"जीवन की हर समस्या ट्रैफिक की "लाल बत्ती" की तरह होती है,

➡ *IMPORTANT ORDER BY SC BENCH OF JUSTICE J. CHELAMESWAR & JUSTICE SANJAY KISHAN KAUL on 10-01-2018*
SC dismisses Revenue SLP, refuses to interfere with order of Delhi HC that held Section 9(2)(g) of Delhi VAT Act to the extent it disallows ITC to purchaser due to default of selling dealer in depositing tax, as violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India; According to HC, Section 9(2)(g) gave a free hand to Dept. in deciding to proceed either against the purchasing dealer or selling dealer, however, in the situation envisaged by said section, clearly the defaulting party was the selling dealer for which the purchasing dealer was expected to bear the consequence; HC had observed that failure by Legislature to distinguish between bona fide and non-bona fide purchasing dealers resulted in Section 9(2)(g) applying equally to both the classes of purchasing dealers, which was certainly hit by Article 14 of Constitution; However, SC grants liberty to Revenue to move the HC with particulars of cases where the purchase transactions are not bona fide, so as to have the matters therein remitted back to the competent authority : SC

#Economy:Union Cabinet has relaxed rules for attracting foreign investments across sectors such as aviation, retail, and construction. This is the fourth time in the past three years that the Govt is tweaking the FDI rulebook. In a significant step, the Cabinet permitted FDI in state-owned carrier Air India, which is up for disinvestment. Foreign airlines or any other foreign investor can now put in up to 49% in Air India, thereby making it easier for the Govt to divest its holding. The Cabinet has also made it simpler for international single-brand retail companies keen to set up business in India.
#Finance:Buoyed by the 18.2% rise in direct tax collections in the first nine months of fiscal year 2017-18, the CBDT is confident about achieving its collection target for the current financial year.The apex body has even set itself a target of crossing the Rs 10-trillion milestone. The collection, under all categories such as personal tax, advance tax, and TDS, are showing good results.
#UIDAI has introduced a concept of ‘Virtual ID’, which is a temporary number that can be generated by users for the purpose of verification and authentication.The 'Virtual ID', which will be mapped with the Aadhaar number, can be shared with authorities to authenticate identity for availing various services and it will provide users an option of not sharing their Aadhaar number.
