I also feel that HAL is overplaying the "keen interest". ... So when should we be proud of? When nobody shows interest? I would be proud of a visit from LM CEO or BOEING CEO. Because they are superior competitors and such visit reflect the threat posed by HAL to their markets. With UAE, w...

There is nothing to be proud of UAE minister's visit to HAL. They are simply planning to develop their own aircraft industry. All HAL is doing is introducing technology to a future competitor.

i.e. Two different IR signatures.

Another interesting coincidence is the prediction of a clash between India and China in a report authored by Indian Army or some Indian defense think tank.

Welcome Theo, really missed your commentaries on many of the threads here.
I have to admit that I expected the worst, since your last post was just before the onset of Chennai floods one and a half years ago.
I'm glad you are back.
Your comments add value to many of the discussions.

I wish the government gives tax benefits to those who pay through Rupay/etc... credit / debit card or via digital transaction.

I think demonetisation has become a lost opportunity and is fast becoming a self inflicted tragedy. Instead of pushing digital transaction UPI pay and decreasing the transaction cost they are bringing in some aadhar pay, encouraging PayTM and printing more and more paper notes and probable importing...

Somewhere in the middle of this thread, somebody commented that of theprivate banks only ICICI ATM has money while AXIS always ran dry. another mentioned it could be the clout of the bank with RBI. It looks like now we know the reason.

Secondly, no one from ICICI is caught so far. Something fishy.

Your calculation makes sense. In another news article, RBI has already printed 3 lakh crore worth of 2000 Rs in Mysore. Thats why the number of errors in 2000 Rsnotes are minimal. But there is no mention of the amount of 500 Rs notes. RBI should consider bringing in more low denomination notes from ...

^^Possibly numerical conversion error. The cost of demonetisation for the RBI was 12 thousand crore as doing the rounds in news. It is not 12 lakh crore.

^Thats why I keep telling the interest rate on existing loans and new loans has to be reduced, But the RBI is not forcing it, so far.

Somehow the government has screwed up. Out of 12lakh crore only 6+ got accounted so far.
