North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile Toward East Sea, Say South Korea And Japan

Seoul [South Korea], November 7 (ANI): North Korea has fired a ballistic missile towards the sea off its east coast, South Korea and Japan both said on Friday. South Korean military said that Pyongyang had fired at least one unidentified ballistic missile toward the East Sea as per a report in Yonhap. It did not give further details. The Japanese government also said today that North Korea had fired what could be a ballistic missile. Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi told reporters that the missile apparently fell outside Japan's exclusive economic zone, with no damage to planes or ships reported, Kyodo news agency said. North Korea as per the Seoul-based Yonhap, last fired a short-range ballistic missiles northeastward on October 22 ahead of South Korea's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and US President Donald Trump's visit to the country. It also fired multiple artillery rockets less than an hour prior to the visit by US defence chief Pete Hegseth to the Demilitarized Zone, separating both the Koreas. Meanwhile, Pyongyang has vowed to take action to counter sanctions imposed on Tuesday by the US President Donald Trump's administration. The US Treasury Department announced earlier this week that it had imposed sanctions on eight North Korean individuals and two entities for their role in laundering funds stolen through illicit cyber activities. The department said that the individuals were "state-sponsored hackers," whose illicit operations were conducted "to fund the regime's nuclear weapons programme." Previously, on November 3, the US State Department had said that it would request the UN Security Council committee to impose sanctions on seven ships accused of smuggling North Korean coal and iron ore to China. North Korea views its missile and nuclear programs as crucial for deterring any potential attacks on its regime. (This report has been published as part of an auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

From Salary To SIPs: What You’ll Lose If Aadhaar Isn’t Linked With PAN

From Salary To SIPs: What You’ll Lose If Aadhaar Isn’t Linked With PAN

If you haven’t yet linked your PAN with Aadhaar, the clock is ticking. Taxpayers have until December 31, 2025, to complete the process or risk losing access to key financial and tax-related services. According to tax-filing platform TaxBuddy, failure to comply will render the PAN card inoperative from January 1, 2026, directly affecting salary credits, SIPs, and tax refunds. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), TaxBuddy warned, “Your PAN card will be deactivated from Jan 1 2026. No ITR filing. No refunds. Even your salary credit or SIP could fail.” Why Linking PAN with Aadhaar Is Mandatory The government has made PAN-Aadhaar linking compulsory to ensure transparency and accountability in the tax system. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) mandates that anyone who was issued a PAN before July 1, 2017, must link it with their Aadhaar. Similarly, individuals receiving their PAN by October 1, 2025, are also required to complete the linkage by December 31, 2025. Those applying for a new PAN after July 1, 2025, will have the linking done automatically during the application process. Niranjan Govindekar, Partner – Direct Tax at BDO India, explained: “This new deadline applies only to specific cases, i.e., those individuals who would have obtained PAN basis Enrolment ID of Aadhaar applications. Other taxpayers who have been allotted a PAN as of July 1, 2017, have already faced deactivation for non-linkage on July 1, 2023.” Section 139AA(2) of the Income Tax Act requires that every person with a PAN as of July 1, 2017, and eligible for an Aadhaar number, must link the two on or before March 31, 2022. Failure to do so attracts a penalty under Section 234H, which imposes a fee of Rs 1,000 for belated linking. Consequences of Missing the December 31, 2025 Deadline If PAN and Aadhaar are not linked by the deadline, the PAN card will become inoperative from January 1, 2026. This could have several repercussions, as outlined by TaxBuddy: Inability to file Income Tax Returns (ITR) Suspension of processing and refunds for previously filed returns TDS/TCS information will not appear in Form 26AS Higher TDS/TCS rates may apply Bank transactions, SIPs, and investments may face disruptions Stock market, mutual fund, and KYC updates will be restricted Once the PAN-Aadhaar linkage is completed, the PAN card will be reactivated within 30 days, restoring normal financial operations. Will Your Money or Investments Be Lost? No, existing investments and bank balances will remain secure. However, deactivation of PAN will freeze most financial activities. This means individuals will be unable to: Make new investments or modify existing SIPs Buy or sell shares Update KYC details in banks or mutual funds Funds will remain safe, but financial operations will resume only after PAN reactivation. Who Must Link PAN with Aadhaar? As per the Finance Ministry’s April 2025 notification, anyone who obtained a PAN using an Aadhaar Enrolment ID before October 1, 2024, must share their Aadhaar number with the tax department by December 31, 2025. The rule applies to all individual taxpayers. How to Link PAN with Aadhaar The process is straightforward and can be done through the Income Tax Department’s website using the link https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/. Step-by-step guide: Visit the website and click on “Link Aadhaar.” Enter your PAN and Aadhaar numbers. Click on the ‘Validate’ button. The information will be verified with the UIDAI database. Complete OTP verification, if prompted. The linking request may take 4–5 days to process. The government has extended the PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline multiple times in the past, but there’s no guarantee of another extension. If you haven’t yet linked your PAN and Aadhaar, experts advise doing it well before December 31, 2025, to avoid disruptions to your salary, investments, and tax refunds.

TrumpTracker Hits 59 As Jairam Ramesh Targets Modi Over Trump’s Ceasefire Boast

New Delhi [India], November 7 (ANI): Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Friday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday for US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of stopping the hostilities between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack.  Referencing his self-named "TrumpTracker" he highlighted that the US president has made the claim of brokering a peace deal at least 59 times. The Congress leader further criticised PM Modi's silence on Trump claiming that India will stop buying Russian oil. "The TrumpTracker this morning has touched 59. He reiterates; 1. He stopped Operation Sindoor within 24 hours by using trade and tariffs as leverage. 2. India has stopped buying oil from Russia largely. 3. He speaks to Prime Minister Modi -- who wants him to visit India, which could be as soon as next year," Congress leader said on X. What does HowdyModi have to say about all this? The Congress MP asked. President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he used trade tariffs to stop a potential large-scale war between India and Pakistan, stating that his intervention "settled" the conflict within 24 hours. Addressing reporters at the White House on Thursday, Trump said, "Of the eight wars I ended, five or six were because of tariffs. If you look at India and Pakistan, they were about to fight, two nuclear nations. Eight planes were shot down. And I said, 'If you guys are going to fight, I am going to put tariffs on you.' They were not happy, and within 24 hours, I settled the war. Without tariffs, I wouldn't have been able to do that." The US President was referring to the border clashes between India and Pakistan that followed India's precision strikes in May this year on Pakistani terror camps under Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 civilians. In the same briefing after announcing a new policy to cut prices of weight-loss drugs, Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him "a great man" and "a friend," while hinting that he may visit India next year."He (PM Modi) largely stopped buying from Russia. He is a friend of mine, and we speak. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a great man. He wants me to go there, and I will. We'll figure that out," Trump told reporters. Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed Trump's commitment to strengthening the India-US relationship, describing it as a partnership the President feels "very strongly" about. Trump's comments about stopping a potential war between India and Pakistan were similar to those he made at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea last week, where he claimed he had "threatened India and Pakistan with tariffs" to prevent a potential nuclear war.  (This report has been published as part of an auto-generated syndicate wire feed.
