Hefty fees by PSIEC have halted pre-1992 plot deals, rues industry
Ludhiana: Transfers of industrial land under Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation (PSIEC) policy impose a hefty "unearned profit" charge on plots allotted before 1992. The policy mandates a payment of Rs 7,500 per sq yard, up from the older and far lower rates, whenever these plots change hands. The revision, introduced under PSIEC's changed transfer framework, continues to stall transfer of plots. Industry stalwarts say it effectively blocks legitimate sales and transfers. PSIEC had revised the fee schedule, which was ostensibly introduced to capture the "unearned increase" in land values over decades, aiming to curb speculative transfers. However, local business associations argue that the blanket Rs 7,500/sq yard charge, roughly 16 times the older rate, has been burdensome deterring genuine transfers. Industrial plot sales across Punjab have essentially screeched to a halt, with investors freezing activity amid uncertainty. Stakeholders demand a return to a sustainable, graduated fee structure consistent with past norms and economic realities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Industrialists say the policy threatens MSMEs of the city's core industries, many of whom require smooth transfers for growth, exit planning, or family succession. As most of the focal points, except those under Phase VIII, are of the pre-1992 era, it is affecting most of them. Rahul Ahuja, former CII Punjab chairman and convener of the Apex Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Punjab, said, "This move has virtually stalled all transactions. It must be rolled back to the previous structure, if not something better." Ashpreet Sahni, former chairman of CII Ludhiana, called for a complete withdrawal. "The unearned profit policy must be withdrawn and replaced with a transparent, rational, industry-friendly approach. It was being said that the matter would be looked into and resolved after elections. Hopefully, it will be done now," he said. They said the transfer fees in the 1990s were as low as Rs 450 per sq yard compared to the current demands highlighting the sharp increase. The industry is optimistic that an urgent policy correction would be brought in, now that Sanjeev Arora is Punjab's new industries minister.

Trump says tariffs set to rise as high as 70%: White House to begin sending notices to countries; businesses await announcements
US President Donald Trump (AP) US President Donald Trump said on Friday morning that he plans to bring back a set of tariffs he first put in place in April. He had paused them for 90 days to try and make deals with different countries, but most of those deals haven't materialised yet. Now, US businesses don't know what tariffs they'll have to pay on many imported goods. Some of the new tariffs might be even higher than the original ones. Trump spoke briefly to reporters at Andrews Air Force Base after returning from a rally in Iowa on Thursday. 'So we're going to start sending letters out to various countries starting tomorrow,' he said, just hours after the House passed a major domestic policy bill. 'They'll range in value from maybe 60 or 70 per cent tariffs to 10 and 20 percent tariffs.' He added his administration would keep sending more letters to countries each day until the 90-day pause ends on Wednesday. By then, he expects all the countries to be included. He added that smaller countries would be contacted last, and the US would start collecting the tariffs on August 1. 'It's a lot of money for the country, but we're giving them a bargain,' Trump said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3, 3.5 BHK & Duplexes at Lodha Elanor Thane Lodha Elanor Get Deals Undo 'We've done the final form, and it's basically going to explain what the countries are going to be paying in tariffs.' The original set of 'reciprocal' tariffs was placed on US trading partners and ranged from 11 per cent for the Democratic Republic of the Congo to 50 per cent for Lesotho. These tariffs were calculated using a formula based on how much each country buys from the US, even if the country was very small and didn't trade much. These reciprocal tariffs were in addition to a 10 per cent 'baseline' tariff that applied to all countries. A few days later, after the bond market reacted strongly to fears that global trade could come to a halt, President Trump changed his mind. The tariffs were lowered to 10 per cent for all countries, except China, which had its base tariff raised to 145 per cent. Since then, countries have been rushing to make deals with the White House to bring more stability to their trade ties with the US. China reached a temporary deal that brought its tariff down to 30 per cent. Britain made an agreement in early May to keep its duties at 10 per cent. And this week, Vietnam agreed to a plan that would set its tariffs at 20 per cent, along with higher taxes on Chinese goods passing through the country. However, talks with other countries, including Japan, Malaysia, India, and the European Union, haven't led to much progress yet. Some of whom Trump has called out for what he calls 'driving too hard of a bargain', including the European Union and Japan. On Thursday, treasury secretary Scott Bessent said he thought about 100 countries would probably end up with at least a 10 per cent tariff rate, but more deals are still being worked out. "I think we're going to see a lot of action over the coming days,' he said. Last week, Bessent mentioned that some of the talks could continue until September 1.

Shocking tariff list: Trump to hit these countries with 70% duties — even longtime US allies aren't spared
US president Donald Trump is preparing to impose steep new tariffs on some of America's biggest trade partners and even close allies may not escape the blow, as per a report. With just a few days left for his three-month deadline to strike new trade deals, the White House is set to send letters to around a dozen countries outlining their new tariff rates, which could be as high as 70%, according to a CNN report. Donald Trump to Roll Out Steep New Tariffs While Trump spoke to reporters early Friday at Joint Base Andrews, he said that the White House would begin sening the letters with new tariffs to notify 10 to 12 nations a day in the next five days and also added that most new tariffs would take effect on August 1, as per the CNN report.

Back in April, Trump gave countries three months to negotiate new deals or face what he called 'reciprocal' tariffs, essentially matching the tariffs those countries place on US goods, according to the CNN report. At the time, he imposed tariffs up to 50%, but this new round is set to go even higher, and markets are already reacting, as per the report. US stocks and bonds were closed for the Fourth of July holiday, but futures and global markets dropped after Trump's comments, as reported by CNN.

Trump didn't name the countries receiving the letters, but he has previously criticized key trading partners like the European Union and Japan for taking advantage of the United States, according to the report. In fact, earlier this week, Trump threatened to hit Japan with tariffs as high as 35%, though it's unclear if that was just negotiating tactic, as per the CNN report. When he was asked on Friday if any countries would be given more time to negotiate, Trump seemed to shut that option, saying, 'Not really,' and pointed out that, 'They'll start to pay on August 1. The money will start to come into the United States on August 1, in pretty much all cases,' as quoted in the report.

The full list isn't public yet, but Trump has hinted at Japan and the EU, as per the CNN report.
