GST rationalisation for amusement park admissions could lower ticket prices, stimulate consumer demand, and support investment without input tax credit.

The proposed rate is intended to reduce ticket prices, improve affordability and increase customer demand in a capital-intensive tourism and entertainment sector. Many smaller and mid-sized operators report limited ability to offset GST liability through ITC.

FCNR(B) deposits, together with overseas foreign-currency borrowings and external commercial borrowings, increased aggregate foreign-currency resources. Bank swaps of such deposits with the central bank may create surplus banking-system liquidity and a sterilisation challenge, while oil prices, global yields, dollar movements and foreign equity inflows remain relevant currency-market factors.

Globalisation of auto component manufacturing is linked to trade access, resilient supply chains, technology adoption, safety, and vehicle scrappage.
The auto component industry is encouraged to expand globally through reciprocal market access, overseas manufacturing, international investment and trade partnerships. Supply-chain resilience is to be strengthened through indigenisation of vulnerable products, access to critical minerals, and domestic capacity in auto components, speciality steel, technical textiles and semiconductors. Priority is also given to high-value integrated solutions, artificial intelligence-enabled quality control, vehicle safety and industrial parks offering manufacturing infrastructure. Vehicle scrappage requires coordinated government incentives and fair industry valuation to support replacement demand for new-age vehicles.

Sovereign credit rating upgrade reflects resilient growth, improved fiscal expenditure quality, stronger financial systems, and a robust external position.
India's long-term foreign-currency and local-currency issuer ratings were upgraded from 'BBB+' to 'A-', with a Stable Outlook, reflecting resilient economic growth, improved fiscal expenditure quality, strengthened financial-sector soundness, and a robust external position. Fiscal improvement is linked to greater capital expenditure and lower fiscal deficit. Financial resilience is supported by improved banking and non-banking sector asset quality and capital adequacy. External strength arises from a contained current account deficit, services surplus, and foreign-exchange reserves exceeding short-term external debt.

A special central-bank programme mobilised substantial FCNR(B) deposits, alongside overseas foreign-currency borrowings and external commercial borrowings, to strengthen foreign-exchange liquidity.

Further, the Director FIU IND, in exercise of powers under Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, has also issued notices to the aforesaid entities with respect to takedown of the application/URLs for public access which have been found to be operating illegally without complying with the relevant provisions of the PML Act, 2002 in India.

Till date 50 VDA SPs have registered with FIU IND. However, from time to time the entities which are catering to Indian users but not getting registered and thus remain outside the AML/CFT framework are identified by the FIU IND.

Virtual Digital Assets Service Providers (VDA SPs) were brought into the ambit of Anti Money Laundering/Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML-CFT) framework under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PML) Act, 2002 in March 2023.

The Virtual Digital Asset Service Providers (VDA SPs) operating in India (whether offshore or onshore) and engaged in activities like exchange between virtual digital assets and fiat currencies, transfer of virtual digital assets, safekeeping or administration of virtual digital assets or instruments enabling control over virtual digital assets etc. are required to be registered with FIU IND as Reporting Entity and comply with the set of obligations as mandated under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002. These obligations are activity-based and are not contingent on physical presence of the entity in India. The regulation casts reporting, record keeping, and other obligations on the VDA SPs under the PML Act which also includes registration with the FIU IND.

It must be mentioned that the Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky. There may be no regulatory recourse for any loss from such transactions.
