Dreams dont have any expiry date - Chase your dreams and success will start chasing you.

Your goods are detained on a highway. You are told — PAY the penalty or your goods stay here. You say — I DISPUTE this detention. I will not pay. The officer smiles. "Then your goods don't move." But is that officer RIGHT? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Because I just re-read the CGST Act. And Section 129(1)(c) says something very different. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ It says your detained goods SHALL be released — not just on payment of penalty — but ALSO upon furnishing SECURITY of equivalent amount. Meaning — you don't have to PAY. You furnish security. You get your goods. You go fight the case. That right is sitting in the statute. Right now. Today. So why is NOBODY using it? Why is EVERY detained taxpayer forced to pay up or lose goods? Here is the brutal answer. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRE Finance Act 2021 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Section 129(1)(c) | Right to release on security | EXISTED ✅ Section 129(2) | Provisional release framework via Sec 67(6) | EXISTED ✅ Rule 140 | Prescribed the bond and security mechanism | WORKING The system had a backbone. A disputing taxpayer had a real option. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ POST Finance Act 2021 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗑️ Section 129(2) — DELETED | Notification No. 39/2021-CT ❌ Provisional release framework — GONE ❌ Rule 140's anchor in Section 129 — GONE But Section 129(1)(c)? 📌 Still there. Word for word. Untouched. Still promising release on security — "in such form and manner as may be prescribed." Except — no such form and manner has EVER been prescribed specifically for Section 129(1)(c) — not before 2021, not after. Rule 140 uses the word PROVISIONAL. Section 129(1)(c) does NOT. They do not speak the same language. Rule 140 cannot be the answer for clause (c). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ So here is where we are TODAY. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your goods are detained. You dispute the penalty. The law GIVES you the right to furnish security and walk away with your goods. But there is NO prescribed mechanism to exercise that right. The officer has no form to accept your security. The rules have no procedure to process it. You have a RIGHT — but zero REMEDY. And so you are back to the same choice — 💸 Pay the penalty you dispute. 🚛 Or watch your goods rot on the highway. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 I AM ASKING YOU DIRECTLY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓Can transit goods be provisionally released under GST law as on date — post FA 2021? ❓Is Section 129(1)(c) a dead letter — or can a High Court under Article 226 breathe life into it and direct release on security? ❓Has Parliament — by deleting Section 129(2) — intentionally shut the door on ALL provisional release from transit detention? Or was it a drafting oversight that left clause (c) orphaned? A right without a remedy is not law. It is a promise the State has broken. What do YOU think? 👇 Comment. Share. Tag your GST lawyer.

We recently experienced multiple unauthorized transaction attempts on our EPM card issued by ICICI Bank. Thankfully, our international transactions were disabled, so no financial loss occurred. The very next day, my husband contacted customer care and requested to block both his primary card and my add-on card as a precaution. During that call, the executive clearly informed us that the replacement card charges would be ₹250 + GST. Since the amount quoted was nominal, it directly influenced our decision to block not just the primary card but also the add-on card for safety reasons. However, weeks later, when we contacted customer care to request the issuance of new cards, we were informed that the actual charges are ₹3,500 + GST per card. This now results in a total burden of approximately ₹7,000 + GST for both cards—something we would have reconsidered had the correct charges been communicated upfront. When we raised this discrepancy, the team assured us that they would review the call recordings and honor the earlier commitment if verified. It has now been over a month. The bank has acknowledged that the call recording does confirm the ₹250 + GST charge, yet they are still insisting that we pay ₹3,500 + GST for the replacement cards. This is highly concerning and raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and customer trust. Such situations make customers lose trust in reputed institutions like ICICI Bank. If commitments made by the bank’s own representatives—even after verification—are not honored, it becomes extremely difficult to rely on their services. If this matter is not resolved promptly and fairly, we will be forced to escalate it further through appropriate channels. @ICICIBank @ICICIBank_Care #ccgreek @imYadav31 @EvryPaisaMatter @CreditCardsInd @DoBaniye @AmazingCreditC @creditkeeda @cards_wizard @suritalreja @jassneetsingha Kindly Retweet

Dear @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @mybmc @myBESTBus : this is what forward thinking looks like

✨Non Stop FII Flight. At a glittering ceremony, India's most LOVED FM, @nsitharaman was C'L'OWNED 🤡 the "FII/FPI INVESTMENT DESTROYER QUEEN", for creating world record monthly FII outflow of Rs.1,22,540Cr in March 2026, first time in the history of India! What a Terrible ..sorry Terrific achiement @PMOIndia 👍 All the esteemed political and govt leaders abused ...Sorry appreciated, 😁her unparalleled investment achievement, which has broken the back of Modi Govt's Make In Bharat Initiative since the stock market crash has made secondary market fund raising for capex by MSMEs, impossible. NOTE: Have you noticed? There is hardly any preferential or rights issues which are much needed funds for business expansion. It is most important for the Govt to evaluate damage caused by Jaitley and then Ms.NS by their mindless attack on Indian as well as Foreign investors. "Remove LTCG, reduce STCG and STT and go back to pre 2018 status." That is bare minimum needed to normalise the situation @FinMinIndia.

@justnottamomma Ask his husband…. For certain matters, you can onlt trust MEN.

Allz is wellz !!!

🇨🇳 Professor Jiang — the man nicknamed “The Professor” because he is truly one of the most dangerous geopolitical minds in the world — revealed to Tucker Carlson words you will not hear anywhere else: Iran’s war is an American quagmire with no bottom… China is the biggest long-term loser… and the UAE will be affected in a way no one expected. This man is not an ordinary analyst. He predicted Trump’s victory years ago — and he won. He predicted America entering a war with Iran — and it did. And today, he speaks about the future with the same confidence. 1. Iran War = Second Ukraine The war will be long and exhausting. No side will admit defeat. America is stuck between two bad options: withdrawal = collapse of prestige… continuation = endless bleeding. My view: this is exactly what happened in Ukraine. Americans have no exit strategy, only an entry strategy. 2. Why can’t America exit? Iran will demand $1 trillion in compensation + complete US withdrawal from the region. If America withdraws: Gulf states will become clients of Iran. Petrodollar will collapse. America — with $39 trillion in debt — will face a real economic collapse. The point no one talks about: America is not fighting for Iran… it is fighting so it does not collapse itself. 3. Iran’s smart plan — $800 billion per year Iran plans to impose a 10% passage fee on every ship crossing the Strait of Hormuz. Expected revenue: $800 billion per year. This amount will rebuild Iran stronger than before. If this is correct — and I see it as not far-fetched — Iran will emerge from the war richer than it entered. 4. The biggest loser is not America — but China China imports 40% of its energy from the Gulf. Its economy is entirely built on cheap energy. Even artificial intelligence — which everyone talks about — requires cheap energy. Any disruption in energy supplies will hit China more than any other country. And what no one notices: the war in Iran is not just an American war — it is a war on China’s future as a great power. 5. The real beneficiaries? Israel and Russia Israel: Wants “Greater Israel” from the Nile to the Euphrates. Draining America in a long war = pushing it out of the region. Weakening the Gulf = removing any competitor. Russia: America lifted sanctions on Russian oil (130 million barrels). Russia sells its oil at record prices. And finances its war in Ukraine from America’s pocket. In short: America is paying for others’ wars while thinking it is winning. 6. The religious factor — the hidden power no one talks about There are religious factions in Israel and America that genuinely believe this war is a prelude to the return of Christ. Blowing up Al-Aqsa Mosque and building the Third Temple is part of the plan. Netanyahu and Trump — according to Professor Jiang — are just tools in a project far older than them. This is one of the most dangerous statements in the episode, because when political decisions are driven by end-of-the-world ideology — there is no room for rationality. 7. The ground invasion is coming — a new Vietnam America is considering sending 2,000 Marines to control Kharg Island (90% of Iranian oil exports). But Professor Jiang said clearly: “You can take it, but you cannot hold it.” What begins with 2,000 soldiers could end with half a million — just like in Vietnam. 8. Weakening the UAE — the bubble is about to burst Dubai was built on the illusion of security. Simple Iranian strikes revealed the model’s fragility entirely. What was a “safe haven” became a target. And the confidence upon which all those towers were built is eroding. The UAE will not “end” — but its economic model will be severely shaken, because everything is based on the assumption of regional security — and that assumption has collapsed. 9. Japan will recover — and China will decline Professor Jiang literally said: “If I had a billion dollars — I would put it all in Japan.” Japan has historically risen from anything: the Mongols, World War II, nuclear bombs. China, however: agricultural, closed, and unable to adapt to the new era. 10. The West is collapsing from within Europe, Canada, and Australia are experiencing deliberate demographic change. The “democracy” that emerges looks more like the “organized demolition” of Western civilization. And the question: who is driving this? No one has a clear answer. Conclusion What Professor Jiang said tonight: America is stuck in a quagmire it cannot escape. Iran will return stronger after the war. Israel achieves its expansionist dream. China will be the biggest loser. And the West destroys itself. The remaining question: If Professor Jiang predicted Trump’s victory and the start of the war — and he was correct… Will his predictions today come true?

🚨 Urgent Attention – ⚖️ ICAI Issues Corrigendum on Baggage Duty (Customs) While reviewing the Customs Study Material for CA Final, I noticed technical inconsistencies in the discussion relating to baggage duty under Sections 77–81 of the Customs Act, 1962 and Heading 9803 of the Customs Tariff Act. The issue related to the effective duty computation on passenger baggage and the treatment of Social Welfare Surcharge and concessional baggage rate. 📩 I wrote to ICAI highlighting the issue. I am glad to note that ICAI has now issued a corrigendum correcting the portion under: Chapter 5 – Page 5.52 (Rate of Duty on Baggage) The corrected position clarifies that: ✔ Passenger baggage is exempt from IGST, Compensation Cess and SWS ✔ Therefore effective baggage duty = 35% ✔ Certain goods like motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products fall outside this concessional treatment. Good to see the Board of Studies responding promptly. ⚠️ But this also raises an important question. In professional education, are we verifying the law before teaching it, or simply repeating what is printed in study material? Because when an error enters the ecosystem, it travels from book → classroom → exam answer sheets. And thousands of students repeat the same mistake. In law teaching: Accuracy must precede speed.

❓ Are you reading tax laws in isolation… or in consolidation? Because an exporter never operates under one law. 📦 GST Zero-Rating – Sec 16, IGST Act → Export without tax burden through refund of ITC / IGST. ⚙️ Duty Drawback – Sec 74/75, Customs Act → Refund of embedded customs duties on export inputs. 🌍 RoDTEP – Foreign Trade Policy → Remission of unrebated taxes embedded in the supply chain. But remember — ⚠️ Export duty can still block GST refund under Sec 16(5). ⚠️ One of the biggest mistakes in tax learning: reading laws in isolation. An exporter does not work under only GST. 📦 IGST Act ⚙️ Customs Act 🌍 Foreign Trade Policy These laws interlock to create export competitiveness. Miss one provision — and the entire tax outcome changes. #GST #CustomsLaw #ExportIncentives #RoDTEP #DutyDrawback #IndirectTax #IndianExports #ExportPolicy #TaxLaw #CAFinal #IndirectTaxation #CustomsTariffAct #TradePolicy #TaxEducation #DGFundas #LawBeforeLaw #GlobalTrade #ExportCompetitiveness #TaxPractice #IndianTaxation

Export Duty vs Zero-Rating — A Structural Exception 1️⃣ Zero-rated supply under Sec. 16, IGST Act normally ensures exports leave India free from domestic tax burden. 2️⃣ However, Sec. 16(5) of the IGST Act creates a clear statutory restriction — refund of ITC is not available where export duty is leviable. 3️⃣ When goods are subject to export duty under the Second Schedule of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, the zero-rating benefit stands legally neutralized. 4️⃣ Thus, in such cases, export duty operates as a legislative override, converting a zero-rated export into a tax-cost bearing transaction.

❓ GST abolished CVD and SAD… Right? Most students say YES. But then comes Section 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. ❓ Many say CVD and SAD disappeared after GST — but did they really? 👉 Answer: Not completely. Sec. 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 still keeps them alive for certain goods. ⚖️ Alcoholic liquor and petroleum products (outside GST) continue to attract CVD for excise parity and SAD for sales-tax parity, while tobacco products, though under GST, still attract excise duty — therefore imports attract CVD as well. 📌 Conclusion: GST removed these duties for most goods, but Sec. 3 CTA ensures domestic tax parity where excise/VAT still survives. #GST #CustomsLaw #IndirectTax #CAFinal #TaxLaw #IndianTaxation #TaxEducation #CustomsTariffAct #CAStudents #TaxConcepts #IndirectTaxation #LegalEducation #DGFundas #LawBeforeLaw #TaxPractice
