The Centre is mulling imposing stock limits on onion traders as the retail prices of the key kitchen staple have shot up to Rs.70-80 per kg in the national capital and other parts of the country owing to supply disruption in the wake of excess monsoon rains in the major growing states, according to sources. As per the data maintained by the consumer affairs ministry, retail onion prices rose to Rs.57/kg in Delhi, Rs.56/kg in Mumbai, Rs.48/kg in Kolkata and Rs.34/kg in Chennai last week. The prices were quoted at Rs.60/kg in Gurgoan and Jammu during the same period. However, trade data showed retail onion prices skyrocketing to Rs.70-80 per kg towards the end of the last week from Rs.50-60/kg in the previous week. Onion prices are on the rise despite several measures taken by the central government to boost supply. (BL).
The reduction in corporate tax announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday could help the top 1,000 listed companies in the country save at least Rs.37,000 crore this fiscal year. Segments linked to the consumer will benefit the most given higher effective tax rates of over 30 per cent. Export-linked sectors such as IT and pharma, on the other hand, will benefit the least, accounting for only 5-6 per cent of potential savings. That’s because they already enjoy low effective tax rates. According to an analysis by CRISIL Research, over 25,000 companies made profits in FY18, and they accounted for nearly 60 per cent of the tax paid by India Inc. Of this 1,074 companies with revenues of Rs.1,000 crore or more had the highest effective tax rate of 27 per cent, and they accounted for nearly 40 per cent of the total corporate tax revenue, and nearly 80 per cent of the tax collected. Nearly 1,360 companies with revenues of Rs.400-1,000 crore had an effective tax rate of 24 per cent, while the large majority (about 24,000) with less than Rs.400 crore in revenues had an effective tax rate of 25.4 per cent.
