1. The Government of India had set up the 4th
Fare Fixation Committee in May-2016 to recommend the fares of Delhi Metro as
per the provisions of Delhi Metro Rail (Operation & Maintenance) Act, 2002.

of six fare slabs as against the existing 15 fare slabs with a minimum fare of

GST tax rates set at 5, 12, 18, 28%; Parliament can now take up legislations in Winter Session
GST tax rates set at 5, 12, 18, 28%; Parliament can now take up legislations in Winter Session
November 3, 2016
The GST Council has fixed the tax rate, moving a step ahead in materialising the dream to make India a single market from 1 April 2017.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley said at a press conference that GST Council has fixed the four-tier structure of 5 percent, 12 percent, 18 percent and 28 percent.The Centre had earlier proposed the tiers at 6, 12, 18 and 26 percent, the peak rate being for FMCG and consumer durables.
The Council comprising state finance ministers and headed by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has opted for a lower rate of 5 percent instead of the proposed 6 percent.
The members have agreed to raise the higher slab to 28 percent rate from the proposed 26 percent.
The middle slabs of 12 percent and 18 percent for certain categories have been retained.
The finance minister said 50 percent of the goods comprising the CPI basket will attract no tax. The five percent tax rate is applicable on items for mass consumption.
There are two standard rates of 12 percent and 18 percent.
Most of the white goods will be taxed at 28 percent with riders under GST, as against the present 30-31 percent.
The finance minister also said that several items will be transferred to 18 percent bracket from 28 percent now.
The cess on sin and energy cess will be added to state compensation pool. The Centre has agreed to to pay Rs 50,000 crore as compensation in the first year of GST to make good the revenue loss incurred by states.
GST Council has approved cess on tobacco products, and sin items. Aerated drinks, pan masala, luxury cars and tobacco will be taxed higher than 28 percent. The decision on rate for gold is yet to be taken.
Tax rate was considered one of the most contentious issue. With a resolution arrived at for this, Parliament can now go ahead with the legislations of the Central GST (CGST) and Integrated GST (IGST) in the Winter Session beginning November 16 and pave the way for rollout of the new indirect tax regime from April 1 next year.
Commenting on the development, Abhishek Jain, partner, Ernst and Young, said with the GST Council arriving at a decision on tax rates and slabs one of the fundamental issues regarding the tax reform has been resolved.
“Now the committee of secretaries need to decide on what products will fall under each tax bracket. The industry will be keenly awaiting these decisions since that is likely to have impact on their businesses,” he said.
However, the council may be able to take a decision on taking up required legislations in the coming Winter Session now, he said.

Railways ignore fleecing by food operators
Railways ignore fleecing by food operators
NAGPUR: Volume of tea and coffee being served aboard trains and on platforms is supposed to be 150ml. For this, capacity of the cup or glass has to be 170ml. Do passengers know the capacity of paper cups in which they are served tea or coffee is only 100ml and they are actually served only 75ml tea instead of 150ml. Not just that they are charged 10 for it instead of 7.
It is not just tea and coffee, even meals on trains are being overcharged. A meal which normally should be sold for 50, is being sold for anything from 90 to 120 with no distinction in food items. Road safety activist Vinay Kunte alleged he was charged 90 for same food in Mumbai-Howrah Mail and while returningin Howrah-LTT Jnaneshwari Express, he had to pay 120.
The more the railways is talking about improving services, the worse it is getting on the ground. In a complaint to railway minister Suresh Prabhu on small size of cups and overcharging in the trains and stations, Kunte said it seems to be a racket of fleecing passengers. "The railway staff seem hand-in-glove with the catering contractors who rob and cheat the passengers," said Kunte.
Central Railway PRO PD Patil says, "Random checks are conducted aboard trains in the division. Not only the food quality is checked but a fine is imposed on erring contractors for overcharging."
However, narrating his experience, Kunte, who was travelling from Howrah on October 16, said tea/coffee was being sold in small cups for 10. It should have been sold for 7. "The official rate for meals is 45, but 90 was charged in Mumbai-Howrah mail. For the same, 120 was charged while coming back. This was despite there being no change in items in the platter," Kunte said.
He added no menu card with prices of all items is displayed. This allows contractors to overcharge passengers. Soft drinks too are being sold for 20 instead of 15. "When I demanded, pantry car in-charge refused to show the price list," said Kunte.
Regular traveller and consumer rights activist Avinash Prabhune said railway officials must be held directly responsible because it is impossible to continue such practices without their knowledge. "Apart from overpricing, unauthorized vendors supplying substandard food openly in trains is a serious issue. It is common scene on trains and station. The action by the railways is just an eyewash," said Prabhune.

Passenger services available at affordable prices to the common man and little more rates for freight
NEW DELHI: Railway freight earnings are utilised to cross-subsidise passenger business, thus making passenger services available at affordable prices to the common man, Lok Sabha was informed today.
"The Railways overcharge a little more in freight rates and charge a little less in passenger fares," Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said during question hour.
He said the decision to choose a mode of freight transport depends on several factors, freight rates being only one of those.
The Minister said capacity creation would enable Railways to provide better services at lower costs and enhance its competitiveness vis-a-vis other modes of transport.
"Railways realise that they need to tap additional funds to supplement resources forthcoming from budgetary support and internal generation if the network has to be expanded and decongested," he said.
Prabhu said a beginning has been made in the Railway Budget 2015-16 where Railways have announced its intention to invest Rs 8.5 lakh crore in the next five years through raising of resources from multilateral development banks and pension funds, in addition to existing sources.
"In addition, Railways have also undertaken immediate short term measures like freight incentive schemes, automatic empty flow rebate, improving throughput per train, running longer trains etc.," he said.
The Minister said schemes for attracting private investment in wagons and terminals have also been put in place. It is expected that these short and long term measures would enable the Railways regain market share in both passenger and freight segments in the years ahead.
