**Why Delhi’s Air Quality May Become ‘Poor’ from Wednesday**
*By Snehil Singh | October 13, 2025 | 8:30 PM*
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a decline in Delhi’s air quality as the winter season approaches. The city’s air is expected to remain in the “moderate” category on October 13 and 14 but will likely slip into the “poor” category for nearly a week starting October 15.
According to the IMD bulletin, “The air quality is very likely to be in the Moderate category from October 13-14. From October 15 onwards, it is expected to be in the Poor category for nearly a week.”
### Pollution Update: Slight Increase in Stubble Burning
Delhi’s air quality showed a slight improvement on Sunday, with an average Air Quality Index (AQI) of 167, down from 199 on Saturday. This improvement was attributed to steady winds blowing at 10-15 km/h.
However, stubble burning in neighboring states has increased slightly, contributing to pollution levels in the city. The share of pollution from stubble burning rose from 0.4% on Saturday to 0.8% on Sunday.
The Ministry of Earth Sciences’ Early Warning System also predicts moderate air quality for October 13-14 and poor conditions from October 15 onward.
### Factors Behind the Pollution Spike
Delhi’s air quality typically worsens in October due to several reasons:
– Retreating monsoon rains and cooler temperatures
– Increased stubble burning in Punjab, Haryana, and nearby states
– Festive fireworks adding to pollution levels
Additionally, slower winds and cooler weather during this season lead to a “temperature inversion,” where a layer of warm air traps pollutants near the ground, worsening air quality. Smoke carried by north-westerly winds from Punjab and Haryana further aggravates the situation.
On Sunday, vehicles were the largest contributors to PM2.5 pollution, accounting for 19.8%, followed by emissions from Sonipat (9.2%) and Jhajjar (5.1%).
### Seasonal Outlook: Clear Skies and Cool Winds
The IMD has forecast clear skies and cool northwesterly winds over the coming days, with maximum temperatures expected to rise to 34°C by Wednesday.
Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa highlighted that Delhi has recorded 199 days with AQI below 200 this year, nearly double the number reported in 2016. He said this marks a “real improvement on the ground.”
As winter advances, residents are advised to stay updated on air quality forecasts and take necessary precautions, especially from mid-October when pollution levels are expected to worsen.

**You can now withdraw your entire PF balance anytime**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 13, 2025, 07:55 pm*
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has taken a significant step to enhance the ease of living for its members. In a major decision, the EPFO’s Central Board of Trustees (CBT) has approved allowing members to withdraw up to 100% of their eligible Provident Fund (PF) balance. This withdrawal includes both the employee and employer contributions.
### Key Decision Announced at 238th CBT Meeting
The decision was made during the 238th meeting of the CBT held in New Delhi, chaired by Union Minister for Labour and Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya. This move is set to bring greater flexibility and convenience for EPFO members in managing their PF accounts.
### Major Changes in PF Withdrawal Rules
Previously, full withdrawal from the PF account was only permitted in cases of unemployment or retirement. Under the new liberalized rules, members can now access their entire eligible PF balance, subject to certain conditions and specific categories.
In addition to this, the CBT has simplified the existing partial withdrawal provisions. Earlier, there were 13 complex rules governing partial withdrawals, which have now been consolidated into a single, streamlined rule divided into three categories:
– Essential needs (such as illness, education, and marriage)
– Housing needs
– Special circumstances
### Increased Flexibility for Education and Marriage Withdrawals
The new rules also increase the limits on withdrawals for education and marriage expenses. Withdrawals for education purposes can now be made up to 10 times, while those for marriage can be done up to 5 times.
Moreover, the minimum service requirement to be eligible for all partial withdrawals has been uniformly reduced to just 12 months. This is a significant relaxation compared to the previous norms, where members had to justify their withdrawal reasons under “Special Circumstances,” often resulting in claim rejections.
### Member Benefits: Minimum Balance and Auto-Settlement of Claims
To ensure members continue to benefit from the high interest rates offered by EPFO (currently 8.25% per annum), the CBT has introduced a new rule requiring a ‘Minimum Balance’ of 25% of contributions to be maintained in the PF account at all times. This provision helps preserve the compounding benefits and aids in building a substantial retirement corpus.
The board has also announced a move towards greater automation, eliminating the need for any documentation for partial withdrawal claims. This paves the way for 100% auto settlement of claims, making the process faster and hassle-free for members.

This landmark decision by the EPFO is expected to bring greater financial flexibility to millions of PF members across India, enabling them to access their funds effortlessly when needed.

It is available in three exterior colors: Carpathian Gray, Varesine Blue, and Charente Gray. Interior choices include three themes: Ebony with Ebony headliner, Caraway with Light Oyster headliner, and a combination of Light Oyster/Ebony with Light Oyster headliner.
The Gemini edition, aimed at being the more affordable option in India for 2026, offers interior material choices between leatherette and fabric. Its cabin themes mirror those of the Tempest edition, featuring Ebony, Light Oyster, or a mix of both.
### Advanced Technology and Comfort
Both editions come equipped with a refined set of features, including a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, an 11.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 12-speaker Meridian sound system, three-zone climate control, powered steering column, and a 360-degree camera system.

A team of senior Indian officials will visit the United States (US) this week for trade talks, with negotiations on the proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) progressing positively, news agency PTI reported, citing a top government official.
The BTA was initiated in February after leaders of India and the US directed officials to negotiate the pact. The first tranche of the agreement is planned to be concluded by the fall of 2025 (October-November). So far, five rounds of negotiations have been completed.
“The Indian team will visit this week. Negotiations are going in a positive direction. Both sides are of the view that talks should be fast-tracked,” the official added.
Last month, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal led an official delegation to New York for trade discussions, during which India and the US agreed to continue negotiations for an early conclusion of a mutually beneficial agreement. Goyal met with US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer and Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor to discuss key trade issues.
These talks come amid tensions following the Trump administration’s imposition of steep tariffs on Indian goods, including a 25 percent additional duty on Russian crude oil. India has described these duties as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable,” while Indian industry has also raised concerns over H1B visa policies.
Recent phone conversations between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump, however, have raised hopes for a positive outcome.
After a brief pause, Assistant US Trade Representative for South and Central Asia Brendan Lynch met Indian officials in New Delhi on September 16 to push for an early and mutually beneficial conclusion of the agreement. The sixth round of talks, initially scheduled from August 25-29, was postponed following the imposition of the high import duties.
On energy cooperation, the official said India may require more gas from the US in the long run. Goyal has previously stated that India expects to expand trade in energy products, with US involvement critical to the country’s energy security goals.
The proposed BTA aims to more than double bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2030 from the current USD 191 billion, PTI reported.
The US has been India’s largest trading partner for the fourth consecutive year in 2024-25, with bilateral trade valued at USD 131.84 billion, including USD 86.5 billion in exports.
Ambassador-designate Gor, a senior White House official and close aide of President Trump, has stated on the social media platform X that he discussed the economic ties and increased investment between the two countries during his recent visit to India.
