Kaisi saji hai saji hai dekho maati apni

Bani rashke jahaan yaara ho

Kai rang hai boli hai kai desh hai magar

yahi jag hai samaaya saara ho

Laagi re ab laagi re lagan

Jaagi re mann jeet ki agan

Uthi re ab iraadon mein tapan

Chali re gori chali ban than”

Gold prices set to touch Rs 20,000 /10 gm by Diwali, Current Gold Price, One Can Invest Through Gold Benchmark Exchange Traded Scheme, Its Latest NAV

Gold prices are all set to touch Rs 19,500-20,000 per 10 grams by Diwali due to rising investor interest, a top industry official said.

"We expect gold prices to cross Rs 19,500-Rs 20,000 per 10 grams by Diwali this year after some correction in prices," Bombay Bullion Associations (BBA) President Suresh Hundia told PTI here.

Standard gold (99.5 purity) closed at Rs 18,910 and pure gold (99.9 purity) at Rs 19,000 per 10 grams in the Mumbai bullion market last week.

In New York, gold for December delivery is hovering at $1,237.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the NYMEX.

Gold may reach at least $1,350 an ounce this year as investors seek a shield against financial turmoil, weak currencies and inflation, analysts said.

Indian households are the largest gold consumers in the world. India's bullion demand almost doubled in the first-half of the year, even as prices touched a record high in June.

The forthcoming festive season of Ganesh Chaturthi, Dusshera and Diwali may further fuel gold jewellery demand.

"Gold demand is expected to increase due to forthcoming festival seasons and wedding season," Hundia said.

Gold prices continue to appreciate in the international market, with prices touching multi-week highs in dollar and euro terms. This was due to concerns about the health of the global economy and double dip recession fears, which has made gold an attractive investment haven, Bonanza Commodity Brokers Senior Research Analyst Basant Vaid said.

Demand for gold in India rose by 94 per cent to 365 tonnes in H1, 2010, compared to 188.4 tonnes in H1, 2009, clearly indicating that there has been a rebound in demand. In value terms, India's gold demand grew from Rs 27,300 crore in H1, 2010, to Rs 60,500 crore in the corresponding period a year ago, an increase of 122 per cent.

"With the Indian marriage season coming up as well as important festivals like Dhanteras and Diwali, we anticipate gold demand will remain robust throughout 2010," World Gold Council Managing Director (Middle East and India) Ajay Mitra said.

Govt. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to table Direct Taxes Code (DTC) bill on 30 august 2010: slabs for personal income tax & Its Impact

Govt. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to table Direct Taxes Code (DTC) bill on 30 august 2010: slabs for personal income tax & Its Impact

The Government will table the much-awaited Direct Taxes Code (DTC) bill in the Lok Sabha tomorrow, that is expected to provide relief to income tax payers, both personal and corporate, though not as much as was proposed earlier in the draft.

The government is quite confident of replacing archaic Income Tax Act with DTC from April 1, 2011.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said he would announce the slabs for personal income tax while tabling the bill and has refused to share the details before that.

He has only said so far that the exemption limit will be raised from the current Rs 1.6 lakh in a year to Rs two lakh.

However, sources said that as per the bill, approved by the Cabinet on Thursday, income between Rs 2-5 lakh is likely to attract 10 per cent tax; for Rs 5-10 lakh it will be 20 per cent and above Rs 10 lakh, 30 per cent.

Currently income between Rs 1.6-5 lakh attracts 10 per cent tax; between 5-8 lakh, 20 per cent and beyond 8 lakh, 30 per cent.

The proposed tax slabs are much lower than originally proposed in the draft DTC bill -- 10 per cent for Rs 1.6 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, 20 per cent between Rs 10-25 lakh and 30 per cent for income above Rs 30 lakh.

Compared to the current tax slabs, the proposed rates will make tax payers earning Rs 15 lakh a year richer by Rs 41,040.

Similarly, tax burden would reduce by Rs 21,540 for those earning between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 10 lakh annually, while those earning between Rs 2-5 lakh could be richer by Rs 7,660, Deloitte Haskins & Sells Partner Neeru Ahuja said.

The tax slabs are proposed to be reduced from the draft stage, because the government is expected to retain income tax exemption on interest on housing loans up to Rs 1.5 lakh a year, under pressure from certain quarters.

Also, earlier proposals of taxing long term savings like provident funds at the time of withdrawal have been dropped.

DTC aims at reducing tax rates, and cutting exemptions.

With the government getting adverse feedback on the proposals to withdraw some exemptions, it will have to calibrate tax rates to save the government kitty.

The DTC bill also proposes to retain corporate tax at 30 per cent, but without surcharge and cess. With them, the current tax liability on corporates comes to over 33 per cent.

Tax experts said this proposal will provide much needed relief to the industry and bring the levy on par with global standards, though the industry wanted it to be reduced to 25 per cent.

The government also conceded to the industry demand not to levy minimum alternate tax (MAT) on assets but book profits of the companies. So, it had to dilute earlier proposal of cutting corporate tax to 25 per cent, sources said.

However, the government raised MAT to 20 per cent from 18 per cent, but it should not make much of a difference since with surcharge and cesses, MAT currently comes to 19.33 per cent.

MAT is tax imposed on profit earning companies that do not fall under the tax net because of various exemptions.

Sources said it is for Parliament to decide whether DTC will be the money bill or ordinary legislation.

In case, it is money bill, the government is required to pass it in the Lok Sabha only.

As such, the government is confident that the DTC could be enacted from next fiscal.

SBI associate banks again up 20% & rally still continues-State Bank of Mysore ,Bikaner & Jaipur, Travancore,& SBI Latest Stock/Share Price & Tips

The shares of three associate banks of State Bank of India (SBI) hit their upper limit of 20 per cent today on news about rights issue and speculation of a possible merger with the parent.

State Bank of Mysore rose 20 per cent, or Rs 184.30, to Rs 1,105.95 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). On Saturday, the public sector lender said its board would meet on August 25 to decide the record date as well as the ratio and pricing of its proposed rights issue.

The shares of other two banks, State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur (up 20 per cent to Rs 685.70) and State Bank of Travancore (up 20 per cent to Rs 902.30), rose on expectation of their merger with SBI. These three were among the top 10 gainers on BSE on Monday. “There is a possibility of merger of these two banks with SBI,” said Kishore Otswal, chairman and managing director of CNI Research.

Last month, the government passed an order for merging State Bank of Indore with SBI with effect from August 26.

A senior SBI official said, “There is no specific plan as of now to integrate other associate banks expeditiously with the parent.”

SBI shares rose 1.4 per cent, or Rs 38.95, to Rs 2,822.60 in a flat Mumbai market. The Sensex closed up 0.04 per cent, or 7.53 points, at 18,409.35.

MPs' 'take home' salary Rs 45 lakh a year, still many of them unhappy...

MPs' 'take home' salary Rs 45 lakh a year, still many of them unhappy...

NEW DELHI: MPs on Friday responded to the Cabinet approving a 200% hike in their basic salary—from Rs 16,000 to Rs 50,000—by creating a furore in Lok Sabha. MPs have pegged the discourse on a salary hike to the basic component—one of the 16 parts of their compensation package—of Rs 16,000 per month, or Rs 1.92 lakh a year. This is grossly misleading. If values are imputed to the other 15 components of an MP’s package, it works out to—hold your breath—Rs 45 lakh a year. And this is a conservative estimate.

MPs stay in prime locales. They fly business class. They, along with spouse and attendant, are allowed unlimited AC rail travel. Their basic domestic and all working expenses are taken care of. Anil Bairwal, national co-ordinator for the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), says it’s a myth that MPs get paid Rs 16,000 a month. “They don’t have to pay for water, electricity, telephone, even Internet or travel. It’s more or less free and the citizens pay for it,” he said. ADR, an NGO that works towards strengthening democracy and governance, was founded by a group of IIM and NID faculty.

This is how companies calculate compensation, or what is called ‘cost to company’. By a similar logic, the ‘cost to government’—by extension, ‘cost to taxpayers’—for an MP’s salary would work out to about Rs 45 lakh. Under the terms approved by the Cabinet, it would be Rs 60 lakh, or 10 times their basic salary.

This is less than what the parliamentary committee on salaries and allowances wanted. It wanted the basic salary to be increased to Rs 80,000 per month and other perks to be revalued. This would have roughly worked out to a gross package of Rs 67 lakh a year.

The clamour of MPs for a raise comes at a time when their productivity has slid. In 2009, Lok Sabha was convened for a mere 64 days, a number steadily falling from the 151 sittings in 1956. They passed 30 legislative bills, but hardly discussed or debated them. In the winter session alone, eight bills were cleared in less than five minutes.

“An MP’s role is to make laws, exercise control over the executive to see that the laws are implemented, and formulate macro-level public policy,” says former Union minister Suresh Prabhu. “But MPs don’t do these things and believe vocal chords are more crucial than mental faculties. If their compensation can be linked to their deliverables, the gains in the country’s governance would nullify the higher outgo.”

What skews the argument against them is that most MPs—there are, however, exceptions—are extremely wealthy, as their affidavits with the Election Commission show. ADR pegs the average assets of a Lok Sabha MP at Rs 4-5 crore, even after excluding three MPs with assets of over Rs 100 crore from the calculation.

There are MPs who are not that wealthy, and could do with more support from the system. The odds are stacked against the not-so-rich politician. In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, just 0.43% of candidates with less than Rs 10 lakh in assets got elected.

MSC CHITRA & MV Khalijia-III-Two Panamanian vessels, collided on 7th August, 2662 tonnes of fuel, 283 tonnes of diesel and 88040 litres of lubricant

MSC CHITRA & MV Khalijia-III-Two Panamanian vessels, collided on 7th August, 2662 tonnes of fuel, 283 tonnes of diesel and 88040 litres of lubricant oil.

Two Panamanian vessels, MSC Chitra and MV Khalijia-III collided on 7th August, Saturday morning at the mouth of the Mumbai harbour. As an impact, the MSC Chitra skewed sharply under the collision resulting in an oil spill from the vessel. Over 350 tonnes of oil spilled into the sea. In the case of the BP oil spill, 700,000 to 1.1 million tonnes had poured into the Gulf of Mexico .

MSC Chitra had a cargo of 1219 containers when it collided and the cargo contained 2662 tonnes of fuel, 283 tonnes of diesel and 88040 litres of lubricant oil. MV Khalijia was loaded with 30,000 tons of steel coils during collision. The container vessel MSC Chitra tilted sharply at angle of 45 Degree following the collision. 31 containers carried sodium hydroxide and organophosphorus pesticides, among other hazardous material.

The oil leakage has been plugged and the ship has been stabilized.

“Operation Chitra is over. The ship has been stabilised although it remains tilted at 60° to 70°. Salvage operations are on now, the Coast Guard said ...............

Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)-Introduction, How to read, Derived, Implications on Economy.

Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)-Introduction, How to read, Derived, Implications on Economy.

Started in 1948 by the US-based Institute of Supply Management, the Purchasing Managers’ Index, or PMI, has now become one of the most closely watched indicators of business activity across the world. ET explains how the index works and what it means:

What is a PMI?

PMI or a Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is an indicator of business activity -- both in the manufacturing and services sectors. It is a survey-based measures that asks the respondents about changes in their perception of some key business variables from the month before. It is calculated separately for the manufacturing and services sectors and then a composite index is constructed.

How is the PMI derived?

The PMI is derived from a series of qualitative questions. Executives from a reasonably big sample, running into hundreds of firms, are asked whether key indicators such as output, new orders, business expectations and employment were stronger than the month before and are asked to rate them.

How does one read the PMI?

A figure above 50 denotes expansion in business activity. Anything below 50 denotes contraction. Higher the difference from this mid-point greater the expansion or contraction. The rate of expansion can also be judged by comparing the PMI with that of the previous month data. If the figure is higher than the previous month’s then the econ-omy is expanding at a faster rate. If it is lower than the previous month then it is growing at a lower rate.

What are its implications for the economy?

The PMI is usually released at the start of the month, much before most of the official data on industrial output, manufacturing and GDP growth becomes available. It is, therefore, considered a good leading indicator of economic activity. Economists consider the manufacturing growth measured by the PMI as a good indicator of industrial output, for which official statistics are released later. Central banks of many countries also use the index to help make decisions on interest rates.

What does it mean for financial markets?

The PMI also gives an indication of corporate earnings and is closely watched by investors as well as the bond markets. A good reading enhances the attractiveness of an economy vis-a- vis another competing economy. For instance, India’s manufacturing activity as measured by the PMI expanded to 57.6 5 in July, while for China it dipped for the first time in over a year.
