His rich experience will be handy in his role as the ex-officio chair of Rajya Sabha
Strongly rooted in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, Chandrapuram Ponnusamy Radhakrishnan was on Tuesday elected as the 15th vice-president of India. He brings rich political and administrative experience, which will prove handy in his role as the ex-officio chairperson of the Rajya Sabha.
Seen as a soft-spoken and non-confrontational leader, the 67-year-old Radhakrishnan succeeds Jagdeep Dhankhar, who resigned as vice president on 21 July, taking everyone by surprise. Radhakrishnan is the third leader from Tamil Nadu to occupy the post.

Why do NRIs need to share address, tax IDs with tenants?
I am a non-resident Indian (NRI) living in the UK. I own a residential property in Mumbai, which I have been renting out for the last 5 years. The rent is paid by the tenant into my foreign bank account. My tenant is now asking for my UK address and tax ID number saying that this is a new requirement from 1 April 2026. Is this correct?
