UP Real Estate Good News: यूपी में लैंड-यूज चेंज की दरें हुई आधी! अब 6000 वर्ग मीटर तक के नक्शे तुरंत होंगे पास, यूपी सरकार ने 50% तक घटाया लैंड-यूज कन्वर्जन चार्ज

SUMMARY
# यूपी में लैंड-यूज चेंज की दरें हुई आधी!

उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार ने रियल एस्टेट सेक्टर को बड़ी राहत दी है। लैंड-यूज कन्वर्जन चार्ज में 50% तक की कटौती की गई है, जिससे कृषि भूमि को आवासीय या व्यावसायिक उपयोग में बदलना अब सस्ता होगा। साथ ही 6000 वर्ग मीटर तक के नक्शे अब तुरंत पास किए जाएंगे, जिससे छोटे बिल्डरों और आम लोगों को तेजी से अप्रूवल मिलेगा। इस फैसले से हाउसिंग प्रोजेक्ट्स की लागत घटेगी, प्रॉपर्टी की कीमतें कम होंगी और निवेश बढ़ेगा। यूपी में रियल एस्टेट सेक्टर को बूस्ट मिलने की उम्मीद है।

छोटे-छोटे UPI पेमेंट खाली कर रहे जेब? महीने भर के खर्चों का ऐसे रखें हिसाब

SUMMARY
# UPI के छोटे-छोटे खर्चों से खाली हो रही जेब? ऐसे रखें हिसाब

UPI से छोटे-छोटे पेमेंट करना आसान है, लेकिन ₹10-50 के ट्रांजैक्शन मिलकर महीने में बड़ी रकम बन जाते हैं। इससे बचने के लिए बजट ऐप जैसे Walnut, Money Manager या Google Pay की ट्रांजैक्शन हिस्ट्री रोज़ चेक करें। महीने की शुरुआत में खर्च की लिमिट तय करें। ज़रूरत और शौक के खर्चों को अलग-अलग कैटेगरी में बांटें। हफ्ते में एक बार खर्चों की समीक्षा करें। UPI ऑटो-डेबिट बंद करें और कैश-बैक के लालच में फालतू खर्च से बचें। अनुशासन से ही बचत संभव है।

Keralam power crisis: Electricity consumption soars in September

SUMMARY
Kerala is facing a severe power crisis as electricity consumption surged dramatically in September due to extreme heat and reduced rainfall.

Video: US forces take out floating refuelling station allegedly tied to drug trade

SUMMARY
The US Coast Guard and Navy intercepted and destroyed a floating refueling station in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, believed to be linked to drug trafficking operations. The makeshift platform was allegedly used by drug smugglers to refuel semi-submersible vessels and go-fast boats transporting narcotics, primarily cocaine, from South America. Authorities dismantled the station to disrupt cartel supply chains. The operation is part of ongoing US counter-narcotics efforts targeting maritime drug corridors used by transnational criminal organizations.

NSE Share Price: एनएसई का शेयर महंगा या सस्ता? इस दिग्गज एक्सपर्ट ने दिया सवाल का जवाब

SUMMARY
# NSE Share Price: क्या एनएसई का शेयर महंगा है या सस्ता?

नेशनल स्टॉक एक्सचेंज (NSE) अभी अनलिस्टेड मार्केट में ट्रेड होता है, जहां इसकी कीमत काफी ऊंची है। दिग्गज मार्केट एक्सपर्ट्स के अनुसार, NSE का वैल्यूएशन इसकी मजबूत रेवेन्यू ग्रोथ, ट्रेडिंग वॉल्यूम और मोनोपॉली जैसी पोजीशन को देखते हुए जस्टिफाइड है। हालांकि, IPO की अनिश्चितता और रेगुलेटरी चुनौतियों को देखते हुए कुछ एक्सपर्ट्स इसे मौजूदा भाव पर महंगा मानते हैं। निवेशकों को लॉन्ग टर्म नजरिए से सोच-समझकर फैसला लेना चाहिए।

Stem cell therapy for autism only in approved clinical trials: Centre

SUMMARY
India's Union Health Ministry has directed that stem cell therapy for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) should only be administered within approved clinical trials, not as a commercial treatment. This follows concerns over unregulated clinics offering unproven stem cell treatments to vulnerable families, often at exorbitant costs. The Centre emphasized that no established, scientifically validated stem cell cure for autism currently exists. The directive aims to protect patients from exploitation and ensure safety standards, urging compliance with ICMR and CDSCO guidelines for clinical research protocols.

Penny stock under 10 rupees hits 5% upper circuit following Indian stock market rebound

SUMMARY
A penny stock priced under ₹10 surged to its 5% upper circuit limit amid a broader Indian stock market rebound. The rally was driven by renewed investor confidence as benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty bounced back strongly after recent corrections. Penny stocks, known for high volatility and speculative trading, often witness sharp moves during market recoveries. Experts caution retail investors to exercise due diligence before investing in such low-priced stocks, as they carry significant risks including low liquidity and limited fundamentals.
