#Banks are not liable to cough up payments if you have been a victim of fraud or scams

businessinsider.in/finance/banks/…

By @pabsgill
@pabsgill If you have been a victim of a bank fraud or somebody has scammed money out of your bank account, the bank is not liable to compensate you for your loss, according to a consumer court in Gujarat.

#Banks
@pabsgill The Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission in Amreli denied compensation of a victim of fraud who got duped of ₹41,500. The court believes that the fraud occurred due to the individual’s own negligence, alleviating any responsibility on the art of the bank.

#Datacracy | Being #GDPR compliant doesn't necessarily make companies ready for India's upcoming data protection laws

#dataprotection

By @pabsgill Image
@pabsgill India is ready to take a stab at formulating its first laws to govern data & it is using the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (#GDPR) as the template. For companies operating in India, this could end up being a stick in the mud.

By @Kavitamajumdar
The idea of coming face-to-face with a tiny garden snake is enough to make most tremble, but for Gowri Shankar, a wildlife biologist with a passionate love for the King Cobra, it was an incentive to quit his job and make a beeline for the rainforests of Agumbe in Karnataka.
Shankar and his wife Sharmila have now set up and run two organisations - Kalinga Centre for Rainforest Ecology (KCRE) and a non-profit organisation called Kalinga Foundation. Anyone from a software engineer to a photographer or even an organic farmer can join the workshops...

The probe into the threat to #MukeshAmbani⁠ has already claimed a life ⁠— here’s a look at the characters in India’s latest potboiler

businessinsider.in/india/news/the…

By @iyer_sriram
On February 25, a car with gelatin sticks (can be used to make explosives) and a threatening letter, was found outside Antilla⁠ — it has 27 storeys, 400,000 square feet, and is worth over $1 bn ⁠— the home of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, the owner of Reliance Industries.
The death of the car’s owner has taken the story from a series of ridiculous tales and conjectures to a murky account constantly stirred by political opportunism. The authenticity of the original threat, or the possible motive behind it...

It has taken over 7 years for India to revamp its #cybersecurity policy — experts say there's room for carrots and sticks but not surveillance

businessinsider.in/tech/news/indi…

By @pabsgill Image
