Goverment increases WHT from 10 to 15%

Pakistan has announced to increase the tax rate on telecom services, a sector that is topping the taxed list, by 5 percent from July 1st, 2013.
According to Mr. Ishaq Dar, the Finance Minister, all telecom users will now have to pay 15 percent withholding tax, which was previously settled at 10 percent for last many years. Mr. Dar said that proposal has been incorporated into the finance bill after consultation with the concerned stakeholders.
Mr. Dar, in his briefing to National Assembly today, said that this increase in tax can be reimbursed to the customers as it is adjustable in the yearly financial assessment of the individuals.

List of Taxes on Cellular Services

After this increase in WHT, taxes on cellular services are as following:
  • WHT: 15 percent
  • FED: 19.5 percent
  • Total: 34.5 percent
In addition to these government taxes, every cellular operator in the country deducts 7 percent service charges as well.

41.5% of Load Goes in Taxes and Charges

A customer loading Rs. 100 card will be taxed as following:
  • Initial Load: Rs. 100
  • Remaining amount after WHT (15 percent): Rs. 85
  • Remaining amount after Cellular Charges (7 percent): Rs. 78
After loading a Rs. 100 card, a customer will be left with Rs. 78 of credit for airtime usage. Out of Rs. 78, another 19.5 percent of FED is also deducted
  • Remaining Amount After FED Collection (19.5 Percent): 58.5
Hence, a customer will have to pay Rs. 41.5 out of Rs. 100 in the name of taxes and service charges. This explains that how government is getting greedy about collecting taxes from telecom users.
Analysts believe that the move is not well thought of, as taxing the most taxed sector can fireback and may hit the annual collections made through taxing the telecom sector.

Nokia complained against HTC which can reslult in ban for the sales of its Flagships


Nokia has again filed complaint against HTC with ITC which might end up with the ban on the sales of its products, and these are the two popular handsets HTC had released exclusively for verison. The devices are namely  HTC DROID DNA and HTC One and they can be given  ITC exclusion orders in the country if HTC is found to be infringing these patents. 

Other models include the handsets rerleased by HTC in 2012 like the HTC One X and  HTC One X Plus The infringing patents include, technologe dealing with video processing, internal smartphone design and radio transceiver technology. We saw last year Nokia complaints for almost 50 patents, which is not a small number but rather depicts, HTC has not been fair and cheating with the patents and providing customers something that has parts stolen from Nokia, these complaint suits were made in US and german courts of law and are seeking desicion, If Nokia wins HTC can result with the loss of few market shares. We saw that HTC One had its microphone , infringing not only Nokia's microphone technology but also the physical microphone was taken from the same factory Nokia build it from, and to be fair with the company Nokia has been promoting its microphone technology since its used it in the pure view and other devices like N8. The filing submitted last month is pending decision and we will come up with the news as it decides .

As we reported about Qmobiles quadcore in works last month, it took long time for Qmobile to learn to launch a quadcore but they have atleast done it before they were going to finish, now we might be saying it is the ricing concern that Qmobile got delayed Quadcore since at the launch of MTK 6589 Quadcores were hot cakes, but now they are easily available for almost every company who wants it.

Specification is going to be confirmed by mobile shortly but it is likely going to be 1.3 ghz  MTK 6589M, Quadcore processor with 1GB RAM, 4GB internal storage, 8 MP rear camera with 1.3 MP front facing camera, Screen size is said to be a 4.5 inch QHD display, screen size has not been revealed but we expect it to be an IPS LCD, this device will have 2100 mAH  battery. Price still not confirmed because Qmobile is the only bad company who can not stick to their own words in pakistan, but initial words from them says PKR 19000. and it is to capture people going towards GFIVE G9, which has specification. as  follows.

stay tuned for final and exact words from Qmobile

Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie Release Date Allegedly In October



Last year we got rumors of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie which was expected to be revealed by google early 2013. Currently we got news of update to 4.3 instead of key lime pie 5.0.But the question of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie release date still arises. According to a new rumor, this particular update is going to be released in October 2013.

Sources claim Key Lime Pie to behighly optimized, and only require512MB of RAM which might help higher fragmentation due to which still higher used Android OS version is GB 2.3, but still their is no confirmation for the news and alot of questions are their to be answered by Google. Motorola X Phone and  Nexus 5 are going to be devices that will have this version pre-installed with them. and since their is no confirmation for the news we still can not believe this news as the first news was dates long back 2012.

The single SIM version in Germany from Cyberport.de for €239, while the dual-SIM version is listed at notebooksbilliger.de for €299. big difference between the two versions that does nt seem practical. But we have to see they are two different sellers in Germany.

iOS 7 announced

This will bring a lot of improvement in usability and the multitasking will have its new class, and we suppose all that issues apple customers getting from as being down sider to Android will be eliminated since apple has been working for it for quite alot of time. We will have to see when iOS 7 is finally checked out for all of these improved uses. 
But its brand new look for the operating system with flatter icons and UI elements. All icons are redesigned around a standardized grid providing a unify look. It also brings animated wallpapers effect has been added.

Multitasking is completely revised that allows apps to update much more often,with no extra battery waste. and is done by keeping track when you use a specific app and lets the app update during that period. The same is done when you power ON your device as battery is currently being used by the system, so at the same time update work is done. It will check for radio signals and with that radio signals being used already it will update different apps.

New updated interface for siri and it targets Google Now with card-based UI and new services to provide answers to your questions (Twitter, Wikipedia and Bing, take that Google).



And yes, their is notification center has been rebuilt from the ground up to provide info about today's goings on (birthdays, weather, upcoming events from the calendar, stocks and even some info for tomorrow). Notification center also show up on the lockscreen. Also, once you dismiss a notification, it goes away on the other devices too so you don't have to see the same notification multiple times.

The camera too is completely revised,features four modes – regular stills and video, square photos with color effects (hi, Instagram) and panorama.

The Photos app changed and sorts your photos based on where and when they were taken - puts some meaningful title to the collections. Zooming out shows new auto-generated albums for multi-day trips and zooming out even further groups the photos in years.


Updates to Safari and App Store, audio-only Facetime option just which is a VOIP actually , by AirDrop apple has answered to NFC and all those jokes put on apple users are answered, iTunes Radio which is an ad supported music player app just the same as mac, a cool weather app that shows the weather in multiple cities with beautiful animations, forecast for today and tomorrow and the weather for the next five days. Now check weather for more then one location.

Nokia Lumia 820


Nokia lumia 820 is not much different compare to 920 on the basis of speed and the OS it has as it has the same CPU, GPU, RAM but what differs is actually some thing that may even be regarded as a plus point and some of the users will find Nokia lumia 820 to be device for them compare to Nokia Lumia 920. main differences that it has is presence of VGA front camera vs 1.3 MP in Nokia Lumia 920. Pure motion HD and Pureview camera is absent what you have in Nokia Lumia 920. and an amoled screen WVGA screen compare to 728p HD IPS LCD screen is what you miss, but a smaller 4.3" screen does not make it any inferior to it, and even presence of 1600 mAH battery compare to 2000 with IPS of Nokia Lumia 920, actually lasts more than Nokia Lumia 920.
