The late Ratan Tata's will includes only one non-family member, Mohini Mohan Dutta, as a beneficiary. Dutta was a former director of the Taj Hotels Group, will get around Rs 588 crores as per the terms of the will. After initially rejecting the conditions, Dutta has now accepted it, claims media report. This will lead to the speedy execution process of the will. Ratan Tata's Will
Ratan Tata's will has assets worth Rs 3,900 crores, has 24 beneficiaries, including his step-sisters Dina Jijibhoy and Shireen Jijibhoy. Mohini Mohan Dutta is the only individual outside Tata's family to be named in the will.
As per the will, Dutta is entitled to one-third of Ratan Tata's estate, valued at around Rs 1,764 crores. This estate includes bank deposits, foreign currency notes, valuable crystals, and artifacts. Dutta's Role In Ratan Tata's life
Dutta is now 77 years old, had questioned the valuation of the estate initially but later on agreed to the terms. With this, he will inherit Rs 588 crores, along with over one lakh shares in Tata Capital, currently valued at more than Rs 10 crores.
Dutta's association with Ratan Tata is since they met in Jamshedpur. Tata was 25 years old, and Dutta was just 13. Tata later invited him to Mumbai and helped him to establish a travel agency with financial support. This agency eventually merged with Tata Capitals and managed operations for the Taj Hotels Group.
Dutta was a director at the Taj Hotels Group until 2019, after which the travel agency was sold to Thomas Cook.
Apart from Dutta, Tata's step-sisters Dina Jijibhoy and Shireen Jijibhoy are also major beneficiaries, inheriting two-thirds of the estate. They are also the executors of the will. The will excludes fixed assets and shares and focuses mainly on liquid and tangible assets. Court's Role In Process
When Dutta had refused to accept the will's terms, other beneficiaries went to the court. The court issued summons to all involved parties to present their views. The will contains a clause that disqualifies any beneficiary who challenges it from receiving any benefits. After Dutta's acceptance of the terms, the implementation of the will has become possible.
Dutta's Rs 588 crore inheritance will not be subject to taxes, as per Indian law.

A tightrope walk as debt burden weighs
Vijayawada: It has been a tightrope walk for the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led National Democratic Alliance government in Andhra Pradesh, which is completing one year in office on Thursday (today), and its Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu. Though the government under the leadership of Naidu initiated a slew of measures to boost economic growth and implemented welfare schemes, it had to work against all odds given the debt burden that weighed on the State. Naidu, who assumed charge as of AP Chief Minister for the fourth time on June 12, 2024, frequently said he started off with a millstone around his neck. He pointed out that the previous government had pushed the state back by 30 years, burdening it with Rs 10 lakh crore in debts and another Rs 1.2 lakh crore in unpaid bills. 'The annual interest alone stands at Rs 40,000 crore,' he remarked when the NDA government assumed office. Looking back, the Chief Minister said recently: 'Brick by brick, we are rebuilding the devastated state and in just one year, we have shown what good governance looks like by giving priority to both welfare and development.' Minister for Information and Public Relations K Parthasarathi told Hans India that the one-year period of the NDA government focused on both welfare and development. He said both Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh aimed at wealth creation and uplift of the poor, simultaneously implementing welfare schemes. He said the coalition government had laid a solid foundation for the benefit of future generations. To begin with, the NDA government enhanced the old age pension to Rs 4,000 per month. Apart from that, it has been distributing pension amounts of Rs 6,000, Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000 to various categories of people including physically challenged. The state government is spending a whopping Rs 33,000 crore a year on pensions to 64 lakh people. No other state government pays such high pension amounts in the country. In addition, under Deepam 2, the NDA government is giving three free LPG cylinders per year to women. Besides, the state government revived 73 central schemes, though the previous government had diverted central funds, resulting in AP being blacklisted. The NDA government is now planning to provide free solar rooftops to 20 lakh SC/ST houses under PM Surya Ghar Yojana. Upon taking office, the NDA govt repealed the Land Titling Act that had removed protection for people's lands and introduced a new Anti-Land Grabbing Act. With the Centre's support, the state government put the much-awaited Polavaram Project back on track. The project will now be completed by December 2027.

‘Shame On You': Sabeer Bhatia's Critical Remarks On Indian Economy Leave Internet Furious
Last Updated: The Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Indian-American entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia has stirred controversy once again, following a series of critical remarks about the Indian economy. Just days after questioning the country's GDP claims, the Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Posting on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Bhatia stated that Indians should feel ashamed of the nation's low average income levels, despite the population reaching 1.4 billion. His remarks sparked widespread backlash, with many users flooding the comment section to criticise and challenge his statements. 'Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day, you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you," Bhatia wrote on X. Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day, you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you.— Sabeer Bhatia (@sabeer) June 10, 2025 In response to Bhatia's post, many slammed him for gaining attention through the comments and not making any real contribution. The business was also engaged with a few critics, offering further insights. As one wrote, 'Why are you bragging about being the world's No. 1 economy with $36–37 trillion in debt? You're entirely dependent on a migrant population, conducting coups in other countries, and stealing their gold and oil resources. There is massive overvaluation of companies and many other things," to which Bhatia replied, 'Nobody is bragging. Show me one place where the US is bragging (except in your head). You've been fed the wrong story." A comment read, 'Sabeer, you may have your own ideas. Why don't you come to India, contest elections, win them, implement your agenda, and show the results? That would be better than sitting in an ivory tower and passing judgments." This is not the first time that Bhatia's comments on India have irked the internet. Earlier in May, the businessman shared a video criticising the country's economic growth. 'We overtook Japan in GDP… but can you feel it in your pocket? Growth without distribution is merely inflation in disguise," he wrote in the caption.

Among those who pushed back was former Infosys director Mohandas Pai, who openly challenged Bhatia's claims. This sparked a heated exchange between the two. First Published:
