    SBI new interest rates

    SBI has announced the new rates of Marginal Cost of Lending Rate (MCLR). The new rates will be applicable from 15 December 2024 to 15 January 2025. If we look at the new rates, the bank has kept it as it is. According to the official website of State Bank of India (SBI), the overnight MCLR is 8.2 percent. At the same time, the interest rate for 1 month is 8.2 percent. The rate for 3 months is 8.55 percent. The rate for 6 months is 8.90 percent and the rate for 1 year is 9.00 percent. Apart from these, the rate for 2 years is 9 percent. The interest rate for 3 years is 9.1 percent. Let us tell you that 42 percent of the bank’s loan is linked to MCLR.

    What will be the effect on EMI

    MCLR is the minimum rate of banks below which no bank disburses loans. That is, the more the MCLR increases, the more the interest on the loan will increase. That is, your EMI will also increase. Due to increase in MCLR rates, the EMI of the loan takers increases on the reset date, however, SBI has given a big relief to its customers by not increasing the interest rates.

    Sri Lanka’s President Anura Kumara Dissanayake will arrive in India on December 15, marking his maiden visit to the neighbouring country after winning the polls a few months ago.

    The Sri Lankan leader will be visiting India from December 15 to 17.

    “This will be the first bilateral visit of President Disanayaka to India after the recently concluded presidential and parliamentary elections in Sri Lanka,” read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

    JioCinema brings comedy thriller series, ‘Moonwalk’ starring Samir Kochhar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Nidhi Singh and Sheeba Chadha, to premiere on 20th December

    Trailer Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxTrvsczwO8

    Jio Prime, Moonwalk

    National, 13th December,2024: JioCinema is all set to bring a quirky tale of heist, love and loyalty with its latest comedy-thriller series, Moonwalk. Starring Samir Kochhar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Nidhi Singh, Sheeba Chadha, and Geetanjali Kulkarni in key roles, the show is all set to premiere on 20th December on JioCinema Premium. The recently released trailer sets the stage for an unexpected battle between two rival thieves—not over a heist, but for love! With a perfect mix of humor and suspense, Moonwalk promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

    Moonwalk pits Tarik Pandey (essayed by Anshumaan Pushkar), Rampur’s best thief, against Maddy (played by Samir Kochhar), Delhi’s top crook, in a battle for both a priceless treasure and the heart of the girl of their dreams, Chandani (played by Nidhi Singh). After a slip-up lands Tarik in jail, Chandani declares a challenge: whoever steals the better item—Tarik’s golden commode or Maddy’s precious necklace—will win her love. Meanwhile, an aging gangster, his son who wants to be a teacher, an uptight cop, Chandani’s jealous ex, and a legendary cellmate, add to the chaos, leading to an unexpected showdown as all players compete for the ultimate prize—a moonrock! Moonwalk is directed by Ajay Bhuyan and produced by Jyoti Deshpande (Jio Studios) and Ajay G Rai (Jar Pictures).

    Sharing his excitement for the show, Samir Kochhar shares, “Maddy is a legend in the world of heists, who executes impossible jobs with unmatched skill and charisma. He is always a step ahead, and beneath his suave exterior lies a darker edge – he thrives on the thrill of deception and bending the rules to his advantage. This character brings surprises as the story unfolds, and that’s what makes it interesting. I’m also excited to do something different this time from my previous roles. Moonwalk is exciting, unpredictable, and has everything the audience will look forward to – complete drama and entertainment.

    Anshumaan Pushkar, who plays Tarik reflected on his experience, saying, Moonwalk has been an exhilarating journey for me, both as an actor and as a part of such a fun and exciting project. There’s something special about working on a project that’s as entertaining as it is interesting, and the energy on set was always filled with laughter and positivity. It truly made the entire experience one of the most enjoyable shoots I’ve had to date, and I’m confident that this joy will translate onto the screen for the audience to feel. What made it even more enriching was the opportunity to collaborate with incredible talents like Sheeba Ji and Samir, who bring so much depth to their craft. This was also one of my first projects, making it all the more special and memorable for me.”

    Nidhi Singh, who essays the role of Chandani, shared, My character, Chandni, is a blend of mischief and innocence, which made portraying her a truly rewarding experience. I particularly enjoyed exploring Chandni’s chemistry with Anshuman and Samir, as their bond evolves in a heartfelt and meaningful way, adding depth to the story. It was also wonderful to work with Sheeba Chaddha again; her talent and warmth made the experience even more special.”

    Stay tuned to this quirky heist with ‘Moonwalk’, premiering on JioCinema on 20th December!

  • Advance Tax Deadline: Can you pay advance tax on 16 December without penalty? know here

    Advance Tax 15 December 2024 Deadline : The third installment of advance tax for the financial year 2024-25 is to be paid by 15 December 2024. However, banks will be closed on 15 December 2024 as it is a Sunday.

    In such a situation, taxpayers may wonder if they can make this payment on 16 December 2024 i.e. Monday? If the income tax liability of the taxpayers is more than Rs 10,000, then it is mandatory to pay advance tax. If the payment is not made on time, taxpayers may have to face penalty and interest.

    – Advertisement –

    Income tax department rules

    According to the Income Tax Department’s circular dated 14 January 1994, if the last date for advance tax payment falls on a public holiday or Sunday and the bank is closed on that day, then the taxpayer gets the next working day for payment. In this case, no penalty or interest will be levied on the taxpayer under Section 234B and 234C of the Income Tax Act 1961.

    Can you pay advance tax on 16 December without penalty?

    The third installment payment for the financial year 2024-25 can be made on Monday, 16 December 2024, as 15 December is a Sunday. In this case, no penalty or interest will be levied on taxpayers. Taxpayers can pay their third installment of advance tax on December 16 without any worry.

    Advance tax: Payment is made in four installments

    Advance tax has to be paid in four installments in the same financial year in which the income is earned.

    15% – till 15 June

    45% – By September 15 (includes 1st instalment)

    75% – By 15th December (includes 1st and 2nd instalment)

    100% – by 15 March

    Who has to pay advance tax?

    If you still have a tax liability of Rs 10,000 or more after deducting TDS on your income, then you will have to pay advance tax. Apart from salary, this also includes income from rent, capital gains, FD interest, or lottery winnings.

    What will happen if advance tax is not paid?

    If you do not pay advance tax or pay it late, you will have to pay a penalty as per section 234B and 234C under the Income Tax Department. The rate of this penalty is 1% per month.

    Section 234B: If you have not paid 90% of the total tax by March 31, then you will have to pay interest at the rate of 1% per month.

    Section 234C: Interest will be charged at the rate of 1% per month for four installments at different times. Hence, it is very important to pay the advance tax on time to avoid additional penalty.

    1. Rebalancing your portfolio

    The stock market started declining in early October this year . The decline has been seen reducing in the last few sessions. However, the value of your portfolio would have decreased due to the decline in October and November. The balance of equity and debt would have changed. This is the right time to take a close look at the portfolio once. If the share of equity in your portfolio has decreased, then you can use the opportunity of market decline to invest in equity. This will balance your portfolio again.

    2. Tax planning

    If you use the old income tax regime, then you should check once whether you have made the necessary investment to claim tax deduction. If you have not done so, then you have time till March for that. To claim deduction under Income Tax Section 80C and 80D, you have to invest before March 31. By checking now, you will know how much more investment you have to make for tax savings. If your health insurance is going to be renewed in January or February, then you have to plan for its premium payment from now. If this is not done, renewal may be missed.

    3. Investment plan for 2025

    Many people increase their investment every year. This is very important to create a big fund in the long term. If you have also planned to increase your investment from next year i.e. January, then you have to prepare for it from now. You can decide the plan by looking at your financial situation as to how much additional investment you can make from January. If you want, you can increase your investment in mutual fund schemes through SIP from January.

    4. Belated return filing

    If for some reason you have missed filing income tax return by 31 July, then you can file belated return till 31 December. Income tax return for FY24 can be filed till 31 December with penalty. However, in filing belated return, the taxpayer also has to pay interest on the tax amount. You can take the advice of your tax expert in this regard.

    5. Insurance planning

    If you have not taken term insurance or you have a policy with low cover, then this is the right time to review it. The cover of your life insurance policy should be sufficient for your needs. The cover of your health policy should also be sufficient. By reviewing it at the end of the year, you can plan to increase the cover in the new year.

    Why will there be a holiday in Meghalaya on December 12?

    One of the major holidays of this month will be in the state of Meghalaya on December 12. On this day, a holiday has been declared in the state on the occasion of the death anniversary of *Pa-Togan Nengminza Sangma*, a brave freedom fighter of the Garo tribe. This day is celebrated in honor of the Garo warrior Shaheed Sangma, who sacrificed his life in 1872 while fighting against the British Empire.

    Contribution of Pa-Togan Nengminza Sangma

    Pa-Togan Nengminza Sangma was a courageous freedom fighter from the Garo tribe of Meghalaya who fought fiercely against British rule. In 1872, Sangma and his fellow Garo warriors attacked British soldiers at night in Macha Rongkrek village. Although the British soldiers had state-of-the-art weapons, due to which the Garo warriors suffered defeat, this conflict has made an important place in the history of the Garo tribe. To honor this valor and sacrifice on December 12, government offices, banks and schools will remain closed in the state.

For example, the feast of *St. Francis Xavier* will be celebrated only in Goa, while the death anniversary of *U Soso Tham Shillong* will cause a special holiday in Shillong and surrounding areas. Similarly, other holidays will also be limited to only those regions where the respective festivals are celebrated.

    Online banking services will remain available

    Although working activities in banks may come to a halt during these holidays, online banking services will remain available as usual. Customers can carry out their daily financial tasks such as transactions, bill payments, checking account statements, etc. through internet banking, mobile banking and ATMs. This is a matter of great relief for the customers, because even on holidays they can complete their banking work without any hassle.

    Demand of bank employees

    Meanwhile, bank employees have demanded a *5-day working week* from the government. If this proposal is approved, it will mean that bank employees will be on leave on Saturdays of every week, and not just on the second and fourth Saturdays. This will give employees a chance to rest and balance work life. Although no decision has been taken on this yet, this proposal of the employees is an attempt to change the work culture in banks.

    The list of holidays announced by the Reserve Bank of India in December 2024 includes various national and regional holidays, which will affect the operations of banks. However, online banking services will continue, allowing customers to easily carry out their financial activities even during these holidays. Apart from this, on December 12, there will be a special holiday in the state due to the death anniversary of *Pa-Togan Nengminza Sangma*, a freedom fighter of the Garo tribe in Meghalaya, which will be observed to honor his sacrifice and valor.
