The SUD Life NIFTY Alpha 50 Index Pension Fund blends equity market exposure with the disciplined savings framework of a unit-linked pension plan. Vivek Jain, Chief Business Officer of Life Insurance at Policybazaar, says, 'In India, retirement planning is often seen as a balancing act between cautious savings and the hope of market-linked growth. The SUD Life NIFTY Alpha 50 Index Pension Fund is designed to utilise India's high-growth sectors while prioritizing long-term stability.
'
Unit-linked pension plans are a good way to build a retirement corpus. However, pension plans from life insurance companies have higher charges compared to the ultra low-cost New Pension System (NPS). The NPS also offers greater choice and flexibility to investors.

Explainer: As Sebi set to launch UPI IDs for market intermediaries, 5 things investors should know

Investors can choose their preferred mode of payment while transacting with stock market intermediaries, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has clarified, saying that investors can choose their preferred mode of payment, such as UPI, IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, or Cheques. On Wednesday, the capital markets regulator issued a circular, making it mandatory for Sebi-registered intermediaries to obtain UPI IDs. Sebi said that it will issue UPI IDs for all Sebi-registered intermediaries who collect funds in a bid to avoid frauds and trading scams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Articles Vally Undo The new ecosystem will facilitate a secure and transparent payment system for investors to pay their money only to registered intermediaries. 5 things investors should know: 1) Is it compulsory for the investors to use the new handle only? No. The investors can choose their preferred mode of payment, such as UPI, IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, or Cheques. If an investor opts to use UPI for the payment to registered intermediaries, then they have to do so only using the new UPI IDs allotted to registered intermediaries. 2) What should I check while making payment using the new UPI IDs/ QR Code? 4 things: One is the UPI ID should properly show the name of the intermediary, followed by the short abbreviation of their category for example 'brk' for Brokers, 'mf' for Mutual Funds to the left of the '@' character. Second should be the new and exclusive handle '@valid' on the right side of the @ followed by the bank name. Third, on the confirmation screen, the app should show a white thumbs-up icon inside a green triangle. Fourth, the QR code generated using the utility will have a white thumbs-up icon inside a green triangle. It will also display the UPI ID just below the QR code.

No, the new UPI IDs are only for intermediaries to obtain and investors can continue to use their existing UPI IDs. 4) Whom to approach if my transaction/ payment fails with the new UPI ID? The secure validated UPI ID of intermediaries will use the same banking channel as the earlier generic UPI handles. In case of any technical difficulty, investors are requested to approach their respective bank. 5) The standardised, validated and exclusive UPI IDs will be available for investors for making payments to intermediaries w.e.f.

Trump teases 'Gold card' for US residency again as skepticism mounts

TOI correspondent from Washington: MAGA supremo Donald Trump once again teased the imminent arrival of "Trump GoldCard," with his minions claiming millions of foreigners are waiting to fork out $5 million each to buy American residency and a path to citizenship. Almost 15 weeks after he announced the new visa program would be rolled out in two weeks, Trump unveiled a sketchy website that merely said that "The Trump Card is Coming" and asked those interested to "Enter your information below to be notified the moment access opens." There was no date and no details of the program. Patchy details previously announced by the administration said the program, intended to replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, is aimed at granting permanent US residency and a "potential path" to citizenship for wealthy foreigners with a "gold car" on payment of $5 million. Unlike the EB-5 program, which requires investments in job-creating businesses, the Gold Card, now dubbed "Trump Card" appears to involve a straightforward $5 million payment without specific job creation requirements Trump and his lackeys have thrown out fantastic numbers, talking up the prospect of attracting more than 1 million foreigners paying $5 million each to generate $5 trillion, a sum that could pay down the country's mounting debt that now stands at $36 trillion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo While MAGA diehards seem resentful of US citizenship sold in such a crass manner to foreigners, others are fantasizing about millions of foreigners paying off the US debt and creating a surplus. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed in March that he had "sold" 1,000 cards (in the yet to be rolled out program), generating $5 billion, and that Elon Musk "is building the software right now" for the application process. But there is widespread skepticism, about both the legitimacy of the programs and the tall numbers, with some experts estimating that only 20,000–30,000 non-American centimillionaires (with a net worth of $100 million and above) globally could afford the $5 million fee, far below the 1 million targeted by Trump. There is a ceiling of 10,000 visas annually for the existing EB-5 program and even that, requiring an investment of only around 1 million, is not filled in some years. Trump has announced that there will be no ceiling on the so-called Gold Card. In further sweeteners to 'wealthy and successful' individuals Trump hopes to attract to the US from across the world, he has said they would not be required to pay taxes on their global income. US lawmakers, including some Republicans, are also in a wait and watch, arguing that creating a new visa category requires congressional legislation, a power reserved for Congress under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The executive branch, they maintain, cannot unilaterally grant permanent residency or alter tax laws for foreigners. MAGA diehards have more fundamental concerns -- about a US overrun by wealthy foreigners replacing poor immigrants.
