And while India struggles with whether to be ‘materialistic’ or more ‘spiritual’ this Diwali, the rest of the world has its eyes trained on America. Today, as Americans go to vote, tomorrow, we will know whether people supported Trump’s two years of racist and protectionist policies, not to mention hair-brained rhetoric’s and undiplomatic utterances.

Trump is betting huge – he thinks that by getting tough on Iran, he will be able to change its behavior from being a bad boy to an almost model, first-bencher. Trump is also certain that cutting off Iran economically will mean that it will not be able to restart its nuclear program. The other big bet ....

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is planning on a very interesting concept to ensure better tax compliance. From harsh to soft; from a tight slap to a jaadu ki jhappi – that’s how we are looking at the CBIC’s decision to use ‘behavioural patterns’ of tax payers to improve GST compliance.

The market going up because Patel and Jaitley will bury the hatchet and move on? Seems unlikely that this could lead to an over 450 points jump that we see currently (2.45pm). Actually, the real reason, as we perceive is the Ease of Doing Business Ranking. This ranking is to be announced to today

Power struggles between central banks and the ruling Govt are common all across the world. The question is all about how the central bank digs its heels in and does not all the Govt to shove it around. That’s exactly what is happening with the RBI and Modi Govt in India right now.

Why is it that when the markets are down consistently, bad and only bad news seems to come out from every nook and corner.

ARE RATING AGENCIES ‘JUNK’ TOO?

By Ruma Dubey about 19 days ago
No Image
Within 45 days, rating agencies downgraded IL&FS from an investment grade to junk! And it ignored loud and blaring warning signals like the highly leveraged balance sheet which was in front of it for over a year, its inability to raise capital, struggling finances. How come all these signs were completely missed by the rating agencies and what it looked only at was the delay in interest payment?

The data on the dashboard of Saubhagya, the electrification scheme for all introduced by the Govt, is probably the most comprehensive, dynamic and insightful data provided ever by any Govt organization. It is impressive simply because we are not accustomed to the Govt being so proactive

India is today home to 10 of the most polluted cities in the world, yet, unlike China we are not worried at all. We continue with our rampant, mindless growth, leaving the teeming population in a cloud of dust as new construction sites continue working at break neck speed and choke on the exhaust from the millions of cars.

For all the constant complaining and whining we do over public sector’s working culture, the employees lackadaisical attitude, it comes as quite a revelation to know that, irrespective of all this, PSU jobs are the most preferred for majority Indians.

What happened at the Hindalco AGM on September 21st has come to light only now, thanks to the scrutinizer’s report which was published on the BSE on 12th Oct.

Not a single food product is over 3% with vegetables index actually in the negative at -4.15% and fruits at 1%. Somehow, we do not experience this when we go to buy fruits and vegetables? Inflation is steady but why are we not experiencing this on the ground?
