covid-19/">Bollywood fraternity steps up to support the fight against COVID-19</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in">Latest News, Breaking News, National News, World News, India News, Bollywood News, Business News, Politics News, Sports News, Entertainment News - CineBuster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<div id=":sc" class="a3s aXjCH ">The country is on a lockdown for three weeks and looks like our celebrities are doing chores that they never did before. Several actors are doing the household chores in this self-quarantine phase and are killing time. But looks like doing household chores for Kartik Aaryan is no different.</p>
<p>Few days back Kartik’s sister had posted a video of the hunk doing the dishes at home with a caption stating, ‘Don’t mistake this for Quarantine. This is the usual scene at home @kartikaaryan.’ It’s not hard to believe that the humble superstar, does his own work at home and just leads a simple life in his home. Kartik soon reposted this story and captioned it saying, ‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki…’ the namesake to the hit serial made by TV Czarina Ekta Kapoor. Soon Ekta commented to the story saying, ‘Naaice’ and well what followed is simply hilarious and sweet. Kartik Aaryan replied to the producer saying, ‘@ektakapoor My mom is asking for a sequel.’ Now we wonder will Ms Kapoor listen to this special request and return with a reboot kahaani on television. But this chat between the actor and the producer is a delight.</p>
<p>Kartik Aaryan is quarantined in his Mumbai home with his family and last week, he broke the internet with his viral monologue, #CoronaStopKaroNa where the heartthrob rants about the dos’ and donts’ during this pandemic. Not just the netizens but even our country’s PM – Narendra Modi gave a thumbs-up to the monologue and supported his unique initiative. And last week he continued his cause of awareness by rapping his monologue lines into a musical-slogan. The rap too hit the right nerve among the masses and within few hours became the most shared video on every app.  Trust this hunk to take any medium by storm. While the big screens are shut down for an indefinite period, he’s on social media for his fans to entertain and educate and surely not be missed.</p></div>

Actors who work on daily soaps are too caught up with their shooting schedule and don’t get to spend a lot of time with their loved ones. Avinesh Rekhi aka Sarabjeet from  Colors&#8217; popular show Choti Sarrdarrni also faces a similar situation. The actor, who has been ruling the viewers’ hearts with his avatar as a true blue Punjabi on the show, believes that spending quality time with family is very important and he especially misses spending time with his little daughter, Avira.</p>
<p>Now with 21days of the Quarantine period, people are getting to spend more time at home and Avinesh is making the most of it. Only recently in a very sweet photograph, the actor was seen repairing his daughter Avira’s toy kitchen set. In the photograph, a burly Avinesh is seen repairing a tiny cabinet as son Anraj looks on.</p>
<p>Talking about it, Avinesh said, “Daughters are blessings to their fathers, and I am blessed to have one. Due to my busy shoot schedule, I was missing these precious moments with my daughter and my family. Spending time with them is like a stress buster and time just flies. I hope everyone is staying home, staying safe and spending these tough times with their loved ones.”</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in/avira-is-totally-a-daddys-girl-says-avinesh-rekhi/">Avira is totally a daddy’s girl says, Avinesh Rekhi</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in">Latest News, Breaking News, National News, World News, India News, Bollywood News, Business News, Politics News, Sports News, Entertainment News - CineBuster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<div dir="auto"><b>HYDERABAD: </b>At a time of paranoia and panic over how long this corona-fuelled lockdown may stretch, internationally renowned medical expert Dr D Nageshwar Reddy has good news. &#8220;This is something we can easily conquer. There’s no need to panic,” he says, while adding that the current lockdown “should not prolong beyond 3-4 weeks”.</p>
<p>In a chat with GS Vasu, the Hyderabad-based gastroenterologist, who was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2016 and currently serves as the Chairman of the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, shares two key findings that give India reason to hope &#8211; one emerging from a study on genome sequencing and another from research on the impact of temperature on the virus. He also elaborates on why he abhors the term social distancing and how staying positive could prove vital. Excerpts:</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><b>GS Vasu: You have studied the origin of the virus and the way it has spread. What, in your view, is the risk to India?</b></p>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Dr N Reddy: If you look at its history, the virus originated somewhere in the middle of December in China at a live seafood market and then, spread to the Wuhan area. From the Wuhan area, it travelled to Western countries like Italy, the USA and Europe. With a lag of about two or three weeks, it came from these areas to India, indirectly. So, we had a gap of three or four weeks to study this virus.</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Coronavirus is an RNA virus. This particular strain seems to be in bats but whether it directly came from the bat or not, we are still not sure. A small mutation occurred which allowed it to get transmitted from bats to humans. But the most important thing is that when this virus spread to say Italy or the US to India, the genotypes of this virus turned out to be different. Sequencing of the whole virus has been done in four countries — the first in the USA, second in Italy, third in China and fourth in India.</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto">What they are finding is that this virus has a different genome sequencing in India compared to say Italy. This has a lot of significance because in the Indian virus, there is a single mutation occuring in the spike protein of the genome. Spike protein is the area that attaches to the human cell. One small mutation has happened, making that attachment weak. So, this will become an important factor for us in India.</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Whereas in the Italian virus, three mutations have occurred, making it more deadly to these people. In Italy, the other aspects are also at play. The age of many patients being above 70-80 years, smoking, alcohol, comorbid conditions like diabetes, hypertension and so on. Therefore, with this combination, mortality levels are higher than usual, sometimes 10%. Whereas in India, in the USA, in China, the mortality is only about 2%. There is variation in mortality and infection rate based upon the genome of the virus and the host immunity is also playing a role.</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><b>So, in your view, the virus that has spread to India is less harmful than the one that has spread to other countries? Can that be said?</b></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">No, we can’t directly say that but what we can say is that there is a definite difference in the gene sequence and we are hoping that will result in the virus being less harmful because its attachment to the cell is not as good. But clinically, unless we do large-scale studies we won’t know and whether this is 100% true. But there is definitely a difference in the genotype.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"><b>There are contrarian views on the complete lockdown that we have imposed, doctor. Some feel we should have just shut the red zones while others are of the view that complete shutdown is the only solution. What are your thoughts on that?</b></p>
</div>
<div dir="auto">So, this is a very controversial area. There are two extremes — one is complete shutdown, the other extreme is to keep everything open and test everybody. This is what South Korea did. Everything is still open in South Korea but they did extensive testing of the population and those people who are positive have been isolated quickly. This is called the red zone or selective isolation.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">In our country, because of the demographics and because of the scale involved, extensive testing is not feasible. For us, the only alternative is to do a complete lockdown, which has been done. This also has economic consequences but I think the temporary lockdown of two or three weeks was a must at that point in time for the country. But after the lockdown time is over comes the crucial question -What should we do in the future?</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto">There I think we should follow a more balanced approach, where we can do more testing now that the test kits are becoming cheap and easily available and do selective isolation. More important is that only certain people above a certain age and with comorbidities are having problems. So, those people must be extensively checked and isolated and the younger population which does not have comorbidities can be left a little more free. But this is only after this lockdown period is over. In my opinion, at present because of the fear of community spread, the lockdown is something that I think was essential although it has its economic consequences. But prolonged lockdown is going to be a big problem. We should limit it to three weeks.</p>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><b>That’s the maximum you feel it should be?<br />
</b><br />
Yes, unless there is a high community spread that we still can’t control. But looking at the curves that we are getting now, it looks like, to some extent, the community spread is being controlled. In a country like ours, it is very difficult to have a complete lockdown for long periods because social unrest will increase.</p>
<p>From the time this virus has started spreading to our country, alongside the scientific evidence being put forth, we are also seeing a lot of unscientific stuff that is getting circulated on social media. Some are saying that the virus will not survive in hot weather, some are of the view that the young won’t get affected and that only if you are 60+ there is a high risk of death.</p></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"><b>There is fear, there is panic — maybe genuine, maybe unfounded. Can you kindly elaborate?</b></p>
<p>So, I think the first thing is there are a lot of myths and a lot of fake news going around. The most important thing is that we should not panic. This is not such a dangerous situation that we should panic. We should not look at what is happening in Italy and France and think that this will happen here.</p>
<p>The second thing is that this virus, for some reason, does not affect children below the age of 10 years. There are some case reports but not so many.</p>
<p>And in the elderly, it is not the biological age that is important, it is the physical age. So, generally, above the age of 70 years, if somebody has comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, cancer and so on, then this virus can attack in a more severe way. Otherwise, those who are above the age of 60-65 should not worry. For a normal person, as long as he/she is healthy, it does not cause any major issues.</p>
<p>The mortality rate, even among very old people in India, is still not so high as you see in Italy. So, I believe that the panic should go.</p></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">What is not being emphasised is mental health. That is becoming very important because of this panic. Thanks to this isolation and social distancing, people are developing psychiatric problems. Recently, the British Psychiatric Association had a paper that suggested that depression, alcoholism, home abuse, child abuse, suicide are all increasing because of this.</p>
<p>If the lockdown goes on for a long time, this becomes very important.</p>
<p>I think mental health is important because studies have shown that those who are mentally strong and happy, have strong immunity. If we get depressed, we are not happy. So, there are more chances of catching the virus infection. We should concentrate on that.</p>
<p>Positive messages should go to the public. Don’t worry, this lockdown is inevitable and enjoy your freedom during this time. I know with economic problems, other things will also come up but this has to be tackled at the government level.</p>
<p>Now, regarding temperature, there was and there is still a lot of controversy, but a paper was published by MIT, USA, where they have shown the heat-sensitivity of this virus. , This virus is unable to exist for long periods above 32 degrees .</p>
<p>Now, this means several things. In India, it means that hopefully, as we progress into May — when the heat rises — maybe the virus transmission may come down. But indoors, where we are living in air-conditioning or where the temperature levels are cool, the problem still persists. So, temperature may have a role but it might start having an effect only after May.</p>
<p><b>Is this research conclusive?</b></p>
<p>The MIT research is peer-reviewed. It has not been completely published but the peer reviews look positive. There is some evidence that it is a heat-sensitive virus, which may be beneficial, but as I said, this is still preliminary data in an experimental lab. It is not clinically proven.</p>
<p>It might be a bit early to ask you but do you suspect there could be behavioural change post the lockdown? What, in your view, are the precautions that people in general need to take?</p>
<p>I am already seeing these behavioural changes during the lockdown. People are becoming more paranoid, they are becoming withdrawn. I think communication is coming down. So, behavioural change is already seen and is going to increase. I think to counter this, we have to have a message which also gives true scientific facts about this virus because people are watching TV and hearing of people dying and are getting worried. I think we should give a clear indication of what is going to be the outcome of this virus.</p>
<p>Number two, it is difficult in our country but at least in Western countries, they have started home counselling. But I think ultimately, we have to give a positive message. We know that this is a problematic time but the message has to be positive so that the public in general don’t panic because we are already hearing incidents of suicide.</p>
<p>If you look at it, this is a small blip in human history. It is going to go out. In the next two to three months, we will get medicines and in the next 16 months, we will have a definite vaccine. So, by 2022, everybody will forget about the virus because the vaccine is available. But this one year is troublesome, we have to be very strong. There is nothing to panic about, this is something we can easily conquer.</p>
<p>There is also a view that even if it stops for now, there is a risk of recurrence, maybe a couple of months down the line or six months down the line. Is that a possibility?</p>
<p>All coronaviruses which have been seen before are seasonal in nature. The SARS virus, the MERS virus, the Swine Flu — these are all coronaviruses and they are seasonal</p>
<p>But with this lockdown, it is going to be only for one season because after this we are going to get a vaccine and it won’t be a problem anymore. What we have to be guarded against is the next season. Suppose this virus goes down by May/June, we have to be very careful in December, January, February because it might come again next year. But what will happen by that time, in my opinion, is we might not only have medical treatment, but also, testing will become cheap and widespread. So, isolation policies will become more formed and it won’t be like what is happening now and so widespread in nature.</p>
<p><b>If one is isolating, what are the basic precautions that we need to take?</b></p>
<p>So, one of the basic precautions of course is physical distancing — I believe the term social distancing should be replaced by physical distancing. We have to keep a distance of 1 metre from individuals when we are talking and so on. Hand hygiene is very important — now everybody is following hand hygiene. And also, there is strong talk of mobile hygiene. Mobile phones can carry this virus for 48 to 72 hours. So, we should see that we don’t take somebody else’s phone and use it. If you are, use a sanitiser to clean the phone or clean your hands before taking a new phone or giving someone your phone.</p>
<p>Second, we must maintain adequate nutrition. Vitamin C, zinc and vitamin D are very important to build immunity against this virus — you can take these three either as supplements or adequately in your diet.</p>
<p>Some minimal physical activity is important. You should not remain confined to only your house and room.</p>
<p>And of course, fourth is mental health — being positive. These four things I think will help us a lot.</p>
<p><b>What are the lessons that, in your view, we need to take in terms of improving our public health infrastructure in light of what we have seen post the virus outbreak?</b></p>
<p>I think this is a big lesson for us but unfortunately there are also issues in terms of health infrastructure, it can’t be changed in just a few months or years. This is a very long process and it can sometimes take more than decades. You can see that in our country, compared to other countries, health infrastructure is definitely lacking especially when we are dealing with an epidemic like this. We have to work on it. We can’t do it on a massive scale like in other countries but at least we can improve by having more epidemiologists, and having in each state a centre that can deal with epidemics in a very specific way. Also, what will help is having hospitals that are specifically dedicated to epidemics and encouraging doctors and health workers to specialise in this area. So, I think all these are important steps.</p>
<p>Right now, I think our government’s actions have been positive. Hopefully this will also lead them to develop at least a basic infrastructure to deal with epidemics like this in the long term.</p></div><p>The post <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in/dont-panic-about-covid-19-india-can-easily-conquer-padma-bhushan-dr-d-nageshwar-reddy/">Don’t Panic About COVID-19, India Can Easily Conquer: Padma Bhushan Dr D Nageshwar Reddy</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in">Latest News, Breaking News, National News, World News, India News, Bollywood News, Business News, Politics News, Sports News, Entertainment News - CineBuster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Banks have the right (but not the obligation) to allow a moratorium of three months.<br />
It’s a cash flow relief. Not an interest waiver. Interest waivers have to be given by the government, not the RBI.</p>
<p>RBI has made a crpytic statement that has been read something like: You don’t have to pay EMIs for three months.</p>
<p>This is a misconception. RBI said nothing of the sort. Firstly, if you are planning to not pay up your loan or credit card bill, there will be consequences and in credit cards, very hefty consequences. Now, let’s go to the heart of the matter.</p>
<p><strong>What do you mean? Didn’t RBI say no EMI for three months?</strong><br />
No. They didn’t say that at all.</p>
<p><strong>What have they said?</strong></p>
<p><strong>The official line is:</strong></p>
<p>In respect of all term loans (including agricultural term loans, retail and crop loans), all commercial banks (including regional rural banks, small finance banks and local area banks), co-operative banks, all-India Financial Institutions, and NBFCs (including housing finance companies) (“lending institutions”) are permitted to grant a moratorium of three months on payment of all instalments1 falling due between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020. The repayment schedule for such loans as also the residual tenor, will be shifted across the board by three months after the moratorium period. Interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding portion of the term loans during the moratorium period.</p>
<p><strong>It means a few things:</strong></p>
<p>Banks have the right (but not the obligation) to allow a moratorium of three months. Means your bank may not allow it, but my bank may. This applies to term loans (in a subnote, they include credit card dues but that’s a bad idea, we’ll discuss later). This will include home loans, personal loans, car loans, educational loans etc. – anything that has a fixed term. It does not include overdraft accounts, unless that is given as a working capital loan, where they can defer collection of interest for three months.<br />
Interest will continue to accrue. Meaning, you’ll pay interest on the outstanding loan.</p>
<p><strong>Wait. You mean there’s no waiver of interest? How does that work?</strong><br />
Consider this. You have a home loan of Rs. 50 lakh at 8.5% interest for 10 years. The EMI is Rs. 62,000 (approximately).</p>
<p>You have to pay the first installment in April, but you choose to take the moratorium. This means the principal of Rs. 50 lakh attracts interest at 8.5%/12 = Rs. 35,000. So your loan amount at the end of April is Rs. 50,35,000.</p>
<p>You don’t pay in May. Interest applies on the FULL amount of 50.35 lakh now, so it’s a little closer to Rs. 36,000 in May. The total outstanding becomes Rs. 50.71 lakh. After three months, your new principal is Rs. 51.07 lakh. Effectively you’ll have about Rs. 1 lakh in extra interest to be paid to the bank.</p>
<p>The loan stretches three more months at the end, but this Rs. 1.07 lakh extra is additional so either you have to increase the EMI, or something else.</p>
<p><strong>What something else?</strong><br />
After three months, you can pay this Rs. 1.07 lakh to the bank and start back from 50 lakh. Or, you can request the bank to cut your loan interest rate – a cut by 0.5% to 8%, but retaining the same EMI after three months is good enough to cover your payment over the remaining period of the loan.</p>
<p>But wait, I don’t want to pay extra interest. That’s nonsense.<br />
That’s why I say this: Pay if you can afford to. Don’t pay interest for some RBI statement.</p>
<p>Even if your bank doesn’t take your money, does not cash in the ECS mandate, or doesn’t use your cheque, you should pay it up. Only if you can’t afford it because of cash flow issues, should you consider not paying.</p>
<p><strong>What if I want it and the bank’s not giving me a moratorium?</strong><br />
SBI has already said they’ll offer it by default to their customers.</p>
<p>Talk to them. They might listen if they are a good bank. If not, you risk them taking your house (in case of a home loan). On personal loans, you can request them to delay but in the shorter term loans, you basically pay so much more on this extra interest that it’s not worth it.</p>
<p>Either way, you can’t force the bank to do this. The RBI has left it to the bank to decide. But at least they have said the criteria to give such a moratorium needs to be objective (not subjective) so if you meet the rules, you will be given the extension.</p>
<p><strong>There’s no relief here!<br />
</strong>It’s a cash flow relief. Not an interest waiver. Interest waivers have to be given by the government, not the RBI. And the government doesn’t seem to have the money. The relief is that in case you take the moratorium you will not get reported to CIBIL as a defaulter. Useful to get more loans or for your credit history. In other circumstances, if you had trouble paying and asked for the same extension, you would be a “restructured loan” or worse, a “non performing asset” – and that will hurt both the bank and you. The bank has to put more capital against your loan for having restructured it, and you might find it difficult to get loans since a restructure is equivalent to a bad mark on your credit score.</p>
<p><strong>What about Credit Cards?</strong><br />
If you think you can avoid paying this month’s credit card bill, think again.<br />
Credit cards charge a horrendous 36%+ interest per year. A skipped credit card bill means such interest will accrue. Even if there is a moratorium. Then, things get worse. Every subsequent purchase on the credit card will get charged interest from day 1! There is no interest free period once you have any outstanding bill unpaid after the due date.</p>
<p>And then, even worse. Credit cards have notoriously high fees and penalties for late payments. While the RBI has allowed a moratorium it says nothing about waiving such fees or penalties. Even that gets added to your bill.</p>
<p>Finally, the killer. Credit card interest gets charged an additional 18% GST.</p>
<p>In short, don’t do it. Do not revolve a credit card bill even if RBI shouts moratorium from the rooftops.</p>
<p>(Convert it to a personal loan, if you’re in trouble. )</p>
<p>So I can do this on a credit card anyway – pay the minimum and revolve the rest. What relief is this?</p>
<p>Not much, agreed. But at least this will not reflect badly on your credit history. Otherwise credit card users don’t get anything else.</p>
<p><strong>Can I take a loan and take a moratorium on it?</strong><br />
Good try. But no. Because the moratorium will only apply to loans that existed on March 1. Now, unless you have a time machine… If I had a time machine I wouldn’t need a loan. Such smart thinking is why I’m proud of you.</p>
<p>Anyways, is there any reason to use the moratorium on any kind of loan?<br />
There is. Say you’re a business with a term loan of say Rs. 1 cr. of which you were paying back with say 5 lakh a month on EMI.</p>
<p>The business has no income because you have used the money to buy raw material, but building the product is on hold due to the lockdown. Your customers are okay – they are happy to pay you once you can deliver, so you know you’ll get the money – say the money was supposed to be Rs. 15 lakh per month.</p>
<p>You can then hold off on the EMI for three months. After three months, you should have restarted work, and you’ll get the payments of Rs. 15 lakh a month and keep paying Rs. 5 lakh a month back to the bank as a loan.</p>
<p>However, the moratorium would have cost you roughly Rs. 300,000+ (3 lakh+) assuming a 12% interest rate. You can pay that extra cost for getting allowed a delay. And it also means your credit score is not hurt, even though your business is.</p>
<p>I’m furious. This is not what most other people are saying. I thought no EMI meant…. A moratorium means this no matter when it’s said. Educational loans are like that – don’t pay while you’re studying (but interest will accrue) and start paying back after you get a job. The idea of a moratorium isn’t to give you an interest free period, it’s to help with cash flow. A student won’t have income, so asking him to pay while getting educated is a little silly, so he gets a moratorium until he gets a job.</p>
<p>Plus, remember, if the bank had to waive interest, then it wouldn’t pay any interest on its deposits either. But that is not acceptable to us that our fixed deposits earn no interest. So you can’t have a one-sided argument – so the banks will not waive interest.</p>
<p>We know there’s a lot of misconceptions about this rule. It may still require further clarification from the RBI.</p>

The country is witnessing a 21-day lockdown, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to contain the spread of the virus, which has claimed the lives of over many people globally. In this time of crisis actress Pranitha Subhash has pledged her support to a new initiative aimed at supporting the daily wage-earners who have been severely affected by the lockdown imposed to combat coronavirus.<br />
Hungama 2 actress Pranitha Subhash&#8217;s  foundation Pranitha Foundation has  joined hands with the LogicalIndian and Efforts4Good and started an initiative #HelpTheHelpingHands where she will donate Rs 1 Lakh and support 50 families.</p>
<p>Elaborating about the initiative, Pranitha Subhash says &#8220;Our daily wage workers, our house helps, municipality workers, construction workers, auto walla etc are finding it very very difficult right now because they have no source of income. The Government is doing their bit but I still think that all of us should come together &amp; help them. It costs about Rs 2000/- through this crisis per family &amp; I on behalf of Pranitha Foundation I will be supporting 50 families but it is a very small number in the big picture.  Pranitha Foundation has joined hands with the LogicalIndian and Efforts4Good and started an initiative #HelpTheHelpingHands. We are planning to support about 500 families &amp; for this we need your support. Please come forward &amp; donate. Even if you can support one family, it will make a big difference for all of us. The funds will be used by the families to buy medicines, ration &amp; other basis supplies&#8221;.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in/hungama-2-actress-pranitha-subhashs-initiative-helpthehelpinghands/">Hungama 2 actress Pranitha Subhash’s initiative #HelpTheHelpingHands</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in">Latest News, Breaking News, National News, World News, India News, Bollywood News, Business News, Politics News, Sports News, Entertainment News - CineBuster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Owing to the recent lock down announcement with surplus organisations practicing work from home without deducting salaries, actress Harshada Patil is urging people to treat daily wage workers the same way. Harshada Patil says &#8220;I just switched on the TV &amp; saw the workers walking to their villages which is 1800 kms i.e approximately 10 days. I request them to stay wherever they are, they are safe, there is no need to travel. Please trust the government, our PM Modi ji &amp; CM Uddhav Thackeray ji are doing everything in their power to help you. Please do not panic. Walking home is not the solution, infact you are putting your family &amp; your village at risk. Precaution is better than cure. &#8221; further adding &#8220;Also I would like to request the government to please make arrangements for these workers to fulfill their basic needs like food, water &amp; shelter otherwise due to lack to options they will resort to actions they should not do. Or may be arrange transportation for them so that they can go home safely&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This unfortunate situation of Coronavirus has lead to many workers &amp; their families sleep empty stomach. As instructed by PM Modi ji they are also adhering to self quarantine. I request people to please provide them with basic necessities. This is the time to selfless not selfish&#8221; says Ms Patil. Harshada also mentions that there are many programs floating around which are dedicated to help these workers. She urges everyone to do their research &amp; help the program they believe in. &#8220;Apart from these daily wages workers, please pay your house help their wages even if they aren’t coming in. It will feed their families&#8221; adds Harshada.</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in/harshada-patil-requests-people-to-help-the-daily-wages-workers/">Harshada Patil requests people to help the daily wages workers</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.cinebuster.in">Latest News, Breaking News, National News, World News, India News, Bollywood News, Business News, Politics News, Sports News, Entertainment News - CineBuster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<div id=":ny" class="a3s aXjCH ">Bollywood actress and fitness-wellness enthusiast, Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s holistic wellness app ‘Shilpa Shetty App (SS App)’ has partnered with the Government of India’s ‘Fit India Movement’ initiative, and has made its premium ‘21-Day Weight Loss Program’ free for all Indian and global users.</p>
<p>The program offers an eclectic mix of yoga, daily functional exercises, and a meal-by-meal diet plan, for a holistic approach to good health. To keep users active, not just physically but also mentally, the SS App is also offering a 10-minute ‘Meditation for Relaxation’ program absolutely free, to help calm the mind and relieve stress during these testing times. Both these programs will be available to all Indian as well as global users. The impact of fitness and positivity combined can help citizens endure the current situation without allowing the isolation period to demotivate or demoralise them in this crucial time.</p>
<p>Speaking of this tie-up and Ms. Shetty-Kundra’s initiative, Shri Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports said, &#8220;The decision taken by Shilpa Shetty to allow the Indian and global audience to access her fitness programme for free, is commendable. It is during times like these that each one of us should try and extend our support to everyone around us in whatever way we can. Shilpa Shetty is a fitness icon and it will benefit everyone greatly to follow this programme when we are all staying at home and maintaining social distance.&#8221; The Sports Minister launched the programme through his social media handles and shared the link to the App that everyone can access.</p>
<p>Voicing her concerns, Ms. Shetty-Kundra added, “In times like these, it’s important that we stay active and engaged &#8211; physically and mentally. I understand this rather well. So, to do something special for our fellow citizens across the globe, the Government of India’s ‘Fit India Movement’ initiative and Shilpa Shetty App (SS App) have come together. For this period of lockdown that India is in right now, we have made the App&#8217;s premium ‘21-Day Weight Loss Program’ free for all Indian and global users. ‘Health is wealth’; can’t be a better opportunity than this 21-day lockdown to make use of this time to value it.”</p>
<p>Director and co-founder of SSK Osmosis Pvt. Ltd., Mr. Manish Kumar was quoted as saying, “In this time of need, where we know that a fit and healthy mind and body are our main weapons to fight against this pandemic, I feel immensely grateful that we have a medium to help our fellow citizens globally. The digital platform has given us the power and opportunity to be of service to humankind and extend help while enabling the need for social distancing. It is just our way to give back to the society and community.”</p></div>
