Interest Rates on various Small Savings Schemes for the 1st Quarter of 2016-17 notified
Interest Rates on various Small Savings Schemes for
the 1st Quarter of 2016-17 notified;. Additional Interest Rate spreads which
the Government allows on Small Savings Schemes like PPF, Senior Citizen Savings
Scheme, Sukanya Samridhi Scheme and NSC etc. are being continued and included
in the rates notified today.
Accordingly,
as done in the previous years, the interest rates for various Small Savings
Schemes were due for recalculation in March 2016. As notified on 16th
February, 2016, instead of annual resetting of interest rates for the next
financial year, the interest rates from now on will be reset every quarter
based on the G-Sec yields of the previous three months. Consequently, the
interest rates for various Small Savings Schemes were recalculated with
reference to the G-Sec yields of equivalent maturity for the months December
2015 to February 2016. Based on this calculation, the interest rates on
various Small Savings Schemes for the 1st quarter of 2016-17 have
been notified today. The rates of interest on various small savings schemes for
the First Quarter of Financial Year 2016-17, on the basis of the interest
compounding/payment built-in in the schemes, shall be as under:

Further,
as notified earlier, the additional interest rate spreads which the Government

spread for these Schemes are 25 basis points for PPF, 100 basis points for
Senior Citizen Savings Scheme, 75 basis points for Sukanya Samridhi Scheme, 25
basis points for five year time deposit, 25 basis points for National Savings

The
quarterly revision of interest rates will ensure that the interest rates under
Small Savings Schemes are more dynamically related to the current market rates,
thereby enabling the Banks to move their interest rates in line with current
money market rates.

Government clarifies to the Jewellery Industry
about the issues relating to imposition of Excise Duty on articles of Jewellery
with simplified procedures.
In the General Budget for 2016-17, a nominal excise
duty of 1% [without input tax credit] and 12.5% [with input tax credit] has
been imposed on articles of jewellery with simplified procedures. Salient
features of the simplified procedures for this levy have been explained vide press release issued by the Government on 4th
of March, 2016.
In this
connection, on 17th of March, 2016, a number of representatives of
jewellery industry met Secretary (Revenue), Government of India and Chairman (Central
Board of Excise &Customs) to discuss the concerns regarding imposition of
this levy.
During the meeting, the aforesaid representatives inter-alia raised the
following issues:
a)
Re-imposition of levy will
bring back regime of erstwhile Gold control Act leading to harassment of
Jewellers, especially artisans and small goldsmiths.
b)
This will also result in
visits of Inspectors to the Jewellers thereby bringing back the days of
Inspector Raj.
c)
Who has to take excise registration
and file return?
d) What documents are to be
maintained for excise purposes?
The representatives of industry also requested for increase in exemption limit
of Rs. 6 crore in a year to Rs.10 crore, and urged for an early consideration
of the same.
Regarding concerns relating to procedures and compliance to the levy, the
representatives of industry were informed that all these issues have already
been clarified vide Chairman’s D.O. letter dated 3rd March, 2016 to
field formations and the Press release dated 4th March, 2016, copies
of which were also provided to them.
Further, in the meeting,
the following was clarified:
a) In case of jewellery
manufactured on job work basis, the liability to take registration, pay duty
and to file return is on the principal manufacturer and not on the job worker.
b) Further, exemption from excise
duty up to the clearance limit of Rs. 6 crore is available to a jewellery
manufacturer if his aggregate value of domestic clearances is less than Rs. 12
crore in the preceding financial year.
c) Artisans and job-workersare
not covered within the ambit of this duty and thus they are not required to
take registration, pay duty, file returns and maintain any books of account.
d) A jewellery manufacturer
having turnover less than Rs. 12 crore during the preceding financial year and
less than Rs. 6 crore in the current financial year is not required to take
registration and file return.
e) Application for excise
registration as well as returns can be filled online [https://www.aces.gov.in/].
f)
Directions have been issued to
the field formations to provide hassle free registration within two working
days. There will be no post registration physical verification of the
jeweller’s premises.
g) There is no requirement of
declaring pre-budget stocks. Directions have also been issued barring any
visits to the jeweller’s premises.
h) Jeweller’s private records or
his records for State VAT or for Bureau of Indian Standards (in the case of
hallmarked jewellery) would be accepted for all Central Excise purposes.
