@uruthecardsgeek What about bizblack

Want an HDFC Credit Card without income proof? You can get these HDFC cards against a Fixed Deposit (FD): 💳🔒 • Regalia Gold — FD ₹3.35L • Diners Privilege — FD ₹2.20L • Millennia — FD ₹1.15L • MoneyBack+ — FD ₹35K • Freedom Card — FD ₹15K • IOCL Card — FD ₹15K • Biz First — FD ₹20K • Biz Grow — FD ₹55K • Biz Power — FD ₹3.35L ⚠️ Important Note: If you already hold an HDFC co-branded card (Swiggy, Tata Neu, Marriott, etc.), the chances of getting an HDFC core card are very slim. Regalia Gold on FD is one of the best hidden credit card hacks in India. 🚀 #HDFCBank #CreditCards #FixedDeposit #RegaliaGold

@VinojBJP @TVKVijayHQ Bro is saying centre won't reduce the tax component but asks the state government to play it's part in reducing the taxes. Woww

சர்வதேச போர்ச் சூழல் காரணமாக கச்சா எண்ணெய் கொள்முதலில் ஏற்பட்டிருக்கக் கூடிய விலை உயர்வு மற்றும் இதர பிரச்சினைகளை சமாளிக்கும் விதமாக, பெட்ரோல், டீசலுக்கு தமிழ்நாடு அரசு விதிக்கும் வரியை குறைத்து தமிழக மக்கள் பலனடைய செய்ய முதலமைச்சர் திரு. @TVKVijayHQ அவர்கள் நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும் என்று கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்.

@MacroMatrix1 So what is TVK actually trying to say by illegal tenders, how can that happen when there is such a formulated process

What is the process for Tender in Tamil Nadu ? Ever wondered how the government decides who gets to build that new flyover, supply school laptops, or pave the roads in your neighborhood? It isn’t decided by a simple handshake behind closed doors. Because taxpayer money is on the line, public procurement in Tamil Nadu is bound by strict legal frameworks designed to keep the system fair, open, and highly competitive. Here is a quick,breakdown of how the public tender process actually works. The Rulebook The entire system is anchored by the Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders Act, 1998, and the accompanying Rules of 2000. At its core, this legislation makes it illegal for state departments, municipal corporations, or government agencies to procure goods or services without an open tender process. It is the definitive guide on how public money must be spent. The Step-by-Step Process • 1. The Blueprint (Notice Inviting Tenders - NIT) The government department identifies a need and drafts an NIT. This document acts as the rulebook for the specific job. It outlines the exact technical specifications, the estimated budget, the eligibility criteria for contractors, and the deadlines. • 2. Going Public (Publication) To ensure maximum competition and prevent monopolies, the tender must be widely advertised. It is uploaded to the state's central online portal, listed in government bulletins, and for higher-value contracts, advertised in major English and Tamil daily newspapers. • 3. The Preparation Window (Time Limits) Bidders need adequate time to run the numbers and submit a realistic proposal. By law, the government must provide a minimum bidding window: • 15 days for contracts valued under ₹2 Crores. • 30 days for contracts valued over ₹2 Crores. (Note: Shorter notice periods are strictly reserved for verified emergencies and require written sign-off from higher-ups). • 4. The Two-Cover System (Submission) To keep the evaluation fair, contractors usually submit their bids in two separate digital "covers": • Cover A (Technical): Proves the contractor is capable. It contains their past experience, financial stability, equipment ownership, and a security deposit. • Cover B (Financial): Contains the actual price the contractor is quoting to do the job. • 5. The Reveal & Evaluation Tenders are opened at a predetermined time, often in front of the bidders to maintain transparency. The authorities check the Technical covers first. If a contractor doesn't meet the strict technical criteria, they are disqualified immediately. • 6. The Award (The L1 Bidder) Finally, the Financial covers of only the technically qualified bidders are opened. The contract is generally awarded to the L1 Bidder the "Lowest Evaluated Responsive Bidder." Simply put, the qualified contractor who offers the best price to the taxpayer wins the job. Where to Verify and Follow Along 🔍 True transparency means the public can check the receipts. If you want to see exactly what the government is buying, who is bidding, and who is winning, the records are public. • The Tender Portal: You can view active tenders, download the official documents, and track contract awards on the official Government of Tamil Nadu eProcurement System: tntenders.gov.in. @TVKVijayHQ #TVKVijay‌ #TVKVijay‌HQ #DMK #ADMK #BJP #Congress #Tamilnadu #Tender

5 minutes after takeoff from MAA. Chennai’s geography itself explains why airport expansion is such a difficult issue. Water bodies, dense settlements and space constraints everywhere. From above, it becomes clear why Parandur is the only viable long-term option for the city.

Reshare. Repost. All docs related to Parandur Project in one place. We need fo educate people on why it is needed & why the site was chosen...🙏 Link 🔗 : data.opencity.in/dataset/chenna…

@MacroMatrix1 I agree with your other points. Your doing great work Keep it up 👍👍

Agreed I have posted yesterday how much centre is giving to every state. This is to not attack DMK, this is comparison of performance with other peer state. In white paper it should be there. Without comparison metrics one cannot gauge the performance. I have isolated the centre amount. I have posted fiscal performance of all state with their own revenue. I will provide more detailed post how much Center GST is going to every state.

DMK government 5 year term Fiscal performance comparison with all major peer state. GSDP is second compare to peer. Lagging or doing worst than peers 1. Revenue Receipts/GSDP% 2. Fiscal Deficit/GSDP% 3. Debt/GSDP % 4. Committed Expenditure Almost 27% of revenue receipts coming from TASMAC. Debt is way higher and crosses red flag situation. Committed expenditure mostly coming from Pension & Government employee salary. In all parameter Maharastra doing too good. @TVKVijayHQ #TVKVijay‌ #DMK #ADMK #BJP #Congress #Maharastra #NDA

@MacroMatrix1 Yes agree on your comparison part definitely one has to do that, what I am saying is this particular comparison when a common man sees this post without any knowledge would think TN is in a very bad position when compared to other states. That's not the actual scenario right

@UpdatesChennai I guess its kosmo One and not Komal one

🚨France based logistics major 🇫🇷CMA CGM has leased 54,000 Sq.ft at Komal One, Ambattur for their first Indian Global Capability Centre (GCC). The city is already a hotbed for Logistics GCCs, home to 🇩🇰Maersk, 🇺🇸UPS, 🇺🇸Expeditors, 🇩🇪DHL, 🇨🇭MSC etc!!

@NammaChennai_ @TVKVijayHQ @CMOTamilnadu 😭😭😭😭

Welcome to Chennai's 2nd International Airport (BLR) 🔥✈️ Thank You @TVKVijayHQ @CMOTamilnadu Stopping Parandur Greenfield Airport after 5 years of studies, approvals, and land acquisition is a major setback. Chennai risks falling a decade behind neighbouring cities in aviation, investment, and long-term infrastructure growth.

@Karthik04352193 @Srinivas_091294 Also it's not aligning well with the current airport.

@Srinivas_091294 Encroachment need to be taken care, and close to Tambaram air force is not a valid reason I feel. Because already existing MAA is airport is more closer than this.

For people talking about displacement: ✈️ #Parandur:Displaces 1,005 families across 16 villages🏡 ​🏭 #Pannur:Dropped due to higher displacement of 1,546 family 📉,plus 7 active industries to clear out🛑 ​🚫 #Thiruporur, #Padalam: Eliminated early #Parandur is the best option

@SureshK26738 @2026shreyas2026 @UpdatesChennai I do not comprehend why politicians do not adopt this perspective. Given that this is a large scale project, it is poised to benefit a significant portion of the population. Concurrently, provide alternative land and sustainable livelihoods for individuals whose land is acquired

@GowthamNitin @2026shreyas2026 @UpdatesChennai Parandur airport is required for Tamilnadu growth and already we are growing very slow. So CM Vijay will not take an emotional decision and will continue the project. Pay for better compensation and complete the project.

Any Updates on Chennai's New Airport (Parandur) 🥲 @UpdatesChennai

@imYadav31 Atlas no more Burgundy not many could afford 🥲 What else?

I still get so many questions around the best credit card for education spends. And honestly, I still don’t have many strong answers apart from Axis Atlas. Problem is, most people realise this only when the fee payment is due. Credit cards are like passport. Apply before you need them.

@TN_commoner I don't see any change happened on ground, also this is strategically placed in such a location where every school going children can hv a look into it. Ambattur constituency is full of banners

Vijay has already banned banners & posters - Akshitha

Anna nagar West extension, Chennai public school road, in the junction of Ambattur estate road This has been there for 2 days, no action taken. @chennaicorp
