Importance of the Chimney Smoke in completion of the election process The colour of the smoke from chimney plays a vital role in indicating the completion of election process of a Pope.

During this complete process the cardinals are made to stay in the hospital inside the Vatican called as St. Marthas House that has 130 rooms. All the arrangements are made to make sure that no one from the outside world is able to get in touch with any of the cardinals or viceversa, when they are transported from the St. Marthas and the Sistine Chapel. Rules laid down for Election of a New Pope The number of electors from the College of Cardinals is 120 may be whatever is the number of Cardinals in the college. A Cardnal, who had attended the age of 80 years before the Papacy day is not allowed to participate in the Conclave. Any contestant, who is able to win more than two-third of the votes is elected as the Pope The ballot is conducted twice in morning and afternoon continuously for four days, before declaring the result In case, the cardinals fail to elect a Pope with 12 or 13 days, they can impose a majority vote and select the new Pope with simple majority Park Geun-Hye nuclearised North Korea as well as economic prosperity of the country.

10 lakh crore Rupees as per the size of the economy. The study was commissioned by NIPFP in last week of December 2012 in order to quantify the black money that was generated in India. The study conducted by NIPFP was headed by the head of NIPFPs tax policy and research and also included former director general of income tax investigation. The report presented a sector-wise division of the scope of black money in India, for example, telecom sector, mining sector and real estate sector. A similar study like this was conducted last time by NIPFP in 1984 where it was estimated that black money generated in India was 19 percent to 21 percent of GDP, i.e., up to 36000 crore Rupees. The government, in order to combat this had also selected three thinking tanks in March 2011 in order to estimate the quantum of black money. These three thinking tanks were- National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM), National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCEAR) and National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP). Before this, NIPFP had also carried out the studies in 1976 and 1981 where it was estimated that black money in India was around 15-18 percent of GDP and 18-21 percent of GDP respectively. The previous estimated of black money generated in India, as per the study of NIPFP are as follows: 1975-76: 15-18 percent of GDP, i.e., 9958 to 11870 crore Rupees 1980-81: 18-21 percent of GDP, i.e., 20362 to 23678 crore Rupees 1983-84: 19-21 percent of GDP, i.e., 31584 to 36784 crore Rupees About National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) is the centre for research in public finance and public policy.
