There are several active gangs, which can take your jewellery away, in the name of polishing them. Usually they roam into colonies in the afternoon, and targets home, where lady is alone.

Such people will promise you that they will make your jewellery shining just like new. First they will ask for the Silver Jewellery, and then after making it shining, they will ask you a very less amount like Rs.10.

Thereafter he will say that they can also make your Gold Jewellery Shining. Now if the lady accepts it, then he will ask for Turmeric and a Bowl. And after getting it, he will pour water in that bowl containing Turmeric, which will convert into yellow color.

Then the cheater will say that he has polished your Gold jewellery, and after some time, you can take it out from this bowl. And then he will go away from the home.

After some time, when the lady will put her hand in that bowl, she find it empty, and till the time she tells someone about it, it gets too late.

Alert : If some person asks you for polishing your jewellery, then just shut the door down.

Mr. R.M. Malla (CMD, IDBI Bank) and Magician Mr. P.C. Sorcar Jr. launching IDBI Magic Card - 8 August 2011.

As per the Sources “IDBI Bank is the first Bank in India to launch such a unique product”.

It provides all features of a Debit Card, till you have balance in your bank account. And when your balance gets finished, this Magic Card will start working as a Credit Card.

This Magic Card will be offered to the eligible IDBI-Salaried Account Holders, where people will get the credit limit in multiples of their monthly salary.

At present, there is no Processing Fee for the IDBI Magic Card, and even there are no charges for the Cash-Withdrawal. IDBI Magic Card Comes with a daily limit of Rs. 50000, from any bank ATM or at any Point of Sale (POS) purchase. People will also get loyalty points for spending amounts from the Magic Card, along with a Insurance Cover for Stolen/Lost/Counterfeit Cards.

However there is one drawback in the IDBI Magic Card, that the interest will start as soon as you use this as a credit card, but in a normal credit card, it starts after 30-50 days, and interest rates for Magic Card are also higher than a normal Credit Card.

But in Total, Magic Card would be a nice deal for the people, and hopefully it will become a Game Changer in the Card Sector.
