Pay the minimum on ₹1,00,000 and a year later you have paid ₹65,046 and still owe ₹84,051. The same debt worked four ways at published rates, what the minimum amount due is really made of, and the RBI rules issuers get wrong.

The Code on Social Security defines you, registers you and sets up a fund for you. A year on, no scheme has been notified under section 114, no contribution rate has been fixed, and the only state collecting the money is having it held by a High Court. What is yours now, what is promised, and what the codes do not cover.
No offence, no case, no conviction, and still a magistrate can require you to sign a bond. What sections 126, 130, 135 and 136 of the BNSS actually say, why an interim bond is a different thing from a one-year bond, and what the chapter entitles you to at each step.
The labour codes push basic pay to half of your salary, so PF and gratuity take a bigger slice. Worked numbers on why a 5% raise can leave you with less each month, the PF policy question that decides it, and what to get in writing before you accept.
A 3% dearness allowance increase from 1 July 2026 takes the rate to 63% and costs ₹10,016.10 crore a year. We ran the government’s own formula against the price index it uses: it gives 63.77%, the fraction is dropped, and across 1.17 crore people that fraction is worth about ₹2,560 crore.
The caption page of the federal indictment lists the counts beside each defendant’s name. Lucas faces five. Her business partner Carlton Upton Jr. faces six. The full count-by-defendant map, the eight days the document spent under seal, and what the honest services count has to prove.
The agency’s own release separates 42 million records corrected from 8.5 million it is “currently in the process of correcting”. The “nearly 50 million” headline and the “nearly 15 percent” both need the unfinished third to reach their figure.
CBDT Circular 07/2026 moved two dates, and the one that binds first is 21 October. Why the audit date followed the return date automatically, why transfer-pricing cases were never in the extension, and what the circular does not say about section 234A interest.
The barrel behind five analyst target raises for Chevron this month is costing Indian refiners money on every litre they sell. Why ICRA says ₹8 a litre and Jefferies says ₹26, and what the Delhi board would read if either were passed on.
The Justice Department confirms a judicially authorised warrant but not its target or purpose. What is on the record, what unnamed sources say, the Justice Manual’s approval rule for searching a member of Congress, and the time limits on the allegations aired in public.
About 2,000 to 2,500 people were detained in Delhi on 10 October. A day-by-day account of the week, what BNSS section 126 says a peace bond does and does not forbid, and a minister’s defence of the voter-roll deletions set against Election Commission data.
India made 249 for 5 in Ranchi and lost with nine balls left. The dropped catch that turned it, the two innings checkpoint by checkpoint, Ashwin on how Hope fed Samson, and the records from a 501-run night.
The IRS opened accounts automatically from 1 October, and a new Treasury rule lets charities give individual shares like SpaceX. Section 530A, the rule that reconciles them, and what $1,000 actually grows to by 18.
Rates, banking, savings and markets — what each change actually costs you, worked out.

The quake struck at 10:23 pm on Tuesday, about 280 km from Delhi. The NCS and USGS figures side by side, every magnitude 4+ quake near Delhi since January 2025, two wrong numbers in circulation, and the seismic-zone map that was withdrawn.
Legislation, court rulings and elections — what changed, who it affects, and what it costs.
