Every refund for future GST matters will be solved within 60 days. CSR violations will not to be treated as criminal offence. There will be one definition for a medium and small enterprise. A one-time loan settlement through a check box approach will help medium and small enterprises and retail borrowers.
Banks have agreed to link their interest rates to repo rates. A sum of Rs 70,000 crores will be infused upfront into public sector banks to enable them release Rs 5 lakh crores liquidity in the market. All old tax notices will be addressed by October 1 or uploaded on the system again to increase transparency. Faceless scrutiny of I-T returns will happen from Vijayadashmi 2019. In labor laws, fixed-term employment is being facilitated. Web-based jurisdiction is being done for a free inspection. Inspection has to be uploaded within 48 hours. Compounding of offences will be a priority. The decision of banks to pass on rate cuts through MCLR reduction to benefit all borrowers is expected to be a great relief to the financially stressed Tirupur knitwear garment exporting units in the small and medium sector.
