TN Assembly adopts resolution to exempt TET for teachers appointed before Aug 2010 Piloting the resolution, School Education Minister A Rajmohan said approximately 3,28,701 government school teachers across the state will be affected by the Teacher Eligibility Test requirement as they face the risk of losing their job benefits or their positions if they do not pass the exam.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kerala chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Monday asked Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to exclude the state from its direction to states to discontinue granting additional bonus given to paddy farmers. Workers winnow paddy grain after harvesting (PTI FILE) Chandrasekhar’s demand comes a day after Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan attacked the BJP-led Union government for asking the state to stop giving paddy farmers a bonus over and above the minimum support price (MSP). On Sunday, the chief minister said it had been procuring paddy from the farmers, paying an additional ₹6.31 per kg over the MSP. On January 9, Union expenditure secretary V Vualnam asked the state government to review its policy on paddy bonus, pointing out that rice stocks had exceeded the requirement for the Public Distribution System (PDS). Vualnam reasoned that continuing to pay the bonus under the circumstances would create a significant and recurring burden on the public exchequer. Chandrasekhar said the issues cited in the finance ministry’s communication, such as surplus production, excess central stocks and groundwater …

Interest on motor accident compensation exempt from income tax

Interest on motor accident compensation exempt from income tax

Published by Webster

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while presenting the Union Budget 2026, highlighted the major relief initiative for victims of road accidents and their families. Sitharaman at Lok Sabha on Sunday announced that the interest accrued on motor accident compensation claims will be fully exempt from income tax, as per IANS.  This proposal of exempting income tax aimed at ensuring that victims receive the complete amount of their claim without any deductions. This move will also eliminate Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on such interest payments.  The announcement came as part of broader tax relief initiatives in the budget, presented in Parliament for the ninth consecutive time by Nirmala Sitharaman.  Under current provisions, interest components awarded by Motor Accident Claims Tribunals (MACT), often substantial due to delays in claim settlements, are treated as taxable income under the Income Tax Act.  This has resulted in victims or their dependents losing a portion of the compensation to tax liabilities, sometimes forcing them to navigate complex refund processes or face reduced financial support for medical care, rehabilitation, and livelihood …

Published by Parlour News

Amid growing opposition over the use of wood and charcoal at commercial eateries and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) mandating that Mumbai’s bakeries switch to cleaner fuel by July 8, former BJP corporator Makarand Narvekar has written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, urging him to grant heritage status to South Mumbai’s Irani cafes and bakeries, and thereby provide an exemption to them. “One of the sectors that stands to be most affected by this decision is the iconic Irani cafes in South Mumbai, which have long been a cornerstone of our city’s food culture and history,” he wrote in his letter dated February 17, adding that these cafes have been in existence for over a century and that the use of wood-fired ovens is an integral part of their legacy. “The distinct taste and aroma of their baked goods result directly from these wood and charcoal-based ovens. Switching to non-wood or coal ovens will alter the flavour of the cuisine that patrons have cherished for generations,” he added. Story continues below this ad Describing …
