A STORY OF SUPPORT

ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಹದಿಹರೆಯದ ಹುಡುಗನು ಹೋಟೆಲ್ಗೆ ಹೋದರು ಮತ್ತು ಅಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೊಠಡಿಯನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸಿದರು ಸ್ವಾಗತಕಾರರು ಅತಿಥಿಗಳ ಶಾಂತ ರೀತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಹುಡುಗನ ಮಸುಕಾದ ನೋಟವನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿದರು. ನಂತರ, ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಹುಡುಗ ಹೋಟೆಲ್ ರೆಸ್ಟೋರೆಂಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಭೋಜನ ಮಾಡಿದರು.

ಇಬ್ಬರು ಅತಿಥಿಗಳು ತುಂಬಾ ಶಾಂತವಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಹುಡುಗನು ತನ್ನ ಆಹಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ತೋರುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಗಮನಿಸಿದರು.

ತಿಂದ ನಂತರ, ಹುಡುಗ ತನ್ನ ಕೋಣೆಗೆ ಹೋದನು ಮತ್ತು ಆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಾಪಕರನ್ನು ನೋಡುವ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಸ್ವಾಗತಕಾರನನ್ನು ಕೇಳಲು ಹೋದರು. ರಿಸೆಪ್ಷನಿಸ್ಟ್ ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇವೆ ಅಥವಾ ಕೋಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಏನಾದರೂ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಇದೆಯೇ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದರು ಮತ್ತು ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ಸರಿಪಡಿಸಲು ಮುಂದಾದರು, ಆದರೆ ಆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯು ಅವರ ಪ್ರಕಾರದ ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಇಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು ಮತ್ತು ಅವನ ವಿನಂತಿಯನ್ನು ಪುನರಾವರ್ತಿಸಿದನು.

ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಾಪಕ ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ, ಅವನು ಅವನನ್ನು ಪಕ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದೊಯ್ದು ತನ್ನ ಹದಿನಾಲ್ಕು ವರ್ಷದ ಮಗನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೋಟೆಲ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಕಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಎಂದು ವಿವರಿಸಿದನು, ಅವನು ತೀವ್ರ ಅನಾರೋಗ್ಯದಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು, ಬಹುಶಃ ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿ. ಹುಡುಗನು ಶೀಘ್ರದಲ್ಲೇ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗೆ ಒಳಗಾಗಿದ್ದನು, ಅದು ಅವನ ಕೂದಲನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರು ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ವಿರಾಮವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಲು ಹೋಟೆಲ್ಗೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದರು ಮತ್ತು ಹುಡುಗ ತಲೆ ಬೋಳಿಸಲು ಯೋಜಿಸಿದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಆ ರಾತ್ರಿ, ಅನಾರೋಗ್ಯವು ಅವನನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿ. ತಂದೆ ತನ್ನ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸಿ ತನ್ನ ತಲೆಯನ್ನು ಕ್ಷೌರ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದರು.

ತಲೆ ಬೋಳಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಇಬ್ಬರು ಉಪಾಹಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ಗೌರವದಿಂದಿರಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಕೇಳಿದರು.

ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿಗೆ ಈ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸುವುದಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಸೂಕ್ತವಾಗಿ ವರ್ತಿಸುವುದಾಗಿ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಾಪಕರು ತಂದೆಗೆ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡಿದರು.

ಮರುದಿನ ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ತಂದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮಗ ಉಪಾಹಾರಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ರೆಸ್ಟೋರೆಂಟ್ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದರು. ನಾಲ್ಕು ಪುರುಷ ರೆಸ್ಟೋರೆಂಟ್ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿಗಳು ಕ್ಷೌರದ ತಲೆಗಳಿಂದ ತಮ್ಮ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾಜರಾಗುವುದನ್ನು ಅವರು ನೋಡಿದರು.

ನೀವು ಯಾವ ವ್ಯವಹಾರದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರೂ, ನೀವು ಜನರಿಗೆ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು ಮತ್ತು ನೀವು ವ್ಯತ್ಯಾಸವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಬಹುದು.

How RBI tracked cash transaction during demonetisation?

Demonetization

The withdrawal of a currency from use as legal tender. The current form of money is take back from circulation, often to be replaced with new form of money.

On 8 November 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetization of all Five hundred and One thousand rupees banknotes that are in circulation. It also announced the issuance of new Five hundred and One thousand rupees banknotes in exchange for the demonetized banknotes.

The announcement of demonetization was followed by lengthy cash shortages in the weeks that followed, which created significant disruption throughout the nation. People try to exchange they're banknotes had to stand in lengthy queues.

Reserve Bank of India

The Federal Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is that the central bank of India, which was established on April l, 1935, under the Reserve Bank of India Act. Reserve Bank of India uses monetary policy to create financial stability in India, and its charge with regulating the country's currency and credit systems.

Banknotes in circulation

On 28 October 2016 the total banknotes in circulation in India were valued at ₹17.77 lakh crore; what proportion of this derived from ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes was unknown. In its annual report of March 2016, the Reserve Bank of India stated that total banknotes in circulation valued ₹16.42 lakh crore of which nearly 86% derived from ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes. In terms of volume, the report stated that 24% of the total 9026.6 crore banknotes in circulation were ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes.

Before demonetization, their were banknotes worth ₹17.97 lakh crore in the market. The demonetized banknotes constituted 86.4% of it. The banknotes in circulation had reached to the level before demonetization in March 2018. By March 2018, their were banknotes worth ₹18.03 lakh crore in the market; increase of 9.9%. New banknotes of ₹2,000 and ₹500 constitute 80.6% of it. So their was only 5.8% increase in small domination banknotes. The volume of banknotes in the market increased by 2.1%. The banknotes in circulation had further increased to ₹19.5 lakh crore in September 2018 and ₹21.41 lakh crore in March 2019, 19.14% higher than the level before demonetization

Steps to Demonetization by RBI

October 30, 2016: deadline for this purpose.
Government was ready to mop up an enormous amount of undeclared income.
Government gave part of the salary as cash to its employees
This might lead to a further increase in shortage of currency.
There are about four printing presses for currency in India and depending upon the value and number of pieces of Rs.500 and Rs.2000 to be printed
Might take an extended time taking under consideration the massive scale of withdrawal of the monetary base.

FILE CASH DEPOSIT DETAILS IN INCOME TAX RETURN 2 LAKH OR MORE DURING 09/11/2016 TO 30/12/2016

Income Tax department has issued New ITR Form AY 2016-17 .Few changes has been made in ITR forms but one among the main changes is taxpayers who deposited Rs 2 lakh or more post demonetization, will need to make this disclosure within the new tax Returns (ITRs) forms notified.

The information has got to be furnished on all the ITR forms 1 to 7 including the new one-page, simplified ITR-1 'Sahaj' for taxpayers who have income from salary, a house property or earn interest totaling up to Rs 50 lakh.

Column Part-E of the ITR-1 form seeks information on cash deposits made by the assessee between November 9, 2016 and December 30, 2016 if the "aggregate cash deposits" during this period were Rs 2 lakh or more.

As you may aware that two year back details of all bank accounts has been added in ITR forms from AY 2015-16. In this section, one column has been added for cash deposited during 09/11/2016 to 30/12/2016.The detail is required to be filed only if you have deposited equal or more than 2 lakh in aggregate in all such accounts. Further column for closing balance of account as required in earlier returns has been removed.

Earlier PM and FM and other authorities has clearly mention through various ads in TV News papers that no question and details will be asked from persons who has deposited cash in bank accounts up to 2.50 lakhs during demonetization.

Later tax department has asked details of money deposited to 18 Lakh persons operational clean money in new tab at tax India E-filing site under tab CASH TRANSACTION 2016 through online question answers ,out of 18 Lakh persons around 7 lakh persons have not responded to the notice at all.

The department has also made furnishing of the 12-digit Aadhaar number mandatory and if it is not available the 28-digit Aadhaar enrollment id should be made available. This rules is applicable from 01.07.2016.

The CBDT, the policy-making body of the tax department, has also reduced the entire number of ITRs forms to seven from the previous nine.

ITR 2A has been deleted, Further ITR 4 has also been deleted and merged with ITR-3.

CRR and Demonetization

RBI has asked banks to take care of an incremental cash reserve ratio of 100% to soak up the surplus liquidity. The cash is now a liability as banks need to pay interest on savings accounts, but they're not earning interest under the new 100% reserve requirement rule.

Putting the demonetization deposit as CRR means banks can't give any loans out of those temporary deposits. Building assets or giving loans out of this very short term money are going to be disastrous for banks as these deposits should tend back quickly. Some banks made wrong announcements about loan hikes out of the windfall deposit bonanza.

Conclusions:

Visible difference will come if the government uses demonetisation to persuade two intermediaries in the value chain — the trader and the village shopkeeper — to adopt electronic payments.
All the APMC markets are regulated by state governments & used by the larger traders. 'They should be made cash-free.
Cash is an inefficient medium of exchange. The World Bank estimates that the Indian govt., can save 1% of the GDP annually from digitising current cash-based subsidies alone.

How GST is Favoring Businesses in India | The Infoation

2020-01-06T20:31:00.000+05:30

How GST is Favoring Businesses in India

Introducing GST has revolutionized the recurring tax system as well as the regular business practices in India. GST has brought numerous advantages such as easy return filing procedures, transparency which would reduce tax-associated corruptions. Furthermore, the GST has simplified tax compliances for traders and thus the revenue base has expanded drastically. Before implementing GST, the number of assessee was close to 65 lakh, but within two years of GST execution, the assessee base grew by 84 percent and reached 1.2 crore.

GST enables the taxpayers to organize their business and accounting processes and help them yield utmost tax benefits. Let's read about how GST is benefiting businesses.

Improves Competitiveness

GST is one nation, one tax system. This system strives to elevate India's competitiveness in global markets. Implementing GST has reduced the levels of taxes and has been a measure to cut down inflation. Thus, gradually, reduces the cost of carrying out business. Besides, GST does not demand tax for the advances obtained for the goods that are yet to be supplied.

Cheaper and Simpler Compliance

GST has minimized the compliance cost and has simplified the procedures making it easy for the small and medium-sized enterprises to carry out their businesses. The GST exemption limits have also been raised from 20 lakh to an annual turnover of 40 lakh. Also, the businesses that have turnover up to 1.5 crore would gain a composition scheme to pay only one percent of flat rate and file only one annual return. While, small service providers obtaining an annual turnover of 50 lakh could pay GST at six percent instead of 18 percent. Additionally, after implementing GST several check-posts have been scraped out to ensure quick goods movements.

Scope to Expand Businesses

GST has encouraged the small and medium-sized enterprises to embrace digitalization. This move has in turn aided the country to quickly adapt to digitalization. By clinching digitalization, the business procedures get transparent, eventually, various mistakes and other fraud activities could be eliminated. The organization could easily obtain goodwill in the market that will ease the process of expanding the business further. Alongside, GST has enabled the organizations to spread across the country to do business, as it has curbed multiple taxes and inconvenient transaction processes.

GST offers various benefits for the businesses, especially the small and medium enterprises. This system enables online tax payments making it flexible and transparent for the taxpayers. Just by mastering a few norms set by the GST council, the organizations could streamline their accounting process and obtain several other benefits to elevate their business.

Simple Tips For Living an extended, Healthier Life

2020-01-05T19:36:00.000+05:30

The Best Tips We Learned This Year For Living an extended, Healthier Life

If you’re ready to make some changes in 2020, we’ve rounded up the best longevity tips we’ve learned in the past year. Whether it’s adding more Chili peppers to your diet, taking enough steps every day, or spending quality time with the people you love, these are the easiest ways to give yourself a fighting chance at an extended healthy life.

1. Eat “all” the Chili peppers

You might want to bring some spice to your life. A study found eating Chili peppers was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, for the people who ate Chili peppers regularly, the all-cause mortality risk was 23 percent lower than those who didn’t. Upping your intake can be as easy as sprinkling red pepper flakes or Chili powder into your food.

2. Do your best to stay positive

Past research has shown being an optimist contributes to “11 to 15 percent longer life span, on average, and to greater odds of achieving ‘exceptional longevity.” (Aka, in this case, living to 85 years old or longer.) While it’s hard to stay positive all the time, making it your mission to cut down on pessimistic thinking can do you good.

3. Take at least 4,400 steps a day

Taking 10,000 steps a day is kind of the gold standard in terms of health, but that’s not always going to happen. So rest assured: Research shows those who took at least 4,400 a day had a 41 percent lower mortality rate than those who took only 2,700 steps. But don’t stop there: The benefits only grew up until 7,500 steps, where they plateaued. Also, once you do walk, walk quickly because another study found fast walkers tend to measure longer.

4. Eat like Japanese centenarians

The residents of Okinawa, Japan, have the longest life expectancy in the world. Part of that is due to what they’re eating, and seven prime foods stand out: bitter melons, tofu, sweet potatoes, turmeric, brown rice, shiitake mushrooms, and seaweed. Make them part of your repertoire for a long, healthy life, too.

5. Try forest bathing

One thing wellness journalist and chef Candice Kumai swears by for longevity is the traditional Japanese custom shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. “Shinrin-yoku is that the practice of forest bathing and how to attach to nature and that i attempt to do that—even if that’s watching an ocean or a forest,” Kumai says. Spend 10 minutes a day taking a walk, even just around your neighbourhood. You don’t need an actual forest to reap the benefits.

6. Don’t sleep too much or too little

There’s definitely a sweet spot when it comes to sleep. Past studies have shown you shouldn’t get too much or too little. With that being said, the final conclusion is this: Don’t sleep less than six hours per day, and don’t sleep more than 10 hours per day, as it can result in a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. If you stay in the middle at 7 or 8 hours, you’ll be better able to keep yourself healthy now and in the future.

If you can’t fall back asleep, use these helpful tips:

7. Eat way less sugar

Eating too much sugar can certainly keep your from living a long, healthy life. That’s why experts say the key is cutting back, and you can help banish cravings by eating a specific combo. “If you’re physically craving something sweet, my go-to snack is five organic prunes and 10 organic raw almonds, eaten together,” says functional medicine doctor Jill Baron, MD. “Prunes have sweetness and many health benefits, including being high in potassium and fiber, as well as having a low glycaemic load. And prunes eaten with almonds with give a great antioxidant boost and satisfy a craving for sweets.”

8. Focus on your relationships

Many things play into longevity, including your telomeres—the protective DNA caps that are on the ends of your chromosomes. While longer telomeres mean longer “healthspans,” shorter telomeres are linked to things like dementia and heart disease. And past research has shown there’s a correlation between telomere length and quality relationships. “In older people, having greater levels of social support is related to longer telomeres,” says psychologist Elissa Epel, PhD. That’s why Epel says it’s so important to spend quality time with the people you love.

9. Clean the house more often

No, this isn’t a trick. One study found you only need 30 minutes of physical activity a few times a week to stay healthy, and that included doing housework. “Overall, the more activity an individual did, the lower their risk of mortality and disorder,” says Scott Lear, the study’s lead author. So get to cleaning and organizing. Your home will be spotless, and you’ll stay healthier and live longer because of it.

10. Eat like Italian centenarians

Japanese centenarians aren’t the only ones to look to for advice about longevity. Residents of Sardinia are also known for their impressively long lifespans, and they credit a handful of Italian foods as playing a part: barley, fava beans, cannonau wine, olive oil, kohlrabi, potatoes, sourdough bread, and tomatoes.

These are the healthiest foods to eat in the winter, according to a dietitian. Then find out some of the healthiest foods and drinks that came out this year.

Five Fitness Tips For Seniors To Stay Healthy | Tips for Healthy Life Style

Five Fitness Tips For Seniors To Stay Healthy

Ellen Book-O'Neill brings her expertise brings her expertise in senior fitness to her role as fitness coordinator at Ann's Choice, the senior living community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, developed and managed by Erickson Living. At Ann's Choice, residents are staying fit and having fun by working out in the state-of-the-art fitness centres on campus, participating in group exercises classes, swimming laps in the indoor pool, and walking the community's scenic walking trails.

Here are Book-O'Neill's five tips to help you stay well.

• Stay hydrated

Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can cause, headaches, fatigue, constipation, dizziness, and muscle cramps. While drinking more water may make you run to the bathroom room more frequently, it's much better than the alternatives.

• Exercise Daily

You should be doing some form of vigorous exercise three days a week. On the other days get up and move. It doesn't have to be anything more than a leisurely walk or taking a swim in the pool.

• Eat right

Start by adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet--shoot for 5-9 servings a day. Try to reduce the amount of processed sugar you eat. Satisfy your sweet tooth with some grapes or an orange!

• Do what you enjoy

Exercise does not have to be limited to the gym. You can swim, play a sport like tennis, pickle ball or basketball. You can go for a run, a walk or a swim. If you do something you like, you're more apt to continue it.

• Vary your exercise

If you have been doing the same routine in the gym for months or years, it's time to change it up. Your muscles get use to the movements and will not respond as before.

Ellen Book-O'Neill is a certified personal trainer through the American Council of Exercise and has had training through the National Association of Sports Medicine. She holds specialized certification in Nutrition, Pilates, Meditation, and Aqua Fitness. She is currently seeking certifications as a Cancer Exercise Specialist and a Drums Alive instructor.
