For most people, taking a personal loan starts with one big question: "How much can I actually borrow?" To help individuals make more informed financial decisions, Bajaj Finance offers a personal loan eligibility calculator that provides an instant estimate of loan eligibility based on a few basic financial details. Bajaj Finance Personal Loan The tool enables prospective borrowers to estimate the loan amount they may qualify for before starting the application process. This helps users plan their finances more effectively and choose a loan amount that fits their repayment capacity. What is the Bajaj Finance Personal Loan eligibility calculator? Bajaj Finance Personal Loan Eligibility Calculator is a free online tool that helps individuals understand how much they may qualify for based on their financial profile before starting the application process. Users simply enter a few key details: Monthly income Monthly expenses City of residence Date of birth Within seconds, the calculator returns an estimated eligible loan amount. This gives borrowers the confidence to choose a loan amount and repayment tenure that genuinely fits their budget rather than guessing. Consider a marketing executive in Mumbai earning Rs. 75,000 per month with fixed monthly expenses of Rs. 35,000. A quick check on the Bajaj Finance Personal Loan Eligibility Calculator reveals they may qualify for up to Rs. 20 lakh, helping them make a more informed borrowing decision before proceeding with an application. Bajaj Finance Personal Loan: Key features at a glance personal loan with features designed to serve a wide range of financial needs from planned expenses like home renovation and education, to urgent requirements like medical treatment or debt consolidation. Here's what eligible borrowers can expect: Feature Details Loan Amount Rs. 40,000 Rs. 55 Lakh Interest Rate 10% 30% per annum Repayment Tenure 12 108 months Disbursal Time Within 24 hours* Collateral Required None The interest rate offered to any individual depends on factors such as income level, employment type, credit score, and overall repayment capacity. What's new: Repayment tenure extended to 108 months One of the standout updates to the Bajaj Finance Personal Loan is the extended repayment tenure now stretching up to 108 months (9 years). This is a meaningful development for borrowers who need higher loan amounts but want to keep their monthly EMIs manageable. A longer tenure spreads the repayment across more months, reducing the financial strain on a household's monthly budget. For example, a borrower taking a Rs. 10 lakh loan at 14% per annum interest would pay considerably lower monthly EMIs over 108 months compared to a 36-month tenure though it's worth noting that a longer tenure also means paying more in total interest over time. Using the eligibility calculator alongside an EMI calculator can help borrowers find the right balance between EMI affordability and total interest outgo. Who can benefit from the eligibility calculator? The tool is designed for anyone who wants to borrow responsibly. Some common use cases include: Homeowners planning renovation or repair projects Parents financing their child's higher education Professionals seeking funds for skill development or certification Individuals managing medical emergencies or unplanned expenses Borrowers looking to consolidate multiple debts into a single, structured loan The calculator is especially useful for first-time borrowers who may be unfamiliar with how income and expense ratios affect loan eligibility. How to apply for the Bajaj Finance Personal Loan The personal loan application process is simple and can be completed online in just a few minutes: Applicants can begin by visiting the Bajaj Finance website and navigating to the Personal Loan page. They are required to enter their desired loan amount and preferred repayment tenure. Once the details are filled in, applicants can click on "CHECK LOAN OFFER" to proceed. They will then need to provide their personal, financial, and employment details as prompted. Applicants can review the available loan offer presented to them based on their profile. They are then required to complete their KYC verification as part of the process. Bank account details must be verified at this stage to facilitate disbursal. Finally, applicants can submit their application to complete the process. Understanding the interest rate The Bajaj Finance Personal Loan interest rate ranges from 10% to 30% per annum. The actual rate offered to an applicant may vary depending on factors such as: Credit score and credit history Monthly income and employment stability Existing financial obligations Loan amount and repayment tenure selected Borrowers are advised to check their credit report before applying, as a strong credit profile can result in more favourable terms. Why planning before borrowing matters It is important to assess loan affordability before applying. Borrowing more than one can comfortably repay can lead to missed EMIs, credit score damage, and long-term financial stress. Tools such as the Bajaj Finance Personal Loan Eligibility Calculator can help borrowers estimate their eligibility in advance, providing greater clarity during the decision-making process. Understanding potential eligibility before applying allows individuals to set realistic expectations, compare financing options, and plan repayments more effectively. As personal loans continue to be a popular financing option for a wide range of needs, eligibility assessment tools can play an important role in helping borrowers make informed and responsible borrowing decisions. *Terms and conditions apply. *Disbursal timelines and loan eligibility are subject to lender assessment and document verification.

The Untold Story of Team India Spin Coach Sairaj Bahutule
With the Test against Afghanistan at New Chandigarh, former India player Sairaj Bahutule began his new innings with Team India, this time not as a player but as India's new spin-bowling coach. India has never lacked for big-name spinners, and compared to them, former India leg-spinner Sairaj Bahutule was neither as prominent nor as well-known. The truth is that his name may not be popular with Gen Z as he was not in the news in recent years for some controversy or some juicy stories. He has consistently been involved in cricket and not only coached the IPL sides (this season Punjab Kings), but also previously served in the India Under-19, India A and domestic sides. Bahutule himself played two Tests and eight ODIs, taking five international wickets. Clearly, he wasn't very successful in international cricket and accordingly didnt get many opportunities. However, in a first-class career spanning nearly two decades, he took 630 wickets, scored over 6,000 runs, and took 197 wickets in List A cricket. He played in six Ranji Trophy finals (all for Mumbai), winning all of them. The most talked-about of these was the 2003-04 final, in which he scored 92 runs, lower down the order. Currently around 53, Bahutule's resume as a coach is comparatively much better. He retired from cricket and served as head coach of Vidarbha, Kerala, Gujarat, and Bengal. In the IPL, he was spin-bowling coach for Rajasthan Royals and then Punjab Kings. He was also associated with the BCCI and coached at the Center of Excellence in Bengaluru from 2021 to 2024. He was the bowling coach for the Indian team that won the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2022 and was part of the support staff for the 2024 edition of the event also. He has also worked as a specialist bowling coach on several other assignments. In India, there aren't many coaches with such an active resume. Well, now he's got his biggest promotion, and what could be a bigger responsibility than joining Team India's support staff? This role with Team India will open the doors of international assignments for him. With the opportunity to play international cricket drying, Bahutule intended to remain involved with the game as a coach. Thats why while still playing cricket, when an opportunity came to coach the Vidarbha side, he grabbed it with both hands and announced his retirement. He became only the 9th bowler to take 400 wickets in the Ranji Trophy. Despite all this, Bahutule is disappointed that he never played in the IPL. He played List A cricket until 2010, T20 cricket until 2011, and first-class cricket until 2013, but franchises focused more on his age than his skill. Especially in the first two seasons of the IPL, he was one of the most successful spinners in India. Bhuutule holds a unique record that often goes unnoticed when his name is mentioned. He holds the India record for missing the most matches during his One Day International career. He played seven ODI between December 1997 and January 1998 but returned to Team India in November 2003 to play another one. During that period, Team India had played 196 consecutive ODI in which he was not part of the team. He failed to make a significant impact upon his return and was sidelined thereafter. In Indian cricket, the most discussed story of a cricketers recovery from a traumatic car accident gets connected with Rishabh Pant. The story of Sairaj Bahutules accident was no less tragic. In July 1990, the car accident of Vivek Singh, son of famous singers Jagjit and Chitra Singh, in which he died was in the headlines. Sairaj Bahutule, his close friend, was also with him in the car and was lucky to survive. He broke my femur, and had a major fracture on his right leg, and needed to have a steel rod inserted in the leg. He also slipped into a coma, and it was very, very tough. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The medical aid and familys support helped him, particularly his fathers support, who himself was a Ranji cricketer. His father Vasant, who played for Maharashtra, kept on motivating him to get back to playing cricket. The steel rod was removed a year after the accident and very soon he started playing for the senior Mumbai team as well as got picked for the India Under-19 squad against New Zealand.

SKUAST-K National Conclave :Milk, meat, eggs to drive next wave of economy in J&K: Experts
Veterinarians custodians of public health; students should be job creators, not seekers Abid Bashir Srinagar, Jun 07: The economy of Jammu andKashmir andrest of the country is rapidly becoming dependent on the livestock sector through enhanced production of milk, meat and eggs. Veterinarians are the driving force behind the countrys vibrant economy while protecting food and environmental safety. This was stated by Padma Shri awardee (2026) and ethno-veterinary medicine expert Dr Punniya Murthywhile addressing the National Conclave on Reimagining Veterinary Education at SKUAST-Kashmir. Highlighting the growing importance of animal husbandry in economic development, Dr Murthy described veterinarians as the custodians of One Health, saying their role now extends far beyond animal treatment to safeguarding human health, food safety and environmental sustainability. Milk, meat and eggs will drive the next wave of economy in J&K and the country for sure, Dr Murthy said. He said veterinarians play a key role in controlling zoonotic diseases, ensuring nutritional security and maintaining ecological balance, making veterinary sciences central to sustainable development and public health. Speaking at the conclave, Dr Bhanu Pratap Chowdhary, Professor Emeritus at Texas A&M University, USA, stressed the need to align Indian veterinary education with global standards. He said India has enormous job potential in the veterinary and livestock sectors, but emphasised that students need to move beyond the traditional mindset of relying solely on government employment. There is a huge scope for entrepreneurship and private ventures in veterinary sciences. Students should aim to become job creators rather than job seekers, he said. Maj Gen (Dr) Pramod Batra, Head of Hospital Administration and Services at TATA Trusts SAH, Mumbai, spoke on Co-creating the Future: Industry-Academia Partnerships to Forge a Globally Competent Veterinary Workforce. He said no country can aspire to become a developed nation without strengthening the agriculture and animal husbandry sectors. Dr Batra also revealed that a National Veterinary Commission is coming up in the country and suggested that the proposed body should not function merely as a regulatory authority, but should also financially support veterinary institutions to strengthen infrastructure, innovation and research. Vice Chancellor SKUAST-K Professor Nazir Ahmad Ganai, in his speech, said thatto become a developed nation, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry hold the key.People in J&K have gradually moved beyond the traditional concept of maintaining one cow or one sheep at home with livestock entrepreneurship increasingly emerging as a viable economic model, he said. At SKUAST-K, we are making our students creative so that they become job givers instead of job seekers. The conclave brought together eminent academicians, policymakers and veterinary experts from across the country to deliberate on reforms aimed at transforming veterinary education for a developed India by 2047.

Data residency tells you where information is stored. Operational control tells you who can disable, audit, patch, or throttle the system that processes it FUTURECRAFT | TECHNOLOGY & MARKETS ARSSH KUMAR On 15 May 2026, at a ceremony witnessed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Indias Foreign Secretary and the CEO of Abu Dhabis G42 formalised the commercial terms for Condor Galaxy India. The system will deliver eight exaflops of AI compute, making it one of the most powerful AI clusters on Indian soil. The government described it as a milestone in sovereign AI. That word deserves some examination. Indias sovereign AI agenda has real substance behind it. The IndiaAI Mission has allocated over Rs 10,372 crore to build domestic compute capacity. Sarvam AI and BharatGen have launched foundation models trained on Indian data. The Bhashini platform migrated to indigenous infrastructure in February 2026. These are not trivial achievements. But the infrastructure being celebrated as sovereign at the Abu Dhabi signing ceremony is installed, operated, and maintained by a firm chaired by the UAEs national security adviser and backed by Abu Dhabis state sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala. The data will sit within Indian borders. The company running the hardware will not. What sovereignty actually requires The governments standard claim is that data residency equals sovereignty. As long as data does not cross the border, the argument goes, the infrastructure qualifies as national. This framing collapses an important distinction. Data residency tells you where information is stored. Operational control tells you who can disable, audit, patch, or throttle the system that processes it. G42 is not an independent commercial firm. Its chairman, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is the UAEs national security adviser and a brother of the president. Mubadala, Abu Dhabis sovereign wealth fund, holds a stake in the company. Under the framework formalised on 15 May, a G42 unit will handle installation, operations, and maintenance of the supercomputer. This means the operational control layer of Indias most powerful AI cluster reports, ultimately, to a foreign state apparatus. A legal concept worth noting here is what scholars of AI governance call remote disablement: a foreign vendor, under compulsion from its home government or pursuant to contractual terms, can restrict or disable hardware deployed on Indian territory. A system whose inferential capacity runs on infrastructure subject to foreign jurisdiction is not sovereign in any meaningful operational sense. It is leased. The hardware layer underneath The G42 issue is the most visible part of a deeper structural problem. Indias broader AI infrastructure is built almost entirely on foreign silicon. The IndiaAI Mission has onboarded 38,000 Nvidia GPUs, available at Rs 65 per GPU-hour. Yottas Shakti Cloud, billed as sovereign AI cloud infrastructure, is adding 20,736 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs at its Greater Noida campus. Reliances one-gigawatt AI data centre in Gujarat is being built on Blackwell architecture. L&T is constructing gigawatt-scale AI factory infrastructure in Chennai and Mumbai, also on Nvidia systems. Every one of these chips is subject to US export licensing. Under the Biden administrations AI Diffusion framework, India was placed in Tier 2 with a cumulative cap equivalent to roughly 50,000 H100-class GPUs through 2027. For context: a single American hyperscaler deploys more than that for a single project. Indias entire two-year allocation is a rounding error in the US domestic AI buildout. The Trump administration rolled back the formal diffusion rules in 2025, but the underlying architecture of export control authority remains intact. Washington can reinstate access restrictions. The hardware layer is a foreign chokepoint dressed in Indian branding. The G42 trust problem G42s recent history complicates the picture further. In January 2024, the US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party wrote to the Commerce Secretary calling for an investigation into G42s ties to Huawei, BGI Genomics, and entities linked to the PRCs military-civil fusion programme. The committee noted that G42s CEO, Peng Xiao, was affiliated with an expansive network of UAE and China-based companies developing dual-use technologies. G42 subsequently divested its Chinese holdings and accepted US-imposed constraints as a condition of Microsofts $1.5 billion investment. India is now deploying the same firm as the operator of its national AI supercomputer. That G42 cleaned up its China entanglements to access American capital is not the same as saying those entanglements are irrelevant to Indias strategic calculus. The company that holds the maintenance contract on Condor Galaxy India is the same company that, two years ago, was under active US Congressional pressure over its ties to Chinese military-linked entities. Indias security establishment is presumably aware of this. Whether it has been adequately weighed against the compute access on offer is another question. The steelman: why India may have no choice The counter-argument is serious and should not be dismissed. Indias domestic chip manufacturing capacity does not exist yet. Tatas Dholera fab, the countrys first semiconductor fabrication facility, received its Special Economic Zone notification in April 2026 and is targeting trial production at 28 nanometre nodes by late 2026. The frontier AI chips that matter for model training operate at three to four nanometres. The gap between where Indian silicon manufacturing starts and where it needs to be for AI sovereignty is not a few years; it is a decade or more of sustained investment and industrial development. CFR has argued that for countries like India, the more urgent risk is not dependency per se but being locked out of AIs benefits entirely while the technology compounds elsewhere. On that framing, the G42 deal and the Nvidia infrastructure buildout are the pragmatic path: take the compute now, build domestic capability in parallel, and accept the dependency as a transitional cost. That argument holds for civilian AI applications. It is harder to sustain when the infrastructure in question is being positioned as the foundation of Indias national AI security posture, with the government using sovereignty language at the signing ceremony. The word sovereignty implies a degree of control that

Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs: Shivam Dube-led ARCS Andheri let a winning position slip away as Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs staged a sensational late comeback to clinch a seven-run victory in the T20 Mumbai League 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Chasing 172, Andheri were cruising for large parts of the innings before a dramatic collapse in the final four overs saw Ankur Singh's brilliant spell of 4/39 turn the match on its head. Andheri endured an early setback with Divyaansh Sksena (10) and Musheer Khan (1) departing cheaply, leaving the side reeling at 18/2. Impact Player Ayush Jethwa and the in-form Prasad Pawar rebuilt the innings with a crucial 58-run partnership for the third wicket after the early setbacks. While Jethwa contributed a fluent 36, Pawar once again underlined his consistency, bringing up his third half-century of the season with a composed 54 off 39 deliveries that included three fours and two sixes. The Tigers, however, fought back through Naman Pushpak, who broke the stand by removing Jethwa, before Shams Mulani dismissed Pragnesh Kanpillewar (15) to apply further pressure. Andheri regained control when skipper Dube launched a counterattack, hammering 25 off just 13 balls with three towering sixes to leave his side firmly in command of the chase. However, Dubes dismissal proved to be the turning point. Ankur struck repeatedly at the death as Andheri lost five wickets in the final three overs, collapsing from a winning position and handing the Tigers a dramatic victory. Earlier, Aakash Tigers MWS recovered from an early setback through a valuable 44-run partnership between Jay Gokul Bista and Varun Lavande for the second wicket. Bista chipped in with 35. Ajit Yadav, later, anchored the innings with a fluent 55, striking five fours and three sixes. The Tigers looked set for a bigger total at one stage, but regular wickets in the latter half of the innings prevented them from capitalising on the platform, eventually finishing on 171/6. For Andheri, Ajay Mishra was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/18, while Dube chipped in with 1/31. The Tigers looked set for a bigger total at one stage, but regular wickets in the latter half of the innings prevented them from capitalising on the platform, eventually finishing on 171/6.

Nuvama Pri T20 Mumbai League: Batting icon Rohit Sharma has backed newly-appointed India T20I captain Shreyas Iyer to thrive in his new role, while hailing the T20 Mumbai League as an important platform for nurturing the next generation of cricketers. Rohit's remarks came on a night when 21,708 fans packed the Wankhede Stadium for a star-studded Nuvama Pri T20 Mumbai League 2026 clash between SOBO Mumbai Falcons and Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, featuring Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav. Iyer marked his recent elevation as India's T20I captain with a match-winning 61 off 36 balls, guiding the Falcons to a five-wicket victory. The Face of the League, Rohit said Mumbai cricket's demanding environment helps prepare players for leadership roles at the highest level. Playing in Mumbai teaches you a lot of things. And if you ask anyone who has captained India or Mumbai, they'll tell you the same thing. Because nothing comes easy here, he said. You have to really earn it. So, captaincy is also something that you have to earn and earn the respect of people around you. And that is something that all these guys have. The World Cup-winning India captain pointed to the journeys of Mumbai cricketers who have gone on to lead the national side, citing both Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer as examples of resilience and leadership. You've seen Surya who led India to the World Cup final. Look, he made his India debut at 31, if I'm not wrong. Which means that he never gave up. He always wanted to be in the fight. And when it came, he wanted to grab it with both hands. And he did it. Now, Shreyas has been announced as a T20 captain. And I'm sure looking at how he has captained in the last few years for his franchise in Mumbai and all of that, he's going to have a good time as well. Rohit also underlined the importance of the T20 Mumbai League in providing opportunities for emerging cricketers and strengthening Mumbai's cricketing ecosystem. We want the platform for all the players to come out and show their talent. And this is the perfect platform for a lot of these guys who are playing and taking part in it. Last year was a huge success, I saw it. A lot of people turned up as well, he said. Now, Shreyas has been announced as a T20 captain. And I'm sure looking at how he has captained in the last few years for his franchise in Mumbai and all of that, he's going to have a good time as well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rohit also credited Mumbai Cricket Association President Ajinkya Naik and his team for successfully staging the tournament and ensuring high standards despite the challenges of hosting it immediately after the IPL season. Huge credit to Ajinkya [Naik] and his team for putting up this show and a wonderful platform for everyone. And what I've been hearing from everyone is that there hasn't been any compromise. It's never easy, especially after the IPL. I know how tough it is, not just for the players but also not to forget the groundsmen who have been here day in, day out. That shows the people involved in the T20 Mumbai League are quite passionate as well. Article Source: IANS
