‘Har Ghar Tiranga'awakening patrioticfervour, says Yogi
Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday described the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign as a nationwide movement to awaken patriotic spirit, not just a symbolic act of flag hoisting. Addressing the BJP 's organisational meeting at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, the CM said, "This is the fourth consecutive year of the campaign under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guidance, and it has become a powerful expression of national consciousness. " Calling upon party workers to join the campaign by hoisting the national flag at their homes and encouraging others to do the same, the CM said that promoting indigenous products through ODOP scheme alongside this initiative would help build an economically self-reliant India and counter external pressures. Lashing out at the Congress and opposition parties, he said that the truth in the Malegaon case had exposed conspiracies against Hindu beliefs. Criticising the opposition for spreading misinformation around 'Operation Sindoor', he accused them of shielding anti-national forces. On the voter list revision drive, Yogi said it was not merely an administrative task but a political responsibility. He urged BJP workers to ensure no eligible voter was left out. State BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary called 'Har Ghar Tiranga' a reflection of national pride and civic responsibility inspired by PM Modi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

UPI data: GST Council may grant amnesty to small vendors, says central tax commissioner
Bengaluru: The GST Council could consider granting amnesty from interest and penalties to small vendors who have been issued tax notices based on UPI transaction data, according to Kotraswamy M, commissioner of central taxes. "If this issue is being flagged because there are so many taxpayers, the GST Council can take a call, giving amnesty to them from interest and penalty. So, there is a solution rather than making it a political issue," he said at an awareness and grievance redressal seminar organised by Rotary Bangalore, JP Nagar. The official's statement comes after chief minister Siddaramaiah's assurance that only traders with a turnover exceeding Rs 40 lakh on goods would be scrutinised, and old dues will not be enforced if vendors register for GST going forward. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Kotraswamy acknowledged discomfort and confusion caused by the GST notices among small business owners, attributing it to a lack of digital literacy and awareness. "Maybe their digital education is not adequate, they are not aware and feel that something bad has happened," he said, adding that once they know what they are supposed to do, they will find nothing wrong with the notices. The tax official also emphasised the importance of understanding legal requirements for businesses. "The transactions are captured in some way - digitally or through banking transactions, UPI or whatever. If somebody provided services with an annual turnover of more than Rs 20 lakh, or goods worth more than Rs 40 lakh, they are supposed to register themselves," he explained. Amrita Ranjan, principal commissioner of income tax, Bengaluru, confirmed that the department will continue to identify cases of tax violations. "... When the code works, it will work on a threshold and we will identify the cases," she added. BOX: What rules say It is mandatory for businesses with annual sales of Rs 40 lakh or more for supply of goods, and Rs 20 lakh or more for the supply of services, to register for GST. The Union govt also made it clear that it is not planning to levy GST on UPI transactions exceeding Rs 2,000, the finance ministry clarified in the Rajya Sabha last week after confusion caused by notices issued based on UPI data.
