Cut input tax credit period, say lawyers
Ludhiana, October 1 “Traders have started facing financial problems due to 15 months taken in giving input tax credit. This period needs to be reduced,” said members of the Taxation Young Lawyers Association at a special meeting of the association. The long period of input tax credit means that after making payment of VAT, it takes 15 months for a trader to get the credit, resulting in blockage of his money during this period. This duration needs to be reduced to six months, the association asserted. Chairman of the association Sachin Mahendru termed penalty imposed in case of failure to furnish return or annual statement as unjustified. “The penalty of Rs 100 per day and maximum of Rs 10,000 is not justified,” he said at the meeting. The association also emphasised that refunds needed to be returned without any complications. They also said the penalty under VAT should be reduced from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,000 and audit provisions be abolished in case of turnover being more than Rs 50 lakh. Among others who addressed the meeting were Mr Divesh Chopra, general secretary, Mr Jatinder Khurana, president and Mr Ajay Kaushal, joint secretary.

Punjabis are good looking, says Rashmi
Ludhiana, October 1 In an exclusive interview with Ludhiana Tribune today, Rashmi said 60 per cent success of a model depended on grooming and 40 per cent on their dedication. “I am very selective in getting new faces. I believe in quality and not quantity. We have decided to select only five faces from Punjab for the second batch of my school — “The ramp school of fashion modelling”. The school has been doing very well in collaboration with Wigan and Leigh College to groom new faces into ramp scorchers. The auditions will be held in Amritsar on October 5, in Ludhiana on October 6 and in Chandigarh on October 7. “Age is no criteria. We have got models who are just 14 while some are 27. So far, I have organised over 3,000 shows worldwide and it was a great experience. Being in the profession for more than 15 years now, you come to know about the calibre of an individual easily. The selection criteria is very strict and there are absolutely no compromises on that,” she said. On asking how could she manage both family and profession fronts so well, Rashmi replies that it is not an easy job to maintain a balance. “One has to be very realistic and energetic. I have got two daughters. By the grace of Almighty, my husband and family is very understanding and supportive. One of us is always there with the daughters”, she said. Rashmi said though she had worked with models like Sushmita Sen, Priyanshu Chaterjee, Neha Dhupia, Rahul Dev, Udita Goswami, etc., but working with Jessie Randhawa had always been a wonderful experience. “She is a thorough professional and knows how to set the ramp on fire”, she stressed. Rashmi is planning to open branches in Kolkota, Mumbai and Bangalore.

PCMSA demands pay parity
Ludhiana, October 1 The PCMSA has expressed resentment against a section of bureaucracy for allegedly hatching a conspiracy against PCMS doctors by denying 50 per cent DA merger on a par with that of Central doctors and misleading the state government by wrongly comparing their pay with IAS/PCS officers. In a press note issued here, Dr Hardeep Singh, state unit president, and Dr Balwinder Kumar, district general secretary of PCMSA, respectively, said the PCMSA had taken a serious note of the denial of the pay fixation formula after 50 per cent merger of DA on a par with their counterparts at the centre health services to doctors. All pay commissions at the centre and states had recommended more salary for doctors than IAS/PCS cadre, keeping in view the tough profession of a doctor.
