Title: Financial Performance Evaluation of NSE AND BSE: A Comparative Assessment of Revenue Structure, Operating Efficiency, and Profitability (2020–2025)

Abstract: Stock exchanges play a crucial role in today’s financial systems by providing platforms for raising capital, enhancing market liquidity, and fostering economic growth. The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE) in India have witnessed a sea change in the last decade due to technological advancements, regulatory reforms and increasing retail participation. They are regulated in the same way but differ in their revenue models, operating efficiencies and profitability. The present study has made a comparative analysis of the financial performance of NSE & BSE for the period 2020-2025 with the help of secondary data collected from the annual reports & financial statements. Various approaches such as trend analysis and comparative ratio analysis are studied for key performance indicators such as revenue growth, operating margin, and return on equity. Initial results show NSE is operationally more efficient and profitable mainly due to its dominance in the equity derivatives and technology-based product market. By contrast, BSE has focused on innovations in SME listings and mutual fund platforms, but its scale is small. This research adds to the literature on financial market infrastructure by providing insight to regulators, investors and researchers.

Title: Live-in-Relationships and Socio - Legal Challenges in India

Abstract: Due to the absence of legal protection for property rights, live-in relationships continue to be socially stigmatised in India, especially in traditional groups. Property rights are usually valued by married couples, and live-in partnerships are not specifically recognised by Indian law. The difficulties that live-in couples encounter may be made worse by this lack of family support. Without legal recognition, issues pertaining to inheritance rights and child custody become complicated. Although it offers some protection against domestic abuse, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act of 2005 can be difficult to apply and enforce. Partners can not have the same financial rights or job benefits as married spouses. Despite these challenges, perceptions about cohabitation are gradually shifting, especially among younger people and in urban areas. Comprehensive legislative reforms are necessary to address the socio-legal problems that cohabiting couples face and to provide them with adequate protection and rights.

Title: Digital Payments and Fraud in India: A Systematic Review of UPI's Growth and Machine Learning-Based Detection Frameworks

Abstract: India's Unified Payment Interface (UPI) can be stated as the most revolutionary payment system of the twenty-first century. It processed over 21 billion transactions worth ?27.97 lakh crore in December 2025 alone. These figures dictate both its remarkable reach and the security challenges it presents. Since its launch in April 2016 by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), UPI has outpaced traditional digital payment systems, and now over 85% of digital transactions in India are done using UPI. Though the growth is remarkable, it allows new kinds of frauds and scams to arise. Studies show that digital fraud has surged by 346% during COVID-19. This paper examines the empirical and review studies from 2017 to 2026 related to the intersection of UPI’s exponential growth and evolving landscape of digital payment frauds in India. The study critically evaluates the most dominant types of fraud typologies, like phishing, QR code manipulation, KYC impersonation, and social engineering scams, along with the methods used for the prevention of such types of fraud, like machine learning and deep learning architectures. The review finds that machine learning and deep learning architectures achieved over 99% accuracy in the detection of fraud. There are still persistent challenges like class imbalance, data privacy, and adaptive fraudulent behavior. The paper argues that effective fraud mitigation and prevention require more than algorithmic advancement. A multi-layered response integrating system, regulatory dimensions, and user awareness is still required to tackle and prevent fraudulent activities.
