  • PM Modi Launches GST 2.0 Reforms as ‘Bachat Utsav’ for Middle-Class and Poor, Effective September 22

    New Delhi, September 21, 2025 – Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a televised address on the eve of Navaratri, announced a major revamp of India’s indirect tax system with the introduction of GST 2.0, dubbing it a “Bachat Utsav” — a nationwide festival of savings — to alleviate household expenses and stimulate economic growth. The reforms, approved by the GST Council earlier this month, will take effect from September 22, aligning with the start of Navaratri.

    Modi emphasized that the changes will lower the cost of living for the poor and middle class while making India more attractive to investors and entrepreneurs by streamlining the tax framework. “From tomorrow, the nation will celebrate GST Bachat Utsav. Your savings will increase, and you will be able to buy your favourite things. This reform will benefit every section of society,” the Prime Minister stated.

    Key Features of GST 2.0
    The new two-tier GST rate system includes:

    • 99% of goods previously taxed at 12% now at 5%.
    • 90% of items in the 28% slab shifted to 18%.
    • A 40% compensation cess retained on luxury and sin goods like tobacco, high-end vehicles, and aerated drinks.

    Modi reflected on the pre-2014 tax regime as a “web of taxes and tolls” that burdened businesses and consumers, with cascading costs ultimately affecting the common people. “It was essential to free the nation from this maze,” he added. He described GST 2.0 as a “double bonanza” for households — reducing prices on essentials and boosting savings — while fostering state uniformity and collaborative development.

  • Centre’s Major GST Overhaul: Slabs Reduced to Two (5% and 18%), Hundreds of Items to Get Cheaper from September 22

    New Delhi, September 3, 2025: The GST Council, in its 56th meeting chaired by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, approved a landmark overhaul of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure, reducing the four main slabs (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) to two slabs of 5% and 18%, effective from September 22, 2025, the start of Navratri. A special 40% slab will apply to “sin goods” like tobacco and luxury items, while cigarettes and similar items retain 28% plus compensation cess until loan repayments are cleared.

    The reforms aim to boost consumption ahead of the festive season, address inverted duty structures in textiles and fertilizers, ease MSME compliance, and counter export challenges from US tariffs. Sitharaman emphasized that the changes prioritize the “common man and middle class.” GST on individual life and health insurance policies (term, ULIP, endowment, family floaters, senior citizens) and reinsurance is now exempt (0%), enhancing affordability.

    “This is a simpler, growth-oriented GST reform,” Sitharaman said. “We’ve corrected inversions, removed disputes, and ensured economic momentum with state support.”

    Key Changes: What’s Cheaper and What’s Costlier Nearly 99% of items in the 12% slab move to 5%, and 90% in the 28% slab shift to 18%. Essentials like paneer, Indian breads (roti, paratha), and namkeens are now at 0% or 5%, while luxury goods like large cars and tobacco face 40%. Below is a table of major rate changes (sourced from the Ministry of Finance):

  • Kundapur: ₹15.94 Crore Released for Panch Guarantee Schemes in July, Says H. Hariprasad Shetty

    Kundapur, August 28, 2025: At a meeting of the Kundapur Taluk Guarantee Implementation Committee held at the Taluk Panchayat Hall, President H. Hariprasad Shetty reported robust progress in Karnataka’s Panch Guarantee Schemes. By July 2025, Kundapur taluk received ₹15,94,82,613, including ₹7,04,26,000 for Gruha Lakshmi, ₹4,37,45,109 for Gruha Jyothi, ₹2,55,27,659 for Shakti, and ₹1,97,83,845 for Annabhagya, contributing to a cumulative total of ₹3,96,70,81,852. These schemes provide financial aid, free electricity, free bus travel for women, and food security.

    Shetty announced that applications for new ration cards and member additions will open in September, with a formal request to be submitted to the government. He instructed MESCOM officials to consult senior authorities on issuing temporary electricity permits for new house constructions and to resolve eKYC and Aadhaar seeding issues.

    Committee member Zahir Ahmed Nakhuda urged KSRTC to introduce direct bus connectivity from Gangolli to Byndoor, citing demands from two educational institutions, and requested a new transformer for Kadihitlu village in Gujjadi to address power supply issues.

    Shetty noted delays in temporary bus permits for Nada and Badakere due to the District Collector’s transfer but assured resolution within 15 days. He also directed KSRTC to consider extending the Mysuru-Kollur (Hunsur depot) bus service beyond Mangaluru to Kollur or introducing a separate Kundapur-Kollur route. Members Chandra Kanchan and Arun Hakladi emphasized timely electricity bill issuance to avoid confusion, warning that delays cause beneficiary inconvenience.

    The committee addressed Gruha Lakshmi’s eKYC and Aadhaar seeding issues, noting that IT and GST-related discrepancies have been resolved at the government level. Eligible beneficiaries yet to receive funds were advised to submit details through anganwadi workers

    Zahir Ahmed Nakhuda raised concerns about elderly individuals facing difficulties with fingerprint verification, as repeated visits to ration shops pose challenges, particularly in single-member elderly households. He urged the government to formulate relaxed rules for such cases. Members also demanded subsidized rice for APL families and opportunities for new ration cards and member additions.

    Attendees included Vasundhara Hegde, Chandra Kanchan, Abhijit Poojari, Vani R. Shetty, Asha Carvalho, Narayana Achar, Ganesh, Savita Poojari, Manju Kothari, and Zahir Ahmed Nakhuda. Taluk Panchayat Manager Ramachandra Mayya delivered the vote of thanks.

  • Karnataka govt announces 50% discount on pending traffic fines

    Bengaluru, August 22, 2025: The Karnataka government has launched a limited-period scheme offering a 50% discount on pending traffic violation fines to provide relief to vehicle owners. The initiative, detailed in an official order by Pushpa V S, Under-Secretary of the State Transport Department, is effective from August 23 to September 12, 2025, and applies to violations recorded under the police department’s e-challan system up to February 11, 2023.

    This marks the second time the state has introduced such a concession, following a successful earlier scheme that saw significant recovery of pending fines. The current offer targets motorists with long-pending dues, encouraging them to clear penalties by paying only half the amount. For violations recorded after February 12, 2023, the government has indicated that a similar discount may be considered in 2026.

    The Transport Department urges vehicle owners to take advantage of this window to settle their dues and avoid legal complications. Details on accessing the e-challan system and paying fines are available through official police and transport department portals.

  • Vidhana Soudha: Karnataka Assembly Passes Child Marriage Prohibition (Amendment) Bill

    Bengaluru, August 18, 2025: The Karnataka Legislative Assembly unanimously passed the Child Marriage Prohibition (Amendment) Bill on Monday, presented by Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar. The bill introduces stringent measures to combat child marriage, a persistent social issue in the state, with the goal of eradicating it at the grassroots level.

    Speaking after presenting the bill, Hebbalkar highlighted the severity of child marriage as a social evil that successive governments and laws have struggled to eliminate. She noted that in 2024-25, the Women and Child Development Department identified 1,828 child marriage cases, successfully preventing 1,460 of them. However, 369 cases still occurred, leading to the filing of FIRs. The minister emphasized the department’s commitment to rooting out the practice entirely.

    Under the amended law, stricter enforcement will be applied, including legal action against those involved in arranging child engagements. Offenders face a penalty of ₹1 lakh and up to two years of imprisonment. “Our department’s primary objective is to eradicate child marriage at its core,” Hebbalkar stated, underscoring the need for robust measures to protect young girls and boys from early marriages that hinder their education and well-being.

    The passage of the bill marks a significant step in strengthening Karnataka’s legal framework to address child marriage, aligning with broader efforts to promote gender equality and child welfare.

  • Karnataka’s Shakti Scheme Enters Golden Book of World Records for transporting 500 Crore Women Passengers

    Bengaluru, August 18, 2025 – The Karnataka government’s flagship Shakti Scheme, which provides free bus travel for women, has secured a prestigious entry in the Golden Book of World Records for enabling 5,04,94,76,416 (over 500 crore) women passengers to travel between June 11, 2023, and July 25, 2025. Transport and Muzrai Minister Ramalinga Reddy described the achievement as a moment of immense pride and joy, attributing it to the collective efforts of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC), and Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KKRTC).

    In a press statement, Reddy highlighted the scheme’s role in empowering women socially, educationally, economically, and professionally, aligning with the vision of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. He dedicated the milestone to the transport corporations’ staff, management, and labor leaders, acknowledging their dedication and honest service. The minister also thanked the media for their support and constructive suggestions since the scheme’s inception.

    The Shakti Scheme faced significant challenges at its launch, with transport corporations grappling with outdated fleets, no new recruitments, and financial burdens. Despite these hurdles, Reddy noted that the government added 5,800 new buses, recruited 10,000 staff, and provided ₹2,000 crore to clear debts, leading to increased ridership and transformative changes in the transport sector.

    A study by the Sustainable Mobility Network, titled Beyond Free Rides, conducted across 10 Indian cities, revealed that the scheme increased women’s workforce participation by 23% in Bengaluru and 21% in Hubballi-Dharwad, contributing to a rise in per capita income. The initiative has also inspired other states to adopt similar programs under different names, underscoring its national impact.

    Reddy emphasized that while challenges like fleet shortages and connectivity issues in rural areas persist, the government remains committed to addressing them. The scheme’s success has earned Karnataka’s transport corporations 185 national and international awards, solidifying its status as a model for gender-inclusive public transport.

  • Legislation in the Shadows: India’s Privacy and Democracy at Risk

    Last week, as India was consumed by controversies over voter list tampering, stray dog policies, and electoral concerns in Bihar, the Indian Parliament quietly passed three major bills: the Income-Tax (No.2) Bill, 2025, the National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, and the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025. These laws, which could reshape your taxes, your privacy, and the future of Indian sports, were rushed through with barely any debate or opposition. For every Indian, this is a wake-up call: when laws slip through in silence, our privacy and democracy are at stake.

    The Income-Tax (No.2) Bill, 2025, passed in the Lok Sabha on August 11 and the Rajya Sabha the next day, replaces the 1961 Income-Tax Act with what the government calls a simpler, modern system for a digital India. But here’s the alarming part: it gives tax officials sweeping powers to access your emails, social media accounts, WhatsApp chats, and other digital spaces if they suspect tax evasion. Imagine tax authorities reading your private messages or scrolling through your Instagram DMs without clear oversight. With over 500 clauses, this bill needed thorough discussion, but it was approved in just three minutes. This isn’t just about taxes—it’s a direct threat to your privacy, a right upheld by the Supreme Court in 2017. For salaried workers, small business owners, or anyone with a smartphone, this means your personal data could be an open book to officials, with little to stop misuse.

    The sports bills, passed in a mere 34 minutes on August 11, carry their own concerns. The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, creates a National Sports Board and a tribunal to streamline sports management, while the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025, strengthens penalties and testing to align with global standards, eyeing India’s 2036 Olympics bid. But a controversial detail stands out: the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was exempted from the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Initially, the bill proposed making all sports bodies, including the BCCI, answerable under RTI, which would let fans question team selections or how cricket’s billions are spent. An amendment, however, limited RTI to bodies receiving direct government funds, letting the BCCI—a financial giant that doesn’t take such funds—stay opaque. Despite calls from the Supreme Court and others for transparency, cricket, India’s biggest sport, remains shielded from public scrutiny. These bills, with only two MPs speaking and amendments ignored, missed the debate they needed to protect athletes and fans alike.

    How did this happen? The opposition was nowhere to be found, caught up in protests outside Parliament. Allegations of “vote chori” (vote theft) and voter list tampering in Bihar’s Summary Intensive Revision (SIR) process had leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge marching to the Election Commission on August 11. Many were detained by police, leaving Parliament’s opposition benches nearly empty. Meanwhile, a Supreme Court order to relocate stray dogs from Delhi-NCR sparked outrage, with MPs like Shashi Tharoor and Priyanka Gandhi pushing for humane solutions like shelters. These issues—electoral integrity and animal welfare—mattered, but they distracted the opposition from their duty to scrutinize laws that could invade your privacy or shield powerful bodies like the BCCI.

    This feels like a calculated move. With opposition MPs detained or protesting, the government pushed these bills through with quick voice votes, no real debate, and no changes allowed. Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien called it a “murder of Parliament,” and he’s right. Laws that let tax officials into your private chats or keep cricket’s operations secret need rigorous discussion. Without it, we risk laws that prioritize control over fairness. The Income-Tax Bill’s privacy intrusions could chill free expression, while the BCCI’s RTI exemption keeps a national institution unaccountable. The sports reforms, though promising, needed more input to ensure they truly serve athletes.

    Democracy thrives on open discussion, not hurried decisions. All MPs, whether from the government or opposition, should prioritize debating laws that affect us all. As citizens, we can play a role too—by staying informed and asking questions about what these laws mean for our taxes, our privacy, and our sports. Last week, Parliament acted while India was focused elsewhere. Let’s hope for more transparency and engagement in the future, so our voices—and our rights—are fully heard.

  • Udupi Police Launch Rs 2.5 Crore CCTV Surveillance Project and Drishti Night Patrol Scheme

    Udupi, August 11, 2025: The Udupi district police, in collaboration with the Udupi District Chamber of Commerce, have launched a Rs 2.5 crore surveillance project to install 601 CCTV cameras across 207 junctions to enhance safety and curb criminal activities. Superintendent of Police Hariram Shankar announced the initiative during a press conference on Monday.

    In the initial phase, 10 Automatic Number Plate Reader (ANPR) cameras will be installed at sensitive locations, including Mala, Hosmar, and Sacharipete (Karkala Rural PS); Sanur (Karkala Town PS); Someshwara (Hebri PS); Hosangadi (Amasbail PS); Dali (Kollur PS); Mel Gangolli (Gangolli PS); Malpe Beach (Malpe PS); and City Bus Stand (Udupi Town PS). Additionally, 10 high-quality cameras will be placed at key junctions, including Kalsanka, Karavali, Indrali Bridge, Santhekatte, Service Bus Stand, and Old KSRTC Bus Stand (Udupi CMC limits); M Kodi Junction and Kandlur Market (Kundapura Sub-Division); and Baradi and Naravi (Karkala Sub-Division). Footage will be monitored round-the-clock at local police stations and the District Police Control Room.

    The police have also introduced the “Drishti scheme,” a night patrolling program to prevent theft, crimes against women, and drug-related offenses, while ensuring the safety of commercial establishments, lone-house residents, and senior citizens. Security guards, funded by local residents, will patrol from 10 PM to 6 AM, reporting suspicious activities to beat police or the control room. The scheme is operational in 12 locations—two each in Udupi City, Shirva, and Gangolli police stations, and one each in Kundapura, Hebri, Karkala Town, Hiriyadka, Shankaranarayana, and Brahmavar police stations—with plans to expand to 21 more locations.

    The initiatives, supported by community collaboration, aim to strengthen law enforcement and public safety across Udupi district.

  • Bengaluru: 70% of Minority Department Funds Allocated to Education, Says Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan

    Bengaluru, August 06, 2025: Karnataka’s Minister for Housing, Waqf, and Minority Welfare, B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan, announced that 70% of the funds from the Minority Department are being utilized for education. The statement was made during an event in the city on Wednesday, where talented students from residential schools and colleges under the Minority Welfare Department were honored with the Prathibha Puraskar awards and an educational workshop.

    Speaking at the event, Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan shared his personal journey, saying, “My parents enrolled me in a convent for a good education, but I had to stop after the 10th grade. Now, despite my desire to learn, I can’t. I’ve had the opportunity to become an MLA and a minister, but not everyone gets such chances without education. I urge you all not to abandon your studies midway.”

    He highlighted the department’s progress, noting that 1,20,350 students were enrolled in residential facilities two years ago, a number that has risen to 2,08,065 this year. “Our goal is to reach 5 lakh students in the next three years,” he added. The minister also pointed out the increase in budgetary allocation, from ₹850 crore under the BJP government in 2022-23 to ₹2,101 crore after the Congress took over, with ₹4,537 crore allocated for 2025-26.

    During the event, 125 students who excelled in SSLC and 17 who topped in PUC were awarded ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 in cash along with laptops, respectively. Outstanding district-level officers, taluk extension officers, principals, lecturers, teachers, and wardens were also felicitated. The event saw the presence of notable figures including B.K. Altaf Khan, Chairman of the Minority Development Corporation, S. Jafeth, Chairman of the Christian Development Corporation, and others.

    Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan paid tribute to his political mentor, former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, saying, “Everyone has a guru. For me, it’s H.D. Deve Gowda. I may be in the Congress now, but my guru remains unchanged. I must acknowledge those who shaped me in politics. He rose from poverty to become Prime Minister.”

    Additionally, the minister personally awarded ₹1 lakh to K.M. Roofia, who secured six gold medals in M.Sc. Physics, and promised to cover the full educational expenses for A.R. Rida, who secured an MBBS seat, presenting her with a two-wheeler as a gift.
