Financial Frauds including calls to actually defraud.

Financial Frauds including calls to actually defraud.
Requesting all concerned.
1. The telecom dept Cannot close your account
2. The electricity dept does not send a sms saying they are disconnecting your connection
3. ⁠if some caller says your son or daughter is in dire need of financial help have the presence of mind to disconnect. Tell your children to be always accessible on phones and have them compulsorily give you alternative numbers to be contacted in an emergency. Do not transfer money to unknown people.
4. ⁠No insurance company rings up to say take back your premium plus a hefty mark up.
5. ⁠Do not click on any link if they entice you that the Govt or someone is giving extra pension or money, nobody does this. Thy publish notices or send formal communications. Or check with fellow retiree’s.
6. ⁠No insurance product can assure fantastic returns. Period.
7. ⁠Nobody can guarantee returns from the stock market. Do not transfer money to any such person, even your relatives or people recommended by them.
8. ⁠invest in mutual funds and stocks directly, open s DMAT Account at the Bank. Simple.
9. ⁠Do not keep selling and buying securities because a well mannered sweet talking guy or lady tells you. You do when you want to as per your judgement. This applies to Fixed Deposits too.
10. Do not trust any colleague or person who requests you to invest with him. Invest after due deliberation but preferably pay for advise and invest on your own.
A resident of our sector just recently lost a considerable amount to a fake call. A huge amount. Plus there have been other incidents. Hence out of concern I am posting this.
As a person who retired from the top management of a major financial institution, I can only say and request safeguard yourself. Kindly be alert.

The Forgotten Unsung Heroes of the Battle of Madhumati. 1971. Bangladesh. 45 Cavalry.

  The Forgotten Unsung Heroes of the Battle of Madhumati. 1971. Bangladesh. 45 Cavalry. By Dinesh K Kapila  (Chief General Manager (Retd). NABARD (As discussed with Major General (then Major) Pramod   Kumar Batra, Retd and Other Veterans)   Just a Glimpse – Cdr 62 Mountain Brigade – “Pramod, I believe it is hard to maneuver PT 76 tanks in this terrain and waters”. Pat is the answer, “it is hard and I may struggle, but you will never see me to give up or fai”l. They stood together, on the edge of the swift flowing Madhumati, the staff and soldiers waiting. It was dark. Very Dark. After waiting for some time the Bde Cdr had said, “lets go”. Major PK Batra vividly recollects even now watching the Cdr's face as he looked at the map with a torch. He was calm and very quiet, showing ,no fear or afraid and maintaining a dignified silence. He remembered the old saying, "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown". It was a moment in not only the life of the Brigade Co...

A Knock on The Door and a Memory

  A Knock on The Door and a Memory A Short Story By Dinesh K Kapila  (written for a contest, had to start with Knock Knock ...) Knock knock. The sharp rap shattered the silence, jolting her from a restless daze. Who would knock so late ? Open the door ! The voice, urgent, cut through the stillness. Her breath hitched. That voice ……. Unmistakable. She froze, heart pounding, hand inches from the knob. It could not be…. It sounded just like Dheeraj. How could it be? Just could not be. She was wondering, in the meantime, the knocking continued. Sharp raps. Relentless. She stood back a couple of steps. Wondering. Thinking should she open the door. It was late. Very late. ‘Wait’, she shouted loudly. ‘I will just take a minute”. That would buy her time. To think. What did he look like now. It was now more than three decades since they last met. She had moved on and so had Dheeraj. Life, it gives chances, you grab some, some you let go. On an impulse she steeled herself and o...

Appearances ! Oh Chandigarh !

  Appearances ! Oh Chandigarh ! Dinesh K Kapila Appearances. The real self. The perceived self. The public self for the world to see, sometimes multiple selves. That is us. Surya felt only Chandigarh took it at times to another level. Surya was with his wife Annie at a house in a tony locality in Chandigarh. Visiting. For those who do not know, Chandigarh has a clear cut demarcation. Here localities are called Sectors. Sector 1 to Sector 30 are directly maintained by the Chandigarh Administration, they are visibly cleaner. Sector 8, Sector 9, Sector 6 are viewed as exclusive. It’s deeply rooted, this degree of exclusivity. The accents are apparently plusher and softer and lifestyles more lah de la, that is the refrain. Then come the other sectors. As you cross over from Sector 30 onwards, maintained by a private company, the perception itself changes, so goes the wisdom. One old timer, a hard nosed businessman from Sector 6 once told Surya, you guys in the Sectors such as 33,3...
