On October 1, 2022, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced card storage rules that prevent online merchants (like Amazon/Swiggy/Zomato) and payment aggregators & gateways (Razorpay and BillDesk) from storing credit and debit card details of their customers.

This has brought confusion among users, merchants, and payment aggregators especially because of the lack of clarity around recurring payments, EMI transactions, and even the readiness of smaller merchants.

IN PLAIN SIGHT – Mohamed Thaver’s Amazon Bestseller | Book Review by Gautam Mengle

July 24, 2021 DiaryOfAnInsaneWriter

The subject or rapes and murders that Thaver has chosen is a sensitive one, and yet he handles it with dignity and sensitivity, the same way that he has while covering countless such unfortunate incidents while on the job.

Instead, he chooses to focus on the nitty gritties of crime detection and investigation, which do an equally effective job of retaining the reader’s attention till the very end.
