Podcast appearances and mentions of nirmala sitharaman

VOV1 - Kho dự trữ vàng đang gia tăng của Ấn Độ, bao gồm cả dự trữ do Ngân hàng Dự trữ Ấn Độ (RBI) nắm giữ, không nhằm mục đích thay thế bất kỳ loại tiền tệ quốc tế nào. Đây là khẳng định của Bộ trưởng Tài chính Ấn Độ Nirmala Sitharaman trước Quốc hội nước này ngày 10/2.

On February 1st, India's finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her eighth Budget of the Modi era. This year's budget was tabled at a precarious economic juncture, for India and for the world. India has been challenged by slowing growth, persistent inflation, and global uncertainties motivated in part by the return of Donald Trump to the White House just a few weeks ago.So, how has the finance minister approached this delicate moment? What are the government's priorities for the coming fiscal year? And has it made the tough decisions that could revive underlying animal spirits?To discuss these and many other questions, Milan is joined on the podcast this week by Sukumar Ranganathan, editor-in-chief of the Hindustan Times.Long-time listeners will know that Sukumar has regularly appeared on the show to share his insights on India's political economy with us.

Between finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s tax sops for the middle class and Donald Trump’s tariff missiles on three countries he really dislikes, it’s been a largely eventful three days. And as usual, The Morning Brief is buzzing with questions: From tax cuts and fiscal discipline to capital expenditure, is the so-called “impossible trifecta” too good to be true? Why was a tax bill introduced separately from the budget? Is the government pivoting from corporate India to the middle class? Trump’s latest executive decision can put global trade in limbo and has thrust the world into very uncertain times. What lies ahead? Host Arijit Barman talks to Swaminathan Aiyar about it all.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, January 20, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. At this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, robotics really stole the show. Imagine robots mowing lawns, cleaning floors, and even mixing drinks—sounds like sci-fi, right? Well, it's becoming a reality. Standouts included 'Adam,' a robotic bartender from Richtech Robotics, and 'Mirumi,' a robot designed for social interactions. There was also 'Looi' by Tangible Future, a personal assistant powered by ChatGPT, and 'Mirokai,' a programmable humanoid that feels almost like talking to another person. These bots range in price from the more affordable 'Mirumi' at $70 to the hefty $60,000 for the home assistant R2D3. What's really exciting is how interactive these robots have become. Thanks to advancements in AI, they're not just functional machines anymore; they can actually interact with you in a way that feels natural. So, are these home robots ready for people to be used? Shouvik Das answers that question in today's Primer.  As Donald Trump prepares to take office as the 47th President of the United States, India's stock market braces for potential volatility. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) are notably apprehensive, having net sold ₹44,396 crore worth of shares up to January 16 and significantly increasing their bearish bets on Indian futures. This cautious stance reflects concerns over Trump's unpredictable policies, which could include high tariffs and strict immigration rules, writes Ram Sahgal. Despite these worries, India's position in the global market has shifted, now trailing behind Taiwan in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index due to recent market corrections. Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, is considering offering more attractive income tax breaks in the upcoming FY26 budget to boost household spending amid economic challenges. Sources told Gireesh Chandra Prasad that the discussions are focused on increasing the standard deduction beyond ₹75,000 and raising the basic tax exemption limit from ₹3 lakh. Also, on reconfiguring the tax brackets up to ₹15 lakh to provide broader relief. These proposed changes aim to stimulate consumption by adjusting the personal income tax structure, particularly targeting those earning between ₹3 and ₹15 lakh. With economic growth expected to slow to 6.4%, these fiscal measures, alongside maintaining elevated capital expenditure, are seen as crucial steps to invigorate the economy. The government is also looking to balance these tax cuts with fiscal responsibility, aiming to keep the deficit within 4.5% of GDP next year.Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) might just dodge the divestment bullet as the government mulls labelling it as a "strategic" public sector unit. That's a big nod to BHEL's role in key sectors like renewable energy and defence. Rituraj Baruah and Manas Pimpalkhare write that a parliamentary committee has also thrown its weight behind this idea. The committee recommended that BHEL be deemed strategic, which could mean no more talk of selling off government stakes in the company. BHEL's been making moves into electric mobility and renewable power, and it's been paying off with a revival in large thermal power and railway equipment orders. With the government holding a 63.17% stake, BHEL's market value recently stood strong at close to ₹74,500 crore. So, what's next? BHEL's packed order book, which includes everything from Vande Bharat trains to power projects, points to its crucial role in supporting India's strategic industrial ambitions.Coldplay is back in India, hitting stages in Mumbai and Ahmedabad as part of their Music of The Spheres world tour. Despite the high ticket prices, fans across generations are eager to experience their music live, spending big on tickets, travel, and accommodations. Interestingly, Coldplay's fan base isn't just limited to those who grew up listening to them. A lot of their younger fans weren't even born when the band started in 1997 but are just as enthusiastic, drawn by the band's ability to blend their classic hits with modern vibes that resonate across age groups. Soumya Gupta takes a deep dive into the cultural phenomenon that is Coldplay and how a millennial band is charming Gen Z audience. Anil Makhija from BookMyShow notes the band's broad appeal, “Their music captures the hearts of both older audiences and the younger generation, making their concerts a rich, multi-generational gathering.” This pattern isn't just unique to India. Globally, older bands like Coldplay continue to draw crowds with their timeless music, proving that good tunes know no age. With their music finding new fans through social media and their ability to adapt to contemporary sounds, Coldplay manages to keep their legacy alive and kicking, captivating listeners across the spectrum. Whether it's the nostalgia for the older fans or the discovery of new hits for the younger ones, Coldplay's tours are more than just concerts—they're a celebration of enduring music that crosses generational divides. 

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, November 19, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. In what could be construed as a nudge to RBI to cut lending rates, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman emphasized the need for more affordable bank lending rates to support India's growth. But she acknowledged that the government could do more to improve storage for perishable foods to mitigate the inflation volatility. Shayan Ghosh writes that RBI has maintained interest rates since February 2023, and due to inflationary concerns might not change that for now. Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal had also called for rate cuts last week.  India has new advertising guidelines for coaching classes. The new rules aim to prevent misleading claims by holding institutes accountable for false advertisements. Devina Sengupta writes that coaching centres must now provide refunds for unmet promises and disclose if their courses are accredited by relevant authorities. These regulations seek to protect students, who often enroll in coaching hubs like Kota under inflated expectations of success. For many years now, coaching classes have misled students and their parents with tall promises — these regulations are aimed at tempering them. The government had announced a wide-ranging internship programme during the Union Budget a few months ago. While the original plan was meant for 21-24-year olds, Gireesh Chandra Prasad reports that the scheme might be expanded to the age group of 18-25 years. The focus will continue to remain on candidates from families with annual incomes below Rs 8 lakh and without permanent government jobs. Currently, over 125,000 internships are available in companies like ONGC and Reliance Industries.  Who said science and faith cannot co-exist? In a move that merges technology with cultural preservation, an AI powered digital twin of St Peter's Basilica was unveiled  earlier this month. Leslie D'monte writes that such technology can help you explore the world from your living room. AI-related tech is also being used to restore broken artifacts by designing what the missing pieces look like.   An idle mind, they say, is the devil's workshop. An IT professional from Bengaluru, ratedas a top performer by his employer, discovered this to his detriment recently. Havingmoved from the hellish environmental extremes of Delhi to Bengaluru in the BeautifulSouth, he had it all going for him. But instead of making the most that the easygoing ITcapital of India had to offer, he found himself consumed by a hellish addiction topornography, which soon made its way from his home to the workplace. Psychologistsblame his addiction on boredom, a silent threat that is looming over employers who failto keep their employees occupied in meaningful tasks. As Devina Sengupta writes, if itis not identified and addressed, boredom's cascading effects can have a long-termimpact on the prospects of both the employer and the employee.

In this Telugu podcast, we sit down with Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder and CEO of ASBL, to unravel the complexities of India's Union Budget and its far-reaching implications. Our conversation kicks off with an intriguing question: Are our taxes genuinely being used for public welfare, or are they just filling government coffers and funding luxuries? Ajitesh sheds light on the staggering statistic that many citizens essentially work four months a year solely to pay taxes, which raises significant concerns among the middle class about the efficacy and fairness of our tax system. The issue of India's national debt also comes under scrutiny. With a jaw-dropping debt figure of 50 lakh crore rupees, Ajitesh explores the implications of such a massive financial burden. He questions whether we are inadvertently setting up future generations for financial instability and whether the government's borrowing practices are sustainable in the long run. This segment of the podcast provides a comprehensive overview of how debt is accumulated, managed, and its potential impact on India's economic future. One of the most thought-provoking segments of our discussion centers around the special welfare budgets for SC/ST/BC communities. Ajitesh offers a candid assessment of these initiatives, questioning whether they are genuinely beneficial or merely political strategies to secure votes. He discusses the effectiveness of these budgets, their implementation, and the real outcomes they have achieved. This conversation leads to a broader discussion on the role of welfare programs in addressing social inequalities and their potential for real societal change. Ajitesh also raises concerns about the lack of economic literacy in India's education system. Despite the critical importance of understanding economics in everyday life, this subject is often neglected in schools and universities. He argues that a more robust economic education is essential for preparing young Indians to navigate the complexities of the financial world. Ajitesh emphasizes the importance of integrating economic literacy into the curriculum, ensuring that future generations are well-equipped to make informed financial decisions. Another critical area of discussion is the manufacturing sector's expansion under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration. Ajitesh offers a balanced view, acknowledging the achievements while also questioning whether the focus on manufacturing is as beneficial as it appears. He delves into the nuances of government policies, the challenges faced by the sector, and whether these initiatives genuinely contribute to long-term economic growth or serve as a distraction from other pressing issues. As the conversation progresses, we explore the role of India's youth in driving economic growth. Ajitesh passionately discusses the potential of young Indians to break free from economic illiteracy and actively contribute to the nation's development. He emphasizes the importance of acquiring new-age skills and staying informed about economic trends. This segment serves as a motivational call to action for young viewers, encouraging them to take an active interest in economic matters and participate in shaping India's future. This podcast is packed with valuable insights and critical discussions that challenge commonly held beliefs and encourage viewers to think more deeply about India's economic policies and their implications. Whether you're a student, professional, entrepreneur, or simply a concerned citizen, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and perspectives that can help you better understand the current economic landscape.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, July 26, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Sensex was down by 0.14 percent, while Nifty dropped by 0.03 percent during trading hours yesterday.Nifty and Sensex aren't the only ones having a poor run. Their cousin in the US, Nasdaq, is having a bit of a meltdown too. Technology stocks, which were having a dream run over the past couple of years, have seen a massive sell-off this week. So far this week, Nasdaq is down nearly 3 and a half percent. Widespread fear of the artificial intelligence bubble bursting for these tech stocks has spooked investors, who have decided to sell en masse. Abhishek Mukherjee brings you the details of this sudden change, and what lies ahead for Nasdaq's tech stocks.Gold prices too are down around 7 percent since the Union Budget cut the import duty on gold. This move by Nirmala Sitharaman raised fear among investors because this directly affected the yields of sovereign gold bonds. But Ram Sahgal reports that despite this beating, investors in the gold bonds still stand to double their investments. As per the Reserve Bank of India, bonds bought in 2016 which are to be redeemed in August this year will give an annual compounded rate of 10.3 percent. In comparison, Nifty has compounded 13.8 percent over the same period. It's not all dull for gold bond investors, after all.Out with the dollar, in with the yen. Indian companies are increasingly open to taking on debt in Japan's national currency, as opposed to the standard US dollar. The yen has slid 18 percent against the rupee since the beginning of 2023. Nehal Chaliawala and Shayan Ghosh report that this makes it quite appealing for Indian corporates to take on debt — a sliding currency means that the borrower will have to pay less than anticipated. Companies like JSW Steel, Power Finance Corporation, and the Housing and Urban Development Corporation have taken yen-denominated debt worth about 11,000 crore rupees in the past 11 months. Even the Tamil Nadu government has borrowed a substantial amount in the Japanese currency, note Nehal and Shayan.Patanjali has a new segment it wants to conquer in the FMCG industry: toothpaste. After faring well in areas like ghee, biscuits, hair oil, and honey, the Baba Ramdev-led company wants to beat out the likes of Colgate, Nestle, and Unilever. We invited freelance journalist Devika Singh to take a deep dive into the company's latest pursuit. Patanjali has also done quite well in the ayurveda space, and now wants to replicate that success across the FMCG board. Devika writes about Patanjali's past, how it turned its focus into FMCGs, and what the road looks ahead after consecutive years of flat revenues.The Olympics start today! The celebrated sporting event starts in Paris today, and will continue for the next two and a half weeks. Every leap year, athletes look forward to qualifying and participating in this spectacle. However, every leap year, another discussion takes place: that India should host the Olympics. Siddharth Upasani writes that this isn't a very wise move. Hosting such an event costs about 8 billion dollars. While the organising committee is looking to make Olympics more sustainable and cost effective, at this stage, India isn't ready and doesn't need to host Olympics, Upasani writes.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, July 15, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: US Presidents have had a long history of being targets of assassinations — Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, and Ronal Reagen, to name a few. Yesterday, former president Donald Trump joined this illustrious list after being shot at by a 20-year old. Trump survived, but the shooter did not, after the Secret Service found him. The attack could intensify political divisions and influence the upcoming US presidential election. Elizabeth Roche brings you the implications of the shot heard around the world. The new government is set to present its next union budget next week. If you're a little confused, the Budget presented a few months ago was a small one — meant to keep the government machinery chugging till the election results were announced. The next budget, also presented by Nirmala Sitharaman, is much-anticipated: some reports state that income tax rate cuts might be coming. This is expected to boost the economy. But with only 0.4 percent of the country paying 86 percent of the taxes, will this really stimulate any growth? Vivek Kaul answers this crucial question in a narrative format the way only he can. How much processed food do you consume? It's difficult to ascertain — nearly every packeted item might contain some additive. From beloved namkeen snacks to instant noodles, everything has some preservatives. Shuja Asrar and Niti Kiran take a deep dive into a government survey that outlines India's eating habits. While urban India has started to get more health conscious — think the different varieties of Maggi — rural India loves snacking on biscuits. The rise of junk food in the Indian diet has also worried experts, but that doesn't stop Indians from thronging to fast food joints. TCS investors might want to close their ears: the company's CEO said that hard times are just starting. Tata Consultancy Services shares are up 7 percent since they announced their Q1 results last week, but global conflicts and confusion about interest rate cuts might prove to be dampers moving forward. Demand for the IT company's services has remained muted — if you leave out a contract from state-owned BSNL, and TCS's numbers look much worse. Varun Sood got the chance to sit down with K. Krithivasan and have an in-depth and honest interview about the state of TCS, the IT sector at large, and the impact of AI on jobs in the IT sector. Some people like to cook when they want a break. But what happens when cooking is your job? This weekend's cover story on Mint Lounge explored just that. Avantika Bhuyan spoke to chefs from India's top kitchens about what they did when they took a break. Answers range from playing music to painting to long distance cycling. These activities help them unwind, but also gather inspiration for the next time they step into a kitchen. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

She has played a pivotal role in shaping India's fiscal landscape, especially during challenging times like the Covid pandemic. In this episode of the Indian Business Podcast, she addresses critical issues such as the narrow tax base, the growing gap between the rich and the poor, and the complexities of GST distribution among states.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, renowned for steering India's economy to a remarkable 7 per cent-plus growth rate for three consecutive years amidst global challenges. Minister Sitharaman will be taking questions from Anant Goenka and P Vaidyanathan Iyer of the Indian Express. They will be talking on India's big growth push, and on other matters of national and global interest.

Innovative solutions by fintech companies are essential to the financial services sector, Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday. But in the same breath, the finance minister also said that they must ensure strict compliance with regulations. The FM's statement came during her meeting with fintech leaders, which was called against the backdrop of RBI's strict action against fintech giant Paytm. So, will the FM's reassurance soothe the nerves of fintechs and ensure a sustainable path ahead?  Clearly, fintech firms have to strike a delicate balance between growth and compliance. Moving on, a lot of people are currently trying to strike a balance between their earning and outgo. And for those living on rent, it's a tightrope walk. Recent government data revealed that today our rent commitments occupy more of our budgets than what was the case ten, or even twenty years ago.  Let us now turn our gaze towards the sky. The recent relaxation in space FDI norms by the government has provided a boost to related stocks in the defence and aerospace industry. As these shares remain upbeat, should you also join the rally or can valuations play spoilsport? And in this race to unravel the mysteries of space, companies and startups are increasingly taking help from Artificial Intelligence. In fact, AI is marking its presence in almost every sphere. But there are worries too. Like the effect of AI-generated fake videos on voters during elections. Against this backdrop, major tech companies have signed an AI accord in Munich committing to tackle deep fakes and AI generated content that could influence elections and misguide voters. Listen to this episode of the podcast for answers.

Layoffs at tech companies have continued into 2024, but first, a couple of other headlines that caught my attention. Hyundai Motors is planning to list its Indian unit to raise at least $3 billion in what would be the country's biggest IPO, Reuters reported yesterday, citing two people it didn't name. Hyundai, the second-biggest automaker in India with a 15 percent market share, is in early talks with several banks for the fund raising, which would value the Korean automaker's Indian operations at up to $30 billion, which is more than half its market capitalisation of $42 billion in Seoul, according to Reuters. As Paytm reels under the Reserve Bank of India's tough stance over the fintech company's non-compliance issues, some founders of startups in India have written to Governor Shaktikanta Das and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, urging them to “review” and “reconsider” the regulatory directive asking Paytm's payments bank unit to shut its main banking services after February 29, Economic Times reported earlier today. Policybazaar's Yashish Dahiya, Bharat Matrimony's Murugavel Janakiraman, Makemytrip's Rajesh Magow and Ritesh Malik of Innov 8 are among the signatories to the letter. They've said the punitive measures against Paytm would have a far-reaching impact on India's fintech ecosystem, according to ET. One thing today Tech companies have already shed about 32,500 jobs in 2024, according to layoffs.fyi, which tracks job cuts at 5,000 tech companies. Snap, which operates the photo and video sharing app, Snapchat, is the latest internet company to announce job cuts in 2024. The company said in an SEC filing on Feb. 5 it would reduce its headcount by 10 percent worldwide. Snap expects it will incur charges ranging from $55 million to $75 million, according to its filing, from this latest round of cuts. The company previously laid off 20 percent of its staff and restructured its business lines in August 2022, CNBC notes. Several other well-known tech companies have reduced their staff strength this year, including Paypal, Microsoft, Zuora, Zoom, and Okta. Indian food delivery unicorn Swiggy, ahead of its IPO plans, recently cut another 400 jobs, TechCrunch reported on Jan. 25. And India's top IT services companies entered the year with their collective workforce lower by tens of thousands of employees. Tata Consultancy Services, India's biggest IT company, for example, reduced its workforce by close to 11,500 people in the nine months through December 2023. Infosys, the second biggest, has reduced its workforce by more than 20,500 staff in the same period. Tech and IT companies around the world recruited aggressively as the world came out of the Covid pandemic. Since then, the combination of the global economic slowdown and the rise of AI and AI-based automation, has changed the world. Now, even as things are beginning to look up in the world's biggest tech market, the US, hiring will increasingly reflect investments in AI.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman almost stuck to her promise of keeping the interim Budget free of any “spectacular announcement”. But, at the same time, she tried to strike a fine balance between welfare and fiscal prudence. The budget speech was peppered with a number of people-friendly announcements, like the housing scheme for the middle class. And it also promised to bring down the fiscal deficit to 5.1% of GDP in FY25. So is this Budget more than interim? Find out in the first episode of today's special show on interim Budget.  This is what experts have to say about the interim Budget. Now let us see what Business Standard's own crack team thinks. They offer us sector-wise analysis of this Budget statement. Let us see if it ticks all the right buttons. The government's aggressive fiscal targets set bond markets on fire. Yields on 10-year government securities fell as much as 10 basis points after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced lower-than-expected fiscal deficit and borrowing numbers. So, will the government's fiscal gliding path provide the necessary balm to bond, and in turn equity markets? Salaried class, meanwhile, was a bit disappointed as the FM kept the rates unchanged. But they can now pin their hopes to the full Budget which will be tabled in July. And at about 58 minutes, it was perhaps the shortest budget speech by Nirmala Sitharaman. But it certainly carried a punch. Listen to this episode of the podcast for a few important numbers which got newsmakers attention and more.

Nirmala Sitharaman said the G20 has immense potential to work towards the “global good”, India's recently-launched 5G services will be enabled in iPhones in December, A MiG 29K fighter jet of the Indian Navy crashed off the Goa coast and other top news in this bulletin.

Taking note of a host of complaints, the Reserve Bank of India had come out with the first leg of the digital lending norms in August. It allowed loan disbursals only by entities regulated by the banking regulator. The government too recently launched a cracked down on several illegal lending apps which were exploiting gullible customers, charging high interest rates and issuing threats. Some of them are said to have Chinese connections. Earlier this month, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked RBI to prepare a ‘white list' of digital lending apps to stamp out illegal apps. And these concerns echoed in Global Fintech Fest on Tuesday when Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the fintech sector needed to work relentlessly on safety and reliability. At the same event and on the same day, Finance Minister Sitharaman said that work was on for implementing a common know your customer, or KYC, that could be used for a variety of transactions across institutions. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das also added his voice to the conversation, saying that Big Tech's increasing involvement in the financial system could lead to concentration risk. According to Das, potential risks regarding competition, market and business conduct, data privacy, cyber security and financial stability needed closer scrutiny. His remarks come at a time when Big Tech companies like Google, Amazon, and WhatsApp are already deeply involved in the country's payment ecosystem. The government's concerns were also explained when Das said that the growth in digital lending during the pandemic had raised concerns, which were evidenced by a spate of complaints about usurious interest rates, unethical recovery practices and data privacy. A day after these statements, the government's concerns were further elaborated upon by Securities and Exchange Board of India chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch. Once again at the Global Fintech Fest, Buch said that SEBI was looking to bridge the regulatory gap in the startup ecosystem. She also revealed what fintech firms should keep in mind a few things to avoid a crackdown. First, anonymity in the financial world would be an absolute no-no. Second, transparency would be key. Buch warned that if a business model, including things like the algorithm being used, was not open to being audited or validated, it would not be permitted. And third, the SEBI chief stressed that business models that did not allow ease of exit for customers would not be supported. Under the new RBI rules, which are coming into effect starting December, lenders must inform borrowers about all fees, charges, and the annual percentage rate in a standardised format. And there can be no automatic increase in credit limit without the borrower's explicit consent. The guidelines also require that the data collected by lending apps must be need-based and taken with the borrower's prior consent. Banks and lending service providers associated with them must also appoint a nodal grievance redressal officer to deal with complaints. Other reporting requirements are also part of the guidelines. The authorities have good reason to be concerned. According to the government, India has the highest fintech adoption rate in the world at 87 per cent, which is significantly higher than the global average rate of 64 per cent.  Fintech companies are also expected to have $1 trillion as assets under management by 2030. In 2021, India's real-time transactions crossed 48 billion, which was 6.5 times the combined volume of the US, Canada, UK, France and Germany. Up to that point, that had been the largest absolute number of real-time transactions in the world. Furthermore, the country's digital payments market is expected to more than triple to $10 trillion by 2026, from $3 trillion at present. As a result, by value, two out of three transactions in India will be digital by 2026. So, where do things stand at present and what steps shoul

It's the first day of the new financial year today. And, as it happens every year, a set of changes related to income tax are coming into effect. One of the highlights of the new regime is 30% tax on cryptocurrency gains. What are the other changes, and how are they going to affect you?  The new tax regime, however, is unlikely to affect the prices of smartphones. Meanwhile, the sales of iPhone in India saw a sharp 34% jump in the last quarter of 2021. It will reflect in Apple's revenue numbers too. And buoyed by the good response and government's PLI scheme, Apple is ramping up its production in the country. The government's production-linked incentive, or PLI scheme, seems to have helped Apple. But is it good for other sectors too? And what are the challenges it is facing?  Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently said that the PLI scheme has been a game-changer in drawing industries to India. Let us move on to markets now. The ongoing war in Ukraine, hawkish global central banks, elevated crude oil prices, higher inflation and bond yields will be among the key factors driving performance of markets in this financial year.  Stock markets have the ability to pull up surprises -- both pleasant and unpleasant ones. And even seasoned investors continue to stumble on Dalal Street. One such unpleasant surprise is called Bear Trap. Let us find out more about this concept and more in this episode of the podcast.

December 31, 2021 - the extended due date for individuals to file income tax returns for the assessment year 2021-22 – has just passed by. Despite several requests from individuals and chartered accountants' associations for another extension, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman ruled out any further extension.  During the last few days, many complained that they were not able to access the income tax return e-filing portal or faced glitches in the final hours of the December 31 deadline. Those who failed to file income tax returns on time will now have to file a belated return under section 139 (4) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 before March 31, 2022. While you can exercise this option, it comes with a cost. For one, you will have to shell out a penalty of Rs 5,000 for delayed return  filing. This amount is restricted to Rs 1,000 if your income is less than Rs 5 lakh. Also, you wil not be entitled to interest on tax refund due, if any. Moreover, you will not be able to carry forward or set off any losses incurred in financial year 2020-21.  Also, those who completed the exercise before December 31 should not forget to verify the income tax returns filed. You have a window of 120 days from the date of having filed the returns to do so, without which, your returns will not be considered valid. You can either do it through the traditional, physical route or the electronic modes.  Tune into Simply Save for insights from Preeti Khurana, Director, Regulation and Advocacy, Clear on consequences of not filing return before due date and the process for filing a belated return in such cases.
