Robinhood Army Ghaziabad is set to fight the common enemy of all – Hunger! Robinhood Army, or RHA, is a volunteer based organization focused to eliminate hunger and food wastage. This Independence day they are going to feed 1 million people in need in India and Pakistan. The mission crosses borders and inspires to rise above boundaries and work for humanity.

RHA Ghaziabad chapter endeavors to feed and impact around 10,000 people. They will be organizing a program for students of Lal Bahadur Shastri School, Vasundhara and serve the generally neglected people such as society guards and helpers, apart from their regular food distribution drive.

For this noble cause they are getting a lot of media attention and praise. With big brands like Zomato, Xiaomi and Uber coming on board the magnitude is something to look out for. Let’s see how this turns out on 15th August.

New Delhi: The government has deleted or deactivated 11.4 lakh income tax permanent account numbers (PAN) to weed out duplication. 

Under the law, an individual can have only one PAN and the government has over the years sought to weed out duplicate PANs but has found itself wanting. As a result, it has opted to link PAN with Aadhaar, a move that triggered controversy, too.

"Linkage of Aadhaar number into PAN database will allow a robust way of de-duplication as Aadhaar number is based on biometric attributes of fingerprints and iris images. Further, seeding of Aadhaar will allow the income tax department to weed out any undetected duplicate PANs.
