SC says, \u2018Not singing Vande Mataram for religious reasons isn’t crime\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to examine whether refusing to sing Vande Mataram can attract criminal action. The bench, headed by CJI Surya Kant, however, declined to decide whether the national song should be restricted to its first two stanzas or all six.<\/p>\n

The court also observed that a person who does not sing the song for religious reasons should not face criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n

The hearing followed a petition by singer TM Krishna challenging provisions that make deliberately stopping or disrupting the singing of Vande Mataram a punishable offence. The amendment bringing the national song received the President\u2019s assent on August 6. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

Govt clarifies GST on UPI transactions will be refunded to shopkeepers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

A recent clarification from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has shed light on how GST will work if merchants are charged MDR on large UPI payments.<\/p>\n

Under the proposed framework, shopkeepers making person-to-merchant (P2M) UPI transactions above \u20b92,000 may have to pay GST on the MDR charged by payment providers, but that amount would not necessarily become an additional cost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

A merchant receiving a \u20b910,000 UPI payment would pay \u20b940 as MDR and \u20b97.20 as GST on that charge. However, NPCI indicated that the GST component can be claimed as input tax credit and adjusted against the merchant\u2019s overall GST liability. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n
