FMPs vs FDs - FMPs vs FDs 30 Nov, 2010 Most one-year FDs offer a return of around 6.5-7% to ordinary depositors and 7.5% to senior citizens (people over 60). Meanwhile, one-year FMPs offer a return of around 8-8.5%. So, at a very basic level, FMP returns are higher. Once we take into account the tax treatment for the gains made on both FDs and FMPs, the net return earned on an FMP is much better. Says Shanbhag, "What gives FMPs the edge is the greater tax efficiency they offer. However, the return on an FMP is categorised as a capital gain.

This gain taxed at the rate of 10% would mean a tax payment of Rs 400 and a net gain of Rs 3,600 which would imply a return of 7.2%.

How far can you beam information instantaneously? Try 10 miles, according to a study in Nature Photonics that pushes the limits of quantum teleportation to its greatest distance yet. At that distance, the scientists say, one can begin to consider the possibility of someday using quantum teleportation to communicate between the ground and a satellite in orbit. As stories about quantum teleportation usually note, this isn’t the Starship Enterprise’s transporter: The weird quantum phenomenon makes it possible to send information, not matter, across a distance. It works by entangling two objects, like photons or ions.

The first teleportation experiments involved beams of light. Once the objects are entangled, they’re connected by an invisible wave, like a thread or umbilical cord. That means when something is done to one object, it immediately happens to the other object, too. More recent developments in the strange quantum world:
