ALL GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS OVER RS 1,000 SHOULD BE MADE OR RECEIVED ELECTRONICALLY.

New Delhi, Feb24,2012 (TNN): A Nandan Nilekani-headed panel has recommended that all government payments over Rs 1,000 should be made or received electronically as this would help reduce graft and bring about greater transparency and accountability.

The final report of the task force on Aadhar-Enabled Unified Payment structure has also recommended that beneficiaries of all social safety net programmes such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and recipients of direct subsidy transfer payments (cooking gas, fertilisers, kerosene, etc) can benefit by receiving their payments electronically, directly into their accounts at either banks or post offices.

How to Assign a Static IP Address in XP, Vista, or Windows 7

When organizing your home network it’s easier to assign each computer it’s own IP address than using DHCP. Here we will take a look at doing it in XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
If you have a home network with several computes and devices, it’s a good idea to assign each of them a specific address. If you use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), each computer will request and be assigned an address every time it’s booted up. When you have to do troubleshooting on your network, it’s annoying going to each machine to figure out what IP they have.
Using Static IPs prevents address conflicts between devices and allows you to manage them more easily. Assigning IPs to Windows is essentially the same process, but getting to where you need to be varies between each version.
Windows 7
To change the computer’s IP address in Windows 7, type network and sharing into the Search box in the Start Menu and select Network and Sharing Center when it comes up.

Then when the Network and Sharing Center opens, click on Change adapter settings.
