#Economy:The Govt's Aadhaar card scheme, which has enrolled more than 1 billion people, has helped the exchequer save about $9 billion by eliminating fraud in beneficiary lists.The system launched by the previous UPA Govt has been enthusiastically supported by the current Govt. It has really been a bipartisan thing, Nilekani said while participating in a World Bank panel discussion on Digital Economy for Development. He said that it is easier for the developing countries to leapfrog by building a right digital infrastructure.
#Finance:Union minister said that the Union Govt would soon open Post Office Passport Seva Kendras in all the districts across the country. Addressing a gathering after inaugurating a Passport Adalat-cum Mela in Jammu, he said the 'adalats' were being organised to resolve grievances and ensure transparency.
#The Nifty scaled a fresh peak on Friday ahead of the festival of lights, Diwali. The festive mood has now set in and it looks like markets likely to witness more fireworks in Samvat 2074. Stable global cues and rise in domestic liquidity are fuelling a rally in equity markets, although earnings growth still remain elusive. With domestic investors dipping their toes in the equity markets at an accelerated pace, the process of making new highs in the markets is likely to continue beyond the immediate highs.

ATTN-
Yesterday, I told you about late fee being applied in case of Sept month 3B. This is not for any delay on filing of Sept month as we have not reached 20th Oct. It is on account of late filing of return for previous period.
The system does entry into ledgers from 3B return on the date on which return is submitted (entries get frozen). The late fee till that date is applied, if date of submission is later than the last date of filing. In case the return is filed later than the date of filing then the late fee for the gap between date of filing and last date of filing return or date of submission (whichever is later) is added in the next month’s return.
In case a taxpayer had submitted last month’s return on 22nd Sept (D1) and filed the return on 26th Sept (D2), then late fee was calculated for 22nd -20th Sept and shown in the payment sheet of Sept Return (2*100*2). . The delay between date of submission (D1) and date of filing (D2) [26th -22nd Sept] amounting to 4*2*100 is to be paid by the taxpayer. The same is now being added in the return and shown to the taxpayer.
Hope this clarifies the position.
A ticker has been put on the portal explaining this. Please disseminate this to taxpayers
Thanks
