my take on todays hindu paper
1.To bring uniformity in calculating base rate among banks rbi proposed a formula to calculate the base rate for lending
i.Rbi suggested banks to consider marginal cost of funds to calculate individual lending rates
ii.The component of base rate include cost of funds,negative carry on crr/slr,unallocable overhead costs,average return on networth
iii.RBI said that it would implement these proposals with effect from April 1, 2016. Banks were asked submit a road map clearly indicating the time frame for adopting these guidelines two months prior to the final implementation.
2.MAT (Minimum alternate tax) to be waived for FIIs
i)Government accepts the Recommendation of the Justice A.P. Shah Committee to clarify the Inapplicability of MAT to FIIs/FPIs and has decided that an appropriate Amendment to the Income-Tax Act will be carried out
ii)Through the amendment the Government proposes to clarify that MAT provisions will not be applicable to FIIs/FPIs not having a place of business/ permanent establishment in India, for the period prior to 01.04.2015. Pending such amendment, CBDT will convey to the field formations the decision of the Government to accept the recommendation.
3)8 people killed and 31 injured in attacks in manipur
i)Violence broke out in churachandpur district in manipur after passage of 3 bills in the state assembly
-Protection of manipur people bill
-the manipur land revenue and land reforms bill 2015
-the manipur shops and establishments bill 2015
