Complicated circular of Department of Revenue about TDS on GST

TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to circular-number 65-39-2018-DOR dated 14.09.2018 by Department of Revenue, Government of India which has created unnecessary complications for account-departments of central ministries and others concerned wherein it is directed that on any payment made towards bills with GST, there will be two rates of Tax-Deducted-At-Source TDS, one on basic payment without TDS generally at rate of 10-percent, and second at rate of 2-percent on amount of GST.

Amend rules for packaged commodities

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Department of Consumer Affairs should amend the rules whereby it may be compulsory to pack all commodities in true metric-spirit in units of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 gms or mltrs or ltrs or kgs or units only so that consumer may judge comparative prices of a commodity marketed by different companies. Any liberty to pack in units other than suggested ones gives manufacturers cheat consumers through gimmick packaging. Drug-manufacturers cheat consumers through gimmick packaging by packing commonly advertised medicines like cough-lozenges in eight per strip rather than normal ten because consumers judge prices per strip without realising number of lozenges per strip. It is necessary that suggested metric-system of packaging may be applicable on medicines also unless exemption is ...
Ruling BJP gets 95-percent of electoral bonds pie: Bonds should carry names of donors

Ruling BJP gets 95-percent of electoral bonds pie: Bonds should carry names of donors

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Ruling BJP at the centre cornered major 95-percent share of total contributions made to various political parties through electoral bonds in the fiscal-year 2017-18. It is quite evident any ruling party will be getting major share of such opaque contribution because of contributors getting favours from the ruling party by themselves remaining anonymous. Contributions made to political parties should be perfectly transparent and cashless. Electoral bonds must carry names of contributors to prevent these as indirect and legalised bribing to ruling party. With central government motivating even small payments through digital banking like Bhim-app PayTM etc, ideal is to ultimately totally ban cash-contribution to any political party, with initially restricting it to rupees one hundred rather t...

Silver-alloy commemorative coins for first time after independence issued on 02.10.1969 to commemorate Gandhi Birth Centenary was available at face-value of rupees ten at a time when value of silver-content in the coin was much ...

It refers to biggest private domestic airliner Indigo charging extra fees for web check-in. Evidently this is anti-consumer step when families or people travelling in a group will be provided separated seats if they do not pay extra for getting seats together. System of charging extra for preferred seats should be altogether abolished in economy class. However there may be provision of Business-Class and Premium-Economy-Class like exists in Vistara in case Indigo or other private airliners wish to increase their income. Most private airliners are involved in many other malpractices also, like selling packaged food at multiple times higher than available in market. Even these airliners get Maximum-Retail-Price MRP printed high for being sold in airliners like rupees 100 against rupees 20...

It refers to media-reports that first engine-less train in India to be introduced as a prime train on a prime route will have option to have tickets without food-cost also. But such a system already introduced in Rajdhani Express should be in all trains including Shatabdi and Duranto where food-cost is compulsorily charged with ticket-cost.

Indian external affairs ministry rightly acts cautiously on kartarpur sahib corridor ceremony at pakistan

TOP STORIES, समाचार
Union Ministry of External Affairs rightly exercised full caution towards invitation to union minister for external affairs for ceremony towards corridor for Kartarpur sahib by sending two ministers from Sikh community to represent India instead of herself going. Such a wise step clearly indicated that India took the whole episode in religious manner. It was clear that Pakistan intended to take undue advantage of the event when Pakistan prime minister involved Kashmir in his speech on an occasion which was purely religious. Presence of Khalistan supporter Gopal Singh Chawla and Pakistan army chief on the occasion fueled apprehension of opening of the much-needed corridor as a possible attempt by Pakistan to renew Khalistan-movement in India. If Punjab Minister Navjotsingh Siddhu who wen...
