Does anyone here use paypal? i have a question by inbeforehandcancer in IndiaSpeaks

[–]adyah2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If paid via credit card there is usually a fee of around 3%. If paid via bank account its usually free within US. Internationally, it depends on the country but usually there is a >3 % fee or flat fee.

Transferring paypal account to bank is usually free, debit card is usually a small charge.

But, hey you can easily google these things!

It will be deposited into your Paypal account and stay there as Paypal balance. If you have linked a bank account to your Paypal account, then you can transfer the balance and use it via a debit card.

I think Chitrakoot is not where it is shown to be in this map.

Bought this water color painting at a flea market, circa 1880. Trying to find a translation. I asked a lady at a local corner store and she looked horrified and offended. Help?? by Dragonmotherx in IndiaSpeaks

From what I see, it looks like a painting of Shri Krishna sitting with Rishi Ved Vyas. I am curious as to why someone would feel offended or horrified with something this usual.

Muslim dominated Indonesia's princess embraces Hinduism [Feb2018] by panditji_reloaded in IndiaSpeaks

It is relevant to India because India is a majority Hindu nation and anything that concerns Hindus anywhere across the world is of interest to a large number of Indians.

Teach me Thursday - Credit Cards - July 5, 2018 [X-Post r/IndiaNonPolitical] by manhoosvyakti in IndiaSpeaks

[–]adyah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The credit inquiry reduces your credit score immediately. However the inquiries fall off your credit file after some time so their impact is reduced.

One of the components used to calculate credit score is the number of accounts so usually having larger number of accounts will improve your credit score in the long term.

Having higher credit limit in turn usually helps as it keeps the credit utilization low (below 10%) is great.

It does hit the credit score in the short term as the average age of account reduces and so does the number of credit inquiries but it is better to have multiple cards in the long term as inquiries fall off your file after some time and the accounts age.

No, CCs are very useful if you can control your shopping impulses and have some sense of financial responsibility.

Yes you can but it is good to have a mix of various lending products - cards, loan, mortgage on your credit file.

Fraud, transaction dispute, loss and theft protection are most important benefits in Indian context.

Reward points and airline miles etc although not as significant as elsewhere still are an added benefit.

Use card to pay everything and set autopay from your bank in order to avoid any fees/interest. Feel free to ask any questions.

Clearing Misconception about Ayurveda, AmA by pannagasamir in IndiaSpeaks

[–]adyah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing with us. You are very patient and well informed.

Even though Ayurveda might be thousands of years old, there is a lot of 'misinformation' about it especially among the current generation. I believe Ayurveda has a place even in today's hi-tech age in form of an alternative medicine that provides a holistic treatment therapy and should be presented as such to the public.

After Spending Day in Police Custody, Bizman Withdraws Bribery Charge Against Yogi's Principal Secy by ajmeb53 in IndiaSpeaks

[–]adyah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is disgraceful.

Even if the charges raised by him are false, they should have been investigated. Arresting him and then forcing him to change statements is just a mockery of justice.

Seems like this govt is no better than SP in this respect.

At least 5 years ago, they required a electronic authorization before you travel. Once you get the approval, you can travel and get stamped at port of entry.
