#Economy:The Govt has decided to strike off the names of 1.20 lakh more companies from the official records for various non-compliances as part of its continuing crackdown on “shell companies” to tackle the black money menace. Nearly 2.26 lakh companies have already been deregistered and around 3.09 lakh directors associated with these entities have been disqualified. The latest decision to strike off more 1.20 lakh companies from official records came after a review meeting of the actions taken with respect to deregistered firms last week.
#Those hiding unaccounted income in banks in Singapore will come under the scanner of Indian authorities, with New Delhi soon getting information of all accounts opened in the country since 2008. The Singapore revenue authority has asked all banks to share details of Indian account holders to pass it on to New Delhi under a DTAA. As part of the information-exchange drive to curb back money stashed overseas, many Indians with bank accounts in Singapore have received letters about this.
#The 2017 annual status of education report on assessment of youth in the age group 14 to 18 years, facilitated by Pratham education foundation has found that about 60% of the rural youth have never used a computer or accessed internet; 57% cannot solve a division problem; 40% struggle to tell time in hours and minutes, while around 14% of them cannot measure length using a reference scale properly.

E way Bill* : The URL for the e-way bill system for the whole nation is
http://ewaybill.nic.in
The same URL will be used for both the trial run(16-01-2018 to 31-01-2018) and final roll out(01-02-2018 onwards).
However, the tax payers need to be told that the e-way bills
generated upto 31.01.2018 (during trial run) would not be used by the department for any purpose.
Hence, the tax payers can register, practice and use the system without any problem.
As same system (URL) continues from 1st Feb 2018, the tax payers need not have to register again. The same registration will be used further. Hence, all officers are requested to advise the dealers /transporters to register /enrol themselves during the trial period itself. This avoids last-minute confusion to the tax payers.
You can open and check the URL and see the details. This URL is used by 6 states now for e-way bill generations.
*Offline method of e-way bill generation*
This is method to generate the multiple e-way bills in one-go by the tax
payers of transporters. This can be used by the two categories of tax payers.

interface because of various reasons. *Second*, the tax payers/transporters who want
to generate the e-way bills in one shot by entering the e-way bill details in one excel
type of file as and when order comes. And after finalization of the entries, including
may be vehicle number, generate the EWB number. This avoids entering one-by-
one in the EWB system and generate the EWB Number.
In this process, the tax payer logs in to the E-Way Bill system and uploads the file
containing themultiple requests for EWB as per the format. The system generates
the EWB number for all these requests one-by-one and shows the result in table.
Otherwise it shows error details. The table details can be cut and pasted into user’s
system for further use and action.
