The key issue in the recent tensions between India and China over the Doklam area is China's road construction activities in the disputed territory on June 16th. While India considers Doklam to be part of Bhutan, China sees it as part of Donglang. Efforts are being made at global level to maintain peace but China does not seem interested in de-escalating tensions. China's strategic intentions towards India and support for anti-India elements in Nepal and Pakistan indicate it may be following the teachings of ancient Chinese strategists like Sun Tzu to keep its neighbors under pressure and off balance.

The Delhi High Court has struck down appointments of 21 parliamentary secretaries by the Delhi government. This is seen as a legal blow rather than an administrative issue for the AAP government.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

which made this evening
more spiritual.
On Monday morning, sen-
ior BJP leaders led by Union
Minister Ananth Kumar met
Governor R.Vajubhai Vala and
submitted a memorandum to
him stating that chief minister
Siddaramaih was trying to
misuse the anti-corruption
bureau.They marched from
the Vidhana Soudha to the Raj
Bhavan in a show of strength.
This comes couple of days
after a senior KAS officer H
Basavarajendra filed a com-
plaint with the Governor that
he was being pressurised to
testify falsely against former
Chief Minister BS
Yeddyurappa in the Dr
Shivarama Karanth Layout
de-notification case.
In a letter to Governor
Vajubhai Vala, the officer had
alleged that the ACB was put-
ting pressure on him to give a
statement against
Yeddyurappa.He had also
claimed that he was named as
an accused in the case because
he refused to do so. The ACB
had recently filed FIRs against
Yeddyurappa, accusing him of
de-notifying 257 acres of land
from a preliminary notifica-
tion of 3,546 acres, meant for
the formation of the Dr K
Shivaram Karanth Layout,
“bypassing” the de-notifying
committee’s approval, when
he was the chief minister
between May, 2008 and July,
2011. In a counter to his alle-
gations, the ACB DGP, M N
Reddi, had released a state-
ment, saying it was a feeble
attempt by Basavarajendra to
build a false defence.
Meanwhile Several BJP lead-
ers in Karnataka on Sunday
protested at mysore bank cir-
cle and demanded the resigna-
tion of Chief Minister
Siddaramaiah for “misusing”
the Anti-Corruption Bureau
(ACB) by forcing it to file
“false” cases against opposi-
tion leaders, including B S
Yeddyurappa, the state unit
chief of the saffron party.
Those who demanded the
chief minister’s resignation
included former deputy chief
minister R Ashok and MP
Shobha Karandlaje. Union
Minister Ananth kumar told
media persons that they (gov-
ernment) has foisted a false
case and charges on our
leader, the state president and
former CM.They have used
the ACB to achieve this we
have brought to the notice of
the governor he added .
Jagadish shettar, lop assembly,
told media persons that I have
a poser to the ACB.During the
last one year,over 25 cases
have been filed against the
CM.In how many instances
has the ACB quizzed the
CM,filed the FIR and issued
summons to the CM he added.
K S Eshwarappa Lop Council,
told media persons that we
had opposed the creation of
the ACB.We had said that at
point of time that the ACB
would become an agent.This
(ACB move) comes after raids
were conducted at DK
Shivakumar's residence this is
move to cover up he added.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh
for rape.
Security personnel walk
past a vehicle burnt in vio-
lence following Dera Sacha
Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram
Rahim’s conviction in
Panchkula on Friday.
An uneasy calm prevailed
in Punjab and Haryana on
Saturday after the widespread
violence witnessed the previ-
ous day following Dera
Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet
Ram Rahim’s conviction in
Panchkula. Here are the latest
developments in events:
1. The Army along with
the police and paramilitary
forces has put up barricades
at entry points of the Dera
premises, where tens of thou-
sands of Dera followers,
including women and
childen, stayed put despite an
appeal by authorities to
leave.
2. Home minister Rajnath
Singh convened a high-level
meeting at his residence to
discuss and review the situa-
tion in Punjab and Haryana

ing. Home secretary Rajiv

Rajiv Jain were in attendance
at the meeting.
3. Dera chief 's 'Z-plus'
security cover was with-
drawn after his conviction in
a rape case, Haryana Chief
Secretary D S Dhesi said
today. He also denied any
special treatment being given
to theDera chief in a Rohtak
jail after being held guilty in
a 15- year-old rape case by a
CBI court in Panchkula yes-
terday.
4. A day after large scale
violence broke out over the
conviction of Dera chief
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh,
authorities in Punjab relaxed
curfew in Patiala, Bathinda
and Ferozepur towns for four
hours. In Haryana, curfew

attendant has been provided
and there's no AC in the cell
he is lodged in," said KP

Business Challenge 2017 competitionNew Delhi : The tragic rail accident in Muzaffarnagar
district of Uttar Pradesh has again brought into focus
issues in rail safety. Indian Stainless-Steel Development
Association (ISSDA) has reiterated importance of railway
coach designs to avoid loss of lives involved in train acci-
dents. “If all the railway coaches in the country could be
made of stainless steel instead of carbon steel, it can bring
down the number of lives lost in train accidents signifi-
cantly,” asserted Mr KK Pahuja, President, ISSDA. As per
provisional government figures, train accidents claimed
122 lives in 2015-16 and 238 in 2016-17. The Anil
Kakodkar High-Level Safety Review Committee in
March, 2012 mandated a complete switchover of railway
coaches from ICF coaches to the much safer LHB coach-
es within 5 years. Currently, Indian Railways use stainless
steel coaches in LHB designs only for Rajdhani, Shatabdi
and other premium trains. LHB coaches are designed to be
anti-telescopic, which means that they do not pile up over
each other in the event of derailment. Stainless Steel
coaches are stronger and absorb more energy during col-
lision; they can withstand considerable impact without
fracturing. Since it progressively crumples from the point
of impact, risk of injury and fatalities are drastically
reduced. The use of stainless steel in passenger coaches is
a common practice in developed economies such as USA,
Canada, Brazil, Japan, Korea & Australia and many East
Asian countries. Other than trains, even buses and trams
extensively use stainless steels in their outer panels.
Stainless steel coaches also ensure safety and reliability
through super fire and corrosion resistance. The intrinsic
weight of vehicle decreases, thereby increasing its load
carrying capacity and fuel efficiency. In case of accidents,
stainless steels undergo lesser deformation, which further
helps in rescue operations.
Sr. Leader of Bhartiya

New Delhi / The independ-
ence day of 2017 ended with a
victorious and proud news for
India with a team from Delhi
winning the coveted Asia
Pacific winner title in Google
Online Marketing Competition
(GOMC) 2017. The team
belongs to University of Delhi
and it is the first time for a team
from Delhi to win this chal-
lenge regionally in the glorious
history of 10 years of GOMC.
The team comprising of three
members Prakriti Sharma,
Ankita Grewal and Raghav
Shadija along with their profes-
sor Ginmunlal Khongsai, part-
nered with a Noida based tour
and travel company, Tour My
India Pvt. Ltd. and competed
with more than 600 professors
and 12,000 students from over
65 countries. The team captain
Prakriti along with their profes-
sor and other team member
Ankita belong to Maitreyi
College of DU. Google online
Marketing Challenge marked
its 10th edition in 2017 suc-
cessfully with witnessing
“some of the most impressive
work seen in the history of
GOMC” as stated in official
Google student blog. The
Google Online Marketing
Challenge is a unique opportu-
nity for students to experience
and create online marketing
campaigns using Google
AdWords. Over 120,000 stu-
dents and professors from
almost 100 countries have par-
ticipated in the past 10 years.
With a $250 AdWords adver-
tising budget provided by
Google, students develop and
run an online advertising cam-
paign for a business or non-
profit organization over a three
week period. The teams that
develop and communicate the
most successful campaigns win
awesome prizes, including
trips to Google offices. As stat-
ed by Prakriti, she got to know
about the opportunity while
some regular Google surfing in
November 2016 and decided to
participate in it.After finalizing
the team, she started working
on team management while
having group studies. By
January 2017, the team started
visiting to various businesses
in Delhi NCR while having
telephonic conversations with
many from all over India. After
one month, they finalized Tour
My India as their business part-
ner. From getting the professor
on board to coordinating with
their business partner and
strategizing the campaign
while struggling with their reg-
ular college and upcoming
final exams, the team managed
very well and finally delivered
a successful campaign based
on 1289 keywords and 572 ad
copies and exceeded their ini-
tial expectations by 1500% for
total conversions and 954% for
ROI. Their highly targeted
strategies worked and they
emerged as winner by being
only undergraduates students.
The most iconic thing of the
team was that each member
was from different background
and that helped them in bring-
ing the best on table.

NDMC : Environmentally under the aus-
pices of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh
"Loss of lives lost in train accidents can
be reduced significantly“: ISSDA Chief
6. Binod Kumar Singh
New Delhi, August 18,
2017: More number of young-
sters from across India are
approaching the union govern-
ment to set up startups in
north-eastern states under the
‘Startup India, Standup India,’
programme, union minister Dr
Jitendra Singh said at an
ASSOCHAM event held in
New Delhi today. “Any young-
ster who decides to set up start-
ups in north-east will in addi-
tion to all the provisions avail-
able in the Government of
India programme will also get
initial venture capital fund
from North-East ministry, so
that they do not have any
financial liability,” said Mr
Singh while inaugurating the
ASSOCHAM World
Entrepreneurs Day
Summit. The minister of state
in Prime Minister’s Office also
said that the government is
building necessary infrastruc-
ture to promote north-eastern
states as a favourite destination
of startup ventures in the coun-
try. He also termed the ‘Startup
India, Standup India,’ pro-
gramme as the most unique
programme in the world as it
offers unprecedented incen-
tives like three years of tax
holiday and three months of
exit period. The minister said
that it is due to present govern-
ment’s efforts that a big head-
way had been made and entre-
preneurship potential of India
which was not being realised
earlier at any level of the soci-
ety is now being
realised. “That kind of milieu
has been provided by the pres-
ent government as the apti-
tudes were there but motiva-
tion was lacking, perhaps
infrastructural difficulties were
there,” said Dr Singh. He also
said that a reverse brain drain
has been happening in India
during the course of past cou-
ple of years. “You must have
realised that as a result of
proactive outreach by the
Prime Minister himself, it is
not only the foreign investors
who are now looking up to
India as a destination, many of
those who had left India in
search of green pastures and
settled abroad are now looking
forward to opportunities to get
back to India,” said Dr
Singh. “This is the phenome-
non that I have observed only
in the last 2-3 years,” he added.
“So this itself is a very
impartial evidence of the kind
of change in the business
atmosphere which is being
witnessed in India and I am
sure in the years to come this
country is going to be one of
the most attractive destinations
for startups and entrepre-
neurs,” further said the minis-
ter. He also said that India has
visibly risen so far as entrepre-
neurship was concerned. “We
have challenges of population,
infrastructure, heterogeneity
and accessibility but what is
heartening is that in last three
years, there has been a honest,
sincere and sustained effort to
overcome even these hassles.”

Srinagar : On 26 August
2017 , Saturday around 4:00
a. m the sky of South
Kashmir's pulwama echoed
with the gunshots of bullets .
8 security personnel of the
forces were martyred includ-
ing 4 men of CRPF and 4
belonging to the Jammu and
Kashmir Police. Two of the
CRPF personnel were mar-
tyred when they were trying
to defuse an improvised
explosive devices planted by
the terrorists. The Jaesh - e -
mohammad has taken the
responsibility of the terrorist
attack. The 3 terrorists
involved have been neu-
tralised by the Armed Forces.
Lt General J S Sandhu ,
general officer commanding
of Srinagar based XV corps
said that , " it was a fidayeen
attack . The terrorists entered
the district police line after
which they tried to approach
towards the residential quarter
but the security forces quickly
swung into action and ensured
that the families of the police
personnel living in the com-
plex were taken out safely. "
The attack has once again
filled the people with rage and
anger demanding neutralisa-
tion of terrorists and eradica-
tion of terrorism from the
country.
Eight security personnel
martyred in PulwamaNEW DELHI: There may be an end in sight
to the Doklam standoff indicated the external
affairs ministry (MEA) on Monday as it
announced that both Indian and Chinese troops
are slowly being pulled out from the face-off
site. "...expeditious disengage-
ment of border personnel at the
face-off site at Doklam has
been agreed to and is on-
going," said a statement from
the ministry. The MEA is call-
ing this process the 'Doklam
D i s e n g a g e m e n t
Understanding' and it comes
after weeks of sustained diplomacy. The move
comes ahead of the Brics summit, which will
be attended by leaders from five countries,
including PM Narendra Modi, in the Chinese
city of Xiamen in early September. It also
comes before a crucial 19th party congress in
China where Xi Jinping expects to be "cleared"
for another five years, after which he will
choose the core group of leaders who will rule
China, also for the next five years. India and
China have been keeping diplomatic channels
open ever since the border incursion by China
on June 16, in what's called the
tri-junction area at Doklam,
which is in Bhutan. This,
despite strident rhetoric, espe-
cially from China, and espe-
cially from its state-backed
media. The external affairs
ministry said that over this
period of time, New Delhi has
conveyed its views to Beijing. "In recent
weeks, India and China have maintained diplo-
matic communication in respect of the incident
at Doklam. During these communications, we
were able to express our views and convey our
concerns and interests," the ministry's state-
ment added.

nations have been developed keeping in mind
the health factor along with the taste which
today’s discerning consumer demands.”

New Delhi : India’s major
telecom services provider, the
Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Limited (BSNL), has of late
emerged from its shabby past
under the dynamic leadership
of present CMD Anupam

ments the BSNL CMD was

organisation DigiAnalysys in
New Delhi with the active
support and cooperation from
leading players in the telecom
industry. BSNL was awarded

10. BANGLADESH: - Thousands of
fearful Rohingya Muslim and
Rakhine Buddhist civilians fled the
worst fighting to grip Myanmar's
northwest in five years, with 104 peo-
ple killed and the United Nations and
international aid groups forced to pull
out some staff.
The mass escape from the northern
part of Rakhine state was triggered by
widespread coordinated offensives by
Rohingya insurgents wielding sticks,
knives and homemade bombs in
attacks on Friday on 30 police posts
and an army base.
The violence marks a dramatic
escalation of a conflict that has sim-
mered in the region since last
October, when a similar but much
smaller Rohingya attack prompted a
brutal military response dogged by
allegations of human rights abuses.
The treatment of about 1.1 million
Muslim Rohingya in mainly Buddhist
Myanmar has emerged as the biggest
challenge for national leader Aung
San Suu Kyi, who has condemned the
attacks and commended the security
forces.
The Nobel peace laureate has been
accused by some Western critics of
not speaking out for the long-perse-
cuted Muslim minority, and of
defending the army's counter-offen-
sive after the October attacks.
Thousands of Rohingya - mostly
women and children - fleeing the vio-
lence sought to ford the Naf river sep-
arating Myanmar and Bangladesh and
cross the land border.
Some of the refugees who had
escaped previous pogroms in
Myanmar said Bangladeshi police had
warned them not to help the new
arrivals.
"They told us, 'If anyone gives
them shelter, we will arrest you and
send you to the other side. So, out of
fear, we are not allowing any new-
comers," Mohammad Yunus, a
Rohingya Muslim, said in a makeshift
refugee camp near the border.
Despite these measures, about
2,000 people have been able to cross
into Bangladesh since Friday, accord-
ing to estimates by Rohingya refugees
living in the makeshift camps in
Bangladesh.
At the no-man's land between the
two countries, Reuters reporters saw
dozens of Rohingya women, most
wearing the all-enveloping burqa,
seated in a cramped area under a few
black plastic sheets shielding them
from the harsh sun.
Gunfire rang out on the Myanmar
side of the border on Saturday and
Sunday. For years, the Rohingya have
endured apartheid-like conditions in
northwestern Myanmar, where they
are denied citizenship and face severe
travel restrictions. Many Myanmar
Buddhists regard them as illegal
immigrants from Bangladesh.

HASGULLA
Thousands Flee Fighting in Myanmar's Northwest
I S L A M A B A D :
Pakistan's former presi-
dent Asif Ali Zardari has
been acquitted by an anti-
corruption court in an old
corruption case in which
he was accused of pos-
sessing illegal assets.
Zardari's counsel Farooq
H Naek requested for
acquittal of Zardari and
Justice Khalid Mahmood
Ranjha National
Accountability Bureau
(NAB) court accepted it.
He said that the most of
the documents presented
against 62-year-old
Zardari were in photo-
copies and unacceptable.
He also said that most of
the witnesses said that
they did not remember
most of the details as it
was an old case.
Finally, the judge
quashed the case and
acquitted the former presi-
dent yesterday. The case
was launched in 1999 but
quashed in 2007 along
with five more such cases
against Zardari after a
political deal between his
now slain wife Benazir
Bhutto and former dictator
Gen Pervez Musharraf.
However, the Supreme
Court rejected the deal
and consequent amnesty
in 2009 and ordered a
probe but it could not start
a case against Zardari as
he enjoyed immunity as
president.
The case was again
started in 2015 and finally
decided in favour of
Zardari. It was last of the
six corruption cases
against Zardari and he has
been now acquitted in all
of them. Zardari's daugh-
ter Bakhtawar took to
social media to celebrate
the verdict: "While IK
(Imran Khan) and NS
(Nawaz Sharif) hide from
NAB, my father Asif Ali
Zardari's last pending case
has just been acquitted.
Faced 11+ years without a
single conviction".
Pakistan court quashes corruption case against Zardari
Pramila Jayapal, the first
woman Indian-American to be
elected to the US House of
Representatives, slammed the
white supremacy movement, and
US president Donald Trump for
not doing anything to contain it.
Trump, she said, has lit a fire
under the White supremacists.
"Now they feel they have the
licence to say what they feel like.
In the streets of the US, white
supremacists chanting anti-
Semitism and holding Nazi flags
and doing Heil Hitler salutes is
terrifying," she said.
Jayapal is in Bengaluru to meet
industry leaders, government offi-
cials, and her parents, who now
live in the city. On Saturday, she
met Karnataka IT, BT & tourism
minister Priyank Kharge. Jayapal,
a Democrat from Washington,
said Trump's rhetoric had also
made it much harder to move any-
thing forward on immigration.
"It's ruining our ability to do
important work with the rest of
the world," she said. She said the
Republicans had not brought any
bill seriously to the Congress yet
because they know the bills might
not be passed. She said there was
general support in the US for
immigration and no Republican
could hope to win an election
purely on an anti-immigration
platform. Instead of passing legis-
lation, Trump has been trying to
take administrative actions to
limit immigration to high-skilled
professionals.
It’s terrifying to see Nazi flags
& salutes in the US: Jayapal

NEW DELHI: On Sunday,
almost a year on from claim-
ing the highest honour in the
history of Indian badminton
(a silver at the Rio Olympics),
Indian badminton queen PV
Sindhu claimed silver at the
World Badminton
Championships after narrow-
ly being beaten by Japan's
Nozomi Okuhara 19-21, 22-
20, 20-22.
In an epic, gruelling final
that clocked 110 minutes,
Sindhu lost the first game but
came back superbly to claim
the second with a scarcely
believable 73-shot rally. In
the dying stages, however,
Rio Olympics bronze medal-
ist Okuhara overtook Sindhu
to win gold.
Sindhu's silver made it two
individual medals for India at
the World Championships - a
first - with Saina Nehwal tak-
ing home bronze. Following
her match, Sindhu spoke to
the media in Glasgow.
Excerpts.
On how the final ebbed
and flowed
It was anybody's game. Of
course, it is upsetting to lose
because from the first set each
point was really important for
both of us, and even though
she was leading it was never
over from either side. There
were very long rallies and
even she was not leaving any
shuttles. Each point was
equally tough, but in the third
game when it was 20-20 it
was anybody's game, I felt. I
have no words. It's been real-
ly upsetting because anybody
would aim for the gold, and
that last moment just changed
everything. I'm happy with
silver, but that feeling is
always there.
Well, she was never easy
but each time we play against
each other, as I said, it's never
easy. This was a tough game
with tough rallies going on,
and we never left any shuttle
from either side. I never took
her easy. I was prepared for
the match to be really long,
but unfortunately I lost. It
wasn't my day. On the 73-shot
rally in the second game I
don't feel that particular rally
was a big rally. Every rally
was equally long and there
were too many shots from
both sides. She was tired, I
was tired but still we were
falling this side and that.
Overall, it was a good match.
I just have to say this. It was a
good match, but just not my
day.
Happy with silver, but upsetting to lose: PV Sindhu
PALLEKELE: India pacer
Jasprit Bumrah says the zeal
to learn something new with
each game has helped him
survive in international
cricket Bumrah, who took a
career-best five for 27 in the
third ODI on Sunday, further
said that he has learnt a lot
from Sri Lankan ace Lasith
Malinga while spending time
at Mumbai Indians.
"As a bowler you have to
constantly have to learn new
things and that's been my
main aim all the time. This is
my first visit to Sri Lanka
and I have never played here
so it is always a challenge to
play in different conditions,"
said Bumrah after India beat
Sri Lanka by six wickets to
seal the five-match series 3-
0.
"I look to do that (keep
learning) and keep asking
questions to seniors as to
what experience they have
gained for so many years.
This basic change has come
in me (as a bowler) because I
always learn nowadays. As a
youngster you don't know
what place you have to go
and perform," he said.
Being in regular touch
with someone like a Malinga
has also contributed to his
growth as a fast bowler.
"He has been there with
Mumbai Indians when I was
a 19- year-old in 2013. I was
a kid who didn't play first-
class cricket so talking to
him and learning from him
has been always valuable.
"He has been there for 3-4
years so I have learnt a lot
from him. I think every bit of
knowledge that you get is
very important."
The young pacer has had
varied roles in the Indian
team, starting out as first-
change bowler, to becoming
a death-overs' specialist, to
now sharing the new ball
with Bhuvneshwar Kumar
consistently. Bumrah is fine
with bowling at any time of
the match.

New Delhi, : A musical folktale from across the
sea was presented by a special troupe of Indian and
Korean teenager artists in coordination with Korean
Cultural Centre India (KCCI) at Delhi NCR schools.
12 Korean artists of ‘Theatre Seoul’ group from
South Korea and 02 artists from India performed the
famous South Korean Folk Tale ‘Heungbu, Nolbu’.
This one hour show at each school made students
learn the values of life, importance of truth and
ethics. This was staged at Father Agnel School Noida
(800 Students) and New Delhi (1600 students),
Apeejay School Noida (1600 Students) and
American Embassy School, New Delhi.
The event was performed by teenager artists. The
play was based on a Korean folktale which echoes in
every culture. The Indo-Korean troupe of children
was specially chosen and trained for this production.
The musical event was about the story of two broth-
ers who had contradictory natures. It was also pre-
miered in Korea recently and won critical praise. The
Artistic Director Natia Lee and Director, Kevin Kim
painted Korea on stage with resplendent traditional
costumes, musical instruments and the very Korean
way of perfection. Two Indian actors took important
roles in the story to highlight the brotherhood of
India and Korea and collaboration in the production.
It was a visual treat with a peaceful message
which was thoroughly enjoyed by students. The mes-
sage of forgiving and moving ahead together in life
was showcased in such manner was thoughtful.
Mr Kim Kum-pyoung – Director KCCI said that
fighting is easy but compromising, bringing a win -
win situation needs efforts and hard work. Peace
making is must and children need to learn and devel-
op this skill from their childhood, this will help in
building the nations. Principle of Fr Agnel School –
Father J.A. Carvalo said praised the artist’s hard
work, performance and choreography but he praised
the message above all. India and Korea both the
countries have a culture which believes in harmony.
Mr. S. C. Tiwari - principal - Apeejay School,
Noida said that the play was outstanding. The most
significant about the play was the story behind it,
which shows that both Korea and India have similar
values rooted in them. “I liked the program very
much. This story told us many moral values that we
should be in brotherhood, and never tease and dis-
criminate anyone. It was very good story”, said
Janith from 7th grade of Father Agnel School Noida.

With 250,000 printing companies,
India is considered to be the leading
country, but now after GST the printers
of the country are confused with dissim-
ilar notifications. On one end as per the
officers of Finance Ministry that ‘Now’
printing is considered to be ‘Supply of
Services’. It is therefore, wherever the
printing units are engaged in producing
customized printed material, they
would be treated as “Supply of Printing
Services” and would be subjected to
GST rates as per serial No 26 & 27 of
Notification 11 – Central Tax (Rates)
dated 28.06.2017 i.e. 18%. Except for
printing of Books, newspapers, journals
and periodicals where only content is
supplied by the publisher and the phys-
ical inputs including paper used for
printing belongs to the printer the GST
is 12%. While using the App GST Rate
Finder App of CBEC, if you type print-
ed brochures, leaflets it shows HSN
4901 with 5% GST. Mean it is under
‘Supply of Goods’ it is difficult to
understand how the officials of FM is
confusing by clarifying that these prod-
ucts of a printer falls under ‘Supply of
Services’. On the other end the GST
rates given under chapter 48 and 49 in
the notification no.1/2017-integrated
tax (rate) issued on 28 June 2017 are
contrary. No clarification is given by the
government till date as to which GST
rates are to be charged by the printers.
250,000 printing companies of India are
confused about the implementation of
these two different notifications. In this
regard it is not out of place to mention
that carrying out an intermediate pro-
duction process as job work in relation
to ‘Printing’ is exempted from the serv-
ice tax (ref. Notification No. 12/2012
dated 17th March, 2012. It is not clear
as if the exemption given to ‘Printing
industry’ is still inforce.
There can’t be two yardsticks, if
printing is not under ‘Supply of Goods’
then why items like printing of cata-
logue, brochure, posters, and many
other are given under chapter 48 and 49
in the notification no.1/2017-integrated
tax (rate) issued on 28 June 2017? For
any printed item the ‘contents’ will
always be from the owner/customer,
take the example of brochure, poster,
catalogue or any other item. Suppose if
there is an owner of the ‘content’who is
a printer also in that case to whom he
will bill such items? Then why such
details are given in the chapter 49? If
printing is under ‘Supply of Services’
there is no legitimacy of GST rates
given under chapter 48 and 49 in the
notification no.1/2017-integrated tax
(rate) issued on 28 June 2017. It is
therefore for the sake of clarity either
Chapter 49 may be removed or printed
products may be classified to be
‘Supply of Goods’. In an recent clarifi-
cation issued by the CBEC and
Customs & Comm. Taxes Dept., pub-
lished in various newspapers it is given

Printers of India in Dilemma
UClean', India's first
organized chain of tech-
enabled laundry and home
cleaning store was founded
by Arunabh Sinha in October
2016.It helps in making laun-
dry convenient, non cumber-
some and time saving.
Recently UClean has joined
hands with “Dhobi Samjh
Sehyog program” where
UClean has invited all the
Dhobi’s to come and use
automated laundry machines
for washing.
This initiative by UClean
is for the development of
Dhobi Samaj where they are
offering them perks like fixed
good salary, International
level training and certifica-
tion, respectable job, devel-
opment and enablement of
Dhobi Samaj and many more
According to Arunabh Sinha,
Founder, UClean Laundry,
“This would be assured
monthly revenue on the back
of a fledging membership
economy. On the other hand,
dhobis can get rid of the daily
manual labour and work on a
highly incentivized revenue
structure with the operators,
relieving them of all the asso-
ciated risks and operational
costs.” In the current phase of
the industry, an attempt to
replace dhobis has proved to
be a costly proposition. The
need of the hour for the laun-
dry industry is to work on an
inclusive model.
One where the technology
led on-demand laundry start-
ups enables local dhobis
instead of replacing them.
This strategic partnership will
benefit the organized laundry
players in multiple ways-
most importantly by lowering
customer acquisition costs.
Local dhobis would potential-
ly double up as pick-and-drop
team thereby reducing time,
energy and resources spent on
developing the logistics.
UClean Laundry focuses on
building an inclusive business
model with local dhobi at the
heart of it.
The companies have
extended membership pro-
grams for the dhobi commu-
nity and have on-boarded
over 20 odd dhobis across
several locations on a pan
India basis. This has greatly
benefitted UClean as it have
already catered to over 5000
customers in a short span of 5
months – a sizeable percent-
age of this customer base has
been acquired through the
relationship dhobis have built
over decades.

700 Indian students
appeal to Sushma
Swaraj for help
HYDERABAD: As many
as 700 students from India who
have got admission into vari-
ous German universities to
pursue post-graduate courses
run the risk of losing a precious
academic year and admission
cancellation as there are no
visa slots available in Mumbai
to seek a visa. For the last two
months, the students have been
on edge and tenterhooks as
they are unable to get slots,
mainly because of the huge
rush and no additional arrange-
ments made at the German
consulate in Mumbai for the
visa interview. Desparate stu-
dents have sought the interven-
tion of union external affairs
minister Sushma Swaraj for
help.
