A must-read, and more importantly, a book worth keeping as a reference handbook.

System out Complete: A Complete Handbook by Prasanth Nair is a practical guide to understanding and effectively using India’s Right to Information (RTI) system.

You may not need RTI every day. But when you need information from a public authority, knowing what to ask, where to ask and how to ask can make all the difference.

📖 Printed edition available on Amazon

We use UPI almost every day. But have you ever wondered who actually pays for running it?

A ₹20 tea. A ₹500 grocery bill. A ₹25,000 purchase. Money moves from one bank to another within seconds — usually without us paying anything extra.

But behind that simple QR code are banks, NPCI, payment apps, servers, cybersecurity, fraud detection and a huge 24×7 payment infrastructure.

That brings us to MDR — Merchant Discount Rate.

What exactly is MDR?
Why does the ₹2,000 threshold matter?
Who actually pays the charge?
Do personal UPI transfers remain free?
How do Google Pay, PhonePe and Paytm make money?
And where do Visa, Mastercard and RuPay fit into all this?

I’ve explained the complete UPI payment ecosystem in simple language — with a video and detailed article.

🎥 Watch the video + read the full explainer:
https://www.keralaclick.com/blog/upi-mdr-explained-why-merchant-payments-above-%e2%82%b92000-may-cost-money-and-how-the-whole-system-works/

Once you understand the difference between P2P (Person-to-Person) and P2M (Person-to-Merchant) payments, the MDR debate becomes much easier to understand.

🚧 Nadakkavu Railway Overbridge misses September 15 completion target

The construction of the Nadakkavu Railway Overbridge at Akathethara, Palakkad, has not met the September 15 deadline set by the district administration. Work is continuing, but the promised completion of road tarring on the bridge by this date has also not happened.

Metal laying on the approach roads is currently in progress. Several works are still pending, including tarring, service roads, drainage, safety barriers/handrails and works beneath the bridge.

Officials involved in the project had earlier informed an Akathethara Panchayat meeting that the overbridge could be completed only around October 10. Whether this revised target will be met remains to be seen.

Importantly, the bridge can be opened to traffic only after all works are completed and the mandatory load test is carried out.

Residents who have been waiting for this crucial infrastructure project now deserve a clear, realistic completion date - and adherence to it.
