Ross Island, which had been the administrative headquarters of the British in these islands before an earthquake damaged it, was renamed after Netaji in 2018 to honour his visit and his claim of the islands as free Indian soil.

During the Japanese occupation of the islands in the Second World War, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose visited Port Blair and hoisted the tricolour there, claiming the islands as the first Indian territory freed from British rule.

The jail was built at Port Blair over those ten years in the shape of a wheel, with seven wings radiating from a central watchtower and a total of 693 cells.

The indigenous communities of this territory fall into two racial groups. The Great Andamanese, Onge, Jarawa and Sentinelese of the Andaman group are of Negrito descent and are among the oldest surviving human populations outside Africa.

The Government of India announced in September 2024 that the capital of the union territory would be renamed Sri Vijaya Puram, replacing a name that came from the colonial period.

Indira Point lies at the southern tip of Great Nicobar, the largest island of the Nicobar group, and marks the southernmost land point of the Republic of India, a little above six and three quarter degrees north.

Saddle Peak rises to 732 metres in North Andaman and is the highest point in the whole union territory. It gives its name to Saddle Peak National Park, which protects the tropical evergreen forest on its slopes.

The Ten Degree Channel runs along the ten degree north parallel and divides the Andaman group from the Nicobar group, with Little Andaman on its northern side and Car Nicobar on its southern side.

Banks report frauds to the Reserve Bank, which keeps them in the Central Fraud Registry and makes the database searchable by banks.

The highest ceiling in the table applies to other current, cash credit and overdraft accounts and to credit cards whose limit exceeds five lakh rupees.

Sharing a PIN, password or one-time password is treated as customer negligence, and in that case the circular makes the customer bear the whole loss up to the time the fraud is reported.

The circular places the burden of proof squarely on the bank: if a bank says the customer is liable, it must establish that, rather than asking the customer to prove innocence.

The circular requires every bank to have a board-approved policy fixing its own resolution period, and caps that period at ninety days from the date the complaint is received.

A shadow reversal is a provisional credit of the disputed amount into the customer's account. The circular requires the bank to make it within ten working days of the customer's notification, and specifically says the bank may not wait for any insurance claim of its own to be settled first.

The Reserve Bank's liability table sets the lowest ceiling for Basic Savings Bank Deposit accounts, which are the no-frills accounts opened for financial inclusion, because their holders are the least able to absorb a loss.
