Right to trade cannot impede on right to life: Madras HC upholds Tamil Nadu's real money gaming regulations
The bench held that the right to conduct trade enshrined in Article 19(1)(g), being a vital fundamental right, cannot be used to deter the people's right to life under Article 21. The petitions were filed by online gaming platforms including Play Games 24x7 Private Limited, Head Digital Works Private Limited, Junglee Games India Private Limited. These companies had challenged the Tamil Nadu Online Gaming Activity (Real Money Games) Regulations, 2025. The main contentions were against the bar on under 18 minors from playing the games, mandatory know your client (KYC) registration with Aadhaar number, playing RMGs during blank hours- from 12 am to 5 am and the compulsory pop-up caution alerts for every thirty minutes after the initial one hour and setting of time bound monetary limits. They also stated the state's act and regulations were repugnant with the Information Technology Act of the Centre. Pointing to the reports on the negative effects of the online RMGs on the physical, mental and financial aspects of a player who in essence is not playing with another human but a pre-programmed computer, the bench held that it would be only fair to ensure the right to life under Article 21 of the player is protected which also encompasses his right to health. It negated the contention of the online gaming firms that the restrictions of blank hours and age limit are paternalistic in nature.

Advantages of Investing in a Mutual Fund
Investing may seem daunting for beginners because of the variety of instruments available. An option that introduces simplicity and structure for such investors is mutual funds. This investment option enables you to invest in different asset classes without having to manage the investments yourself. Whatever your investment goals are, be it: saving for the future, wealth creation over time, or diversification of assets, mutual funds can help you attain them through a well-disciplined process. The article discusses advantages of investing in mutual funds, their nature, availability, and major aspects to keep in mind while investing in them. What is a Mutual Fund? A mutual fund invests the capital from various investors in a pool of diversified mix of securities equities, bonds, and other market instruments. A professional fund manager oversees and manages the funds. Each investor hold units of the fund in the ratio of the amount they have invested. This setup enables people to access numerous types of investment products within one single avenue, thereby making the process of investment easy for people with little knowledge or experience in the markets. Major Benefits of Investing in a Mutual Fund Mutual funds simplify investing, increase transparency, and makes investments easier to retail investors. Some of the significant advantages that make them preferable among a variety of investors are below: Diversification of Investments Mutual funds invest in a combination of asset classes. This diversifies the investment in different industries and companies. A diversified portfolio can assist in mitigating the effects of market volatility. Professional Fund Management A fund manager who has access to detailed market research manages each fund. This enables them to make informed decisions based on data, and also on their previous experience. Investors have access to this professional advice without necessarily learning about the market themselves. Liquidity and Flexibility Open-ended mutual funds may offer liquidity, allowing investors to redeem their units at any time. This ensures funds are available during emergencies or for anticipated expenses. There are mutual funds that have a lock-in period, but many offer daily liquidity. Affordability and Accessibility Mutual funds are available to investors with different income levels. You may begin investing with modest amounts. Furthermore, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) simplify investing by allowing individuals to invest a fixed sum at regular intervals, thus instilling discipline. Transparency in Operations Mutual funds are under the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) purview. Furthermore, a particular fund's details such as its asset allocation, tentative interest rates, and other details are shared before and as well as periodically by the fund house. This helps investors stay informed regarding their investments. Tax Efficiency Alternatives Certain mutual funds are capable of saving tax under sections of the Income Tax Act. ● Equity-linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) is a category that has a three-year lock-in requirement. ● Dividend and capital gain taxation depend on fund type and holding period, offering a degree of certainty in terms of total possible gains. Convenience through Digital Platforms One of the reasons for the growth of mutual funds over the last several years is the availability of several mutual fund investments apps that simplify investing. Using these apps, investors monitor portfolios, make transactions, and view performance. It further allows investors to monitor their investment and make informed investment decisions without having to rely on paper statements or visiting a branch. Sufficient for a Wide Variety of Financial Purposes Mutual funds may be suitable for different financial goals, such as retirement planning, education, or buying a house. This is because there are various types of funds available, namely equity, debt, hybrid, and liquid, being some of them. Investors can choose funds that are suitable for their investment horizon, risk appetite, and desired goal. ● Equity funds can be useful for long-term goals. ● Short-term objectives can be achieved using debt or liquid funds. ● Hybrid funds combine debt and equity to give balanced exposure. Things to Keep in Mind While mutual funds offer numerous advantages, there are a few significant considerations: ● Market-Linked Nature: Fund performance is subject to market fluctuations. Past performance may not accurately indicate potential future outcomes. ● Fees and Charges: Mutual funds have fees such as fund management fees and exit fees. ● Selection Process: Investors must review their fund goals, risk tolerance, and past performance before investing. Additionally, Investors should also read the offer documents and understand the product prior to making a decision. Conclusion Mutual funds offer a disciplined method of investing in financial markets with the benefits of professional management and diversified risk exposure. They are suitable for both novice and experienced investors because of their flexibility, transparency, and convenience. Additionally, with digital services such as mutual fund investment apps, investment in financial markets is simplified. However, it is important to approach mutual fund investing with a degree of awareness about its advantages and potential risks, considering the market-linked nature of the product.
