EPFO brings “life certificate” visits to your doorstep for free — what EPS pensioners should know

India’s Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has introduced a free doorstep service allowing Employees’ Pension Scheme pensioners to submit their Digital Life Certificate from home, in collaboration with India Post Payments Bank. “The service will be totally free for the pensioners,” EPFO said in a circular cited by local media. The move comes as pensioners once again grapple with the yearly hassle of proving they’re alive to continue receiving pension payments—a process that often involves travel, long lines, and multiple biometric scans. EPFO and IPPB are now offering home visits as a solution for seniors and others who find it difficult to use phones, visit banks, or go to EPFO offices.

EU Tariff Relief? BYD, Xpeng Shares Jump on Plan to Swap Chinese EV Duties for Minimum Prices

EU Tariff Relief? BYD, Xpeng Shares Jump on Plan to Swap Chinese EV Duties for Minimum Prices

Shares of BYD and other Chinese EV makers surged Tuesday following a European Commission hint that import tariffs might be swapped for a minimum-price mechanism. BYD jumped as much as 4.8% in Hong Kong, Xpeng climbed 5.3%, and SAIC Motor’s Shanghai-listed shares rose up to 3.6%. This development is significant since the EU’s tariffs on China-made EVs are at the heart of Brussels’ toughest trade battle with Beijing. European automakers, facing competition from lower-priced Chinese models gaining ground, have been demanding clear answers. Now, the discussions seem to be edging toward a negotiated settlement rather than further escalation.

XRP price at a crossroads: rebound to $2.14 meets Senate crypto bill and a $2.22 test

XRP price at a crossroads: rebound to $2.14 meets Senate crypto bill and a $2.22 test

XRP climbed roughly 4% to $2.14 during early New York trading on Wednesday, following a choppy session where it dropped to $2.05 before surging to $2.18. Late Monday, U.S. senators rolled out draft legislation aimed at setting clear rules for crypto tokens and deciding which agencies would regulate parts of the market—a move the industry has been pushing for years. The bill proposes giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission control over spot crypto markets and limits on interest paid just for holding dollar-pegged stablecoins, though some activity-based rewards would still be permitted, Reuters reported. Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association, flagged “relentless pressure” from big banks over the stablecoin rules, while Cody Carbone, CEO of The Digital Chamber, described the bill as “encouraging” progress.

BYD and Xpeng pop as EU hints at a minimum-price alternative to China EV tariffs

BYD and Xpeng pop as EU hints at a minimum-price alternative to China EV tariffs

Shares of Chinese electric-vehicle makers rose in Tuesday trading after the European Commission mapped out a route that could let exporters swap EU tariffs for minimum price commitments. BYD climbed as much as 4.8% in Hong Kong, Xpeng gained 5.3% and SAIC Motor’s Shanghai-listed shares rose as much as 3.6%. The rally comes as Brussels tries to contain a trade fight that has become a sore point with Beijing and a pressure point for carmakers selling into Europe. The Commission finalised an anti-subsidy probe in October 2024 and imposed definitive countervailing duties — extra import charges meant to offset subsidies — ranging from 7.8% to 35.3% on battery-electric vehicles from China.
