👉The indirect tax board removes a “controversial” circular that imposed GST on post-sale discounts by dealers. In June CBIC had issued a circular which said that dealers will have to pay 18% GST on the post-sale discount that they get from the suppliers of goods, if the supplier asks them to pass on the concessions to the end consumer.

👉Leading over all states and Union Territories of the country, Chandigarh ranked first in the country in the GST collections by registering 89.67% filing of GST returns in the first six months of the current financial year, from April 1 till September 30.

👉CBDT came out with a circular prescribing guidelines on when prosecution can be initiated by the tax officers for financial offences. The circular largely eliminates the possibility of the tax officers hauling up taxpayers for petty / minor offences and aims to ensure that only the deserving cases get prosecuted.

👉The Indian consumers' confidence in the overall economic situation and the employment scenario dropped to a six-year low in September, according to RBI's latest monetary policy. Both the current situation index and the future expectations index recorded declines, the RBI said in its consumer sentiment survey report.

👉The country's top-12 major ports have recorded a marginal 1.48 percent upswing in cargo handling at 348.44 Million Tonne (MT) in the April-September period of the current financial year, according to ports' apex body .

👉India signs 3 pacts with Bangladesh, including one for importing  LPG, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying the motto behind such initiatives is to ensure ease of living in both the countries and strengthening bilateral ties.
