To reduce that lag, RBI has asked banks to reconcile and confirm credits in nostro accounts much more frequently, either on a near real-time basis or at periodic intervals. The regulator said the reconciliation interval should normally not exceed one hour, marking a clear move toward more time-sensitive processing of international inward payments.
Together, the two events underline the Army’s effort to tighten the air-land link on the modern battlefield. The reported demonstration focused on how attack helicopters can work in close coordination with ground forces in hostile environments, including situations involving small-arms fire, shoulder-fired missiles and drones. It also highlighted the role of advanced sensors, fire-control systems and real-time data links in speeding up target acquisition and turning battlefield intelligence into immediate precision strikes.
The work was carried out by researchers at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology. Unlike many existing neuromorphic systems that depend on separate sensing and memory components, this device integrates sensing, synapse-like processing and temporary information storage in one platform, drawing inspiration from the way biological sensory systems operate.
The shift to composite sleepers marks an important upgrade in track infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Railways, these sleepers are lighter than the iron and concrete variants currently used, yet they are designed to carry higher loads, offer better cushioning and allow easier laying and repair. The ministry also said the sleepers can be tailored to local site conditions, which is expected to improve passenger comfort, especially on bridge approaches and turnout sections where ride quality can otherwise be affected.
In a court that lacked a male successor, the child who might have been raised in silk and ceremony was instead forged in discipline. She was raised as a prince in spirit and expectation, trained in governance, diplomacy, and warcraft from an early age.
The MoU was signed by Amit Mohan Govil, Director of FIU-IND, and Rajesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of I4C. According to the release, the agreement is intended to create a more structured framework for collaborative intelligence sharing between the two agencies, both of which play key roles in tackling financial crime and cyber fraud in India’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem.
The research addresses a long-standing challenge in palaeoecology and archaeology. Cereal crops such as wheat, rice, barley and millets belong to the grass family, and their pollen often looks very similar to that of wild grasses under a microscope. Because pollen preserved in sediments can reveal patterns of cultivation, deforestation and settlement across the Holocene period, the ability to reliably separate crop pollen from wild grass pollen is crucial for understanding ancient land use and human activity.
Growth during the fiscal year was broad-based, with five out of six vehicle categories achieving record annual sales, driven by improved affordability, rising consumer demand, and an expanding mix of powertrain technologies.
This test is part of a series designed to validate the parachute-based recovery system of the crew module—the capsule that will carry astronauts. The system is crucial because it ensures that astronauts can return safely to Earth after re-entry.
The initiative is designed to widen public access to credible and informative reading material. Yojana and Kurukshetra have long served as reference points for discussions on governance, rural development and socio-economic policy, while Employment News remains an important source for recruitment notices, career guidance and skill-related updates for job seekers. By placing these resources on WAVES OTT without charge, the government is attempting to make reliable informational content easier to reach for students, aspirants, researchers and general readers alike.
