UPI ID linked with a mobile number you dont use, or have anymore? It has not been an easy task to delink such an inactive mobile number from the UPI ID. However, going ahead, you will be able to remove, or de-link your mobile number from this UPI ID, even if you do not have that mobile number in your possession anymore. Before the end of this month (i.e., before March 31, 2025), all UPI banks and PSPs (payment service providers) will have to update their database with regards to recycled, or churned, numbers, to “reduce the chances of errors due to churned mobile numbers,” per a recent NPCI circular dated March 2025. Moreover, this will not be a one-off updation process. As the circular further notes, NPCI requires its member apps and banks to at least bring their mobile number databases up to date at least once a week, so that recycled, or churned-out, numbers are identified and weeded out more frequently. For this purpose, “the Banks, PSP apps shall use the Mobile Number Revocation List (MNRL)/Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP),” the circular adds.

USCIS) has announced a one-month grace period for older versions of immigration forms, including green card applications. This decision comes after a lawsuit challenged the agency's sudden rollout of new forms without prior notice.

The agency confirmed this update in a notice published on its website. Forms impacted by this decision include Form I-485 for green cards, Form N-400 for naturalization, and others.

This led to confusion among applicants and attorneys, as older versions were submitted even after the updates took effect.

Ben Powell, Chief Middle East and APAC Investment Strategist, BlackRock Investment Institute, says we at BlackRock are still very much on board with the India bull story, while being respectful of the short-term sell-off which clearly has fed on itself. India is on a journey to exist as a standalone investment destination and that is going to become more and more the case in the quarters and years ahead. We have discussed the US. We have discussed China. Where is India? Did I miss it? Ben Powell: India is doing very well. I am here in the UAE. We had a huge cricket event over the weekend. India was triumphant. India, I still think is in this temporarily tricky spot of risk slightly feeding on itself. You have had a market which perhaps got a little bit ahead of itself several months ago and that was ripe, it turns out, for a little bit of a downdraft and that is now feeding on itself to some degree.
