Your New Cheques
December 21, 2012 2 Comments
The new Cheque Truncation System (CTS-2010) will eliminate physical movement of cheques for clearing. Instead, only their electronic images, along with key information, will be captured and transmitted. It will make the clearing process more efficient, secure and quicker.
If you have ordered your cheque books recently, say, a month ago, you may already have the new cheque leaves with you. Since most banks have already migrated to the new system, chances are that your bank would have sent you CTS-compliant cheque leaves.However, if you have received the cheque book more than two or three months ago, you need to run a status check. For instance, the compliant ones will have the new rupee symbol inscribed near the numerical ‘amount’ field.The new cheques will also have “Please sign above” mentioned on the cheque leafs on right had side bottom; and, a void pantograph (wavelike design) embossed on left hand side of the CTS cheque leaf.

Should You Buy A New Car In December?

Savvy car buyers always wait for the month of December to buy new cars as the manufacturers and their dealers offer exciting discounts during the year-end to clear inventory. This year, it is even better thanks to a depressed economy and sluggish car sales. For example, you can pocket a discount of close to Rs 75,000 on Ford Fiesta, Rs 75,000 on Fiat Punto, Rs 25,000 on a Wagon R, Rs 30,000 on Mahindra Verito, Rs 60,000 on Chevrolet Spark and so on.Interestingly, due to the rise in petrol prices, there is a huge demand for diesel cars this year. That is why the discounts are mostly on the slow-moving petrol models with little or no discounts on the diesel variants. Here is a list of the best deals in town: http://www.bsmotoring.com/storypage.php?autono=6110
So should you grab one of the current offers?Your decision should be based on how long you plan to use the car, how much you drive daily and after calculating whether the current discounts work in your favour. Read more of this post

1 Give up
When it comes to business success stories,a common trend you’ll hear is that the founders never gave up.
2 Ideas Alone are Worthless
Ideas themselves aren’t worth much, its the people behind the ideas that matter,and how committed they are to executing their vision.
