Business & Economy: RBI eases curbs on payment gateways The stand-off between electronic payment gateway PayPal and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) appears to be winding down, with the central bank allowing all such gateway service providers to substantially increase their export-related transaction value limits. Indian merchants that use PayPal will now be able to receive up to $10,000 per transaction, with the company increasing the receiving limit from the earlier $3,000. The RBI had earlier effectively grounded service providers like PayPal when it issued a circular that mandated that the value of transactions should not exceed $500. This was later increased to $3,000 nearly two years ago.

The first recognised Test Match, between sides from Australia and England, took place in 1877 though there is record of a match between the USA and Canada in 1844. Test Matches are now spread over 5 days with each side having two innings with three results possible, a win for either side or a draw. There can be between 1 and 7 matches in one ‘Test Series’ between the same countries. Matches were not always time limited and the last ‘timeless Test’ took place between South Africa and England in Durban in 1939.
