Paypal in India

Background: Founded in 1998, processing almost 12.5 million payments for their customers daily. PayPal is a truly global payments platform that is available to people in 203 markets, allowing customers to get paid in more than 100 currencies, withdraw funds to their bank accounts in 57 currencies and hold balances in their PayPal accounts in 26 currencies. PayPal is an eBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) company.

PayPal is the next big name; India is waiting to hear. Why haven’t we heard the International Payments King roar? That’s because the Reserve bank of India (RBI) wants to regulate the International payments King’s operations int he country.

Problem: In India the PayPal model categorizes into “Inward Remittance” category. For this they do not have a license from RBI to operate in the country. As RBI aims to ensure no loop holes in the payments system with respect to frauds & Money Laundering they have imposed a few limitations on the PayPal model as given below.

RBI wants PayPal to transfer the money to banks within a pre-determined time frame instead of holding the money in its online account. PayPal cant hold money for more than 24 Hours which is opposite of their current payments model.

The limitations imposed on PayPal makes it work like a regular Payment Gateway processor.

Apart from this below are other reasons limiting PayPal in India:-

1. PAN Number Is Required For Indian PayPal User

2. Transaction limitations of $10,000 which was upped from the $3,000 previously. If this money is received it cannot be used like a wallet i.e. to pay for something else.

3. Inter-country payment within India are not allowed.

4. Can be used only for receiving or paying to non-Indian users.

5. Only Debit/Credit cards allowed for paying through PayPal.

There are mixed emotions in the market for the RBI and PayPal relation as there are limitation imposed at one end and there are revision of transnational limits (upped) by RBI.

With recent partnership between PayPal and State Bank of India, country’s premier Bank , entered into a strategic partnership on 21st May 2015 to promote cross border trade and facilitate payments for State Bank of India and PayPal users both in India and abroad.

It’s pretty evident that PayPal isn’t silent at all but working on the back-end for “others ways” to get into the payments space. The recent PayPal tie-ups are great efforts for building confidence among the Indian Banks and RBI. As the payments ecosystem evolves its tough to say what happens next for the payments market or PayPal in India.

How To Make Mozilla Firefox Faster For Web Browsing

Firefox browser from Mozilla is one of the most popular web browsers available. It has a big user base and market share. People prefer Mozilla Firefox due to many reasons like a good variety of extensions and low RAM consumption while running. Mozilla is my personal favorite web browser and I find it simpler and faster than its counterparts.

Today, I would like to share some of my tried and tested techniques to speed up the browsing and make Mozilla Firefox faster than ever.

Method 1: Using pipeline to make Mozilla Firefox faster

Type “about:config” into the address bar and press Enter. Now click “I’ll be careful, I promise!“

Type “pipelining” in the search box

Search for “network.http.pipelining”. By default it’s false, now set it totrue by double clicking on the option.

Now set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to true by double-clicking it.

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 8 (it’s 32 by default) by double-clicking it. This means it will make 8 requests at once.

Now restart your Browser and you will be experiencing a faster browsing.

Method 2: Using Speedup extension to make Mozilla Firefox faster

I personally don’t like a lot of extensions installed in my Firefox browser because they are also responsible for slowing down the browser, so if you are not using any extension for long, please disable them. But there are some extension which can make your page load faster in Firefox.

Fasterfox: This is an official extension from Mozilla Firefox to “Make your Sites Faster than a Fox for Firefox!”

Speedyfox: Another extension to speed up your browsing.

Betterfox: Another official extension by Mozilla “To make browsing experience 15% faster” as it claims.

Method 3: Random methods to make Mozilla Firefox faster

To be honest with you, this is not even a method to mention, but if you are missing these things then you should give it a try:

Clear browsing history regularly.

Removing unnecessary add-ons.

Removing unnecessary toolbars

Block Flash.

Disable Firefox Auto-update(not recommended).

If you follow the step then it will definitely help to increase your browsing speed and provide you a more satisfactory browsing experience.

Everything You Need to Know About Windows 10 Upgrade

Windows 10 launch is just around the corner and Microsoft is expecting to convince as much as users to take the advantage of its free Windows 10 upgrade offer. Now that Windows 10 terms of license agreements are out, we are here to bust the biggest Windows 10 upgrade confusions.

Microsoft has been really unclear in the past regarding its update process. The Windows 10 “as a service” concept has generated confusions like pricing, free security updates and fixes, Windows 10 upgrade path, non-genuine Windows 10 upgrade and much more.

Will I Get Windows 10 for free?

This is one of the most discussed questions at online forums and our readers too constantly ping on our Facebook page regarding the same. Just like the earlier versions, Windows 10 comes with the rights to install and run Windows 10 on a single licensed device.

Microsoft has made clear that any PC running Windows 7, 8, or 8.1, will be getting free Windows 10 upgrade. No hidden means.

I repeat, if you have a genuine copy of Windows 7,8, or 8.1- you’ll get Windows 10 free.

What will happen if I upgrade my pirated Windows OS?

Well, you’ll be seeing a display message on the right-bottom of your screen saying- “This is not a genuine copy of Windows.” Just in case you buy a new system and you get this hologram on your PC, do return it. You’ll be able to work as usual on the pirated copy, but Microsoft hasn’t said anything about the regular updates- so don’t get your hopes high.

When will I get Windows 10 upgrade?

Windows 10 is officially being released on July 29. But, not everyone will be getting the upgrade immediately as Microsoft is releasing the upgrade in phases. If you are a Windows Insider and you’re testing Windows 10 Preview, you’ll be getting the OS before everyone else.

For those who have reserved their Windows 10 upgrade copy, but ain’t running Windows 10 Preview, they’ll have to wait for some time.

Is my PC compatible with Windows 10? Hence, upgradable?

Windows 10 upgrade requires almost the same hardware needed to run Windows 7 or 8. Take a look at the basic requirements:

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)

Free hard disk space: 16 GB

Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

A Microsoft account and Internet access

I’ve heard that Windows 10 is the last version of Windows? Is that correct?

Yup. Windows 10 is the last version of Windows. Microsoft has said that there won’t be any Windows 11 or Windows 12 or anything else. Microsoft wants to change the basic idea of an OS. Redmond says Windows 10 won’t be just an OS, it will be delivered as a service. And, this service model will be governed by the updates.

How to reserve my free copy of Windows 10?

Till now, you should’ve done this. Well, if you haven’t reserved your free copy of Windows 10, look for the upgrade icon in the taskbar and click on it. 

Will I pay regular update fee after Windows 10 upgrade?

No. Windows 10 updates are free. Just like the older versions of Windows, Windows 10 comes with a 10 year update support that will be divided into two parts. According to an update to Windows Lifestyle Fact Sheet, Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will come with ten years support. In its update, Microsoft has said that it will provide “mainstream security” support until 2020 and “extended security” support until 2025.

How to get Windows 10 upgrade icon if missing:

Method:

Open Notepad

Copy the following text and paste it into Notepad:

REG QUERY “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeExperienceIndicators” /v UpgEx | findstr UpgEx if “%errorlevel%” == “0” GOTO RunGWX reg add “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Appraiser” /v UtcOnetimeSend /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f schtasks /run /TN “\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser” :CompatCheckRunning schtasks /query /TN “\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser” schtasks /query /TN “\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser” | findstr Ready if NOT “%errorlevel%” == “0” ping localhost >nul &goto :CompatCheckRunning:RunGWX schtasks /run /TN “\Microsoft\Windows\Setup\gwx\refreshgwxconfig”

To get Windows 10 upgrade icon, now perform the following steps:

Click File, and then Save As

In the File name box, change the file name to ReserveWin10.cmd

Click the dropdown next to Save as type, and select All files (*.*)

Choose the folder you would like to save the file to.  For this example, let’s choose to save the file to theC:/Temp folder.  Then click Save.

From the Start screen or Start menu, type Command Prompt in the search box, and then in the list of results, right-click Command Prompt, and selectRun as administrator.

Now, the file from the location you saved to in Step 6.  In this example, you would type the following in the Command Prompt window and hit Enter:C:/Temp/ReserveWin10.cmd

This can take 10 – 30 minutes to run, during which the script will continuously provide status reports that it is running.  Please be patient.

If the script is failing in an infinite loop, then you don’t have the necessary prerequisite Windows Updates.  Besides requiring Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update, you must also have installed:

For Windows 7 SP1: KB3035583 KB2952664

For Windows 8.1 Update: KB3035583 KB2976978

You can manually check if you have these updates within your elevated command prompt by typing the command:

dism /online /get-packages | findstr 3035583    

(Replace the KB number with whichever update you are looking for.)  If you have the update installed, this command will show the package identity.  For example, Windows 8.1 users should see this:

C:\>dism /online /get-packages | findstr 3035583

Package Identity : Package_for_KB3035583~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.29

Best of luck..

How To Access Blocked Websites

Restrictions and bans over websites are always annoying, and governments are now censoring content more than ever. Check out the 6 easy ways to bypass the censorship to access blocked websites.

1. Become Anonymous: Use Proxy Websites

A proxy website becomes a moderator between the user and server site. The proxy website camouflages the blocked site from the ISPs and allows you to access blocked websites. To get a proxy website for any blocked site, just perform the Google search.

Eg: Facebook Proxy Server. In case, Facebook is blocked in your institution, or you can go to

http://www.spysurfing.com/ http://proxify.us/p/ and more…

2. Use VPN

VPN or Virtual Proxy Network allows you to connect your device to a secure connection to another network over the internet. VPN enables you to access blocked websites from your home network and puts your IP address in a land far away. You can also download the apps or open the sites blocked in your country.

3. Use IP Rather Than URL

The blocked website sometimes are stored as a list of URLs and using IP of the website might work in few of the cases. To get the IP address for any website, you do a ping domain.com command in Command Prompt.

Using IP is a simple way to access blocked websites in your region. However, if the website had hidden its IP too, then it won’t open with this method.

4. Change Network Proxy In Browsers

Your college or institute might be having more than one proxy for its network. So, it happens that some websites are restricted on one proxy, but accessible in another. So, you can give a try to proxy surfing to access blocked websites in your college.

Change the advanced settings of your Firefox browser and select the Manual Proxy. Put the bypass proxy under HTTP proxy.

5. Use Google Translate

Institutes or even countries sometimes don’t ban Google Translate. So, you can bypass the restriction by converting the blocked website into some other language that you may know. Try Google Translate and see for yourself. It is yet another simple way to access blocked websites.

6. Bypass via Extensions

If the websites that are blocked by your institute or office are dynamic in nature such as Facebook or YouTube, then should give a try to these extensions. Hola and ProxMate are some extensions that you can use to access blocked websites.

These are some of the most effective and easy to use methods to circumvent the censorship that has been put on your favorite websites. Let us know which one do you prefer to access blocked websites in your region.
