There's one major mystery in tech as we enter 2015: How will Apple's watch do?
Apple announced the Apple Watch in September. It goes on sale in "early 2015," according to Apple.
The Apple Watch is Apple's first new entry into a major product category since the iPad. It's Tim Cook's first brand new product since taking over as CEO.
As such, expectations for the product are loaded. If it fails, then it will be interpreted as a bad sign for the post-Steve Jobs era of Apple. If it's a smash hit, then it's a sign that Apple will be just fine without him.&#xa0;
Neither of those interpretations are fair since Cook has been running the company for three years now. Things are going fine. But, this will be used by many people to deliver a verdict on Cook's Apple.&#xa0;
So, what kind of hurdle does Cook have to clear? BI Intelligence charted out expectations. As you can see, they're all over the place.&#xa0;

Here's How Many Apple Watches Apple Is Expected To Sell

There has been a huge public outcry about how Maggi was allowed to advertise as a ‘healthy’ food alternative. Many are vexed about how authorities could let the brand duck for so long. 
 
 
 
The regulator in cases of broadcast is the Ministry for Information and Broadcasting law. That might work for censoring potentially objectionable content, but where are the ‘claims’ probed? 
 
Industry experts claim Maggi should have been advertised as a convenience food, and not a health food. The opposite led to the ensuing paradox. 
 
This is how it works. The FSSAI, FDA or Ministry of Health check the authenticity of the products advertised. In matters of broadcast, there are self-regulatory voluntary organizations like the Advertising Standards Council of India that keep an eye on the advertising industry. 
 
“We review complaints against objections raised against current advertisements, process them, and advertiser is given an opportunity to present their case. In case of technical claims, the advertiser furnishes the data which is reviewed by technical experts. The Consumer Complaints Council then arrives at a conclusion,” says Shweta Purandare, Secretary General, Advertising Standards Council of India. 
 
However, ASCI’s remit is limited to advertising content. 
 
Most believe that a slight lack of coordination between these seemingly diverse departments can spell disaster for the Indian masses. A group of experts and citizens believe the Maggi case should be made an example to deter future offenders. 
 
Devindar Sharma, Food and Trade Policy Analyst agrees, “This is definitely an indication of the poor food safety regulation in India. It’s also high time to introduce provisions in the Consumer Protection Act to penalize Celebrities and Advertising agencies for false advertising. Just because they can play around with words doesn’t mean they have the freedom to sell illusions.” 
 
Outrageous claims like six packs abs in 7 days, or 15 kg weight loss in 15 days can be sieved easily, but can finer claims by bigger brands go unnoticed in India? Only time would tell.

<keyword id="19936542" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivo" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Vivo" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Vivo">Vivo</keyword>'s next flagship product, the <keyword id="22590722" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vivo-X200-Pro" source="keywords">Vivo X200 Pro</keyword> is expected to launch in India soon. The phone launched in China earlier this month and since then, rumours around its India launch have been doing rounds. Building on the popularity of last year’s Vivo X100, which launched in India in December, Vivo’s new flagship is likely to follow a similar release schedule. Speculations suggest the Vivo X200 Pro could hit the Indian market as early as November or December. While Vivo remains tight-lipped about the exact launch date, recent certification listings hint at a rollout soon. With its latest model, Vivo appears to be blending its signature camera expertise with updated design and robust performance, making it a contender for photography enthusiasts, power users, and tech-savvy individuals alike. Here’s a closer look at what the X200 Pro has to offer and why it’s attracting significant buzz even before its official India debut. <h2>Vivo X200 Pro expected specs </h2> Looking at the phone that was launched in China, the Vivo X200 Pro takes a different approach from its predecessors, trading the sleek curves and edge-to-edge feel for a flat display with a boxier frame. This change in design caters to those who prefer a more substantial feel in their hands, aligning with trends seen in some premium smartphones that prioritize aesthetics and functionality. The familiar circular rear camera module, a hallmark of the X-series, remains, giving the phone a touch of continuity. While subtle, these design updates offer a refreshed yet recognisable look. Vivo’s reputation as a camera-centric brand is further cemented in the X200 Pro, which boasts an impressive camera setup in collaboration with Zeiss. The triple-lens configuration includes a 50-megapixel LYT-818 main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens for sweeping landscape shots. However, the true showstopper here is the 200-megapixel Zeiss APO telephoto camera, designed to capture minute details and offer striking zoom quality. In the front, the X200 Pro sports a 32-megapixel front camera. With software tweaks and AI enhancements, it promises to provide exceptional results, both in low light and in everyday settings. Vivo’s use of Zeiss optics and processing technology underscores its dedication to high-quality imaging, catering to everyone from casual photographers to content creators. The phone features a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also comes with a peak brightness of 4500 nits. Under the hood, the X200 Pro runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset, supported by up to 16GB of RAM and an impressive 1TB of internal storage. The X200 Pro’s 6,000mAh battery promises that the phone has the endurance to last through extended usage, and it supports 90-watt fast charging, providing a quick boost when needed. <h2>When is Vivo’s X200 Pro coming in India? </h2> Although Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the India launch date, industry experts speculate that it could be unveiled within the next two months. The recent certification sightings on Taiwan’s NCC and Malaysia’s SIRIM sites suggest that Vivo is preparing for a broader release beyond China. Given the growing demand for high-quality smartphones that can double as professional cameras, the X200 Pro is positioned to capture a significant share of India’s premium smartphone market. The expected November-December timeline could align well with holiday season sales, giving Indian consumers a chance to upgrade their devices during a peak shopping period. While official pricing remains unannounced, Vivo’s competitive pricing strategies in the past suggest the X200 Pro could appeal to a wide range of users looking for flagship features without the flagship price tag.

Just today the first death from Coronavirus in the country was reported from Karnataka, substantially increasing panic, with the government ordering closure of schools, colleges and multiplexes in cities like Delhi. While the hospitality and the entire service sector is expected to be impacted hard, the events and <keyword id="8901436" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="experiential-industry">experiential industry</keyword> is bracing itself for a few dismal quarters. With events across the globe getting postponed indefinitely or even cancelled in some cases, the experiential industry is expecting the next few quarters to be very challenging. While India has still not been affected as adversely as a few other countries, corporates are taking precautions and limiting their events. If media reports are to be believed, even big tickets events like IPL might have to be held without spectators for the first 15 days, which could affect the industry to a huge extent. AdClub’s Goafest 2020, which is a gathering of all advertising and media stalwarts and is looked forward to every year, is also postponed as several international speakers who were participating in the event have cancelled their trip to India. Facebook’s Global Marketing Summit, which was scheduled on March 9 in San Francisco is cancelled. In such a scenario, the experiential industry, which is all about creating experiences for people in huge gatherings, is obvious to face the brunt of this everyday-unfolding situation. We spoke to a few industry leaders to get a sense of how they feel this pandemic will affect the industry in the coming months, and for everybody the answer is the same, ‘How do you prepare for the unknown?’ <keyword id="8901438" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Event-and-Entertainment-Management-of-India">Event and Entertainment Management of India</keyword> (EEMA), the apex body of the experiential industry in India, recently sent out an advisory to all its members, putting together some protocols for venues that are still hosting events. The industry body set together guidelines around ‘Hygiene and Infection Control at Events’. Postponement and cancellation of many events With the government suspending travel visas and the general panic growing with each passing day, brands are refraining from organising events, which will hurt the experiential industry the most. Speaking about how the spread of the virus is already having an effect on the industry, Sabbas Joseph, Co-founder &amp; Director, Wizcraft International said, “The outbreak of the Coronavirus has caught the world of experiential marketing by shock. Multiple global events have been hit -- postponed or simply cancelled: IIFA2020, the Geneva Motor show, ITB-Berlin, the India Today Conclave, the META Awards, IMEX-Frankfurt, the Barcelona Mobile Congress…the list is endless. Additionally, product launches, promotions and activations, business conferences, business travel, MICE, exhibitions, trade shows have been simply put off or cancelled.” Adding to the list of cancelled and postponed events, Deepak Pawar, Managing Director, Midas Next added, “We had a few large events and activations for Colors, Mumbai Indians and IPL, but all of them have been canceled for now. We also had a couple of large exhibitions and conferences planned for the pharma industry and those have been postponed indefinitely. We were organizing an activation for Cadbury catering to tourists across the Himalyan belt. Since tourists are not allowed in India right now, we had to cancel that too. Similarly there was an activation planned for Lifebuoy about hygiene to avoid Coronavirus. Now since schools are also shut down, where will we do those activations?” Anticipating a few dismal quarters While India has yet not been as badly impacted as a few other countries, there are still new cases being detected everyday, with the current count being 62. As a step to contain the future spread of the virus, the government has suspended all existing visas, except diplomatic, official, UN/international organisations, employment, project visas until April 15. With it, many foreign nationals or companies that were supposed to come to the country for various events are having to cancel their travel plans. Moreover, the industry was already grappling with the effects of the economic slowdown, which was followed by riots in Delhi. Speaking about how all these factors combined will have a massive impact on the industry, Sanjoy Roy, Managing Director, Teamwork Arts and President, EEMA said, “Since February, we have postponed our festival India by the Bay in Hong Kong, India by the Bosphorus in Turkey, and another event in Morocco. In India, we have just postponed the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META). And everything else we have in the pipeline is getting pushed back. There’s that unknown factor as to what is this going to result in. While there's enough information out there, the fact that the world has reacted in a particular way means that there is more to it than meets the eye. And anyway, the economic slowdown was already impacting the industry. The biggest effect was the Auto Expo. We saw around 50% of Auto Expo disappear and many of the major players did not come, and that's a big thing for most of the event companies. If I were to talk about how the industry will perform, the quarter figures are not out yet and we won't have a sense of it right now. But I am sure both the industry as well as the quarter figures will be dismal.” Agreeing with Roy, <keyword id="52304" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Roshan-Abbas">Roshan Abbas</keyword>, Founder and Managing Director, Geometry Encompass, added, “The worst hit is the experiential business. From large sporting events to film awards, concerts to festivals all have been postponed. With the 14-day quarantine, many international speakers are also cancelling. There is a sense of panic everywhere. In these times take part in spreading information and awareness. Verify your facts. Try work from home and remote working. It’s the best time to test it. Also the only hope is to try digital events and plan for the future, cut back on all expenses. This will impact Q2 and Q3 very badly.” Tackling the crisis by going virtual The experiential business is all about direct-to-consumer engagement. The business thrives on human contact and the assembly of people is an important part of the entire offering. However, whenever a crisis hits, the only way of bouncing back is by thinking out of the box and doing things a little differently. On how brands have been reacting to the entire situation and how that might lead to an overhaul in the way the experiential industry works, Joseph said, “Brands are resetting their plans, expectations, markets, delivery systems, marketing focus and logistics. This will force the experiential industry to change its method of working, composition of team structure, use of technology, data, global resources, innovation and physical space. Collaboration and Innovation are going to be the new drivers of the experiential economy.” Dalveer Singh, Head Experiential Marketing - APAC, GroupM has come up with a plan B for this predicament. His team is trying to figure out if the experience can be digitised through some virtual or augmented reality experience. He says agencies equipped with digital skills can manage to survive else, this unfortunate situation will push them to think how to take experiential beyond mass-gatherings. “One solution can be how much of the experience that we create by being physically there, can be converted into ideas that are virtual or digital. Now that's something which we as a team are planning to do and that is our plan B. Brands wanted to have physical events because virtual does not give the same amount of joy. However, today, in these circumstances, brands will be more open to doing these events digitally because that gives them reach. So marketers will be more receptive to doing things virtually. However, in this whole environment, how many experiential marketing companies are today equipped to shift from physical to digital to virtual? There are a few companies that have those skills. This means it's also an opportunity for companies to get those new skills in,” said Singh. Singh also suggested helping each other in this dismal times, especially the smaller parties and freelancers. “For putting together an experiential marketing piece, we work with a lot of freelancers across different companies. And in this whole game, I think the small agencies and freelancers are the ones who might be affected by the heat because you are the resources for them. So, we need to figure out how to protect these small agencies and freelancers who do not have deep profits and holding capacity when the times are tough,” added Singh. While things don’t look very bright right now, the industry is still hopeful that the festive season will bring about some respite.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Apple <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-q2-earnings-preview-2015-4">reports earnings after the market closes this afternoon</a>.Wall Street analysts are expecting Apple to post $56 billion in revenue, but there's a problem with their estimate according to Gene Munster, analyst at Piper Jaffray. Street analysts aren't properly factoring in foreign exchange rates, which will ding Apple's results by 2-3%, says Munster. The US dollar has staged a huge rally over the last several months, and this is causing some issues for global corporations. Many are reporting "FX headwinds" which is jargon-y way to say that foreign exchange rates are hurting results. The basic outline here is that if say the euro falls in value against the US dollar, sales made in Europe are worth less when converted back to US dollars by Apple, which is a US-based company.During Apple's previous earnings, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-currency-impacts-2015-1">CEO Tim Cook said</a>, "Our results would have been even stronger, absent fierce foreign exchange volatility." Apple's CFO Luca Maestri said revenue growth would have been 4% higher in the holiday quarter had currency not affected results.If Munster is right on the FX headwinds, then Apple's revenue will be $54 billion, which is less than the $56 billion expected. So, that will lead to lots of people saying Apple "whiffed" on earnings. But, if it's because of foreign exchange rates, then Apple didn't miss. (Of course, you could argue that the company should be hedging against this risk, but that seems a tad nit-picky. It's tough to predict currency swings.)The key number to watch will be iPhone unit sales, which will not be impacted by FX issues. Analysts are expecting 58.1 million units sold during the quarter. If Apple is short of that number, then it will have whiffed. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-power-user-hacks-2015-4">5 clever iPhone tricks only power users know about</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="huN2Zzczr6N8qz_gUrYzZxcxaCD8z5Sv" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

And <a href="http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_187558.html">in data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting</a>, IBM Watson Health gave a snapshot of how it's playing out so far. The studies looked at concordance rates, or how often Watson for Oncology reached the same course of treatment as the cancer doctors at different cancer centers around the world. At <a href="http://www.manipalinternationalpatientcare.com/centers-of-excellence/manipal-comprehensive-cancer-centre/">Manipal Comprehensive Cancer Center</a> in India, for 112 cases of lung cancer, there was 96.4% concordance between Watson and the doctors. For 126 cases of colon cancer it was 81% of the time, and for 124 cases of rectal cancer cases were 92.7%. The concordance was in line with what IBM expected in those cases: If Watson and the docs agreed all the time, there wouldn't be much value for adding AI to the picture.But it was a bit off when it came to Watson evaluating 185 cases of gastric cancer in South Korea. There, the concordance <a href="http://abstracts.asco.org/199/AbstView_199_191277.html">was 49%</a>. Norden said that relates to the guidelines for gastric cancer being different in South Korea than at Memorial Sloan Kettering, the hospital where Watson for Oncology was trained. The data presented at ASCO are among the first that IBM Watson Health has published in peer-reviewed academic journals. And while it sets the stage for what artificial intelligence can do to help doctors treat patients with cancer, many still have lingering questions.The biggest yet-to-be-answered question: Can using AI to determine cancer treatment actually extend patients' lives compared to oncologists alone determining their treatments?Andrew Norden, the deputy chief health officer at IBM Watson Health told Business Insider that the concordance data isn't "the ultimate endpoint we're interested in," though it was the first they could get to relatively quickly. To get to studies that evaluate overall survival (that is, finding out whether using AI-powered treatment plans can increase patients' lives compared to traditional treatment plans) will take more time.Get the latest IBM stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/ibm-Quote"> here.</a> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-botton-line-henry-blodget-amazon-20-years-tesla-jcpenney-boston-dynamics-2017-5">THE BOTTOM LINE: A deep dive into Tesla's stock price and Amazon 20 years after its IPO</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video

Here's how often IBM's Watson agrees with doctors on the best way to treat cancer

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>JonesTrading's Dave Lutz has a roundup of what traders are chatting about right now.
Good Morning! US Futures are opening flat, as the world awaits our payroll number (the Survey is 235k, High Estimate 314k - Of the 10 Bloomberg "Top Forecasters" 8 of them are all below 235k, but many whispers expecting a big beat based on Seasonality, Weekly Claims Data, and tax Withholding Receipts. Also remember many retailers are "pulling Forward" the Holidays, so Seasonal Hires may come sooner than normal). In Europe, Markets are softer as more Ukraine/Russia escalation headlines hit - and Banks are underperforming as we may see fines for Currency Manipulation Next Week. Spain is getting hit worst, off 1% ahead of this weekend where Catalans will hold an unofficial independence vote in defiance of a Spanish court ruling. Over in Asia, despite the Rouble suffering biggest weekly loss since the fallout of the 1998 Russian crisis, the MICEX is near YTD highs. Nikkei popped 50bp as $/Y stayed thru 115 overnight; Continue to see Tech shares underperforming as Hang Seng lost 40bp - while China was off small. Aussie was the standout winner, as Basic Materials jumped 2% on hopes China will restart Steel Mills next week post APEC. 
Global Sovs Yields are higher - and even the PIIGs are tighter, despite the weakness in Europe. Feels like a continuation of yesterday's "Strong NFP" trade, where Yields closed on highs, and we saw sharp strength in Economically Sensitive sectors like Industrials, Retailers and Builders (nice spike off 200dma). The DXY is stronger as well, just above 88 and near yesterday's peaks, causing a headwind for commodities. That said, WTI continues to rally, up 50bp on Export hopes and oversold conditions - Natty Gas is finally taking a breather after leaping 14% this week - and we still see little life in Metals, with Silver, Copper and Gold around unch/slightly lower - It's early, but the Miners (GDX/GDXJ) have recovered from that 30mln share dump on the close, and are marked higher again this AM - following yesterday's sharp outperformance against the Metal. 
Aside from the aforementioned - keep an eye on the Banks - They are lagging early into Next Week's Fine announcement, but the 3M5Y curve is steeper, so tailwinds are blowing. Keep an eye on Oil's impact to HYG - HYG has been weighed sharply by carnage in the Energy HY Sector (15% overall) - and stability may cause a sharp rebound. We have seena reversal lower this week in High Beta - and IBB/XBI start with a major headwind in SLXP (#15 Holding IBB, 1.9% Fund). Scheduled Catalysts include our Employment report at 8:30, Fed's Evans Speaks on Economy at 9:15, Fed's Yellen Speaks on "Policy Since the Crisis" at 10:15, At 1pm we get the Baker Hughes Rig Count - then Fed's Tarullo Speaks on Community Banking at 2:30. 3pm brings Consumer Credit, and the week wraps with the "Commitment of Traders" data at 3:30.

After reaching 8.3 per cent in FY17, growth decelerated to 4.0 per cent in <keyword id="2708116" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="FY20">FY20</keyword>, it said. The slowdown was caused by a <keyword id="6354942" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="decline">decline</keyword> in private consumption growth and shocks to the financial sector (the collapse of a large non-bank finance institution), which compounded pre-existing weaknesses in investment, it said. Given the significant uncertainty pertaining to both epidemiological and policy developments, the real GDP growth for FY21/22 can range from 7.5 to 12.5 per cent, depending on how the ongoing vaccination campaign proceeds, whether new restrictions to mobility are required, and how quickly the world economy recovers, the World Bank said. "It is amazing how far India has come compared to a year ago. If you think a year ago, how deep the recession was... unprecedented declines in activity of 30 to 40 per cent, no clarity about vaccines, <keyword id="11020750" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="huge-uncertainty">huge uncertainty</keyword> about the disease. And then if you compare it now, India is bouncing back, has opened up many of the activities, started vaccination and is leading in the production of vaccination," Hans Timmer, World Bank Chief Economist for the South Asia Region, told in an interview. However, the situation is still incredibly challenging, both on the pandemic side with the flare up that is being experienced now. It is an enormous challenge to vaccinate everybody in India, the official said. "Most of the people underestimate the challenge," he said. On the economic side, Timmer said that even with the rebound and there is uncertainty here about the numbers, but it basically means that over two years there was no growth in India and there might well have been over two years, a decline in per capita income. "That's such a difference with what India was accustomed to. And it means that there are still many parts of the economy that have not recovered or have not fared as well as they would have without a pandemic. There is a huge concern about the financial markets," Timmer said. "As economic activity normalises, domestically and in key export markets, the current account is expected to return to mild deficits (around 1 per cent in FY22 and FY23) and capital inflows are projected by continued accommodative monetary policy and abundant international liquidity conditions," the report said. Noting that the COVID-19 shock will lead to a long-lasting inflexion in India's fiscal trajectory, the report said that the general government deficit is expected to remain above 10 per cent of GDP until FY22. As a result, public debt is projected to peak at almost 90 per cent of GDP in FY21 before declining gradually thereafter. As growth resumes and the labour market prospects improve, poverty reduction is expected to return to its pre-pandemic trajectory. The poverty rate (at the USD 1.90 line) is projected to return to pre-pandemic levels in FY22, falling within 6 and 9 per cent, and fall further to between 4 and 7 per cent by FY24, the World Bank said. The Indian economy, Timmer said, has bounced back from the initial enormous hit. "It has bounced back even quicker than we initially thought. The availability of vaccines helped a lot there. That made it possible to open up more and in general to improve confidence in the economy. "If you have no further deterioration or fall back then, that means that the economy this year would grow around nine per cent. With some additional growth you are in double digits. That's the positive story," Timmer said, adding that there is also the uncertainty. India also has the advantage as compared to some of the other countries that it has foreign direct investment inflows. "(This) probably has to do also with the geopolitical changes in the world economy... investors moving away from China and looking at India. That is an advantage, but you don't see very strong investments, you see some first signs of domestic investments recovering, that is still an uncertain point," Timmer said. Responding to a question, Timmer said it is "impressive" how quickly the Indian government came up with relief efforts including the transfer of money, measures allowing companies to forego debt service. "Given the difficult situation, I think that was very impressive. At the same time, it was not enough because, and that's one of the lessons of the crisis. "There are so many people and so many, very small companies that are really difficult to reach, and you need a more comprehensive overhaul of the whole system to make the support a lot more universal," Timmer added. According to officials, India has so far registered 1,20,95,855 COVID-19 cases and 1,62,114 fatalities. The number of people who have recuperated from the disease surged to 1,13,93,021, while the case fatality rate stands at 1.34 per cent.

With the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections fast approaching, the media is abuzz with elections and polling related topics. But there is a lot of misinformation about how NRIs can vote in the forthcoming elections. A few months back, the Lok Sabha passed a bill that allowed proxy voting by NRIs. The measure followed the concerns that NRIs also need the proxy voting facility to cast their votes in the same way the service personnel make use of this arrangement. The Ministry of External Affairs has estimated that over 3.10 crores of NRIs are living across different countries in the world. The Lok Sabha felt it was necessary to respect the contributions of these NRIs who are doing well in different parts of the globe and give them voting rights in India. While framing the rules that will allow the NRIs to vote through a proxy, the government said it will also ensure that the system is not misused by anyone. The EC cautions about fake news On its official website, the Election Commission has issued a warning not to believe the fake news being circulated in the media that the NRIs holding a valid Indian passport can vote online in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections. It has confirmed that there is no online voting facility given to any category of voter as per the present state of things. How an NRI can vote? At present, there are two remote voting facilities available in India namely postal ballot and proxy voting. Postal ballot lets the voter vote via post. This facility is available to the armed forces personnel, electors facing preventive detention and those people on election duty. The proxy voting facility is at present made available for the armed personnel, police personnel and the government officials who are posted outside of India. This arrangement lets the concerned individual authorize another person living in his or her area to cast a vote on their behalf. The bill that wished to extend the proxy voting to NRIs was passed in the Lok Sabha, but could not get approved in the Rajya Sabha and hence got lapsed. Since India does not support online voting and hence the proxy voting bill could not come through successfully, the only way an NRI can vote during the upcoming elections is to personally visit the polling booth and exercise his or her franchise. Registering of overseas voters NRIs can vote in their hometown by visiting the polling booth personally on the date of polling after registering as an overseas voter. The form is available online at <a href="http://ecisveep.nic.in/voters/overseas-voters/">http://ecisveep.nic.in/voters/overseas-voters/</a>. Alternatively, it can also be collected from any nearest Indian mission. The duly filled in form with the supporting documents asked can be supported to the Electoral Registration Officer in the respective constituency either in person or via post. Once the details are verified, the ECI will approve the candidate as an overseas voter. This candidate needs to get an EPIC card upon returning to India by re-registering as a general voter.
