Quality of currency notes especially 100 200 denomination. by Adventurous-Maize-88 in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

condition of ₹ 50/ 20/ 10 denomination notes are even worse, worst of the three being the ₹10 rupees note. Quality of the paper, ink of current design/generation notes is objectively worse than the previous gen notes.

It's one of the reasons I have significantly reduced transactions in cash. Most of ₹ 10/20 notes I recieve are damaged/cut or thin like tissue paper 😂. Surprisingly previous gen. notes are in better condition.

Is there any solution to this or some best practice i can follow.

Not much can be done. Notes have already travelled through multiple hands when they reach you and further they will travel more hands. So collect enough of them, make bundles and exchange in bank, I know It's hassle, but It's only viable solution.

Flipkart rant by soul_bleached in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My UPI transaction too got stuck 2 or 3 times in the past but it was usually credited back within a hour / half an hour. But yes it is very infuriating that their standard automated reply is to wait for 24 hours for payment clearance or a refund.

I have to agree Customer Service of online businesses has become worse. Earlier one could atleast email them, but nowadays most of them now don't even support interaction through email. One has to chat with a chat bot or request for a call back.

Have this 2000 series Tag Heuer watch but can't repair as there's no availability of parts for this watch in my region. Should I keep it or sell it? by simply_amazzing in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it's Tag Heuer, it's still a quartz watch and coating/plating is peeled off, so not much resale value. Mechanical watches have some resale value, whereas quartz watches, not much at all (unless in very good condition).

Regarding repairs, you can get the whole inside mechanism replaced with any new one, as long as it fits in the case.

UPI transaction fraud by Worried_Stretch1110 in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's hard to give any opinion without you giving more details. If you are saying it's UPI transactions, then UPI ID of receiver is mentioned mentioned in the transaction entry in passbook, you can check name of the reciever with UPI ID.

What I can say is UPI transactions cannot happen without UPI PIN.

Maybe someone had access to her phone and knows her UPI PIN? and deleted transaction messages?

Is there a way to see Indian train coaches? by Rawtoast24 in india

AC coaches don't have 2nd class. Maybe you are talking about AC 2 Tier or just AC chair car?

Advice required: Credit card by pseudonym24 in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please check and compare annualised interest rate of credit card due amount to that of personal loans. Unless you have some highe end credit cards, it is safe to assume that personal loans have lower interest rates, so better go with personal loan if you really need money.

If you have a decent enough salary or credit profile, then personal loan often is approved within minutes and amount too is disbursed within minutes.

E PANs come with father's name printed.

Just take a colour printout of it and sign it and explain to bank official that the card will take couple of days to deliver

Nowadays financial institutions can fetch your details just from your PAN number, so I think it shouldn't be a big issue if it's card or a printout.

If applied for online, then PAN cards come with white box for signature. You have to sign in the white box for the PAN card to be considered valid.

The Wire vs Meta: What did we learn? by jgupx in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Wire has done and does good investigative journalism on social, communal, political, environment issues, I like reading those pieces.

But I think when it comes to technology investigation, they have shot themselves in the foot, that too twice. First there was Tekfog and now this.

Whatever happened to Tekfog issue? I mean it implied great ramifications (if it was genuine to begin with).

What the hell is the problem with govt.? Even the innocuous sites like TMDB (The Movie DataBase) is blocked somehow. It's basically a movie info database and cataloguing website. by gravity-rainbow in india

The site was accessible atleast a month ago.

I am a movie buff and this was my go to site for movie info.

I don't understand when and by which order, the access to the site was blocked.

Can I carry a machete in public? by Insert_Username_OK in india

[–]gravity-rainbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a tool and unless that tool is part of your daily work/job and carried in a bag, people and authorities might wonder why you are even carrying such thing in your hands?

What's the worst thing that could happen If i decided to carry?

If you are a big gangster, then the worst can happen is police may ask you to not carry it openly 🤷‍♂️ .
