States to spend Rs 1 lakh cr on pre-poll sops to women in FY26: Report
Top 18 states will spend Rs 1 lakh crore on pre-poll sops to women this fiscal, Crisil Ratings said on Thursday. States' spending on social sector schemes will be at an elevated 2 per cent of GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) in FY26 and is likely to impact capital expenditure, it added. The social sector spends used to be in the range of 1.4-1.6 per cent of GSDP between fiscals 2019 and 2024, and climbed up to 2 per cent last fiscal, the rating agency said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Vietnam (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now "This fiscal (FY26), the elevated spending will result in high revenue deficit, thereby limiting the flexibility of the states to undertake higher capital outlays," the agency said. The analysis includes 18 top states accounting for over 90 per cent of aggregate GSDP of all states, and added that social sector spends includes revenue expenditure for welfare of backward classes, women, children and labour, as well as assistance to certain demographics in the form of social security pensions. Live Events Its senior director Anuj Sethi said the overall expenditure across states will come at Rs 2.3 lakh crore, and of this, Rs 1 lakh crore is towards direct benefit transfers (DBT) to women primarily as "election commitments". It may be recalled that concerns were raised about the impact of the pre-poll sops to women, and with the electoral success of such schemes, a larger number of governments were feared to announce similar measures. Crisil said such tendencies will make this a key monitorable factor going ahead. "Over the past few years, several key states that have gone to the polls have introduced or increased allocations to DBT schemes. With upcoming elections in...(some) states, a rise in DBT, as part of election commitments, is possible and remains a key monitorable," it said. The agency said the increase in social welfare expenses over FY25 and FY26 is not estimated to be uniform across the states, with half of the analysed states expected to see a significant surge in these expenses, while the remaining are likely to see these spending at relatively stable levels or see a modest increase. While the social welfare expenses are inching up significantly, there is a wide gap between the rise in revenue expenditure and revenue receipts for the states over the two fiscal, it added. The overall revenue expenditure is budgeted to log a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13-14 per cent between fiscals 2025 and 2026, while revenue receipts grew a slower 6.6 per cent year-on-year (YoY) last fiscal and are expected to increase 6-8 per cent YoY this fiscal. Its director Aditya Jhaver explained that a rise in revenue deficit normally results in state governments reducing capital outlay to maintain their fiscal stability. Last fiscal, capital outlay grew a meagre 6 per cent on-year (as against a CAGR of 11 per cent over 5 years ended fiscal 2024) as revenue deficit ballooned almost 90 per cent on-year, he said. "If this trend continues this fiscal, it could constrain states' capital outlay, which has a higher multiplier effect and can stimulate increased investment in the economy," Jhaver said.

Your in-hand salary lower than what was offered in CTC? CA shares tips to help you avoid this situation
Chartered Accountant Abhishek Walia recently shared tips on social media for freshers and experienced professionals, cautioning those who celebrate offer letters without realising the challenges that follow months later. "Because the real paycheck isn't what's written in your offer - it's what you keep, grow, and protect," said the CA in a post on LinkedIn Check full post here Your CTC is lying to you! Every year, lakhs of freshers and experienced professionals celebrate offer letters with eye-popping CTCs. But a few months in, reality hits: 'Why is my in-hand salary so low?' 'Where did half of my CTC go?' 'Should I be doing something about these deductions?' Here's the truth: CTC ≠ Take-Home Pay Let's break it down: - Gratuity – Locked till 5 years. Not yours yet. - Employer PF – Yours, but not liquid. Think long-term savings. - Performance Bonus – Not guaranteed. Subjective, delayed. - ESOPs – May sound glamorous, but only valuable if exercised + liquid. - Insurance Premiums – Paid on your behalf, but no cash value in hand. So what's actually yours each month? Your net pay after deductions. Yet most people plan their lifestyle expenses based on CTC - which is a trap. So, here's what you should actually do: ✅ Understand your payslip. Not just the top line, but every component. ✅ Track net income, not gross. That's your real capacity to spend/invest. ✅ Build buffers for performance bonuses and variable components - treat them as bonuses, not baselines. ✅ Ask the right questions before accepting an offer: 'What's the fixed pay? What's variable? What's the vesting period for ESOPs?' Because the real paycheck isn't what's written in your offer - it's what you keep, grow, and protect. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unbelievable: Calculator Shows The Value Of Your House Instantly (Take a Look) Home Value Calculator Search Now Undo What did people say?

Microsoft sued by authors for allegedly using pirated books to train AI model
A group of prominent authors, including Pulitzer Prize winner Kai Bird and New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino, has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft, accusing the tech giant of illegally using pirated versions of their books to train its AI model known as 'Megatron. ' Filed in a New York federal court on June 25, the suit claims that Microsoft copied nearly 200,000 copyrighted works without permission to develop AI systems that mimic the authors' unique writing styles, themes, and voices. This marks another major legal challenge in the growing debate over AI training and copyright law. Authors accuse Microsoft of copyright infringement The plaintiffs allege that Microsoft used a massive dataset of pirated digital books to train Megatron, a generative AI model designed to produce human-like text. According to the complaint, the AI's ability to replicate the tone, syntax, and narrative patterns of copyrighted works demonstrates a clear violation of intellectual property rights. The authors argue that their creative output was exploited to build a product that competes with them in the marketplace, without their consent or compensation. Lawsuit demands damages and a court injunction The writers are seeking statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work, along with a court order to block Microsoft from continuing its alleged unauthorised use of their materials. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo While the exact number of infringed titles remains unclear, the plaintiffs claim that thousands of authors' works may have been used without licence or attribution. The case could set a precedent for how courts handle AI training involving copyrighted content. Legal backdrop: A turning point in AI copyright battles This lawsuit comes just one day after a California judge ruled that AI firm Anthropic may have made 'fair use' of copyrighted material in training but could still be liable for using pirated versions of books. It was the first US decision to address the legality of using copyrighted texts in generative AI development. The Microsoft case adds further momentum to a wave of lawsuits from writers, artists, and media outlets challenging how their work is used by tech companies. Microsoft yet to respond publicly According to Reuters, Microsoft has not issued an official response to the allegations. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment when contacted by reporters. Meanwhile, legal observers say this case will be closely watched for its implications on the future of AI development and intellectual property rights. A growing challenge for the AI industry Tech firms including Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic have all faced similar legal scrutiny in recent time. The central argument from the companies is that using public data for AI training qualifies as 'fair use' under US copyright law. However, rights holders argue that this approach undermines creators' control and devalues their work. As AI models become increasingly sophisticated, courts should define clearer boundaries around what constitutes ethical and legal data usage.
