Don’t Know What The GST Bill Is? You Should, Because It Will Now Impact You The Most!
The Lok Sabha, in May 2016, passed a Constitutional amendment bill to roll out the Goods and Services Tax (GST), a reform that would finish the fiscal barrier between states and economically unite India. A year later, on August 3, 2016, after a 7 hour debate, the Rajya Sabha too passed the bill, heralding a new economic epoch for India. After the LPG reform in 1991, this might be the next big thing that will change things in India for the better.
While everyone is talking about the GST, do we know what it entails and how it will affect us? Here’s what the GST bill actually is, and in what way it will positively/negatively impact you:
Definition
GST is meant to be a uniform tax, that will get rid of all kinds of indirect taxes that states earlier levied on customers, like octroi, VAT, excise duty, etc. Currently, states imposed different taxes with varying rates on the same product, because of which your kurta in Big Bazaar in Mumbai is way more expensive than the same kurta you bought in Jaipur.
A fixed rate of 18% will be levied on all goods and services across India from now on, and manufactured goods are expected to become cheaper.
Here are the sectors that will be impacted by the GST:
Digital services
Your mobile phone calls will now become expensive because of GST. However, handset prices will come down or get equalized across states
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
Earlier, because each state levied their own VAT, excise duty, and entry duty, there was no warehouse rationalisation. Now, companies can save on logistics and distribution costs. Key beneficiaries of the GST bill are companies like Hindustan Lever, Colgate, etc.
Again, the cascading problem of varying tax structure across states has been eliminated, making it easier for e-commerce companies to do business
Services
Eating out might cost dearer to you now, as earlier there was only 15% tax on services. However, according to an HSBC Global Research report, lowering of tax rates for manufactured consumer goods and rise in tax rate for services are likely to offset each other resulting in a limited net impact on inflation based on the consumer price index
Media
Now, your ticket rate might get lowered because each state used to impose a different entertainment tax earlier. Film producers and creative studios will also benefit out of it, as earlier service tax was paid by them on much of their cost. Now that has been eliminated, and they can also charge input credit on creative services
Automobiles
GST will reduce time at check posts, ease logistics. With productivity increase, it may happen that automobile companies wouldn’t see a point in expanding mid-term. But on road commercial vehicles cost will decrease
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, while taking about the implementation of this bill, said that India is not a ‘confederation of states’, it is a union of states. But a ‘union of states’ can’t exist without a union being there. For the first time, there has been a unanimous majority on a bill that can impact India’s unity and its people for the better. Here’s a big shout out and cheer to India’s democracy today. The GST has its shares of flaws, but in the long run, it reduces fiscal barriers, and unnecessary taxes, decreasing corruption and also equalising rate of services and goods.

Your Smartphone Fell In Water? Don’t Panic; Just Follow These & It Will Be Like New
Mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives and over time, it has travelled the journey of being a luxury item to an indispensable accessory. They have become such a necessity that even a day without mobiles seems impossible! But have you ever thought what will you do if your smartphone gets wet in the bathroom or in the rain or falls in water?
First of all, the warranty of your phone doesn’t cover your phone repair if it gets wet. Secondly, you are going to lose all the data, photos and conversations!
So here are few steps which might help you in this tough situation and can save your mobile:
1. Pull it out of water immediately.
Don’t even waste a second in taking it out of water! Sometimes a person loses hope as the chances of phone getting repaired are very less but still we will advise that you should try once to repair it.
2. Switch it off!
Most of the times, the mobile phone turns off as it falls in water but if it doesn’t turn off on its own, switch it off immediately as there is a chance of short circuit.
3. Remove the battery.
Remove the battery of your phone as soon as possible so that the energy supply is stopped and the chances of further damage are reduced. However, there are some phones in which battery can’t be removed so in that case, skip this step.
4. Remove SIM card and memory card from the phone.
Remove the SIM card, memory card, cover and plugs from the phone and rub a microfiber cloth or towel on the phone to make it dry. Avoid using paper for this purpose as it may result in clogging of particles in the empty spots of the phone.
5. Keep it in a vacuum bag.
Take a plastic bag and keep the phone in it. After that, suck all the air out of the plastic bag so that vacuum is created. It will result in sucking out of the water left in the inner parts of the phone which was not possible with the cloth or towel.
6. Keep the phone in the bowl of uncooked rice.
It is impossible to completely dry the phone with a cloth or towel or even by creating vacuum so you will need something which will absorb the moisture of the phone and uncooked rice can help you in that. Keep the phone in a bowl of uncooked rice for at least two days.
7. Silica gel sachets:
You can also use silica gel sachets instead of rice.
8. Keep it in a place where it gets heat from the sun
Keep your phone in a place where it gets heat from the sun so that remaining moisture gets finished.
9. Turn it on!
As per the experts and technicians, chances of damages incurred after the phone gets wet are very high but our advice for you is to follow the steps and be positive. However make sure that you don’t try to switch it on before two days because if there is even a tiny drop of water remaining in the phone, it will damage your phone completely.
