Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Slams Oppn Walkout, Defends Income Tax Bill As ‘Simple And Fair'
/ Aug 12, 2025, 07:59PM IST
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman took a sharp swipe at Opposition parties for walking out of Parliament during the crucial Income Tax Bill debate. She highlighted that the new bill aims to simplify tax language and compliance without raising rates. The Narendra Modi government, she said, is committed to modernising outdated tax laws to match today's economy. Despite prior agreement to a 16-hour debate, Opposition MPs staged protests over unrelated issues, forcing a quick passage of the bill in the Rajya Sabha by voice vote. The clash has sparked a political storm, with governance and tax reform caught in the crossfire.#nirmalasitharaman #incometaxbill2025 #parliament #oppositionwalkout #taxreform #modigovernment #rajyasabha #loksabha #indianpolitics #taxlaws #breakingnews #trending #trendingnow #toi #bharat #toibharat #indianews

Parliament panel flags nearly 10 lakh teaching vacancies in schools, asks to stop contractual hiring
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports, chaired by Congress Rajya Sabha MP Digvijay Singh, presented its 368th report titled Review of Functioning of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and Initiatives Taken to Support Training of Teachers in Light of NEP 2020's Thrust on Capacity Building of Teachers. The report was tabled in the Lok Sabha 5 August and in the Rajya Sabha 8 August. The panel has recommended that vacancies in central government-run schools be filled with permanent appointees by 31 March 2026, and also called for firm action against states that fail to comply with the Centre's directives on filling these posts. New Delhi: A parliamentary panel has said there are about 10 lakh teaching vacancies in the school education system across the country, including in central institutions like Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs), as well as those run by state governments. According to the report, based on data submitted by the Union Ministry of Education, around 10 lakh teaching posts in the school education system are currently vacant across the country. The report states that in the academic year 2023–24, there were 63,26,207 sanctioned teaching posts at primary and secondary levels, out of which 9,59,148 remained vacant. In 2024–25, the number of sanctioned posts increased to 69,85,760, but the number of vacancies also rose to 9,82,662 The committee raised serious concerns over the high number of vacancies in JNVs and KVs, calling the situation 'alarming'. 'There are overall 30 to 50% vacancies in KVs and NVs also and contractual appointments of teachers are being done in spite of repeated recommendation of the Committee to fill-up the vacancies,' the report stated. The committee directed the Department of School Education and Literacy to appoint regular/permanent teachers in centrally administered schools no later than 31 March 2026, and to update the committee on the progress. The committee also urged the Department of School Education and Literacy to take a firm stand on the issue of vacancies in schools funded under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)—which covers almost all state government-run schools. 'Teachers' salary component of SSA funds of those states which do not comply with the directions of the Department (of school education) to fill up the vacancies with regular/permanent teachers, should be kept in abeyance till the respective States comply with the directives of the Central Government,' the committee recommended.

It further recommended the ministry take up the issue of contractual teacher appointments with state governments as well. Meanwhile, the committee has recommended against the National Council for Teacher Education's (NCTE) plan to discontinue the Bachelor of Elementary Education ( programme—a four-year specialised degree designed to prepare teachers for the elementary level. 'B. El. Ed is a specialized four-year degree with focus on elementary education pedagogy, a crucial developmental stage for children, and its discontinuation based on factors like the number of institutions or structural alignment is a short-sighted approach that risks dismantling a proven program instead of strengthening and expanding it to meet the demand for qualified elementary teachers across the country,' the committee stated. Earlier this year, the NCTE issued draft regulations proposing the discontinuation of the programme from the 2026–27 academic session. The four-year course, launched in 1994–95, is intended to prepare teachers for Classes 1 to 8. Under the new policy direction, institutions currently offering will need to transition to the Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Govt to decriminalise 1,000 minor offences, overhaul IP regime
New Delhi: The government will identify 1,000 provisions penalising minor offences within the next 45 days for decriminalisation, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday. He also invited stakeholder inputs for a review of various laws governing intellectual property (IP) to simplify and make them more user-friendly. Based on the feedback, the government may amend existing laws or introduce new ones, as was done with the new Income Tax Bill.

"We are focused on data exclusivity, but without evergreening creeping into our system," Goyal told IP stakeholders, warning that patent evergreening could result in costly medicines and invite retaliatory taxes from other countries. Goyal described data exclusivity as the "last missing link" before India could attract significant R&D inflows. He noted that two of the most dissatisfied stakeholders with India's patent laws - Switzerland and the UK - have already completed an IP chapter with India in ongoing trade negotiations. Live Events

Insolvency resolution timeline shrinks by 2 months since March
Representative image (PTI photo) NEW DELHI: The number of days taken for finalisation of the insolvency resolution plan has dropped from 752 days at the end of the March quarter to 694 days at the end of June, but remains significantly higher than the prescribed 180 days, which can be extended by another 90. According to the latest numbers released by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India, 78% of the resolution plans have been ongoing for more than 270 days, indicating the extent of delay in the process that was meant to ensure strict timelines so that creditors can realise maximum value from the assets. But, litigation in multiple forums as well as limited capacity in the National Company Law Tribunal have resulted in enormous delays. The average time taken for resolution of 1,258 corporate insolvency cases was estimated at 602 days at the end of June. The data also showed that during the June quarter, number of pending cases has once again gone up to 1,905 from 1,884 in Jan-March - pointing to the delays. On Tuesday, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman moved amendments to the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), proposing multiple amendments to the eight-year-old law to speed up resolution and effectiveness of the framework. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Official data pointed out that it takes more than 400 days to just admit the cases - against 14 provided under the law. Despite the delays, lenders and other creditors find IBC an effective tool to get defaulters to pay up or lose control of their companies. The June quarter also saw an important change with the cases initiated by financial creditors (lenders or homebuyers) outnumbering those by operational creditors. At the end of June, of the 8,492 cases initiated, 4,002 were initiated by financial creditors, while 3,963 were by operational creditors. At the end of March, of the 8,308 cases filed, 3,893 were by financial creditors - six less than operational creditors. For operational creditors, especially suppliers, IBC often helped recover their dues, reflected in the high number of withdrawals. More than half the cases filed by them were closed on appeal review or withdrawal and these closures amounted to 68% of the overall closures. Besides, till June, resolved cases resulted in realisation of 32.5% of the admitted claims, which was marginally higher at 33.7% for large cases (those with admitted claims of over Rs 1,000 crore).
