Frequent UPI autopay transactions like installments, mutual fund SIP, and OTT subscriptions will now be completed only during non-peak hours. The time for autopay transactions will be before 10 am, between 1 pm and 5 pm, and after 9:30 pm.

25% US tariff will now be applicable from August 7
US President Donald Trump's order to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from India will now be applicable from August 7. President Trump issued this order late at night. Earlier, the US tariff was to be effective from today (August 1). With this, most of the products exported from India to America are sure to become expensive there. It is believed that this may shock Indian exporters, because America is a big buyer of Indian products, and if the US tariff on the goods sent from India increases, then the citizens there may prefer goods coming from other countries at lower tariff rates instead of Indian products.
