1 crore lies dormant as govt sits on prepaid auto policy
1 2 Jaipur: The state govt has delayed implementing a policy for pre-paid auto-rickshaw stands for nearly five years. As a result, a nationalised bank in Jaipur has declared the account—meant for managing these stands—dormant due to lack of transactions over an extended period. According to members of auto-rickshaw associations, the account holds around Rs1 crore, collected as a Rs2 service charge from commuters at pre-paid stands. The amount was meant to serve as a benevolent fund for auto drivers and their families but remains untouched in the absence of a clear policy. "It was the Congress govt who introduced the pre-paid auto rickshaw stands in the city way back in 1999, but suddenly, after 21 years, the Congress govt again closed these pre-paid booths, citing there is no pre-paid booth policy in the state. Since then, this bank account is lying unused and was declared dormant by the bank," said Kuldeep Singh, president of an auto rickshaw association in Jaipur. The account was opened in 1999 with the Chaura Rasta branch of a nationalised bank. Two representatives of the transport department and two representatives of the two auto rickshaw associations were the signatories. An old-timer recalled that in 1999, the Congress govt started these pre-paid booths with three aims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo First, to ensure that the passengers, especially at the railway station, airport, and Sindhi Camp bus stands, need not bargain with the drivers and can pay govt-approved fare at these booths. Second, to keep a record of the drivers and the passengers along with the items they are carrying with them for security reasons. Third, to utilise the service charge accumulated from these booths for the welfare of the auto drivers and their families. "The fare at these pre-paid booths was on par with the metered fare. Passengers needed to pay a service charge of Rs 2 for pre-paid autos, and this charge remained the same till these booths were withdrawn. For 21 years, a service charge amounting to more than Rs 80 lakhs was collected and deposited in the bank account. We did not utilise a single penny in the 21 years, and now the account has been declared dormant," stated Umrao Quershi, the President of the second auto rickshaw union in Jaipur.

MSRDC to complete land acquisition for key infra projects by year-end
Pune: The state govt will disburse Rs17,000 crore to acquire land linked to major infrastructure projects being implemented by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) On Thursday, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis held a high-level meeting with senior bureaucrats and MSRDC officials. He directed them to expedite land acquisition across multiple big-ticket projects and ensure no delays occur because of administrative bottlenecks. Nine critical MSRDC-led projects — including expressways and multimodal corridors — were reviewed. The govt aims to complete all land acquisition for listed projects by the end of the year, paving the way for timely execution and seamless infrastructure development across the state. Vice-chairman and managing director of MSRDC Anilkumar Gaikwad told TOI that land acquisition for the Pune Ring Road and the Jalna–Nanded expressway is nearing completion. "For the remaining projects — such as the multimodal Virar–Alibaug expressway, the Shaktipeeth expressway, three major roads in Vidarbha and the Navgaon–Morgaon and Vadhwan–Samruddhi connectors — land measurement is underway. All this is part of the acquisition process," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Everybody Is Switching To This Enterprise Accounting Software [Take a Look] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo Gaikwad said the state govt has approved Rs36,000 crore to acquire land and the additional Rs17,000 crore will be cleared in phases as the process progresses. "The CM has made it clear that acquisition delays will escalate project costs and should be avoided," he said. Of the Rs36,000 crore approved — Rs 9,000 crore is allocated to the Pune Ring Road, Rs2,140 crore to Jalna–Nanded expressway and Rs22,000 crore to the Virar–Alibaug multimodal corridor. The CM also stressed the importance of determining the implementation model — whether via Public-Private Partnership or Build-Operate-Transfer — once land acquisition is complete. Land measurement for Shaktipeeth expressway is complete in 86 of the 300 villages involved, with joint measurement expected to finish by Aug. The expressway, dubbed the Golden Triangle, will connect key religious and economic zones across Nagpur, Mumbai and Goa. "It will enhance north-to-east connectivity and function as a pilgrim circuit," said a senior MSRDC official. Fadnavis directed that the Shaktipeeth expressway plan be finalised with minimal impact on forest land. He instructed the finance department to release Rs12,000 crore for land acquisition and ordered the forest department to begin the process of obtaining necessary clearances — particularly for the ecologically sensitive Morbe to Karanja section of the Virar–Alibaug corridor — without delaying parallel administrative work. The CM said the Vadhwan–Igatpuri expressway plan should be finalised. In Vidarbha, plans for the Bhandara–Gadchiroli, Nagpur–Chandrapur and Nagpur–Gondiya expressways are to be finalised on priority. Other key infrastructure projects discussed included the Navegaon (Mor)–Surjagad mineral corridor, as well as the Wardha–Nanded and Vadsa–Gadchiroli railway projects. The meeting also reviewed land acquisition for proposed airports at Kolhapur, Karad, Akola, Gadchiroli and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Fadnavis said, "Agencies must work on mission mode. Land acquisition should begin immediately and officials must follow the defined timelines strictly."

Think you're exempt from filing ITR? Your lifestyle may say otherwise
Many taxpayers believe that if their annual income falls below the basic exemption threshold, they are off the hook when it comes to filing their Income Tax Return (ITR). But as Ashish Singhal, co-founder of CoinSwitch and Lemonn, highlighted in a LinkedIn post that tax compliance is not just about how much you earn, it's also about how you spend.'You thought Income Tax Return was about income? That's cute,' Singhal said. Drawing attention to a lesser-known aspect of India's income tax rules, he explained that even those reporting zero taxable income on paper may still be required to file an ITR based on their lifestyle and financial activities. advertisementThe thresholds are surprisingly easy to cross, indicated Singhal. A foreign vacation that costs more than Rs 2 lakh, an electricity bill exceeding Rs 1 lakh in a year, or large deposits in a bank account, even without formal income, can all trigger the need to file a return. The logic, Singhal pointed out, is simple: if you're spending like someone with taxable income, the tax department wants a closer look. His post also serves as a timely reminder as the ITR deadline for FY25 (AY 2025-26) approaches. The deadline for filing ITR was recently extended to September also warned that many people inadvertently meet one or more of these criteria without realising it, especially professionals and freelancers who may not fit into traditional salaried brackets. 'So check your slips,' he wrote, 'and don't let lifestyle trip up your compliance.'Trending Reel
