Air India Cancels Milan-Delhi Flight Due To Maintenance Issue
Mumbai: Tata Group-owned private carrier Air India on Sunday said it cancelled its Milan-Delhi flight of August 16 after detecting a maintenance issue at the last minute. Alternative arrangements are being made to fly the passengers to their destination at the earliest, Air India said in a statement. "Flight AI138 operating from Milan to Delhi on August 16 was cancelled due to a maintenance task identified during pushback," the statement said. "Our ground team in Milan extended immediate assistance to all the affected passengers, providing hotel accommodation and offering full refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling as opted by the passengers," it said. According to Air India, along with the maintenance issue, the operating crew of the flight come under the mandatory flight duty-time limitation norms. Air India generally operates its Boeing 787-8/9 aircraft fleet to cater to European destinations. The airline, which came under private hands in January 2022, has, of late, been delaying, cancelling some flights at the last minute due to technical and maintenance issues. This is despite airline CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson repeatedly claiming that Air India has carried out comprehensive checks on its Boeing 787 aircraft fleet. A Delhi-bound Air India flight from Bhubaneswar was cancelled just prior to its departure on August 3 due to high cabin temperature. On July 31, an Air India Boeing 787-9 aircraft flying to London had to abort take-off at Delhi airport and return to the bay due to a technical issue. In a message to the customers recently, while listing out the various steps taken after the fatal crash of an AI-171 flight to London soon after take-off from the Ahmedabad airport, Wilson said detailed inspections of its Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft were done and "no issues were found during inspection".

State Finance Minister Panels To Discuss GST Rationalisation At Meeting On August 20-21
Last Updated: PM Narendra Modi said the revised GST framework proposed by the Centre has been circulated among states. He sought their cooperation to implement the proposal before Diwali The three panels of state finance ministers will meet on August 20 and 21 to review the draft of the next-generation GST reforms, including proposals to rationalise the tax structure. The panels, called the Groups of Ministers (GoM), have been set up by the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council to look into rate rationalisation, insurance, and compensation cess. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the revised GST framework proposed by the Centre has been circulated among states. He sought their cooperation to implement the proposal before Diwali. According to a report by Money Control, the recommendations of the three GoMs will be taken to the GST Council, which is expected to meet next month to deliberate on the tax reform proposal. WHAT DOES THE REVISED GST FRAMEWORK PROPOSE? Modi had announced the proposal to reform the GST law during his Independence Day speech on August 15 from the ramparts of the Red Fort. The present GST tax rates of nil/zero on essential food items, 5 percent on daily use products, 12 percent on standard goods, 18 percent on electronics and services and 28 percent on luxury and sin goods will be replaced by two tax slabs of 5 percent and 18 percent plus a special 40 percent top bracket for five to seven demerit goods. The move comes amid the Trump administration's 50 percent tariff imposition on all goods India exports to the United States, so as to punish New Delhi for buying Russian oil. The tariffs are likely to impact $40 billion of non-exempt Indian exports such as gems and jewellery, textiles and footwear.
