The Finance Act, 2020 has established a new Section 194-O that elaborates on levying 1 percent on TDS payments made to e-commerce operators. Section 194-O is applicable when Residents or Non-Resident e-commerce operators make payments to e-commerce platforms in relation to the sale of goods and services. 

An e-commerce operator is defined as a person who holds, manages or operates a digital or electronic facility for the sale of goods and services. Also, e-commerce operators are responsible for making payments to any e-commerce participant on sale of such products or services. These products or services include sale of digital goods and services such as podcasting, blogs etc.

Who is excluded?

A threshold limit of Rs. 5 lakhs is applicable for only resident individuals and Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). What this means is that an e-commerce operator does not need to deduct TDS if the amount (paid or credited) to individuals or HUF during the financial year does not exceed Rs. 5 lakhs.

Non-resident e-commerce participants are excluded or exempted from Section 194-O.

Scope of TDS on E-commerce under Section 194-O

The responsibility of payment of TDS lies with an escrow account between the buyer and seller. In other words, TDS is to be handled by e-commerce providers for the facilitation service of selling provision or goods of service furnished by it through its digital or automated facility or platform.

E-commerce providers are expected to deduct TDS during the credit or return period, whichever is faster.

Moreover, this section provides that if a purchaser of goods or service has earned the payment immediately to the e-commerce associate, it shall be assumed that an adjustment has been performed by the e-commerce executive or that the account has been charged by the e-commerce operator and the same shall be calculated in the entire amount for deduction of tax.

If the e-commerce participant does not publish their Aadhaar or PAN card, TDS has to be deducted at the rate of 5 per cent, according to the provisions of section 206AA.

What if the e-commerce participant is a non-resident?

Let us take an example. An e-commerce participant firm called Trader Ltd, sells its products through Amazon. Ms. Lina purchased this product online from Trader for Rs. 10,000 on the 1st of April, 2020.

Amazon credits Trader’s account on the 1st of April, 2020, but the customer directly makes the payment to Trader on the 15th of April, 2020.

Here, Amazon is needed to deduct TDS @1 percent on Rs. 10000 at the time of credit to the party or make the payment, whichever comes first. In such a scenario, TDS has to be deducted on the 1st of April, 2020.

Other provisions of Section 194-O on e-commerce transactions

All other left-out provisions of the chapter TDS of the Act are applicable. This includes submission of TDS form, provision surrounding the payment of TDS, other provisions related to non-deduction or lower deduction/non-submission of return/non-payment post deduction would be applicable as stated in the Act. The introduction of section 194-O would result in the upliftment of revenue for the government by minimizing tax evasion.

Rare Planet, a Kolkata-based handicraft products brand, offering products hand-created by rural craftsmen from across the nation, has raised a seed round of financing from Venture Catalysts. The startup, which aims at curating an independent self-sufficient community of craftsmen of over 1,000,000 by 2024, will use the newly gained funding to add up to and reinforce its community and transform Rare Planet into a brand with a very Indian personality. 

Begun in 2015 by Ranodeep Saha, then in 2019, Vijaya Kumar Thalanki Rajgopal joined Rare Planet as a cofounder is working on-hands with karigars from far-off regions to adjust existing customary things. It consolidates the innate range of abilities of Indian craftsmen with the edge and mastery of trendy planners to make items. The startup is right now present across 50+ clustersin the nation including travel retail stores like WH Smith, Relay in air terminals, and book shop chains like Crossword to name a few.

Although in the beginning, the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns came as a disappointment, eventually it turned out to be a boon in disguise. During the pandemic itself, Rare Planet raised another round of funding and is currently valued at around INR 100 crore!

Not only in terms of funding received, but it expanded in terms of presence. Recently, 4 news stores were launched in Kolkata, Bangalore, and Goa  This only means that there will be a more steady income for the rural artisans who create the products by hand.

When the pandemic hit all of a sudden, the artisans behind the success of Rare Planet’s products were among the hardest hit. Rare Planet made sure their livelihoods didn’t stop, by employing them in making face masks of a variety of fabrics and colors.

Besides expanding their retail network and offering a variety of products, Rare Planet is equally focused on creating a safety net for these workmen. A bunch of facilities such as financial assistance, loan facility among many other things, was made available to this vulnerable section of the population.

After graduating in 2018, Ranodeep’s Rare Planet was doing very well and was on the path of phenomenal growth. “But things came to a grinding halt when the Covid situation arose and the nation went on lockdown,” says Ranodeep. “But that did not stop us. We ensured business continuity by selling handmade face masks, sanitizers, and other relevant items, which kept us afloat. It also ensured that the livelihoods of artisans were not disrupted.”

So what lies ahead for growth? It was from New Zealand that Rare Planet received its first international order, but now it has grown much beyond that. “We’ve recently launched our products into the international market, and it has been doing tremendously well. We plan to expand our offerings to more international markets. This way, we will also ensure better numbers for our artisans and achieve greater visibility as well. We want these India-made products to be available in all major airports the world over,” says Vijaya Kumar ThalankiRajgopal Co-founder, of Rare Planet.

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar flew to Kuwait via Doha on Wednesday morning for a three-day visit to strengthen bilateral ties and express gratitude to the two countries for assisting India during the raging second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic by acting as a logistics hub for liquid medical oxygen supplies to western India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet with his counterpart Sheikh Ahmed Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah to discuss ways to strengthen ties in the energy, trade, investment, manpower, and information technology sectors while the EAM transports Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal letter to Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah.

Despite the fact that the S Jaishankar will transit through Doha on Qatar Airways, no meeting with Qatari leadership has been organized as of yet at the airport.

During the second pandemic in India, Kuwait, which has a large Indian community of over a million people, provided 5,267 oxygen cylinders, 450 metric tonnes of liquid medical oxygen, 66 oxygen concentrators, 11 ventilators, and other things such as medications, oximeters, masks, and gloves to India. From May 4 to June 8, Kuwait sent all of its medical assistance to India.

Qatar, which is India’s major LNG and LPG supplier, has also established itself as a major logistical and transportation hub for western India. Since August 2020, it has maintained a steady flow of passenger flights under the air bubble arrangement, particularly in recent weeks when several other Gulf airlines have shut down. In the current circumstance, Doha might become a new transit hub for Indians after the pandemic’s dust settles.

Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, called Prime Minister Modi on April 27 to express his country’s solidarity with India and to assure him that Qatar will provide all available assistance. The Indian Ambassador in Doha would liaise with the Prime Minister’s office on the topic, according to the Prime Minister. The Emir quickly gave instructions to his foreign office to find out what India needed and to aid them.

Qatar Airways, one of the world’s major cargo carriers, declared on April 29 that it would transport crucial humanitarian medical cargo to India for free. Qatar Airways played a critical role in transporting foreign medical help to India. On May 3, Qatar Airways dispatched three cargo airplanes, one to Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, each carrying 300 MT of medical supplies sourced from around the world. It featured ventilators, CPAPs, oxygen concentrators, and personal protective equipment.

Qatar was also instrumental in supplementing India’s local production of liquid medicinal oxygen. Minister Dharmendra Pradhan met with his Qatari counterpart, Energy Minister Saad Al Kaabi, on May 1. The latter promised that Qatar Petroleum would take roughly 400 MT of liquid medical oxygen available to India every week.

The Indian community in Qatar, which numbers 700,000 people, also contributed generously, mobilizing 532 fully filled oxygen tanks and 43 oxygen concentrators. INS Kolkata delivered the first consignment of 200 completely filled oxygen cylinders and 43 oxygen concentrators on May 10, while INS Tarkash delivered the second consignment of 232 oxygen cylinders with capacities of 42 and 50 liters on May 12. Nagaland, Odisha, Bihar, and Telangana are among the states that have employed them.

After 12^th, students aspire to go to different fields such as Engineering, Medical, Commerce, IT, Humanities and so on. But what is more important is what they will be after the next 4 years of their career. Here comes the question of being in a position where you can get SATISFACTION that will decide your entire life. This satisfaction stems from working in a field where your decisions will have a direct impact on the system. Yes, we are talking about UPSC Civil Services Examination which can post you in diversified fields such as IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS and so on. UPSC-CSE is one of the top ten toughest exams of the world. Nowadays, it has become a trend where students from almost all fields are preparing for UPSC/IAS while pursuing their graduation. Civil Services is known as one of the most prestigious careers in India’s Administrative structure. These jobs have certain privileges. First of all, you will be trained at LBSNAA which in itself is a place of heaven. You will be provided opportunities to serve in diverse fields. A civil servant is provided various perks and privileges. And yes, there is a handsome salary and allowances also!!! A civil servant is regarded as one of the most powerful officers of his/her department also. But, one thing should be kept in mind.

“With Great Powers comes Great Responsibilities.”

Being an IAS officer means having control over a Whole district. Your designation would vary from a DM or collector to a Cabinet Secretary. Being an IPS means having control the whole Police Force of your district where your designation would range from being an SP of a District to a DGP of the State. You will also be provided opportunities to work in various agencies such as CBI, IB, NIA, RAW and many more. When you are given such supreme control, you are also responsible for any mismanagement happening within your jurisdiction. But this sense of responsibility is the beauty of this job. It makes you feel proud of yourself. It cherishes you to serve for the nation. It shows your valuable contribution in the development of your country.

So, all of this makes Civil Services a best option after 12^th Standard. But the question is how to prepare for this examination. This is one of the topmost competitive examinations of our country. We cannot deny the fact that only few candidates can clear this examination out of almost half a million. So, what is the core elements that help those few to clear it. It is EARLY PREPARATION. Successful candidates have one thing in common i.e., they have started preparation in the earlier days of their academic career. As mentioned above, those who have just cleared their 12^th Examination and Pursuing for Graduation are the perfect candidates to prepare for this exam. Earlier preparation has certain added advantages that latecomers won’t have such as, Conceptual clarity, Disciplined Study, Self-analysis, Complete coverage of the syllabus, in-depth understanding, enough time devotion to the optional subject, Proper Planning and Practice of MCQs and Mains answer writing practice and at last, being familiar with the process of the Civil Services Examination. There is also one more advantage which can be regarded as one of the most important among all if we talk about your professional career as a Civil Servant. Those who start preparation just after completing their schooling possibly tend to clear this examination in their first attempt. Clearing this examination in the first attempt means you will have a higher number of years to serve for the country as compared to those who joined late. So, there are higher chances of promotion also. Joining IAS at the early stage can give you the opportunity to serve as the Cabinet Secretary also. All these benefits are not fully available to those who join the services late.

If we look at the present scenario, more than 60% of the toppers of UPSC-CSE belong to this category. They have started their preparation in the early stage of their academic career. Some examples are, Tina Dabi (AIR-1, 2015), SafinHasan, AnudeepDurishetty, Junaid Ahmed and many more.

If you want to be a part of this list, DELHI INSTITUTE FOR CIVIL SERVICES (DICS) can guide you to ace your goal. DICS has recently been awarded as the Best UPSC/IAS Coaching Institute of Gujarat by News18 Group. It provides the Best coaching for UPSC-CSE at Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara and soon opening in Surat. For more details, visit their website www.dics.co

 “Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air”, the aforementioned quote speaks volumes about the power of journalism and its role in seeking an empowered society where each class and group has a stake.

With a similar vision in mind and a magnificent six years into its inception, Quant Media Private Limited is leading with its commendable work on touching rural lives and livelihoods to present the state of real India amongst its fellows.

Having led from the front on various breakthrough projects, the committed team at Quant Media has taken to task the objective of connecting the locals of Bihar with their residents in other parts of the country through Live Bihar. Being incepted in 2016, the aim of the channel was to explicitly propagate the rich culture, political ups and downs, news from around the world and related to the state of Bihar while having special shows on women and Bihari cuisine.

Headquartered in Sector 132, Noida, Quant Media is a state-of-the-art news agency which has emerged with its revolutionary journalism to empower the masses in India.

With its nationally acclaimed news platforms, Live India and Live News, the firm is led by ace journalist with years of stalwarthy experience, Director and Managing editor Basant Jha who has conceptualised the vision of Live Bihar and is proving it’s mettle across the country.

Being launched by the then incumbent Union Ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Najma Heptulla in the year 2015, Live India caters to delivering the most time sensitive and crucial events with credible and reliable journalism pouring in from their dedicated team.

One of the renowned journalism experts in the country who have touched the most backwards regions with his presence, he began his journey in the year 2000 with Dainik Jagran News Paper and has since then climbed several pedestals of success eventually making it to the top.

Having spent a substantial amount of time in the rural vicinities of Bihar and Jharkhand.  He traveled from villages to villages to get a first hand insight of these states and the communities who may migrate to other states but have their heart intact with their native states.

Basant Jha now visualises a dream to copy the same streak in Jharkhand and bless their natives with adequate reporting on its rich cultural heritage, life style and life philosophy of the natives, tribals there which is very different yet something which needs to be communicated across the country.

“It is because of my various work assignments and constant inclination to understand more about the rural lives of some of the most unreported areas in the country that I became sensitive to the idea of taking their tremendous cultural richness to those who connect their heart with these areas. We deploy our stringers from the most basic levels to up until the district level. We are driven to continue this streak in all our endeavours so that such news which is not covered by the mainstream national news channels and agencies reaches those whose hearts beat for Bihar and Jharkhand ”, says director and managing editor Basant Jha.

Their most celebrated platform, Live Bihar has received accolades on many fronts because of their robust and impartial reporting that caters to each nook and corner of Bihar. Being hailed by leaders of the opposition parties and ruling party alike, it is because of their strong work ethic that their commendable social media work is received exceedingly well by leaders and citizens equally in Bihar.

Not only this, it was because of their unprecedented efforts at catering to the most left out sections to bind all natives of Bihar that Saroj Jha, Regional Director of the World Bank, labelled Live Bihar as a new communication revolution for Bihar.
