PROGRESSIVE DATA

I     PLANETARY PARADES:

This month, Jupiter, Mars and Venus are all shining brightly after dark,
with Saturn also visible and two other planets in tow.Here’s when, where
and how to see it — with dates of some must-see planet parades in 2025.

Planet Parade: What Is It

Please don't call it an alignment. Planets orbit the solar system on the
same plane. It's the ecliptic — the sun's path through the sky — which
means planets are always somewhat aligned. Whether you can see them depends
on how close they are to the sun, and whether or not they appear in a
parade depends on Earth's view of them.

Planet Parade: When To See It

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn are all in the night sky
this month. However, it’s tricky to see them all together. Look west; as
soon as it gets dark, you'll see Venus and Saturn, while Jupiter is in the
east. However, Venus will likely have sunk below the horizon by the time
Mars appears below Jupiter. Uranus and Neptune are not visible to the naked
eye.

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn will be visible together
in January 2025, with Jan. 21 being a good time to look in the evening.
That's when the moon reaches its Last Quarter phase, rising at midnight.

Planet Parade: When To See It In March 2025

Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn will be joined by Mercury
in the first week of March 2025, with Mar. 8 a good night to look — though
you should be in position as soon as it gets dark. Mercury, between Saturn
and Venus, will sink quickly after. A view of a crescent moon nearby will
also be possible that night.

II         RBI New Guidelines 2025: 3 Types Of Bank Account Will Be Closed
>From January 1, 2025

December 26, 2024 by Pawan Kumar

RBI New Rule 2025: Recently, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) took one of
its most crucial decisions, which will completely change the banking
industry of the country-this rule comes into effect from January 1, 2025,
and three types of bank accounts would become non-operative. This would be
the most progressive step towards making the banking system safer,
transparent, and efficient. We would discuss this newly imposed law and see
how it would affect the common man in India in this article.

This is a significant shift into the digital version of the new modern
banking in the sector. According to the RBI, such a step in removing the
three types of accounts would not only eliminate many deficiencies in the
banking system but also risks associated with them: that the interests of
customers would now be well-encompassed in better banking services.

RBI New Rule Guidelines 2025

As per new RBI rules, the three types of accounts, which will be
non-operational starting January 1, 2025, are:

1. Dormant Account- Accounts that do not have any transactions done over a
long period. Any account that does not carry out any transaction in two
years is, in general, termed as dormant.

2: Inactive Account: Such accounts are defined as accounts in which there
has been no activity fixed period (most often taken to be 1 year).

3: Zero Balance Account- an account in which no money has been deposited
for a long time and has zero balances.

Purpose of the New RBI Rules

According to the Reserve Bank of India, there are quite several purposes
that necessitate such rules:

1. Financial Safety Increase: With the closing of inactive accounts, the
risks would be reduced concerning fraudulence and its misuse.

2. Banking system efficiency improvement: Banks can then employ their
resources effectively by closing unused accounts.

3. Encourage digital banking: This will practically help the customers
switch to such use for internet banking services.

4. Enhanced compliance with KYC rules: The new rules will facilitate the
updating of the KYC (Know Your Customer) details of customers on a regular
basis.

New Delhi: Earth is home to various religions, including Hinduism, Islam,
Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, and Sikhism. Meanwhile, do
you know which country will have the highest Muslim population by 2050?
Well, according to a report published by the Pew Research Center, India is
projected to surpass Indonesia to become the country with the largest
Muslim population by 2050 (311 million). In the report ‘The Future of World
Religions: Population Growth Projections, 2010-2050,’ Pakistan is expected
to have the second-most Muslims (273 million). Followed by Pakistan,
Indonesia—the country with the largest number of Muslims in 2010—is likely
to fall to third place by 2050 with 257 million Muslims.

India to become the country with the highest Muslims by…, Hindu population
will be…

The report further states that Hindus will become the third-largest
religious group in the world. The report states that by 2050, India will
have 31 crore Muslims, making up 11% of the global Muslim population. The
report also mentions that India will continue to have the largest Hindu
population, which will grow to 1.03 billion. Currently, Indonesia has the
largest Muslim population.

A study by the Pew Research Center attributes the growing Muslim population
largely due to the young age and high fertility rate. The average age for
Muslims is 22 years, compared to 26 years for Hindus and 28 years for
Christians. In India, Muslim women have an average of 3.2 children per
woman, while Hindu women have 2.5 children, and Christian women have 2.3
children on average.

Due to the high fertility rate, the Muslim population in India is expected
to grow rapidly. In 2010, Muslims accounted for 14.4% of the total
population, and by 2050, this is expected to rise to 18.4%. Reports suggest
that India’s Hindu population is expected to surpass the Muslim populations
of the largest Muslim-majority countries, including India, Pakistan,
Indonesia, Nigeria, and Bangladesh. The report also indicates that India’s
Christian population, which currently stands at 2.5% of the total
population, will decrease to 2.3% by 2050.

The Pew Research Center, in another report, highlighted that Muslims are
the fastest-growing religious group worldwide. The Muslim population is
expected to grow at a rate faster than the global population. Currently,
Islam is the second-largest religion after Christianity, but it is now also
the fastest-growing major religion. If current demographic trends persist,
the Muslim population is projected to outnumber Christians by the end of
this century. By 2010, there were 1.6 billion Muslims globally,
representing around 23% of the world’s population.

The global population is projected to grow by 35% in the coming decades,
with the Muslim population expected to increase by 73%, reaching 2.8
billion by 2050. Most Muslims worldwide reside in the Asia-Pacific region,
which accounts for around 72% of the global Muslim population, including
significant populations in Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran,
and Turkey. Currently, Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the
world. However, by 2050, India is expected to surpass Indonesia, with 310
million Muslims, earning this distinction.
