    NPCI offers essential tips to prevent digital payment fraud this Diwali

    Mumbai: As the festive season ignites a surge in shopping, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) emphasises the importance of digital payment security. With many customers often overlooking crucial safety practices, financial losses and emotional distress can occur. NPCI shares key advice to help shoppers navigate the festive season securely and enjoy their shopping experiences.

    Flashy offers and discounts may lead to impulse buying, but rushing to avail these deals can cause you to overlook the legitimacy of the platform. Always conduct thorough research on unfamiliar sellers and untrustworthy businesses.

    When signing up for offers, refrain from sharing excessive personal information that isn’t required, as this increases the risk of data theft.

    Avoid making purchases on unsecure networks, such as open Wi-Fi at shopping malls, which can expose your financial information to hackers.

    During the festive season, as shopping frequency increases, customers often lose track of their orders, making them vulnerable to phishing scams. Always double-check payment links before clicking to avoid fake delivery notifications.

    Finally, avoid using simple or default passwords for your accounts, as these make you an easy target for hackers. Create strong, unique passwords for each account to enhance security.

  • Sony SAB stars share their festive plans for Dhanteras 2024

    Sony SAB stars share their festive plans for Dhanteras 2024

    Mumbai: As Dhanteras approaches, signalling the start of Diwali celebrations, Sony SAB’s leading actors reveal their preparations for this auspicious occasion. Traditionally marked by the purchase of new items during the favourable muhurat, Dhanteras is a time for spiritual victory and prosperity. Here’s how these beloved stars plan to celebrate this year:

    Prachi Bansal, who portrays Sita in Shrimad Ramayan, shares, “On Dhanteras, my mom usually takes care of everything that needs to be bought. But since I’ve been living alone for some time now, I make sure to do the pooja. Whenever I have a break from shooting, I try to buy something for my mom and dad. I have never really bought anything for myself, and even this year, if I find the time, I would definitely like to buy new utensils and gold for my mom.”

    Garima Parihar, who plays Deepti in Pushpa Impossible, states, “Every Dhanteras, we usually welcome prosperity by buying gold, but this year, I’ve decided to start my Diwali celebrations with something different and exciting—a new car! It’s a fresh beginning for the festive season, and I’m sure it’s going to be an amazing ride ahead, both literally and figuratively. Here’s to embracing new traditions and looking forward to all the joy and celebrations Diwali brings!”

    Mansi Sharma, who stars as Shilpa Khanna in Badall Pe Paon Hai, notes, “On this Dhanteras, I believe it’s important to buy a silver plate for the pooja, as it brings purity and good luck. Silver has a special place in our traditions, and using it in the rituals is believed to invite blessings. This year, I’m excited to add something unique to my collection, something special that will not only be part of the celebrations but also remind me of the joy and positivity of this festive season.”

    Shefali Rana, who plays Poonam Khanna in Badall Pe Paon Hai, emphasises, “Dhanteras marks the beginning of festivities as we welcome prosperity and happiness into our homes. The preparations, like creating vibrant rangolis to adorn the entrance, lighting diyas that bring warmth and light, and decorating the home with colourful torans, are filled with excitement and anticipation. We also indulge in purchasing new clothes and jewellery, especially precious gold, which is believed to attract good fortune. Every small act, from cleaning the house to arranging for the pooja, carries a deep sense of joy and positivity, setting the tone for the festive season ahead.”
