Visa for reasearch purpose, work permit, self employement, lavoro autonomo or study visa

Research visa (self employment, lavoro autonomo) is nothing but a work visa given under 27 of Decreto Legislativo 25 luglio 1998, n. 286. You can consider it as a highly skilled immigration for Italy.

Two types of visas are available for research purpose which depends on the type of offer you are getting from the univerity.

1. Study Visa
If you are getting any research fellowship (Borse) to peruse research as post doc, or Assegni di ricerca from which income in not taxable, then you are issued study visa. You don’t have to pay any taxes.

This visa is very easy to get, you just need a letter from the Italian university which mention about your fellowship and accommodation and visa is issued.

2. Lavoro Autonomo visa (SELF-EMPLOYMENT WORK)
This type of visa is for university language tutor, university professors and researchers intending to fill an academic position or carry out paid research activities in Italian universities or educational or research institutes, translators and interpreters.

If you get a work contract from the university, then this visa is given, having this kind of visa you are allowed to get free SSN service of Italy.

The whole process of this kind of visa takes much longer time as compared to study visa.

SBI transaction on 30-Nov-0019 for INTERNET BANKING, what is this for?

Recently I logged into my onlinesbi net banking of my SBI (State Bank of India) account. I was surprised to see that they have credited some money into my account for nothing.

The details of the suspicious transaction is
Date (Value Date): 30-Nov-0019 (30-Nov-0019)
Narration:
Ref. No.: INTERNET BANKING
Debit:
Credit: 630.00 Rs

Do you know what this is for??
At first instance I was happy to see that they credit my account because I use Internet banking, but I couldn't digest that why they would pay me. Then I tried to extract account statement, this transaction was not shown in the exported account statement.
I also checked with my other two friends, they also had the same transactions and some credit.

The year in the date 0019, is an ancient year (1990 years ago). Is this transaction for some online surety purpose?? I hope so.

Thankfully this transaction does not show any debit amount, otherwise it would have created panic amount SBI online users.

If you have not checked your SBI account, please check.

I really don't know, if any of you know about this, please discuss here.

Why SBI credited my account with some money on 30-11-0019? I am curious to know about it

Newly built Bandra worli sea link (Rajiv Bridge Mumbai) areal view

The newly constructed Bandra worli sea link (Rajiv setu) was recently inaugurated and opened to the common public on 1st July 2009. It was very well discussed in media about its capability and 8 lanes where two would be dedicated to BEST buses. The day I saw the first video on YouTube, I was wondering that bridge is not fully constructed, only 4 lanes are ready and rest are under construction. Well, opening 4 lanes could give little bit relief to the commuters. But I do not understand why media has hidden this fact that only four lanes are constructed and other four lanes would take years to construct.

The bridge is open to public for the first few days, and then you have to pay Rs. 50.00 ($1.00) for one way and Rs. 75.00 ($1.60) for both ways.

The Google maps is not updated with the geographical view of this bridge.

However you can watch the areal view video on you tube which was uploaded by TV9 Mumbai which was taken from helicopter, so you can feel how this bridge could look if you see from sky or from aeroplane.
