Unsafe Governement Bank Lockers- contents gone without robbery? Robberies mostly in Governemnt Banks?

Can we trust Governement Bank Lockers ?

1. In this case of Punjab National Bank , Rs 100 crore worth of contents were robbed using a highly skilled process to dig tunnel. The bank  did not follow norms for constructing Lockers.


The bottomline is police have registered two criminal cases: A case of burglary registered on a complaint from bank officials; another case registered against the bank officials by the owners of the lockers who alleged that the bank didn’t construct the locker room “as per norms of the currency chest”; did not install a “steel plate into the floor”; and that the “almirahs in the bank were also 60-70 years old”. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/the-great-bank-robbery-clues-a-razor-blade-soil-and-thin-air/#sthash.FtUpy6lM.dpuf

2. Robbers recently broke into the strong room of a Punjab and Sind Bank branch in Jalandhar and emptied out 36 lockers in an incident that stands out as a grim reminder of the abysmally poor security infrastructure at financial facilities in the country.
3. Another incidence when the contents were gone without a sign of robbery !!
Arushi Gupta: My mother has a locker in a branch of a public-sector bank in Preet Vihar since 2004. Last December, she had opened the locker and found everything in order.
But on January 9, she found all the jewellery missing and the locker completely empty. There were no signs of a break-in -- it seems like an insider's job. But the bank does not seem bothered by our complaint. The police too are not doing much on our FIR.  What should we do?
4. There was  a burglary at the Chirgaon branch of the Central Bank of India in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. As many as 45 lockers had been robbed in the November 2010 episode.

Communist party launches 'China Operating System' to oust iOS and Android

hina officials have launched a national operating system in an attempt to take back control of the country’s computer market from American companies such as Google and Apple. The software has been in development for more than a year, but has been released at a crucial time with revelations about US-led surveillance sparking fears over the integrity of American-designed software. Known simply as the China Operating System, or COS, the software can run on PCs, tablets and smartphones and has been based on the open-source Linux operating system. Chinese media say that the OS has been created “entirely independently” in order to provide better localization for a range of features – from Chinese-language keyboards, to integration with the country’s banks. At the launch of the event, one of the developers involved with the project reportedly criticized Western software , saying that Apple’s iOS was too closed, that Google’s Android OS suffered from fragmentation (ie, too many versi...

How to use home loans most effectively for tax benefits

1) Deduction on interest: If you are paying EMIs for a home loan you took to buy a house, the interest component in the EMI can be claimed as deduction. You must be both an owner and a co-borrower (in the loan) to claim tax benefits. This deduction can be claimed starting the year in which the construction of the house is completed. Suppose the construction of your house was completed on August 30, 2014, you can claim deduction for interest for the entire 12 months in financial year 2014-15. So every year a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh can be claimed for a house that you use for your own residence. If your house is rented, the entire interest for the year can be claimed as deduction. The interest payments for the year shall result in a loss under the head 'income from house property'. This loss can be adjusted against in the same year against other heads of income in your income tax return including salary. Therefore, it reduces your total taxable income and the tax you pay thereon. A...
