Logic of postal-orders in denominations of rupees 10 and 20 when handling cost was about rupees forty in the year 2011-12

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, आर्थिक

It was only after revelation through RTI application that Department of Posts discontinued postal-orders in outdated denominations like rupees 1, 2, 5 and 7 because of extremely low sale-figure and high handling cost. According to an RTI response, handling cost of a postal-order was rupees 37.45 to Department of Posts alone in the year 2011-12. Handling cost for clearing-operation of banks is even extra. It is highly illogical that public-exchequer may bear such extra-ordinary loss in handling postal-orders in denominations like rupees 10 and 20. Rather it is time that higher denominations like of rupees 100, 200 and 500 may be added to avoid purchase of demand-drafts in submitting various types of fees. Government-fees below rupees 50 may either be increased or totally abolished. Or De...

आर्थिक

Presently all computers and computer-related items being sold in India are by and large foreign-branded imported from other countries. These foreign companies deliberately sell printers at much lower cost aiming to mint money by having abnormally high costs of ink-cartridges.

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, आर्थिक

Union government post-demonetisation of currency on 08.11.2016 to encourage use of cashless transactions had started giving several discounts for promoting use of credit and debit cards which also included 0.75-percent discount on purchase of petrol and diesel through credit or debit cards. Due to inadequate publicity, it is not clear which discounts are still prevailing which also included on on-line payment of insurance premiums.

आर्थिक

Reports of scams and frauds by wrongly availing Input-Tax-Credit ITC under Goods and Service Tax GST indicate that already 3600 cases involving GST evasion of rupees 15000 crores due to wrongly availing ITC have been detected. It has become a common practice to sell GST-invoices to those availing false ITC when consumers do not insist on taking invoices or leave these invoices by getting some petty discount.

To avoid this, a total overhaul of GST-system is of utmost necessity which has already undergone numerous amendments ever since it was introduced on 01.07.2018. ITC should be available only for trading purpose, and ...

आर्थिक

It refers to Nepal Rashtra Bank NRB on 04.01.2019 asking Reserve Bank of India RBI to declare Indian currency-notes of rupees 200, 500 and rupees 2000 as legal tender in Nepal. Presently Indian currency of upto rupees-100 denomination are allowed in normal circulation in Nepal where Indian currency is allowed to be used in normal circulation like Nepalese currency. RBI should allow only currency-notes of upto rupees 500 as legal tender. Indian currency-notes of rupees-2000 may not be allowed as legal tender in Nepal.
