After a long silence and meetings with the Reserve Bank of India, Paypal has started bank transfers in Indian banks but with effect they need some more information like contact number and PAN Card number.

So what does it mean?

Now RBI and Income Tax department will have easy access about the details about your transactions. If you are paying taxes honestly and retain invoices for all of your transactions, its fine for you but if you don’t it may create a problem. Who knows, they have a pact with RBI to provide information of each and very transaction.

The social networking website Orkut owned and operated by the search giant is proving to be a source of worry after a court in Brazil fined Google for not blocking pages which contained dirty jokes on Orkut.

The court in Rondonia fined Google $2700 for each day that the pages remained up and ordered the company to stop similar material being posted.

Google’s argument that the company does not have sufficient technology and staff to police Orkut rejected by the court stating that the company has already implemented such curbs on its pages in China.

China’s state-run Xinhua news agency in a signed commentary accused Google for breaking promised. It said that while entering in the Chinese market and before starting business, the search giant has promised to filter harmful and objectionable content but now suddenly they want to break their promise and criticizing the country for worsening of the investment environment.

On the other hand Google co-founder Sergey Brin has urged the US administration to make the censorship row between China and the Internet giant a “high priority”, in an interview published on Wednesday.

Google said it would no longer filter results on China based Google.cn and was redirecting mainland Chinese users to an uncensored site in Hong Kong effectively closing down the mainland site.

Updates:

Censorship still on for some customers

Google Inc is still censoring search content for some of its customers in China. The decision to provide censored searches was made to honor contracts with current business partners, and Google will continue to meet those commitments, it said.
