iPhone 16e can be yours for around Rs 35,000, but there's a catch
For example, exchanging an old iPhone 11 brings an additional discount of Rs 13,875. That means the iPhone 16e could be yours for just Rs 35,725. Even trading in an iPhone SE 3 gives you a Rs 12,100 reduction, bringing the final price to Rs 37,500 — a great deal for a device that only launched a few months ago.Of course, the final exchange value depends on your phone's condition and model. To check the trade-in value, visit Amazon, select your preferred iPhone 16e model, and enter the details of your old phone. If your device qualifies for a high exchange rate, you could land a very good deal on Apple's latest entry-level iPhone.But, should you buy it?Even without the exchange offer, using the bank discount alone gets you the iPhone 16e for Rs 49,600. That makes it a sensible choice for anyone looking to buy an iPhone for under Rs 50,000. Yes, spending a bit more will get you the regular iPhone 16, which is technically better — but if you're on a strict budget, the 16e gives you excellent value.Keep in mind that the iPhone 16e skips a couple of features — there's no MagSafe support and no ultra-wide-angle camera. But in return, you get a bright OLED display, the Action Button, Apple's custom C1 modem, the high-end A18 chip, 8GB RAM, and Apple Intelligence support. For the price, it delivers quite a bit.To recap, the iPhone 16e launched globally on February 19 this year. Pre-orders began on February 21, with open sales starting on February 28.- Ends

SBI mobilises Rs 25,000 cr via QIP
State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday successfully raised Rs 25,000 crore through a qualified institutional placement (QIP) of its equity shares, marking the largest QIP ever in the Indian capital markets. The shares were issued at a price above the floor price of Rs 811.05 per share. 'The book received robust demand and was oversubscribed 4.5 times, reflecting strong investor confidence in SBI's strategy and the outlook for India's banking sector,' SBI said. The offering received an overwhelming response, with total subscriptions amounting to Rs 1.12 lakh crore. Foreign investors accounted for 64.3 per cent of total demand, underscoring the attractiveness of India's growth story. Marquee long term investors received 88 per cent of the final allocation, including 24 per cent of the issue size placed with foreign long-term investors, it said. SBI shares closed 0.11 per cent higher at Rs 824.20 on the BSE on Monday. SBI Chairman CS Setty said: 'This landmark equity raise is a vote of confidence in SBI's solid fundamentals, prudent risk management and digital-first growth agenda. We are grateful to both domestic and international investors for their overwhelming support, which also speaks volumes about the current strength and future potential of the Indian economy.' The capital infusion will strengthen SBI's Common Equity Tier-1 (CET-1) buffer, which is set to rise from 10.81 per cent as of March 31, 2025, to 11.50 per cent. This will enable the bank to support measured credit growth across the retail, MSME, and corporate segments.

Govt collected Rs 437 crore as income tax from crypto in FY24, up 63% from FY23
The government collected Rs 437.43 crore as income tax on gains from cryptocurrencies – or Virtual Digital Assets (VDA), as they are called legally – in 2023-24, up 63 per cent from the previous year, the Finance Ministry said on Monday. In a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said that the tax collected on income from VDAs in 2022-23 was Rs 269.09 crore. This rose to 437.43 crore in 2023-24. Data for 2024-25 is not available yet as the due date for filing income tax returns for the year has not passed, Chaudhary said. While India at present does not have any law regulating crypto, the government introduced a flat 30 per cent tax on profit generated through the sale of VDAs starting April 2022, with losses made on the sale of these assets not permitted to be set-off against any other income or be carried forward. Later, starting July 2022, a 1 per cent tax deducted at source (TDS) on cryptocurrency transactions came into effect. 'The Government is utilising data analytics tools to trace and detect tax evasion from VDA related transactions. The analysis includes the use of Non-Filer Monitoring System (NMS), Project Insight and internal databases of the Income Tax Department, to correlate available information on VDA transactions with the transactions disclosed in the return of income by the taxpayer,' Chaudhary further said. He added that while VDA transactions filed in income tax returns were not being matched in real-time with information filed by Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), the TDS returns of these service providers and income tax returns filed by taxpayers were being analysed to identify any discrepancies in reporting of crypto transactions. 'Central Board of Direct Taxes has initiated NUDGE (Non-Intrusive use of Data to Guide and Enable) campaign to identify such discrepancies for further action. Under NUDGE campaign suitable communications, to review and update their income tax returns, were issued to all taxpayers who did not report VDA related transactions in their income tax returns, despite tax being deducted at source for such transactions by VASPs, where the quantum of such discrepancy was more than Rs 1 lakh,' Chaudhary said. The Indian Express had reported last month, quoting sources, that the income tax department is investigating tax evasion and laundering of unaccounted income by high-risk persons through investments in VDAs, with analysis of crypto transaction data showing 'significant violations' of income tax rules. In his response in the Lok Sabha on Monday, the Minister of State for Finance said the government had not made any estimate regarding the projected revenue loss due to under-reporting or misreporting of income from VDA or crypto transactions. The information from the finance ministry on the income tax collected from crypto comes a day after CoinDCX, one of India's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, disclosed that it had suffered a loss of around $44 million, roughly Rs 379 crore, due to a security breach. Meanwhile, another leading Indian crypto firm WazirX was hit by a cyberattack last year which saw hackers allegedly steal more than $230 million of users' holdings. According to a December 2024 paper by New Delhi-based tech policy think-tank Esya Centre, analysis of relevant transaction data from December 2023 to October 2024 showed that Indians traded more than Rs 2.63 lakh crore on offshore crypto platforms, which corresponds to Rs 2,634 crore in TDS owed by offshore platforms. According to the think-tank, the total TDS that has not been collected from offshore exchanges since July 2022 possibly exceeds Rs 6,000 crore. Over the next five years, the think-tank projected, total crypto trading by Indians on offshore platforms could lead to more than Rs 17,000 crore of uncollected TDS.
