<p><strong>PF Withdrawal Rules:</strong> The central government is considering offering more flexibility in withdrawing funds from PF accounts. The Union Ministry of Labour, in collaboration with the EPFO, is preparing to amend the PF withdrawal rules. The government&#8217;s intention is to enable employees to withdraw larger sums from their PF accounts when needed. The government is considering allowing employees to withdraw 60-70% or even the entire amount from their PF account after 10 years of regular service. This would provide employees with greater access to funds in times of need. There is also hope that employees will be allowed to withdraw larger sums three times during their entire service, at intervals of 10 years.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">75 Million Account Holders to Benefit</h2>



<p>The new rules will benefit approximately 75 million members associated with the EPFO, who will be able to withdraw larger sums of money as per their needs. This change will particularly help those who do not wish to wait until the age of 58 and want to retire early. Currently, you can only withdraw your entire PF amount upon retirement at age 58 or after remaining unemployed for two months following job termination. Currently, members are permitted to withdraw funds from their PF account for medical expenses, home purchase, children&#8217;s education, weddings, and other essential purposes; however, these withdrawals are subject to several conditions and limited to a predetermined amount.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">But… Significant Drawbacks</h2>



<p><strong>Reduced Retirement Savings:</strong> If employees withdraw large sums from their PF intermittently, their account balance will naturally be lower upon retirement.</p>



<p><strong>Loss of Interest:</strong> PF is a means of long-term savings that earns good interest. Withdrawing money prematurely reduces the benefits of compound interest. This means your savings will not grow as quickly.</p>



<p><strong>Future Concerns:</strong> The financial security provided by PF for post-retirement may be weakened.</p>


Business

<p>After the implementation of new rules, it will be possible to withdraw a larger amount without any conditions. Read the full story to know more. </p>

<p>The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has launched an initiative to support candidates who narrowly miss final selection in the Civil Services Examination. Under the ‘Public Disclosure Scheme’ (PDS), UPSC has begun sharing information of such candidates – those who cleared the written exam but were not selected in the interview – with private companies. This move is expected to increase the chances of hardworking and qualified candidates finding suitable employment in the private sector.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Millions of Applicants Remain Unsuccessful</h2>



<p>UPSC conducts ten regular examinations annually, selecting approximately 6,400 candidates for various government services. Despite their hard work, millions of candidates fail to make the final cut. Earlier this year, UPSC launched a portal called ‘Pratibha Setu’. The information includes candidates&#8217; names, educational qualifications, and contact numbers. Private companies and other organisations can use the portal to find suitable candidates for their job requirements.</p>



<p>Besides the Civil Services Examination, the portal also includes information on candidates from other UPSC examinations such as Engineering Services, Indian Forest Service, Central Armed Police Forces, Combined Geo-Scientist, and Combined Medical Services examinations. UPSC has ensured that the information is not misused. A UPSC official stated that the information is solely for verifying candidates&#8217; qualifications for employment and cannot be used for any other purpose.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consent Required for Inclusion in the Scheme</h2>



<p>Candidates must provide their consent to be included in this scheme. The portal is designed to allow companies to search for candidates based on their qualifications and subject specialisation. If a company requires candidates with a master&#8217;s degree in engineering or economics, they can easily find such information on the portal.</p>

<p>Commuters travelling between Delhi and Gurgaon may soon find significant relief from daily traffic jams. The central government has initiated consideration of two new infrastructure projects aimed at reducing the persistent traffic pressure on National Highway-48 (NH-48) and MG Road. One proposal suggests developing a new connector route from Delhi&#8217;s Gyarah Murti or Talkatora Stadium to Gurgaon. The other major proposal involves constructing an elevated corridor or tunnel from AIIMS to the Mahipalpur bypass.</p>



<p>According to a report in the <i>Indian Express</i>, these projects are part of two proposals to alleviate congestion, particularly in Lutyens&#8217; Delhi and central Delhi. Officials stated that the second proposal is for an elevated corridor or tunnel. This will connect the terminus of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway to the proposed elevated corridor from AIIMS to the Mahipalpur bypass. The Delhi government is also working on this project.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Current Travel Time: 1-1.5 Hours for 33 Kilometres</h2>



<p>Officials say that currently, a journey of approximately 33 kilometres between Delhi and Gurgaon takes more than an hour. However, upon completion of these projects, this journey is expected to be reduced to just 25-30 minutes. These projects are also considered a significant step towards reducing traffic pressure in Lutyens&#8217; Delhi and central Delhi.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Proposed Elevated Corridor and Tunnel</h2>



<p>The central government has proposed an approximately 20-kilometre-long elevated corridor from AIIMS to Mahipalpur, which will extend further to the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road. This will serve as a parallel route to NH-48 and help alleviate congestion on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road and Ring Road. Currently, the Delhi-Meerut and Delhi-Dehradun Expressways terminate near Sarai Kale Khan, while the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway&#8217;s DND-Sohna link is also about to open.</p>



<p>The traffic from all these expressways could potentially create immense pressure on Lutyens&#8217; Delhi and central Delhi in the future. Keeping this in mind, officials have planned an elevated corridor and a 5-kilometre-long tunnel to connect this part of Delhi to AIIMS, linking the IGI Airport and Dwarka Expressway via Nelson Mandela Marg.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Decisions Made in High-Level Meeting</h2>



<p>These two projects were discussed in a crucial meeting in June involving Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and other senior officials. The meeting instructed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to prepare detailed feasibility reports (DPRs) for both projects and invite necessary bids. The meeting agreed that the elevated corridor and tunnel would be implemented as an integrated plan, providing seamless connectivity to various parts of Delhi-NCR.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Working on a Policy to Reduce Congestion</h2>



<p>The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is also working on a new policy aimed at controlling urban congestion. Under this policy, central funding will be provided to reduce traffic pressure on major routes in cities, especially in border areas. The main objectives include reducing travel time, strengthening intercity connectivity, and ensuring sustainable development.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Projects for Delhi</h2>



<p>According to officials, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has requested ₹1,500 crore from the Central Road Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) for the redevelopment of the city&#8217;s road infrastructure. Discussions also covered major projects worth over ₹63,000 crore, of which projects worth ₹34,589 crore are under construction and will be completed soon. New projects worth ₹23,850 crore have been proposed to reduce congestion, which are expected to significantly improve traffic and connectivity between Delhi and the NCR.</p>


New Delhi–Gurgaon Route: Travel to take just 30 minutes, thanks to two major Delhi government projects easing traffic

<p>Currently, travelling the approximately 33-kilometre distance between Delhi and Gurugram takes more than an hour. However, these proposed plans will reduce this travel time to a mere 25-30 minutes.</p>

<p>South Indian film industry mourns the loss of renowned Tamil actor Fish Venkat, who passed away at the age of 53. His death followed kidney and liver failure. He required ₹50 lakh for a kidney transplant and had been battling illness and hospitalisation for a considerable period, his condition deteriorating steadily. Following the news, social media has been flooded with tributes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Actor Fish Venkat&#8217;s Demise </h2>



<p>Fish Venkat&#8217;s condition had worsened to the point that he required regular dialysis and was on ventilator support. His real name was Venkat Raj. He is survived by his wife and three children.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_9f5ae0.png?w=640" alt="Fish Venkat Dies" class="wp-image-19789094" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_9f5ae0.png 1280w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_9f5ae0.png?resize=300,169 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_9f5ae0.png?resize=768,432 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image_9f5ae0.png?resize=1024,576 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>



<p>According to family sources, Fish Venkat needed a kidney transplant, but the necessary funds could not be secured. His daughter had appealed for financial assistance when his condition became critical, but without success.</p>



<p>While earlier reports suggested superstar Prabhas offered assistance, a family member clarified that this was untrue. In a statement to Suman TV, they said: “That didn&#8217;t happen. We are answering every call to see if anyone can help us. An unknown person called, claiming to be Prabhas Anna&#8217;s assistant. Later, we found out he was a fraud. We haven&#8217;t received any financial help yet.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fish Venkat Known for Comedy Roles </h2>



<p>Fish Venkat was known for his comedic roles in films. He established himself in the Telugu film industry with films like &#8216;Bani&#8217;, &#8216;Adhurs&#8217;, and &#8216;Dhee&#8217;. He was recently seen in the thriller film &#8216;Coffee with a Killer&#8217;. He also worked alongside Sidhu Jonnalagadda in &#8216;Maa Vintha Gaadha Vinuma&#8217; and &#8216;DJ Tillu&#8217;.</p>

<p>Aspiring participants in the Indian Army&#8217;s recruitment process will now face a more rigorous selection procedure. Passing the physical fitness test is no longer sufficient; Agniveers will also need to demonstrate mental fortitude and stress tolerance. For the first time, the army has made psychological testing mandatory to evaluate candidates&#8217; intellectual level and mental resilience.</p>



<p>These tests have been developed by the Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR), an organisation under the Ministry of Defence. The aim is to assess the stress-coping abilities of army recruits, thereby preventing future stress-related incidents.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">15-Minute Online Psychological Test</h2>



<p>A 15-minute online software test has been designed for this purpose. While trials were conducted last year, the test, after technical improvements, will be implemented from August 2025. This process will begin with the Agniveer recruitment drives in Gwalior, Chambal, and Bundelkhand districts, falling under Madhya Pradesh.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Will the Test Work?</h2>



<p>After candidates successfully complete the 1600-meter race in the first phase of the recruitment process, they will receive a link on their mobile phones to take the 15-minute psychological test. Candidates who fail this test will be deemed ineligible for further stages.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Previously Only for Officers</h2>



<p>According to army officials, psychological testing was previously only part of the interview process for officers (NDA, CDS, JCO, etc.). However, this is the first time that Agniveers will also be required to pass this test. It is important to note that the test format for Agniveers is different from that used for officers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why is this Test Necessary?</h2>



<p>During a media interaction, Colonel Pankaj Kumar, Director of the Gwalior Army Recruitment Office, explained that physical fitness alone is no longer enough to become an Agniveer; mental strength is equally crucial. This is the first time Agniveers will undergo mandatory psychological testing. This will ensure that participants are mentally prepared to handle stressful situations within the army.</p>

<p><strong>Weekly Horoscope 20 to 26 July 2025:</strong> This week, with the special grace of Lord Shiva during the holy month of Sawan, is bringing good fortune, success, and balance for some zodiac signs, while others are advised to exercise restraint, caution, and thoughtful action. Individuals from Libra to Pisces may face significant ups and downs in various aspects of life—career, health, relationships, property, and finances.</p>



<p>While Libras, Capricorns, and Aquarians need caution in their work and patience in their family life, this week could be auspicious and full of achievements for Scorpios and Pisceans. Sagittarians will have to face challenges head-on this week, but the fruits of their labour are assured.

<p>Many students in India are unable to fulfil their dream of studying at foreign universities due to high costs. Now, they will be able to do so at a lower cost while remaining in the country. This is becoming possible with the new National Education Policy. Southampton University (UK) inaugurated its first such campus in Gurugram on Wednesday. This is being considered a milestone in India&#8217;s higher education landscape.</p>



<p>Southampton University will offer degrees in computing, law, business, etc. It is expected that 5,500 students will enrol annually. According to the University Grants Commission (UGC), campuses of 15 foreign universities may be established in India by 2027. It is estimated that tuition fees here will be 25-40% lower than at their US campuses.</p>



<p>Under the new UGC regulations, the top 500 global institutions will be allowed to establish fully autonomous campuses in India, with their own admission criteria, fee structure, and degree accreditation. This will provide Indians with world-class education at a lower cost. It is estimated that an Indian student going abroad spends an average of $60,000 on education.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Universities Coming to India</h2>



<p>1- Illinois Institute of Technology (USA) will open its campus in Mumbai by 2026, offering STEM and business programs. This will be the first US university to do so.<br>2- Liverpool University, Aberdeen, and York (UK), and the University of Western Australia have received letters of intent to open their campuses by the end of 2026.<br>3- Istituto Europeo di Design (Italy) is opening its campus in Mumbai, offering degrees in fashion, product, and visual design at 25-30% less cost than its European campuses.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons for Coming to India</h2>



<ol>
<li><strong>Policy Uncertainty:</strong> Strict visa policies and political tensions during the administration of US President Donald Trump led to a decrease in enrolments. Students are hesitant to go to the US.</li>



<li><strong>Diversifying Revenue:</strong> Diversifying revenue streams amidst increasing competition, achieving financial stability along with expanding brand presence.</li>



<li><strong>Geopolitical Balancing:</strong> In an increasingly multipolar world, re-orienting its international strategy while avoiding regional disruptions.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India: A Large Market</h2>



<p>More than 50% of the population is under 30 years of age<br>Higher education is projected to exceed $300 billion by 2030<br>Currently, only 30% of college-age youth are enrolled<br>More than 1.3 million went abroad for studies in 2024.<br>More than 65% of those going abroad went to the US and Canada.</p>


<p>Under the new National Education Policy (NEP), the University of Southampton (UK) has opened its first campus in Gurugram. This will enable Indian students to study at a foreign university at a lower cost. This is a significant step in India&#8217;s higher education landscape and will provide new opportunities for students.</p>
