13 digit mobile numbers in India from July 1? Not true, only for M2M numbers

The Department of Telecom (DoT) has issued instructions to all telecom operators to start using 13 digit mobile numbers for all existing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) customers from October 18 onward. Further, it has been stated that 13 digit M2M mobile number will be implemented from July 1. The deadline for the completion has been set as December 31, 2018. While the news is 100 per cent true, it will no have any impact on the regular mobile users in India.
Social media is abuzz with rumours that the move by the government of India will impact the mobile phone users in India, which is untrue. The DoT has only asked the existing 10-digit M2M numbers to 13-digit numbers from October 1. To end this speculation,  Machine-to-Machine (M2M) number is meant for machines, the ones connected to the internet. M2M or SIM-based IOT devices will be impacted by this.

The regular 10 digit mobile number that all customers in India enjoy is not going to change as some websites are reporting incorrectly.

TRAI states that Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication is a form of data communication that involves one or more entities that do not necessarily require human interaction or intervention in the process of communication. M2M is also named as Machine Type Communication (MTC) in 3GPP. 

What is M2M communication?
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) can be described as the interaction between devices and machines (it could be Airplane, Ship, connected cars, or Bicycle) that are connected to the internet and to each other.  The M2M SIM card is required to connect these devices to the internet, though these can be used on regular mobiles as well. However, telecom operators like Vodafone, Airtel, etc have dedicated M2M offerings for such communications. The deployment of M2M in sectors like transport, power, utilities, logistics, health, and shipping has enormous potential to boost the economic development of the country.

Android P will restrict background apps from accessing the camera: Report

-
Image
Google is working on a new Android P feature that will prevent background apps from accessing the device’s camera and microphone without the knowledge. An Android Open Source Commit (APSC) has been spotted by XDA-Developers that shows that Android P could stop idle apps in the background from using the camera and microphone. This is the first time Google is actively looking to protect users’ privacy from idle apps.
The method will be implemented by tracking the app’s User IDs (UID) that are assigned to each application, when it is installed on the device. When the camera in Android P detects that a UID is “idle”, it will generate an error and prevent access to the camera. If the inactive UID makes subsequent requests an error will immediately generate thus not allowing it to tap into the camera. Plus, Android P will also block apps in “idle” state from accessing the microphone. Just to recall, Android’s Doze function restricts background app’s access to network and CPU-intensive serv…

Cases Where ITC Cannot be Claimed under GST:

By -
Cases Where ITC Cannot be Claimed under GST: GST input tax credit mechanism allows persons registered under GST to set-off their GST tax liability.  Since GST is a consumption based tax, the input tax credit mechanism ensures that the ultimate GST liability is passed on to the consumer.  Though input tax credit can be claimed by a person registered under GST for most inputs, some types of goods and services are not eligible for input tax credit claim.  In this article, we look at such goods and services, which are not eligible for input tax credit under GST. Motor Vehicles or Conveyances Input tax credit can be claimed for motor vehicles or conveyance only when they are used for making a further supply of such vehicles or conveyances or transportation of passengers or imparting training or for transportation of goods.  Hence, expenses related to the normal use of motor vehicles for office purposes cannot be claimed as an input tax credit. Food, Beverages and Outdo...
