Demonetisation status

8.5 lac crore already submitted to banks by people of 14.5 lac crores demonetised. Adding cash held by banks and government agencies (25% of circulated money) can bring down the black money remaining in system to 20%.

So demonetisation seems not to be yielding the results govt. expected. Black money holders have found a way to deposit their money back in system.

Although demonetisation was a good move but The fact remains that govt. is not spending efforts in making cashless transactions cheap and getting people interested in it.

How to save windows games

Some windows games such as Gears of war demand that you have a profile to save the game

There are two possible profiles you can create

2. Online profile

If you want to just play the game locally and not get into entering game serials/ playing online. The easiest way is to create a local profile

Just click create a local profile link on the page shown by Games for windows marketplace client during game play. (usually Second page on creating profile)

Tried it on Gears of War

How do you decide if black money is reduced in system

 Political campaigns are one of the biggest beneficiaries of black money

A helicopter ride for an hour is charged in the range of 50,000 to 2 lac rupees per hour
The limit on expenditure by a candidate by election commission of india is 10  lac rupees for Vidhansabha lections and25 lac for Loksabha elections. For smaller states it is still lower than that.

Hence all helicopter rides are paid in cash. Now if the demonetisation has rendered black money unusable, You should see your beloved leaders traveling less on helicopters, spending less on campaigns. If this doesn't happen, then you know.

Analysing money in Banking System over the past few months

This analysis is based on Money and Stock Measures Report provided by RBI on a monthly basis (links provided at the end)

Money in Banking System	In Billion Rupees	Change over previous month (in Billion Rupees)
May-16	104,550.10
Jun-16	105,089.50	539.40
Jul-16	105,899.70	810.20
Aug-16	106,448.30	548.60
Sep-16	111,653.70	5,205.40

Investigation shows the banking system (consisting of Deposit money of public, Time Deposits with Banks and Total Post Office Deposits) has received nearly 10 times more money amounting to 5205 billion or 5.2 Lac crores in September 2016 as compared to previous month.

Possible Explanations

1. Is this an annual pattern?

Possible Explanation : May be every year due to financial activity money in banking system goes up.
Conclusion: Doing the same analysis for last year data does not support this explanation.The deposit was only 386.1 Bn INR last year in September.

2015
Money in Banking System	In Billion Rupees	Change over previous month (in Billion Rupees)
Jul-15	96,931.40
Aug-15	97,454.00	522.60
Sep-15	97,840.10	386.10

2. Is this due to hike by pay commission?

Possible Explanation: May be the increase is due to arrears deposited by government due to hike by pay commission.

Conclusion: The deposit by government for arrears amount is estimated at 34,600 crores (as estimated by India Ratings and Research Private Limited). So even this explanation cannot explain the complete deposit increase.

How this calculation was done

RBI provides monthly report on the following parameters of money system

1. Currency with the public (which in simple terms is the cash You and I transact with)

2. Deposit money of the public

3. Time Deposits with Banks

4. Total Post Office Deposits

I have arrived at money in Banking system using following formula

= Total Post Office Deposits + Time Deposits with Banks + Deposit money of the public - Currency with the public

In short add all deposits with Bank and post office and subtract currency with public.

Android Studio Not Starting jvm error code -4

So the other day I got the following message when I tried to launch Android Studio

failed to create jvm error code -4 JVM Path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\jre If you already have a 32-bit JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in 

Solution

Go to the file studio.exe.vmoptions in your bin folder inside android studio installation (Usually it isC:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\)

Open the above file with notepad. some times it will not be editable so give administrative permission and change the following attributes:

-Xmx512m to -Xmx256m

-XX:MaxPermSize=250m to -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

Or change:

-Xmx750m to -Xmx512m

-XX:MaxPermSize=350m to -XX:MaxPermSize=250m




I don't know the reason of why it works (would be glad if somebody could)
