Govt sets NPR in action, Amit Shah says it has nothing to do with NRC
The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved fund allocation for updating the National Population Register (NPR), putting the official stamp on a revised pan-India list of “usual residents”, but attempted to distance the exercise from the controversial National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The government said NPR would be linked to the 2021 Census, and would not require a documentation process on the lines of the recently concluded NRC in Assam.
A “usual resident” for the purposes of NPR is defined as a person who has lived in a local area for the past six months or more or a person who intends to live in that area for at least the next six months. Unlike NRC, which is a citizenship enumeration drive, NPR also includes foreigners staying in a locality for more than six months.
“No biometric, no proof or documents need to be given for NPR. We trust our people and so, self-certification will be sufficient in NPR,” said Union information and broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar, while announcing that the Cabinet approved Rs 8,754.23 crore for the Census of India 2021 and Rs 3,941.35 crore for the updation of NPR.

You might have heard people saying that one should start investing early in life to maximize your returns. A common question that usually arises here is, what is the best time to start with your investment journey?
You might have heard people saying that one should start investing early in life to maximize your returns. A common question that usually arises here is, what is the best time to start with your investment journey?
Amongst people of all different ages, it is usually the young adults in their 20s who may feel unsure about the need for financial planning. While the 20s are the time when most of us have a carefree lifestyle and an apparent lack of responsibilities, it is also the right time for you to investment planning. If you are in your 20s, here’s how you can set yourself up for the future.
If you are ready to pave the foundation of the lifestyle you wish for, now is the right time to start investing. Here are a few crucial pointers you should keep in mind:
1. Invest Early to Utilize the Power of Compounding
When people are in their 20’s, they think they have much time to plan for their financial life, believing they would live for the next fifty-sixty years at least. They feel it would make no difference if they start putting off some money and invest it in the right way. Waiting for the right time; however, it can make a massive difference in the investment returns one would get.
Consider this example –
You start investing a few thousand rupees per month at the age of 24 and continue until you are at the age of 60. If you manage to get a five or six percent return during that period, you will have a few crore rupees waiting to welcome you in the retirement age. Now, let’s say you wait till you become 30 to start investing. By the age of 60, you will receive only half the returns as compared to the other choice. The first ten years of your investment can make wonders happen in your life with the power of compounding.
It is no wonder why the great Albert Einstein remarked about compound interest as the eighth wonder of the world.
2. Think of Investing as a Part of Bigger Goals in Life
People are not wrong when they think that investing is not the answer to all their problems. However, investing early does help in beginning the wealth creation journey. One of the best ways to look at investment planning is to associate it with broader financial plans in life. You are advised to consider diverse aspects of your life while starting to invest your money in different assets.
For instance – after you get married and have children, you will need more money to cater to the related expenses. You will have to think about your children’s future, your retirement, and much else. If you are not financially secure in any phase of life, you will be most likely to regret not investing in the earlier time. To be at the safe side, you can invest in Max Life Savings Advantage Plan to achieve both the short-term and long-term goals in life.
So, it would help if you start to think about bigger goals in life and plan investing your money accordingly. At this age, you need not worry about the next rising stock, but focus on building fundamental investing habits to meet the basic investment objectives at least.
