In this context, to standardize time observance, the government has drafted comprehensive rules for mandatory use of Indian Standard Time (IST) on all official and commercial platforms.

The Legal Metrology (Indian Standard Time) Rules, 2024 aim to establish a legal framework to standardise timekeeping practices. This framework mandates IST as the sole time reference for legal, administrative, commercial and official documents. This means that any time references other than IST will be prohibited for official and commercial purposes.

According to the draft rules, “IST will be the mandatory time reference in all sectors, including commerce, transport, public administration, legal contracts and financial operations.”

Exceptions allowed

A senior government official said that precise timing with nanosecond accuracy is required for strategic and non-strategic sectors. Hence, exceptions will be allowed for special areas like astronomy, navigation and scientific research for which government approval will have to be taken first.

It is worth noting that the Department of Consumer Affairs is developing a robust time creation and dissemination mechanism in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The ministry has asked stakeholders to give suggestions on the draft rules by February 14.

Union Labor Minister Mansukh Mandaviya says that we cannot keep such people away from their rights until the code is implemented.

What are gig workers

Actually, gig workers are those people who usually do temporary jobs. They work as independent contractors or freelancers. The special thing is that such employees also have facilities like fixing the working hours. They also do project based jobs. NITI Aayog estimates that there are 65 lakh gig workers in the country, but the figure may cross two crores.

Who will get the benefit

This decision to implement the framework is also being called a ‘soft launch’ of the provisions included in the labor law. Actually, this is because not all states are ready to implement the Labor Code yet. On Thursday, Mandaviya said, ‘We cannot keep them away from their rights until the rules are implemented. We have to bring a policy before that.’

He also said that they will try to implement the social security framework before the budget in February next year. The special thing is that some states have also made laws for gig workers. The minister says that the ministry is considering all the suggestions, because here there is no relationship between the employee and the employer. Also, the biggest thing is that where will the contribution for the social security of such employees come from, which is made by those who employ them.

The Delhi government is planning to replace the existing smart card driving license and vehicle registration certificate (RC) with their electronic cards. These electronic cards will be like Aadhar card, which can be printed out. Also, there will be an ID and QR code on the driving license and RC, which the traffic police can scan to confirm the authenticity of the documents. These can also be shown to the traffic police whenever needed through DigiLocker and mParivahan app. In the financial year 2023-24, 1.6 lakh driving licenses were issued in Delhi and 6,69,373 RCs were issued from April 2023 to May 2024.

An official of the Transport Department said that the state government is reviewing a scheme proposed by the Rajasthan government, which talks about issuing electronic licenses and RCs by eliminating the smart card system. It is worth noting that recently Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot had ordered the officials to resolve the problems arising in vehicle registration. In a meeting, Gehlot had expressed concern over the delay in the delivery of vehicle RCs. Expressing concern over vehicle dealers not giving vehicle RCs on time, Gehlot had directed the department to take action against non-compliant dealers.

Keeping RC and DL will be easy.

According to a report by Times of India, converting driving license and RC into electronic format will be very convenient for people. Applicants will be able to print these electronic documents themselves, like they print Aadhaar card. To download these, the applicant will need his driving license information such as application number, license number and date of birth. This information will be controlled through a one-time pin (OTP), which will be sent to the applicant’s registered mobile number.

Another official said that the printable PDF format of e-DL and e-RC can be downloaded from the Transport Seva Citizen Portal and its link will be sent to the applicant’s registered mobile number on Sarathi and Vahan portal. He said that the PDF of e-DL and e-RC will have a QR code, which will confirm the authenticity of the documents. Also, the latest details of e-DL and e-RC will be available on the mParivahan app.

Salary Hike Latest Updates

In fact, before the Union Budget presented this year, many unions and organizations of government employees had recommended the Central Government to abolish the 7th Pay Commission and implement the 8th Pay Commission. However, this did not happen in the budget. But it is also not the case that the government has completely ignored this important demand. According to claims, the Central Finance Ministry is collecting data before implementing it and it is possible that the employees employed by the Center and pensioners will start getting its benefits from next year.

Let us tell you that the 7th Pay Commission was implemented in January 2016. Looking at these circumstances, the 8th Pay Commission is expected to be implemented within one and a half years. (DA Hike and Salary Increase of Govt Employees Latest Updates and News) In this way, even if it is not implemented next year, it will be mandatory to implement it by 2026.

How much will the salary increase?

Now the question arises that if the Finance Department implements the 8th Pay Commission, then how much will be the increase in the salary of government employees? So let us tell you that for the increase in dearness allowance, the government will also increase the fitment factor, which will have a direct effect in the calculation of DA. Currently, under the 7th Pay Commission, this fitment factor is 2.57 times, if the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, then this fitment factor will become 3.68 times. For example, if the basic salary of an employee is Rs 18,000, then his salary excluding allowances will be Rs 18,000 X 2.57 = Rs 46,260. If the fitment factor is 3 or more, then definitely it will be beneficial.

What is DA?

Let us tell you that when the salary of a central employee is fixed without allowances, then all kinds of allowances are added to it, such as DA, TA, HRA. DA is given to central employees to protect them from losses due to inflation. (DA Hike and Salary Increase of Govt Employees Latest Updates and News) It is fixed twice a year. The first time it is fixed during January to June and the second time it is fixed for the period from July to December.

When will DA increase?

It is important to mention here that the government calculates the average inflation every half year, which includes calculations from January to June. After this, the average inflation is calculated in the second half. On this basis, DA increases. DA is always higher than the average inflation. Currently, the AICPI index is located at 139.4 points, so it is being estimated that for the second time in 2024, dearness allowance may increase by 3 to 4 percent. After the increase in DA, TA increases on the same basis. The increase in DA is also linked to TA. Similarly, house rent allowance i.e. HRA is also decided. The monthly salary of the central employee is prepared after all the allowances are calculated.

The Chinese government is increasing the retirement age of its employees. According to China’s state broadcaster CCTV, the country’s National People’s Congress (Parliament) announced this on Friday. This policy will be implemented gradually over 15 years. In this, the retirement age for men will be increased to 63 years. The retirement age for women will be 55 and 58 years based on their role.

Currently in China, the retirement age for men is 60 years and for women in the working class (blue collar) is 50 years and for women in the office working class (white collar) is 55 years. This retirement age is the lowest among the major economies of the world.

Xiujian Peng, who studies China’s population and economy, has explained the reason behind this. Peng is a research scholar at Victoria University in Australia. He said that people are reaching retirement age on a large scale. Therefore, there is a lot of pressure on the pension fund. Therefore, I think that now the time has come to work seriously in this direction. The last time the retirement age was fixed was in the year 1950. At that time, the life expectancy there was about 40 years.

This policy of the Chinese government will come into effect from next year. There will be gradual changes based on the date of birth of people. An example of this has also been given in the chart released with the policy. For example, if a person is born in January 1971, then he will retire in August 2032 at the age of 61 years and seven months. Similarly, a person born in May 1971 will retire in January 2033 at the age of 61 years and eight months.

According to experts, the increasing population of elderly people has played an important role in China’s decision. By the end of 2023, the number of people over 60 years of age in China will be around 300 million. At the same time, this number is estimated to increase to 400 million by 2035.

This will be more than the population of America. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences had previously said that by then the public pension funds would have ended. Yanzhong Huang, Senior Fellow of Global Health at the Council on Foreign Relations, said that the end of pension and social benefits is not only a problem of China. This is happening everywhere. But the increasing population of elderly people in China is a big challenge.

Young people in China are not having children citing rising inflation. Due to this, the young population is decreasing there. In 2022, China’s National Bureau of Statistics reported that for the first time there were 850,000 fewer people in the country at the end of the year than the previous year. In 2023, the population fell by another 2 million. The basis of pension in China is the people currently working, whose expenses meet it. According to research, here five working employees bear the burden of one retired person. This figure is expected to increase further over time.

What is the difference between Old Pension Scheme and NPS? (OPS vs NPS)
In the old pension scheme, the employee used to get a fixed amount as pension after retirement, whereas in NPS both the employee and the government contribute a fixed amount and at the time of retirement this amount increases on the basis of investment and is given to the employee.

There is a constant demand for restoring the old pension scheme

For some time now, many employee organizations have been demanding the restoration of the old pension scheme. Employees believe that in the old pension scheme they get a fixed pension which secures their life after retirement. Whereas there is a risk in investing in NPS and the amount received at the time of retirement depends on the investment.

What is the government’s argument?

The government believes that NPS is a better option as employees also contribute and get an opportunity to grow wealth through investment. Apart from this, restoring OPS will increase the financial burden on the government.

Modi government can give good news to crores of taxpayers in its third term. The government can increase the limit of 80C from Rs 1.50 to Rs 3 lakh. Many taxpayers choose section 80C as their preferred tax saving option. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act 1961, if individuals opt for the old tax regime, they can avail a maximum deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh for the financial year 2024-25. Those who opt for the new tax regime are not eligible to avail this deduction.

The limit was increased in the year 2014

In 2014, the then Finance Minister Arun Jaitley increased the 80C benefit limit to Rs 1.5 lakh per annum. This change was one of the major forms of relief given by the government in its first budget. However, there has been no change in the 80C limit since then. This marks a decade since the last increase in 2014. Every year many taxpayers hope that the Finance Minister will increase the Section 80C limit in the Union Budget 2024. Many believe that the 80C limit has not increased in line with income and costs. Due to this difference, many taxpayers use the entire 80C limit to save tax.

What is the benefit of Section 80C?

The maximum tax deduction allowed to taxpayers under Section 80C is Rs 1.5 lakh. However, taxpayers can invest in one or more savings schemes to save tax. Deductions under Section 80C are available only to individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). Taxpayers can claim deductions for investments in savings schemes or for payments of investments and expenses falling under the 80C category.

Why should the Section 80C limit be increased?

A person’s taxable income is calculated by deducting the 80C deduction from his total income. Any change in the Section 80C deduction limit directly affects a person’s taxable income. Taxpayers will get the direct benefit of this. The cost of many people has increased. Salaries have increased, but the benefits of Section 80C have not kept pace. Due to this, many people take full advantage of 80C. That is why increasing the limit in Section 80C is always the first priority for taxpayers before the budget every year.
