Pakistan Gives National Assembly Speaker, Senate Chairman Massive 500% Salary Hike: Report
Last Updated: In addition to the revised salary, both top parliamentary officials will receive a 50% temporary allowance, a report claimed. The Pakistani government significantly increased the monthly salaries of the National Assembly Speaker and Senate Chairman to ₹1.3 million, a sharp rise from the previous figure of ₹205,000, as per a report by Samaa TV. The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs issued the notification on May 29, but details of the raise surfaced publicly only on Friday, as per the report. In addition to the revised salary, both top parliamentary officials will receive a 50% temporary allowance, pushing their monthly compensation even higher. The new salary structure will be applied retrospectively from January 1, 2025, the report added. Salaries Of Pakistan's Government Officials Raised This pay hike comes amid a broader trend of increased remuneration for government officials. In March, salaries and allowances for federal ministers, ministers of state, and advisers were also raised- by as much as 188%- following an amendment to the Federal Ministers and Ministers of State (Allowances and Salaries) Act, 1975. After the revision, federal ministers now earn ₹519,000 per month, up from ₹200,000.

NGT slams UP govt over gaps in sewage, waste mgmt report
Agra: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has pulled up the Uttar Pradesh (UP) govt, citing several shortcomings in its report on the status of sewage treatment plants (STPs) and solid and liquid waste management across various districts of the state, including Agra. A three-member bench comprising chairperson Justice Prakash Shrivastava, Justice Sudhir Agarwal and expert member A Senthil Vel, in its order released on Saturday, has directed the state to address the deficiencies and submit a revised report in a prescribed format ahead of the next hearing on July 28. According to the green tribunal's six-page order, the state govt's report, dated April 16 and submitted on May 24, "failed to identify critical gaps and did not comply with the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, and relevant Supreme Court (SC) directives". "Against the disclosure of 95% waste processing capacity (19,014 tons per day), the actual segregated waste stands at only 74% (14,884 TPD). This discrepancy needs clarification," the order stated. It further noted that the report failed to explain the operation of waste processing plants lacking mandatory authorisation under the SWM Rules. The tribunal pointed out that while the report covered waste generation in 762 urban local bodies (ULBs), it did not specify the actual quantity of waste being processed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký It also questioned the claim of 100% remediation of legacy waste at 60 sites, stating that no supporting evidence had been provided. Legacy waste refers to solid waste that has been collected and left untreated for years in landfills or open grounds. "Figures indicate that 60 sites have been remediated and only 26 remain with legacy waste. However, since many ULBs still lack processing facilities, there must be specific disclosure of legacy waste in those areas," the order said. Additionally, the NGT noted the absence of details on the operational status of waste-to-energy plants. The NGT also raised concerns regarding discrepancies in the planning and distribution of STPs. It pointed out that while some cities like Agra, Bijnor, Anupshahar, Chitrakoot Karwi, Pilkhuva, Kannauj, and Bela Pratapgarh have STPs with excessive capacity relative to sewage generation, many others, including Bahraich, Banda, Deoria, Fatehpur, Gonda, Hathras, Sambhal and Bhadohi, do not have STPs at all. It also flagged anomalies such as the case of Garh Mukteshwar, which reports zero sewage generation but has two STPs. The court was hearing the matter in the context of a 2018 SC ruling in Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti & others vs. Union of India & others, which issued key directives for controlling river pollution and improving the treatment of industrial and domestic waste. The apex court had mandated municipalities to ensure functioning STPs and set deadlines for new STPs and common effluent treatment Plants (CETPs), while also allowing the UP govt to approach the NGT to seek modifications in the implementation timelines. The NGT was tasked with monitoring compliance.

Lack of clarity regarding GST on rents collected by the Coimbatore Corporation affects trade
Trade and industry in Coimbatore that have taken shops on rent in buildings owned by the Coimbatore Corporation face issues because of lack of clarity on GST paid for the rent. According to sources in the trade, those who have taken space on rent in the Corporation buildings pay the rent and 18% GST on the citizen web portal. They are bound to pay reverse charge tax to the GST department directly. According to the GST rules, for the services offered by the Central government, State government, Union Territory, or local body authority by way of renting out immovable property to a person registered under the CGST Act, those registered with the Act should pay the GST on reverse charge basis. Now, the trade or industry that has taken the space on rent is paying GST to the Corporation and to the GST Commissionerate. The Corporation should not raise demand for GST on rent, they said. A senior Corporation official said, 'GST on rent is collected from all tenants of our commercial complex, as this rental income is subject to GST, which we are required to pay. Therefore, we collect the GST and issue rent receipts to each tenant. The GST is managed through the UTIS (Urban Tree Information System) software. However, there remains some confusion between the Corporation and traders regarding GST, which needs to be resolved at the level of the Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) and the GST department heads.'
