PPF, Sukanya Accounts May Be Frozen After Maturity. Check What You Must Do In Time
Last Updated: Accounts that are not extended for reinvestment or closed within three years of maturity will be frozen, as per the advisory, restricting any further access or transactions The Postal Department has issued an important advisory for investors in popular small savings schemes like the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, Public Provident Fund (PPF), National Savings Scheme, and the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme. The department has warned that discrepancies or errors in managing these accounts could lead to them being frozen, restricting all withdrawals and transactions until the issues are resolved. The advisory highlights that accounts which have not been extended for reinvestment or closed within three years of maturity will be at risk. If three years have passed since the maturity date and no action has been taken, the department will freeze these accounts. Consequently, account holders will be unable to access their funds. This measure is designed to protect accounts from fraudulent activities. The Postal Department states that inactive accounts are vulnerable to scams, and freezing them is a preventive step to safeguard investors' money from illegal withdrawals. The department stated that this process will now be carried out twice a year to safeguard investors' hard-earned money. Investors in small savings schemes should note that within three years of maturity, they must either withdraw the funds or reinvest them to avoid complications. The accounts under scrutiny include PPF, Sukanya Yojana, NSC, RD, fixed deposits, monthly income schemes, Kisan Vikas Patra, and the Senior Citizen Savings Scheme. Once frozen, these accounts will be inaccessible for any transactions, including online transfers. How Can The Account Be Reactivated? For reactivating a frozen account, the Postal Department has provided a clear procedure. Account holders must visit the postal office and submit their account passbook, KYC documents, and account closure form SB 7A. The account will then be closed, and the remaining balance will be handed over to the account holder. Account freezing will be carried out twice a year, on January 1 and July 1, as per the new schedule. The entire freezing process will be completed within 15 days. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 16:21 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Last tunnel of Mumbai Metro's Line 7A, important connectivity link to airport, completed: MMRDA
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) completed the work on the second and last tunnel of Mumbai Metro's Line 7A corridor between Andheri East and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) on Monday. The tunnel-boring machine Dhruv was deployed for the work and the entire tunnelling on the underground section of the corridor is now complete, officials said. The 1.65-km upline tunnel of a diameter of 5.6 m was built with 1,178 tunnel-lining rings of 1.4 m. Precast ring segments in six pieces were used as liners. The driving of the tunnel started on November 4, 2023, and drove under critical infrastructure items such as Metro Line 3, the Sahar Elevated Road ramp, a principal underground sewer pipeline, and a water pipe. Line 7A, which is 3.17 km long, runs from Andheri East to CSMIA's Terminal 2. It has elevated and underground portions. The line will have two stations–Airport Colony and CSIA Terminal 2–and will be configured to link with the running Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) and, later on, Metro Line 8 (Gold Line), which will be connected to Navi Mumbai International Airport. So far, 61 per cent of the total alignment of Line 7A has been completed, according to officials. The work is being undertaken by J Kumar Infraprojects Limited, which was given the project contract by the MMRDA in September 2019. The Rs 1,998-crore contract involves the construction of a viaduct, ramp, underground tunnels and metro stations. The same company used Dhruv in the Metro Line 3 project from 2018 to 2021. Metro Line 7A is a part of an extension of Metro Line 9, also called Red Line, which has an estimated cost of Rs 6,518 crore. Line 7A is said to enhance connectivity to the airport.

Bill Belichick's hand-picked North Carolina QB becomes ‘big riser' in recruiting rankings
The North Carolina Tar Heels hired Bill Belichick to be their new head coach back in December. Even though he's yet to coach in a college football game, he's made several headlines since. This time, instead of a controversial topic, he's here for all the right reasons, ones that deal with football. Advertisement Specifically, Belichick's back in good graces because his hand-picked North Carolina commit, quarterback Travis Burgess. The 2026 football recruit committed to North Carolina in May, so well after Belichick got on board. Burgess has drastically improved his optics in the recruiting rankings ever since. Despite being from Georgia, Belichick managed to land the 6-foot-5, 205-pound quarterback prospect after he and his parents visited Chapel Hill in May and were blown away by the future Hall of Famer's coaching staff. Belichick told Burgess that he would 'show you why I recruited you,' and he did, by showing him game film from when the QB led his team to a 7A state title. Belichick went through plays with Burgess for an hour, asking him about reads while noting the progress made throughout the season. The thing is, when Burgess committed to UNC instead of schools like Auburn, he did so as a three-star prospect and the 30th-ranked quarterback in the country, per 247Sports. However, since Burgess had an incredible showing at the Elite 11 Finals in June, Burgess is now a four-star recruit and the 16th-ranked QB in the nation. One coach from the showing said Burgess 'Really stood out.' 'He really stood out,' said Elite 11 coach Justin Hoover, who has trained several NFL quarterbacks. 'He was a big riser for me.' Justin Hoover on Travis Burgess While Burgess won't arrive on campus until next year, he'll arrive as a disciplined young man who grew up with a military background. Ultimately, he sounds like a perfect match for coach Belichick. Advertisement Related: Bill Belichick's inner circle 'deeply concerned' about girlfriend Jordon Hudson Related Headlines

CASA-V 7A Antibacterial and Antimicrobial Mechanism of Far-Infrared Bedding Far-infrared radiation is an important form of heat transfer. This technology utilizes special heating fibers and their characteristic absorption reaction to efficiently convert electrical energy into far-infrared radiation. Far-infrared antibacterial fabrics maintain their original softness and quality while delivering significant antibacterial and antimicrobial radiation has a wavelength of 4-14μm, mainly 8-14μm, while the fabric absorbs 4-12μm. It's an electromagnetic wave (4-1000μm) that can emit, penetrate, and resonate. Since the wavelengths match closely, far-infrared radiation creates a resonance effect when it hits the fabric. This resonance can penetrate the skin, reaching deep tissue, altering DNA, and inhibiting bacterial growth.
