New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) on Monday released two separate Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) reports for states and union territories and the various union ministries and departments.
DARPG released the 34th CPGRAMS Report of States/UTs and the 37th CPGRAMS report Central Ministries/Departments, showcasing success stories.
According to an official statement, in the 34th report, there was a grievance against Rajesh Choudhary about a delay in GST Registration for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME).
'Rajesh Choudhary faced repeated rejections of his GST registration application over a span of three months, despite having responded to all departmental queries. The delay caused financial losses to his MSME startup, as potential clients required a valid GST number to proceed with business transactions,' an official statement from the ministry said.
'He also raised concerns about the lack of transparency regarding the reasons for rejection. Seeking redressal, he filed a grievance on the CPGRAMS portal. Following this, the concerned officer reviewed the application, verified the details, and approved the GST registration. A GST number has now been issued, thereby resolving the grievance,' the statement added.
A grievance by one Pawan Rajput regarding Irregular Power Supply, stated, 'a resident of Rajendra Nagar, Bareilly, faced frequent power outages due to a faulty connection from the nearby electricity pole. This not only caused severe discomfort during the summer nights but also posed a risk to household appliances. Despite raising multiple complaints through the electricity helpline, the issues remained unresolved, and complaints were closed without action. Seeking resolution, he filed a grievance on the CPGRAMS portal. Upon review, the concerned authorities visited the site and rectified the faulty connection. The grievance was resolved within 15 days.'
A grievance by Faiz Mohammad Ayyub for Area Cleaning and Mosquito Control was also mentioned in the statement. 'A resident of Ainuddinpur, Kareli, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, raised a concern regarding stagnant rainwater around his house leading to a severe mosquito infestation. He also reported the overgrowth of poisonous weeds, increasing the risk of snake sightings and endangering his family's safety. Seeking immediate action, he filed a grievance on the CPGRAMS portal, requesting weed removal, mosquito control spray, and garbage clearance.'
Upon review, the concerned authorities cleaned the area, removed the overgrown vegetation, and conducted mosquito repellent spraying to address the issue. The grievance was resolved and closed.
In the 37th CPGRAMS Report of Central Ministries/Departments, the success stories highlighted the story of Prem Deep.
Prem Deep, after his Army release, submitted all required documents for settlement, but faced delays and no response from PCDA (Officers), Pune regarding partial dues of Rs 90,936 and a PLI refund of Rs 6,492.

Another incident mentioned was that of Syoprasad, a salaried taxpayer who had filed his return for the Assessment Year 2014-15, claiming a TDS credit of Rs 16,536. However, while processing the return, the credit was not given,and a demand of Rs 16,560 was incorrectly raised. Despite submitting a rectification request and paying the demand, no correction was made, and additional interest under Section 220(2) was shown.

Air fares surge post Ahmedabad plane crash, rampant price gouging

Following the Ahmedabad plane crash, a sharp increase in air ticket prices is observed, something that can be described as price gouging, or charging excessively high rates. According to reports, nearly 41 per cent tickets have been cancelled, said Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council Chairperson Jyoti Mayal. A travel agent mentioned that a ticket, which was priced slightly above Rs 6,000 before the accident, is now being sold for around Rs 34,000. Mayal said that there has been a significant rise in ticket cancellations following the Ahmedabad plane accident. Speaking to ANI, she said, "I don't want to take names, but some airlines have increased their ticket prices. This is reportedly because flights that are running full due to cancellations have seen a spike in ticket fares. According to her information, around 41 per cent of tickets have been cancelled. However, similar trends were also noticed recently in connection with Jammu and Kashmir." She further mentioned that they are receiving queries from people asking whether the prices of exit row seats will now increase. "I would like to clarify that there is no such information yet suggesting that the fares for exit row seats have increased. She said that it is certain that most people are now demanding seats in the exit row. She also pointed out that travel agents have suffered significant losses in recent days. Whenever any adverse situation arises, the travel trade is the first to be affected," she told ANI. Roopak Punyani, owner of Delhi-based travel company Travel Canvas India Private Limited, said that apart from the overall global situation and recent tensions between India and Pakistan, the Ahmedabad accident has had a serious negative impact. Cancellations are mainly coming from the corporate sector. Most people are now ensuring that they avoid flying in Boeing aircraft, he said. While he did not directly say that this has caused a rise in ticket prices, he noted that direct flights from certain locations are no longer operating. As a result, passengers are having to pay higher fares due to having to travel on connecting flights. Saurabh Tiwari, a travel agent at Sushant Travels, Delhi, said that they are receiving a large number of flight ticket cancellation requests. Passengers are quite scared. Some travellers are even converting their air travel plans into train journeys, causing them significant inconvenience and loss. He also mentioned that cancellations have impacted ticket prices, leading to a surge. For example, a flight from Delhi to Dhaka, which used to cost around Rs 7,000 to Rs 9,000, is now priced between Rs 30,000 to Rs 34,000. According to him, airline companies have increased ticket fares, and this change is being seen due to the cancellation of Air India flights following the Ahmedabad plane accident.

LIC Housing Finance reduces interest rate in line with recent RBI repo rate cut

New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): LIC Housing Finance has reduced its rate of interest on new home loans by 50 basis points, in line with the similar degree of repo rate cut by yje Reserve Bank of India (RBI). With this revision, interest rates on new home loan sanctions will now start from 7.50 per cent, effective June 19, 2025, coinciding with the company's 36th Foundation Day, it said in a statement Saturday. This move by LIC Housing Finance is aimed at passing on the benefit to new home loan customers to encourage home ownership and improve affordability. The recent frontloaded repo rate cut by the RBI was understandably aimed at boosting economy, which has relatively moderated. The policy rate cut and the subsequent decline in interest rates by banks will create demand for fresh credit, giving fresh life to the economy. After a total of 100 basis point repo rate reduction since February 2025, the scope for more rate cuts is limited, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra had hinted after the latest monetary policy meeting. Tribhuwan Adhikari, MD and CEO, LIC Housing Finance said 'As we mark our 36th Foundation Day, we remain committed to making home ownership more accessible. The rate cut is a continuation of our effort to align with RBI's policy direction and pass on the benefits to our customers.' 'We are confident this move will provide an added boost to housing demand, especially in the affordable and mid-income segments, where aspirations of owning a home are closely tied to interest rate dynamics,' the MD and CEO added. LIC Housing Finance Ltd is a leading housing finance company having networks of offices across India and a representative office in Dubai. In addition, the Company also distributes its products through branches of its subsidiary LIC HFL Financial Services Ltd. LIC Housing Finance Ltd was promoted by Life Insurance Corporation in 1989, and a public issue was made in 1994. (ANI)

"Outdated, misinformed, and disconnected from reality," Amit Malviya slams Rahul Gandhi's claims on Make in India

New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): BJP leader Amit Malviya on Saturday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the 'Make in India' initiative, and said that India's manufacturing sector is growing strongly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Amit Malviya said India is now the world's second-largest mobile phone maker, growing from just 2 factories in 2014 to over 300 today.
