Statistics say there are around 60Mn credit cards users in India 🇮🇳 and we are an underpenetrated market as compared to western countries. Millions of new Credit Cards get issued by leading Indian banks every year but the concern is do they promote any formal education about it?
Credit Cards are one of the most profitable businesses for banks, just check the annual reports of HDFC and SBI Cards.
After Air India, Domino’s Pizza is joining the party, I incapable every time when I see a cyber attack. Actually, we and our government doesn’t seem takings data protection and cybersecurity seriously.

Data breaches are common these days and it becomes difficult when it contains sensitive and financial information such as credit, debit card details, password etc.
In order to protect yourself here are few things which you can consider-
I’m fucking frustrated with some shameless companies, despite DND, emails and requests these scammers don’t leave a chance to irritate.
I’m filing an appeal with regulators, name the company and do share your experience. I promise to take it ahead.
I’m starting with PolicyBazaar, Dhani, Rupeek and Bajaj Finserv.
Was doing a product research so had to sign up for feasibility and to review their offerings.
Now they don’t miss a chance to spam me, every day I receive shitty phone calls from their agents!
@Truecaller said 98.5% of all spam calls in India came from domestic numbers obvious due to lockdown and this makes difficult for authorities to identify between commercial and personal usage.
Credit Card Bills aren’t like Electricity Bill and you can literally pay any amount whenever you want, regardless of billing cycle and dates.
e.g - You can pay in advance or even before bill generation date for 0 outstanding. (1/n)
Now this is very important, we’re talking about Payment.

I had started trading in the Equity Market way back in 2016. Had absolutely no idea about the stock market so made a lot of mistakes and have learned some meaningful lessons.
I see people share their profits but showing losses are equally important, Here you go! ⬇️💡🧵
2) Except for some initial losses, I've been profitable in Equity. I never enjoy Intraday trades so BTST and Delivery worked well in my case,
In 2020 IPOs had a major share in making number greens. F&O is a big 'No' unless you’re giving full time and have such a risk appetite.
3) In 2017 I was sitting with around +60k in equity profits and 3 big trades (wrong) turned everything red 🔻 so I'd to take a break.
Tried to fun with F&O in 2020 and again lost a big sum of money, profit of +95k turned into -41k due to some stupid calls and 'GREED.'
