The Latest Sneaky Credit Card Fees To Watch Out For
2010-10-14 14:03:00 Many of us are familiar with that little plastic card that has come to our rescue in many a time of distress and has contributed to making our lives that much easier. However, this little plastic card also known as a credit card can also be a source of tremendous stress. And the cause of anguish is not just when you default. There is another less conspicuous yet almost as damaging a factor - hidden card fees. You might be familiar with the recently passed Credit Card Act that aims to ease the financial burden of holding a credit card by reducing the fees you incur and making credit card transactions that much more transparent. Sounds like good news you might say. But before heave a huge sigh of relief, you might want to read through your credit card statement again. In spite of this new law, many credit card companies have come up with new fees and penalties to make up for the fees being prohibited by the Act. The sad part about this is that all these fees are technically legal...

Operators To Fork Out 3G License Fees Before Spectrum Allocation: DoT
2009-12-29 12:45:00 It looks like the picture of 2008 mayhem is still afresh in the minds of bureaucratic leaders. Department of Telecom (DoT) has hinted that telco’s winning 3G licenses will need to submit license fees well within stipulated time of 20 days. The new payment module will ask winning operators to pay 25% of the bidding amount within 5 days of auction and rest within 15 days. This is done to avoid any delay or default in spectrum payment to government as final bidding prices could touch astonishing level due to shortage of spectrum. This decision of upfront license fees payment well before the spectrum allocation is majorly forced by finance ministry which is in urgent need of cash to lower the fiscal deficit pressure. 3G auction was to garner around Rs. 25,000 crores for government with base prices hovering at Rs. 3500 crores. The auction is scheduled to take place in January – 2010 although it is rumored to be delayed again by one more month. The spectrum however will only ...
