    DRI uncovers large-scale illegal use of SAFTA agreement in areca imports
    Show AI Summary
    SAFTA origin fraud in areca imports allegedly enabled improper duty exemption through false Bangladeshi-origin declarations.
    SAFTA preferential duty treatment for areca-nut imports was allegedly misused by falsely declaring goods originating in South-East Asian countries as Bangladeshi origin. Since areca nuts normally attract 100% basic customs duty, the scheme sought to obtain the full SAFTA exemption reserved for qualifying Bangladeshi goods meeting Rules of Origin requirements. The alleged mechanism included routing goods through Bangladesh, changing containers and bags, using improperly obtained Certificates of Origin, and facilitating clearance through importers, Customs Brokers and IEC holders. Investigative findings also indicated cash proceeds, hawala channels and dummy entities.

    Show AI Summary
    FCNR(B) concessional swap facility closure may reduce temporary foreign-currency inflow support and heighten rupee weakness concerns.
    The Reserve Bank of India restricted its concessional swap facility for FCNR(B) deposits to deposits mobilised by August 31, advancing the earlier cut-off date. The facility was intended to encourage foreign-currency inflows, while banks mobilise such deposits through attractive interest rates. Market commentary indicated that existing inflows may support the rupee in the near term, but the curtailed availability of the facility could reduce this temporary cushion and increase depreciation risk.

    Need one or two Indian pharma firms to be among global top 5: PM Modi
    Show AI Summary
    Global pharmaceutical leadership is urged through Indian firms achieving top-five status, supported by generic manufacturing and export capacity.
    Indian pharmaceutical companies are urged to attain representation among the world's five leading pharmaceutical firms, despite India's established position as a major producer of generic medicines. India has a broad manufacturing base, supplies generic medicines across numerous therapeutic categories, and exports to worldwide markets including highly regulated jurisdictions. Although pharmaceutical exports and the domestic market have expanded, Indian firms have not yet secured positions among the largest global companies. Greater international scale may be supported through acquisitions and expanded established-brand and branded-generic operations.

    Current account deficit widens to USD 6.2 bn in Jun: RBI data
    Show AI Summary
    Current account deficit widened as merchandise trade imbalance expanded, despite stronger services surplus, transfers, and positive capital inflows.
    India's current account deficit widened in June 2026, principally because merchandise imports increased faster than exports and expanded the merchandise trade deficit. A higher services surplus, increased net transfers and a narrower net income deficit provided partial offsets. Net capital inflows, including foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment, supported a positive overall monthly balance. During the April-June quarter, despite increased services surplus and net transfers, the overall balance shifted to a deficit as the merchandise trade deficit widened.

      Lok Sabha - 07.09.2007

      The details of amount disbursed as reward to informers by the Income Tax Department during the last three years are as under:-

      Financial Year

      Amount  in lakhs)

      i. 2004-05

      205.17

       

       

      ii. 2005-06

      164.43

       

       

      iii. 2006-07

      230.72

      Payment of Reward is considered "outstanding" only when Competent Authority has determined the amount of reward and it is yet to be disbursed. Accordingly, an amount of Rs.1.28 lakhs only is outstanding in a single case. Since the informer is not presently traceable in the given address, necessary efforts are being made to disburse the outstanding amount.

      The existing guidelines of Central Board of Direct Taxes for payment of reward to informers are considered adequate.

      This information was given by Minister of State for Finance, Shri S.S. Palanimanickam in reply to a question raised by Shri Abdul Rashid Shaheen in Lok Sabha today.
