Minister Thangam Thennarasu urges protection of States' revenue in GST reforms

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu on Wednesday welcomed the proposed reforms in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system but stressed that the financial resources of States should be taken into account while implementing them. Participating in the meeting of the Groups of Ministers set up by the GST Council on Compensation Cess, Health and Life Insurance, and Rate Rationalisation in New Delhi, Mr. Thennarasu said States like Tamil Nadu have been implementing major infrastructure and welfare schemes, and tax reforms should not curtail the expenditure required for these programmes. An official press release said, he demanded an extension of the Compensation Cess to offset potential revenue losses to the States arising from rate rationalisation. He also emphasised on safeguarding the financial interests of the States and assured that the Tamil Nadu government would extend cooperation with respect to rationalisation of GST.

RBI to conduct overnight VRR auction to infuse Rs 50,000 cr amid GST flows

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plans to conduct an overnight variable rate repo (VRR) auction to infuse Rs 50,000 crore into the banking system. Market participants said the move is aimed at easing liquidity tightness amid tax payments. 'They (RBI) want to avoid tightness amid GST outflows. The VRRR amount is maturing on Friday, while GST payments ended today (Wednesday), so they want to avoid a liquidity crunch for a day,' said Gaura Sen Gupta, chief economist, IDFC FIRST Bank. Net liquidity in the banking system was in a surplus of Rs 2.98 trillion on Tuesday, according to the latest RBI data. The RBI had conducted two variable rate repo auctions in July when overnight rates were trading near the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate. The weighted average call rate (WACR), the operating target of monetary policy, settled at 5.47 per cent on Wednesday, against 5.43 per cent in the previous session. The RBI had received bids worth Rs 1.82 trillion against the notified amount of Rs 2 trillion at its eight-day variable rate reverse repo (VRRR) auction on August 14, as banks rolled over the maturing amount from earlier VRRR auctions conducted on August 8 and August 11. The central bank had accepted the bids at a cut-off rate of 5.49 per cent. The RBI's VRRR operations are intended to absorb surplus liquidity from the financial system and anchor short-term money market rates closer to the policy repo rate. The MSF rate, set 25 basis points (bps) above the policy repo rate, is the ceiling of the liquidity adjustment facility corridor. The standing deposit facility (SDF), which is 25 bps below the repo rate, is the floor. The policy repo rate is currently at 5.5 per cent.

It looks like the more we are pressurised, the more opportunities we find to expand our partnership in all areas, including energy,' he to questions on whether the oil trade could be disrupted, Babushkin expressed confidence that both nations would adapt.

Even if small disruptions take place, we will definitely find ways to overcome them,' he defence cooperation, Babushkin highlighted the effectiveness of Operation Sindoor, pointing to the role of Russian systems such as the S-400 missile defence platform and the jointly produced BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. 'It is a development of choice for the Indian Army, and we hope this cooperation will continue,' he ahead, he stressed that the defence partnership is not limited to hardware purchases but involves technology sharing, joint production, and continuous upgrades. 'When it comes to jet engines and other systems, we work together, localise production, and keep scope for improvements. We are very optimistic in this regard as well,' he remarks come as preparations intensify for the annual India-Russia summit, with Moscow signaling that the strategic partnership remains resilient and future-focused despite global headwinds.- Ends
