Non-declaration of his results had placed his higher education plans in jeopardy, the Class 12 student has said
The Delhi High Court on Monday sought the stand of the Centre and the CBSE on a petition by Congress party's student wing seeking an independent inquiry into the alleged large-scale irregularities in the on-screen marking (OSM) system for Class 12 exams.Issuing notice on a PIL petition by the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), a vacation bench of Justices Neena Bansal Krishna and Madhu Jain asked the central government and CBSE to file their responses and listed the matter for hearing on June 12.Also read: IIT panel approves new CBSE portal for re-evaluation after security reviewThe petitioner submitted that the CBSE closed the portal for verifying and revaluing answer sheets last night and requested a direction to keep it open for affected students for one month.Counsel for CBSE, advocate M A Niyaz, submitted that the authorities extended the deadline for closing the portal from time to time, and the education board was duly addressing the grievances of aggrieved students. He also objected to the maintainability of NSUI to file the PIL, emphasising that it was a student wing of a political party. "We don't want education to be politicised like this," the counsel submitted.The NSUI counsel said that it filed the PIL on behalf of minors and that association with a political party was not a disqualification.What is OSM and what went wrongCBSE introduced on-screen marking for the evaluation of Class 12 answer books beginning with the 2026 examination cycle, describing it as part of its continuous effort to enhance efficiency and transparency. Under the system, physical exam papers are scanned, digitally masked to hide students' identities, and evaluated by teachers on a computer screen.However, the rollout has run into significant controversy. Thousands of students across the country reported issues including blurred scans, missing pages, mismatched answer sheets, incomplete uploads and unexpectedly low marks following the declaration of Class 12 results.CBSE declared the Class 12 results on May 13, with the overall pass percentage dropping to 85.20%, down from 88.39% last year. Reports also indicated a decline in the number of students scoring 90% and above.What NSUI is seekingThe PIL, filed through NSUI president Vinod Jhakhar and advocate Rishav Ranjan, seeks a direction to reopen the verification portal for one month, permit manual rechecking and physical verification of answer sheets in disputed cases, and order an independent inquiry into the alleged irregularities. It also seeks direct oversight by the Union Government and calls for proper safeguards and guidelines to be framed for future digital evaluation systems.Also read: Who is Dharmendra Pradhan? All about Education minister facing heat in CJP protest amid NEET, CBSE controversyNSUI has argued that the lack of a robust corrective mechanism heightens the prejudice to students because the academic calendar continues to move forward while the disputes remain unresolved.The Delhi Government School Teachers' Association (GSTA) had urged CBSE to hold implementation of the OSM system for the 2026 evaluation cycle, citing concerns that the majority of teachers had not been provided with structured and certified training for the digital system. The association had suggested the system be run only as a pilot on a limited scale during the 2026 session.With inputs from PTI

Foreign travellers entering, leaving, or transiting through Vietnam will be required to submit a health declaration before travel from July 1, 2026, under new government regulations aimed at monitoring infectious disease risks. According to a report by Fragomen, the expanded requirement will apply to all travellers entering, departing from, or transiting through Vietnam. Individuals will need to complete a health declaration within seven days before their travel date. The Vietnamese Ministry of Health will decide when and for which infectious diseases the requirement will be enforced. The decision will be based on global disease trends and the risk of diseases being imported into the country. Authorities have not yet announced how travellers will submit the declaration. Details about the platform and application process are expected in future guidance. Employers and travellers should prepare for possible delays when the new system is introduced, as authorities and passengers adjust to the requirement, as per Fragomen report.129876802New travel requirement follows Ho Chi Minh City airport trial Foreign nationals arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City have already been subject to a similar requirement since April 21, 2026. Under the pilot programme, travellers must complete an online declaration form within three days before arrival.

The shares of Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) fell more than 4% on Monday after the company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 493 crore for the fourth quarter of FY26, marking a nearly 2% year-on-year (YoY) decline from the Rs 502 crore net profit reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.IREDA shares dropped to Rs 127.81 apiece on the NSE, bucking the broader market optimism.

Capital markets regulator Sebi has relaxed nomination norms for demat accounts and mutual fund folios, making the process simpler for investors while continuing its push to reduce the buildup of unclaimed financial assets.In a circular issued on Friday, the regulator said investors opening single-holder demat accounts or mutual fund folios after September 1, 2026, will be required to either nominate a beneficiary or formally opt out through a declaration.The move modifies rules introduced last year after market participants flagged operational challenges in implementing the earlier framework.Sebi said the revised norms are aimed at improving ease of investing and simplifying the nomination process.Under the new framework, nomination will remain mandatory for single-holder accounts unless the investor explicitly chooses to opt out. For jointly held accounts and folios, however, nomination will be optional.Investors will be allowed to appoint up to three nominees.In a significant simplification, Sebi has removed the requirement for a witness signature when investors submit nomination forms with a regular signature. A witness will now be required only when an investor uses a thumb impression instead of a signature.The regulator has also reduced the amount of information investors must provide while filing nominations.Only the nominee's name and relationship with the investor will be mandatory. In the case of minor nominees, the date of birth will also be required.Details such as mobile number, email address, percentage share, Aadhaar, PAN, passport or other identification documents will remain optional.Where multiple nominees are appointed but percentage allocation is not specified, the assets will be distributed equally among the nominees.Sebi has also expanded digital options for filing nominations. Investors will be able to submit nominations online using a digital signature certificate, Aadhaar-based e-sign, any recognised e-sign facility, or through two-factor authentication using a one-time password sent to their registered mobile number and email address.The regulator has directed depositories, depository participants, mutual fund registrars and asset management companies to provide both online and offline nomination facilities. The revised framework also allows investors to modify or cancel nominations any number of times.For jointly held accounts, all account holders must consent to any nomination or nomination change regardless of the mode of operation.Sebi has also introduced measures to encourage investors who have not provided nominations. Depository participants and mutual fund registrars will be required to send biannual SMS and email reminders to investors who have neither nominated a beneficiary nor formally opted out.In addition, online platforms will have to display pop-up messages highlighting the benefits of nomination whenever such investors log in to their accounts. The regulator said these nudges are intended to reduce the risk of securities and mutual fund units remaining unclaimed after the death of an investor.Sebi also wants greater transparency in account statements. Going forward, account and holding statements will either display the names of nominees or indicate whether a nomination exists, depending on the investor's preference.The market regulator has repeatedly expressed concerns over growing unclaimed financial assets and has been encouraging investors to update nominations across investment products.Under existing rules, securities that remain unclaimed for prolonged periods can eventually be transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPF) under applicable regulations.Sebi said the revised norms supersede all previous circulars relating to nominations for demat accounts and mutual fund folios. The new framework will come into effect from September 1, 2026, giving market intermediaries time to upgrade their systems and implement the revised procedures.The changes are expected to make account opening and nomination management easier while ensuring smoother transmission of securities and mutual fund holdings to legal heirs and nominees.

Interest in overseas investing has risen as Indian equities lag several global markets over the past year. A look at different ways to invest overseas, the costs involved, and what to watch out for.What's the rush for investing overseas these days?The recent interest is largely because global markets have done better than India over the past year or so. Some hot global themes, such as AI and semiconductors, have seen strong gains. Since Indian investors have limited direct exposure to these themes through local markets, it's encouraging them to look outside India.How can resident Indian investors allocate money overseas?Resident Indian investors have three main ways to invest overseas. The simplest route is through international mutual funds offered by Indian fund houses. The second option is investing through GIFT City-based funds, and the third route is by opening an international brokerage account to directly buy global stocks or ETFs.If investing through domestic MFs is simple, why are investors facing restrictions?International mutual funds are indeed the simplest way to invest overseas, as they work like any domestic scheme and allow both lump sum and SIP investments across markets such as the US and other global indices. Indian funds offer funds that bet on the US, China, Nasdaq, Taiwan, Brazil, Japan, Europe and Asia, among others. However, investors are currently facing restrictions because The Reserve Bank of India has set an overall industry-wide limit of $7 billion for such overseas investments, which has already been largely utilised.As a result, many fund houses have stopped accepting lump sum inflows, while some allow SIPs but with monthly caps. This has reduced the availability of fresh investment avenues through this route.What about the GIFT City-based international funds?GIFT City-based funds offered by Indian AMCs, which are denominated in dollars and invest across global markets, themes and indices. These typically require a higher minimum investment of around $5,000 and fall under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) limit of $250,000 a year. But the issue is that not every fund house has a presence there.What are the products currently on offer for domestic investors through GIFT City?Some of the popular products available for resident investors from GIFT city currently are DSP Global Equity Fund, Edelweiss Greater China Equity Fund, Parag Parikh IFSC Nasdaq 100 FoF and Parag Parikh IFSC S&P 500 FoF. Many others are in the process of launching their products there.How can an investor put money into GIFT City funds?For a Resident Indian, the process of investing through GIFT City is different from that for a domestic mutual fund. Investing through GIFT City involves sending money abroad under the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), since it is treated as an offshore jurisdiction. Investors need to complete KYC and then transfer funds from their bank account by filling out an LRS declaration (A2 form). The money is converted into dollars, and banks charge forex conversion and wire transfer fees.If total remittances exceed โน7 lakh in a year, a 20% TCS is collected upfront, which can be adjusted while filing taxes. Once invested, these funds function like mutual funds with a daily NAV, and redemptions take around T+5 days.How does direct investing work?In direct investing, investors open an international trading account through an Indian platform offering global access to buy shares of overseas companies or global ETFs. The investment is made by remitting money abroad under the LRS, after which funds are converted into foreign currency and used to trade. This route offers the widest choice, but it comes with added complexities, including forex conversion costs, brokerage charges, and compliance requirements.How are the gains taxed on the investments? Investments in international funds through the mutual fund route attract capital gains tax to be paid by investors at the rate of 12.5% for units, if held for more than two years. For units held for less than two years, the gains are added to your total income and taxed according to the tax slab. In GIFT City funds, the income earned from investments is taxable at the fund level, with no taxation at the investor level. For holding periods less than 24 months, a short term capital gains tax at the rate of 30% and a long-term capital gains tax of 12.5% is levied, which includes surcharge, health and education cess. Will the estate tax be applicable for resident Indians investing in US stocks from India? Yes, the estate tax can apply if resident Indians invest directly in USlisted stocks. For non-US residents, the exemption limit is $60,000. So, if the value of US assets held directly exceeds this at the time of death, the excess can be taxed by the US at rates ranging from 18% to 40%. This applies only to direct holdings of US stocks or assets. Investments routed through funds, such as those based in GIFT City, typically do not attract US estate tax at the investor level. So, what are my best options? If you are looking to deploy small amounts like Rs 5000 or Rs 10,000 per month or a lumpsum amount of Rs 1 lakh, the mutual fund route works well, though there are limited choices, and the GIFT City route is highly impractical. However, if you are looking to park a substantial lump sum of more than $5000 into a dollar denominated asset, you could opt for the GIFT City route or direct investing.
Indigenous communities in Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu are protesting wildlife tourism and tiger reserve expansion. They accuse authorities and conservation groups of commercializing ancestral lands, evicting families, and ignoring their rights. A joint declaration demands an immediate halt to relocations and recognition of their land rights, calling forced conservation 'colonization'.
