Impact of GST on Business, Industry and Exporters.
The report was widely publicized and appreciated by the media and stakeholders across India.
The report comprises of a comprehensive survey analysis to identify and access the ground level impediments faced by Businesses, Industry and Exporters due to implementation of GST, which revealed some startling results. The reports reveals the true scenario of the implication of GST on business activity of industries and exporters across India.
According to the survey more than half of the respondents revealed that their business sales post-GST implementation has declined.
· Around 43% of the respondents revealed that the technicalities followed by moving on to GSTN are slightly difficult, whereas 29% and 24% responded that they are very difficult and highly complex, respectively.
· On the questions pertinent to refund mechanism, around 55% of the respondents revealed that the refund mechanism under GST is slightly complex but time saving, whereas 35% of them responded that the mechanism is very complex and time consuming.
· Around 38% revealed that the legal cost incurred due to compliance by their business for entering into GST network was greater than INR 1 lakh whereas half of the respondents revealed that the technical cost was greater than INR 1 lakh.
· On the overall transparency scenario in the GST network, majority of the respondents said that there is less transparency in the mechanism. Around 48% of the respondents said that the refund procedure and accessibility of laws and rules are less transparent. Similarly, 43% of the respondents revealed that changes in rules and laws are less transparent.
To mitigate the hindrances created due to the implementation of GST, the report suggested various reforms in the GST regime. These suggestions include filing of returns quarterly instead of monthly; to keep supply to Merchant Exporter under zero category supply; time limit to pay vendors should be removed; GSTR 2 and 2A matching should be made GSTN wise than Invoice-Wise; to bring back all the benefits of 100% EOU companies under GST regime among others.

UN Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2018
MEDIA LAUNCH
UN Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2018
Tuesday, 8 May 2018, 10.00 a.m.,
at ICRIER Conference Room
(Core 6A, 4th Floor), India Habitat Centre (IHC)
Lodhi Road, New Delhi -110003
……………………………………………………………
Building on steady economic growth, how can Governments in Asia and the Pacific ensure that such performance is sustained over time, is inclusive and has minimal environmental implications? What is the near-term macroeconomic outlook in the region — more specifically the South and South-West Asian subregion — and what are the major current and emerging challenges?
These are some of the questions analysed in the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2018; the latest flagship publication of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). The Survey will also examine the challenges that rapid technological advancements are posing in terms of job polarization, income and wealth inequalities, along with the impact China’s pursuit of innovative, inclusive and sustainable economic growth could have on the region’s economies.
Every year, the Survey discusses regional economic progress, provides cutting-edge analysis and guides policy discussion on current and emerging economic and development issues to support sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. It is the longest running and only publication by an international organization that covers the entire Asian and Pacific region (53 Member States and 9 associate Members).
The Survey will be launched in New Delhi on Tuesday 8 May 2018 at ICRIER Conference Room, IHC, by Dr. Rupa Chanda, Head, ESCAP South and South-West Asia Office and Dr. Jaimini Bhagwati, Reserve Bank of India Chair Professor, ICRIER.

Singh attack Modi “disastrous policies”
Former PM Manmohan Singh on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Modi government for its “disastrous policies” and “economic mismanagement”, and said the country was facing crises that were avoidable.
Mr MM Singh attacked the government over a series of banking sector frauds, the money swindled almost quadrupled from Rs 28,416 crore in September 2013 to Rs 1.11 lakh crore in September 2017.
“Perpetrators of these frauds meanwhile escape with impunity. The economic mismanagement of the Modi government, and I say this with great care and responsibility, is slowly eroding the trust of the general public in the banking sector,” he said. Two “major avoidable blunders” of the Modi government had been demonetisation and hasty implementation of GST.
He said the losses the economy suffered due to these blunders had severely hurt the micro, small and medium enterprises and resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.
Besides, exports as a share of the GDP plunged to a 14 year low at a time when the global economy was reviving and exports of other Asian nations like Vietnam were growing substantially, he said.
Singh said petrol and diesel prices were at a “historic high” despite a fall in international crude oil prices because the Modi government had chosen to levy “excessive” excise duty.
“Instead of passing on the benefits of low prices to the people, the Modi government has punished the people,” he said.
“Our nation today is experiencing difficult times. Our farmers are facing an acute crisis, our aspirational youth are not finding opportunities, and the economy is growing below its potential,” Singh told reporters.

Houses of 1400 poor Dalit and Muslim families under threat
Houses of 1400 poor Dalit and Muslim families under threat of demolition in Mumbai
No eviction without rehabilitation
Due process of law to be followed before carrying out the demolition drive
Mumbai | 6th May, 2018: Amidst hollow populist claims of ‘Housing For All’ and ‘Affordable housing’, the government-administration of Mumbai is once again threatening to demolish homes of around 1400 poor Dalit and Muslim families.
Two slum areas-Bheemchhaya in Kannamwar Nagar, Vikhroli and Cheeta Camp in Trombay are set to be razed to ground by bulldozers.
Bheemchhaya is a Dalit majority community with 800 households while Cheeta Camp is a Muslim majority slum community with 600 households. The demolition will be carried out by the Maharashtra Forest Department.
Government claims that these areas are notified as forest and needs be free of encroachment. However, without following the due process of law and making enough provisions for grievance redressal, the Forest Department has announced the demolition of Cheeta Camp will be carried out tomorrow and Bheemchhaya on later dates. No notices of demolition have been served to the affected families.
These slums are protected as per Maharashtra Slum Act but the Forest Department has notified these areas as ‘reserved forest’ and is disrespecting the housing rights of the slum dwellers by refusing to rehabilitate the protected slum dwellers.
Heavy police forces are deployed for the demolition drive. Local police station of Cheeta Camp is terrorising Muslim youths and threatening them of dire consequences if they try to resist the demolition drive.
While in Bheemchhaya, Forest Department has issued orders of demolition on false grounds without providing the aggrieved slum dwellers any mechanism to appeal against the order. This action will amount to violation of section 3 of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 which prohibits eviction of member of a Dalit Community without following due process of law.
This government is disregarding the vulnerabilities of the Dalits and minority communities in this country by demolishing their only shelter. This will lead to further marginlisation of these communities.
Ghar Bachao Ghar Banao Andolan appeals to the state government of Maharashtra to stop this demolition of homes of vulnerable families with children.
We also appeal to members of civil society, political organisations and concerned citizens of the city to stand up against this injustice. We appeal everyone to visit Bheemachaya and Cheetah Camp to initiate dialogue with members of the community and persuade the state government to resolve matters by dialogue and mutual consent rather than brute police force. The city belongs to everyone and it is the government’s responsibility to ensure housing to all. Instead, for years what Mumbai is witnessing is ‘snatching away’ of homes, life and livelihood by that very state that should protect the poor, vulnerable and marginalised.
We must come together to prevent another gross injustice in the name of demolition that will be remembered as a dark chapter in Mumbai’s history.

Seeking inputs for PHD Chamber’s Exporters’ Perception Survey
NirmalOm news line
In the recent years, India’s trade deficit has widened by 45% to USD 157 billion in 2017-18 compared with USD 108 billion in 2016-17. The year 2017-18 has been a missed opportunity for India to touch an unprecedented growth in its exports, as world economy has shown remarkable signs of growth and major economies like US, EU, Japan are showing rise in their import growth. India’s exports as a percentage of GDP has fallen to its lowest since 2003-04, viz. 12% during 2017-18.
Despite being the fastest moving emerging economy in the world, we are struggling to contribute to the global value chains across the world. The lackluster export performance will have a crippling impact on the growth of Indian economy in the coming years. Various structural and domestic factors such as after-effects of demonetization and teething problems of GST have significantly impacted the potential of exports growth. Many of the exporters are still struggling for their IGST refunds and are out of exports business as their working capital has been squeezed as crores of rupees have been stuck in the IGST refunds process.
At this backdrop, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry is conducting a survey to identify and access the ground level impediments faced by exporters. PHD Chamber’s Exporters’ Perception Survey (EPS) is based on a survey of exporters across different sectors and is used as an indicator to assess outlook of exports performance in India. We therefore request you to kindly share your views by way of answering the survey.

The virtuosic characteristic of both instruments always promises an exciting performance.

Their work together has gathered great interest early on and they have given numerous concerts in the years since then with the help of Philharmonia East-Hungary Non-profit Llc. They have played at the Community Hall of Erzsébetváros, the Klebelsberg Hall of Culture, Cultural Center of Marczibányi Square, the Glass Hall of the Palace of Arts, Budapest, the Törley Salon and many other locations. Since spring 2009 they have fulfilled many invitations abroad, including the Hungarian Institute of Paris, the Hungarian Institute of Sofia, Nagybánya, at the Teleki Home in Kassa, Slovakia, in the Löffler Béla Museum in Kassa, Slovakia. They have also performed in France in the cities of Tours, Angers, Trellieres, St.Florent Le Viel, Mont Louis sur Loire, Fécamp and Amboise.
