LTCG to Loot Middle Class | How will removing indexation in calculating LTCG tax affect everyone?
Today, FM @nsitharaman reduced Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) Tax on properties to 12.5%, but cleverly removed indexation, which adjusts the property price at the time of sale, to account for inflation. How does this impact us? Let's break it down with simple math.
Suppose you bought an apartment in January 2009 for โน50 lakhs. Fifteen years later, you sold it today for โน1.5 crore. With indexation, the โน50 lakhs you paid 15 years ago is considered to be worth โน1.32 crore today. So, the net profit or capital gain is only โน17.5 lakhs, and you'd pay only โน3.5 lakhs as Capital Gains Tax at the rate of 20%.
But without indexation, your capital gain now is โน1 crore, and at 12.5%, you'd end up paying โน12.5 lakhs in tax. Essentially, the government takes โน9 lakhs more than the old method.
Your net profit after buying a property and holding it for 15 years is just โน5,01,825. You might have paid much much more in loan interest alone. Was it really worth it? Do you call this cleverness or crookedness? #Budget (1/3)
The EU has found cancer-causing chemicals in 527 Indian products reaching their borders.
Last night, after an hour or two of Internet search, I believe I succeeded in finding out the likely source of that list, and what I saw is really worrying. I will share all my findings in this post, and also share the links so that you may explore the lists and check the data for yourself. Bit of a long post, though Iโll try to keep it concise.
Just last week too, Hong Kong and Singapore had banned some varieties of MDH and Everest masalas because they contained ethylene oxide, a proven cancer causing agent, above permissible levels.
EU, HK and Singapore have either banned the products or returned the consignments from their borders. But the more important question here is: as primary consumers of the produce, that too in bulk, are we being taken for a ride? Whatโs the quantum of health risk to us, and are our regulatory bodies any good?
The EUโs decision was based on recommendations from the European Food Safety Agency that relies on the findings of an intra-authority information network that operates across national borders - the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).
The RASFF data can be accessed from a site called the RASFF window (see screenshot). I have included the link at the end of this post. I searched the RASFF database with two keywords - ethylene oxide and India. The results can be downloaded in either csv or xls format (see screenshot).
Findings - Hazardous levels of ethylene oxide were found in every conceivable food product : spices, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, chia seeds, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, cardamom and many other food varieties.
Ethylene oxide was also found in many health supplements, so called immune boosters and herbal medicines and all these products were either withheld or returned from the EUโs borders.
Searching products originating from India, I found that there were 1094 RSAFF notifications from 17th May 2019 to 26th April 2024 and these red flags included aflatoxin, pesticide residues, mycotoxins, nitrofurans, Salmonella, chlorpyriphos, anthraquinone, cadmium, mineral oil, mercury and multiple other hazardous contaminants with potentially serious health risks.
My worry - we all consume these food articles on a daily basis, and I wonโt be surprised if we are unwittingly getting exposed to large doses of hazardous or cancer causing agents. I can only hope that FSSAI or other food safety regulators in India are doing their job.
Explore the RASFF window yourselves. It never harms to stay informed.

KYA HUA TERA WAADA !?
Admiring my beautiful little village Uleytokpo...
and feeling very sad for our nomadic pashmina herders, who are not as lucky & are losing their land to industrial plants and Chinese incursion.
To add insult to injury @AmitShah ji recently said not even an inch of land has been lost.
Earlier in the last meeting of MHA with Ladakhi leaders he had said "even if the Prime Minister asks me I won't give you #6thSchedule or #StatehoodForLadakh"
Do election manifestos mean anything in this country!!!?
KYA HUA TERA WAADA!?
