No GST on UPI, Says Government The Finance Ministry has shut down rumors of a potential 18% GST on UPI payments over ₹2,000, calling the reports “false and misleading.” It clarified that GST applies only where fees like MDR are involved—which were eliminated in 2020 for UPI Person-to-Merchant transactions. Instead, the government is doubling down on UPI promotion, spending ₹3,631 crore in FY24 alone. With UPI transactions soaring to ₹260.56 lakh crore, India now handles 49% of global real-time digital payments. Bottom line: UPI stays tax-free. 2. MTNL Defaults on ₹8,346 Crore MTNL has defaulted on massive loans from seven public sector banks, including SBI and PNB, pushing its total debt to ₹33,568 crore. The defaults occurred between August 2024 and February 2025. Despite the financial mess, MTNL stock has delivered 500% returns in five years—though it's down 15% year-to-date. Investors remain optimistic, but the company's debt pile raises serious questions about its future. 3. China Extends Olive Branch to India Amid $99 Billion Trade Gap China's trade deficit with India hit a record $99.2 billion, prompting Beijing to seek economic cooperation. Ambassador Xu Feihong said China is ready to open its market to premium Indian exports but expects equal treatment for Chinese firms in return. Meanwhile, India has activated an Import Monitoring Committee to track any potential dumping of Chinese goods amid U.S. tariffs. The stakes: whether this becomes a turning point in bilateral trade—or another round of economic tug-of-war. 4. Auto Part Makers Burn Cash in EV Gamble Once solid in the engine parts business, companies like Greaves Cotton, Tube Investments, and Pinnacle Industries jumped into EV manufacturing to stay relevant. The result? A collective ₹1,600 crore in losses. Greaves' scooter sales halved in FY24, Pinnacle's EKA Mobility bled cash despite a solid order book, and Tube's EV arm remains unprofitable. Analysts say legacy players like Bajaj and TVS now dominate, with better brands, service networks, and distribution. The EV dream for these suppliers? A harsh reality check. 5. Sebi Pushes for More MF Exposure to REITs, InvITs Sebi wants mutual funds to increase exposure to REITs and InvITs, proposing to double the investment cap to 20% of NAV and 10% per issuer. The move aims to boost real estate and infra sectors, but experts warn of risks around taxation, classification, and compliance. Since these instruments blend features of equity and debt, overshooting limits could mess with a fund's identity and investor expectations. A bold push—but AMCs will need better risk disclosures and investor education to make it work.

A hill to die on.  That sounds way too serious for a real estate appraisal podcast, right?  These are supposed to be about USPAP, and education, and more practical stuff.  But I've been studying on this topic for some time.  Frankly, what AMCs do (or don't do) does not bother me as much as it does some appraisers.  Those appraisers complain that AMCs do not distinguish between their gross fees and the proration of that fee that goes to the appraiser.  That's true.  But when you buy a car, the dealer does not make transparent the contributory cost of the spark plugs and drive shaft, either. And the fees the AMCs pay are not, in my opinion, a hill to die on, at least not right now.  That time is coming - soon.  So, unless the AMC withholds some pertinent information from the appraiser, or somehow misrepresents the situation, then the appraiser sets the fee by accepting it.  But there is a hill to die on when it comes to AMCs.  And that hill is USPAP, of which all AMCs, you'd think, would be aware.  But while the GSEs are pushing appraisal waivers, it also seems AMCs are stressing appraisers to accept lower fees for the same quantity of work, all to sustain the AMCs' fee structure.  Remember, the AMC can ask the appraiser anything it wants to ask.  If, however, that request includes a knowledgeable request to violate USPAP, then it is time the appraiser should fire that AMC and get a new client. Today, right now, get out of AMC work and into private work.  I'll be happy to consult with you on that.  And make sure your E&O insurance is as relevant as possible.  It will help to have expert legal counsel in your phone's directory, too!

Today on the Power House podcast, we are bringing you a special sponsored conversation between Zeb Lowe, the director of HousingWire's Content Studio, and Andrew Bough, the COO at Class Valuation. Andrew is joining us today to share how Class Valuation is setting new quality standards for appraisals through approaches such as their appraiser scorecard system and creating specialty panels for unique property types. He also talks about tackling industry challenges like an aging workforce and regulatory changes, and how they're shaping the market with their Appraisal Diversity Initiative. Here's what you'll learn: Class Valuation's scale allows for consistent quality in appraisals. Choosing the lowest-paid appraisers is a common misconception about AMCs. Performance scorecards help appraisers improve their services. Creating specialty panels enhances the quality of appraisals for specific, niche needs. The appraisal industry, like many other facets of the housing ecosystem, is undergoing significant change. Diversity initiatives and embracing new technology are essential for the future of appraisals.

Got a question?Did you know there's a hidden middleman in many real estate transactions, sometimes taking a bigger cut of your appraisal fee than the appraiser doing the work? In this episode, Wendy Gilch and seasoned appraiser Joshua Tucker reveal the lesser-known world of Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs). While most buyers don't realize they exist, these third-party companies were initially set up to keep lenders and appraisers at arm's length. But over time, some have evolved into a profit-driven layer, adding unknown costs for homebuyers. Joshua shares how AMCs often pocket a hefty, undisclosed portion of appraisal fees, leaving buyers in the dark about what they're actually paying for.Together, Wendy and Joshua dive into the ethical and financial challenges this creates for both consumers and appraisers, from murky fee structures to pressure on appraisers to meet minimum standards. The conversation highlights the need for transparency and better regulation, with tips to help consumers protect themselves—and a nod to Taylor Swift to lighten the mood!Learn more about ARCCState laws and regulations may vary.Have a story you would like to share with other sellers or buyers?Hit us up here.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Linkpost] How to start an advance market commitment (AMC), published by Stan Pinsent on June 11, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a linkpost for an How to start an advance market commitment by Nan Ransohoff, published on Works in Progress[1]. Summary Advance market commitments, or AMCs, are promises to buy or subsidize something in the future, if someone can invent and produce it. The purpose of an AMC is to provide a financial incentive for innovators to develop and scale products that address important societal needs but lack a natural commercial market. Past AMCs Pneumococcal Vaccines In the 2000s, hundreds of thousands were dying of pneumococcal diseases every year. However, because the deaths were occurring in low-income countries unable to pay for new treatments, there was little investment in developing new vaccines. In 2007, a group of governments and philanthropists pledged $1.5 billion through an AMC run by Gavi to accelerate pneumococcal vaccine development. The AMC subsidized vaccine doses beyond what poorer countries could afford, to incentivize pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline. By 2011, these companies had developed qualifying vaccines and signed contracts for large-scale production. The AMC accelerated vaccine development and distribution by around 5 years, saving an estimated 700,000 lives. COVID-19 Vaccines As part of Operation Warp Speed in 2020, the U.S. government issued $900 million in guaranteed purchase orders for COVID-19 vaccine doses from pharmaceutical companies. This provided an incentive for companies to invest in vaccine development despite uncertainty around which vaccines would succeed. The purchase guarantees ensured companies would still have a market even if other companies developed vaccines first. Frontier: a carbon-removal AMC Frontier is a $925 million advance market commitment launched in 2022 to accelerate the development of affordable technologies for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at scale. It aims to bridge the gap until a long-term market for carbon removal emerges, by providing funding commitments for future carbon removal. Frontier aims to catalyze the carbon removal industry by sending a strong demand signal to motivate entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers to prioritize carbon removal innovation, while also advocating for policies to create a durable, global market for permanent carbon removal after 2030. Before 2022, only $30million had ever been spent on carbon removal. Frontier's $925 represents a new era for carbon removal tech, but billions more in investment will probably be required before the unit cost of carbon removal becomes low enough for a mass market to emerge. Where else could AMCs be used? AMCs have been proven as a way to accelerate vaccine development, but they may also be a powerful way to advance other critical technologies: Low-/zero-carbon cement. Low-/zero-carbon steel. [Non-CO2] Greenhouse gas removal Climate-resilient crops. Health products where demand in high-income countries is uncertain, like strep A vaccines and hepatitis C vaccines Health products where the need in lower- and middle-income countries is disproportionately high, like vaccines for tuberculosis, syphilis, and malaria Learn More Full article Market Shaping Accelerator, UChicago Frontier Climate 1. ^ This was linkposted on the Forum 2 weeks ago but didn't get much buzz, so I am linkposting again with a proper summary.

"You can't charge what something is worth during a pandemic. So we estimated that the value of one course of COVID vaccine in January 2021 was over $5,000. They were selling for between $6 and $40. So nothing like their social value. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't think that they should have charged $5,000 or $6,000. That's not ethical. It's also not economically efficient, because they didn't cost $5,000 at the marginal cost. So you actually want low price, getting out to lots of people."But it shows you that the market is not going to reward people who do the investment in preparation for a pandemic — because when a pandemic hits, they're not going to get the reward in line with the social value. They may even have to charge less than they would in a non-pandemic time. So prepping for a pandemic is not an efficient market strategy if I'm a firm, but it's a very efficient strategy for society, and so we've got to bridge that gap." —Rachel GlennersterIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Rachel Glennerster — associate professor of economics at the University of Chicago and a pioneer in the field of development economics — about how her team's new Market Shaping Accelerator aims to leverage market forces to drive innovations that can solve pressing world problems.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.They cover:How market failures and misaligned incentives stifle critical innovations for social goods like pandemic preparedness, climate change interventions, and vaccine development.How “pull mechanisms” like advance market commitments (AMCs) can help overcome these challenges — including concrete examples like how one AMC led to speeding up the development of three vaccines which saved around 700,000 lives in low-income countries.The challenges in designing effective pull mechanisms, from design to implementation.Why it's important to tie innovation incentives to real-world impact and uptake, not just the invention of a new technology.The massive benefits of accelerating vaccine development, in some cases, even if it's only by a few days or weeks.The case for a $6 billion advance market commitment to spur work on a universal COVID-19 vaccine.The shortlist of ideas from the Market Shaping Accelerator's recent Innovation Challenge that use pull mechanisms to address market failures around improving indoor air quality, repurposing generic drugs for alternative uses, and developing eco-friendly air conditioners for a warming planet.“Best Buys” and “Bad Buys” for improving education systems in low- and middle-income countries, based on evidence from over 400 studies.Lessons from Rachel's career at the forefront of global development, and how insights from economics can drive transformative change.And much more.Chapters:The Market Shaping Accelerator (00:03:33)Pull mechanisms for innovation (00:13:10)Accelerating the pneumococcal and COVID vaccines (00:19:05)Advance market commitments (00:41:46)Is this uncertainty hard for funders to plan around?

According to the website Love is Respect, 1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual or emotional abuse from someone they are in a relationship with. These are alarming statistics. In this episode we define what an abusive relationship is. How can parents know if their teens is an abusive relationship and what are the warning signs. And most importantly how can parents talk to their teens and protect them against the abuse or being the abuser. I brought in another family therapist to discuss this important subject. Our guest today is Eden Garcia-Balis, M.S. LMFT who was appointed Chief Executive Officer for Airport Marina Counseling Service (AMCS) in 2014. She has been in the mental health field for over 19 years with experience in leadership and management of service programs, business operations and fundraising. In addition, she was the Executive Director of the Pasadena Mental Health Center. Eden has a passion for working with the underprivileged and underserved and believes all people regardless of their socioeconomic status deserve quality mental health services they can afford. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and brings a strong clinical background to her position at AMCS. I asked Eden why a third of all U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they are in relationship with. I mean that's really high. "It's very high. It's alarming and I'm often asked, why is that statistic so high? When you look at what our children are listening to, when you look at what our children, our youth, our teens are seeing on TV, they don't know what a healthy relationship looks like. Some of the questions we dive into are... 1.  Why do you think there has been rise in domestic violence among teens and why do you think it is more common than ever? 2. What are some of the warning signs parents or guardians should look for if they suspect their teen may be in violent or unhealthy relationship? 3. What are some of the ways parents can talk to their kids about dating violence and when is the right time to have this conversation? 4. What advice would you give teens who are in a relationship with a partner that is exhibiting violent, controlling or unhealthy behaviors? 5. What advice would you give parents who suspect, or know, their child is in an unhealthy relationship?

Amy and Lisa dive into a new topic this week: AMCs.

Unlike an electrical engineer or a plumber, clinical research roles are not explicitly defined or categorized as such, in government employment databases. There are no certification or degree requirements to work as a clinical research professional either. To explore the topic of clinical research as a profession, I invited Erike Stevens on the podcast. Erika advises life sciences, academic medical centers, hospitals, cancer centers, foundations and health systems process improvement initiatives for productivity, quality and efficiency in operations, cross-functional relationships, administration, manufacturing, and compliance.  She has over 20 years of research/ R&D experience, serving in roles such as Vice President Research, Senior Managing Director, Director Clinical Trials Office, Director of Clinical Research, Interim Executive Director, Clinical Trials Office and Director of Research Operations.  Erika holds her B.A. from the University of Vermont, her M.A. from Case Western Reserve University and her M.A. from Temple University.  She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology from Case Western University.

In this special episode, Leigh Brown delves into the world of real estate property data collectors, discussing their role, potential risks, and implications for consumers and professionals in the industry. The episode highlights the rise of appraisal management companies (AMCs) and automated valuation models (AVMs) and how they came into effect after the housing crisis. Learn the concerns about the new program introduced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which involves sending unlicensed and unregulated data collectors into homes to gather information for the banks. The lack of oversight and potential biases are problematic, as they could lead to inaccurate valuations and manipulation of property values. The episode emphasizes the importance of certified appraisers and the need for regulatory oversight in professional services.    To learn more about this complex and crucial topic, listen to this episode and then jump to last week's interview with Peter Gallo, Owner/Chief Appraiser at HOMESIGHT APPRAISAL, as he shared his personal encounter when he questioned a tech company representative regarding regulatory compliance.   Key takeaways to listen for Understanding the role of AMCs and AVMs The risks of allowing unlicensed data collectors into your home The potential impact on the real estate market The importance of advocating for the role of certified appraisers   Resources mentioned in this episode 411 - What Makes Appraisers an Irreplaceable Role in Real Estate with Peter Gallo   Connect with Leigh Please subscribe to this podcast on iTunes or the Podcasts App on your phone, and never miss a beat from Leigh by visiting https://leighbrown.com.
