India-US trade deal: Donald Trump administration may cut tariff to below 20%; putting India in favourable position against other countries
This is an AI image. United States is working toward an interim trade agreement with India that could reduce proposed tariffs to below 20%, giving the country a more favorable position compared to other countries in the region. Unlike many nations, India is not expected to receive a formal tariff hike notice this week, and the agreement may be announced through an official statement, Bloomberg reported, quoting sources. The proposed interim trade deal between the two nations would allow both the sides to continue negotiations, giving India time to address unresolved issues before a broader agreement expected later this year, the source added. India, US near trade deal. What happens next if New Delhi joins Trump's shortlist? The planned agreement is likely to set a baseline tariff of under 20%, down from the 26% initially proposed, with provisions to allow further adjustments as part of a final pact. However, the exact timeline for the interim deal remains uncertain. If finalised, India would likely join a select group of nations that have reached trade arrangements with the Trump administration. In contrast, several other countries were hit with surprise tariff hikes of up to 50% this week, ahead of the August 1 deadline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 기미, 레이저말고 이렇게 해보세요 에스테틱최원장 Undo India is pushing for a more favourable deal than the one signed with Vietnam, which included 20% tariffs. Vietnam, caught off guard by the high rate, is now seeking a revision. So far, only the UK has officially signed trade deals with the Trump administration. Earlier on Thursday, Trump told NBC News that he is considering imposing blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most trading partners who haven't yet received specific rates. Currently, the baseline tariff for most US trade partners stands at 10%. For Asian countries, announced rates so far include 20% for Vietnam and the Philippines, and as high as 40% for Laos and Myanmar. Despite being among the earliest to initiate trade discussions this year, India-US relations have shown recent tensions. While Trump indicates an imminent agreement, he has also suggested additional tariffs regarding India's BRICS membership. An Indian negotiation team is expected to visit Washington soon to push forward trade talks. India has already made its final offer to the Trump administration and outlined its non-negotiable positions. The key sticking points remain, including the US demand for India to allow genetically modified (GM) crops, something New Delhi has firmly opposed, citing concerns for farmers, while the other unresolved issues include agricultural non-tariff barriers and regulatory hurdles in the pharmaceutical sector, the source added.

GST notices based on UPI data: Tax department
BENGALURU: Following reports of notices issued to small traders by the Commercial Tax Department, the state government clarified on Friday that the action was based on data collected from Unified Payments Interface (UPI) service providers to ensure compliance with Goods and Services Tax (GST) laws. Under the GST Act, in force since July 1, 2017, suppliers with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 40 lakh (for goods) or Rs 20 lakh (for services) are required to register for GST. This turnover includes both taxable and exempt goods and services, although tax is applicable only on taxable items. The department said while essential items like bread are exempt from GST, packaged snacks attract a 5% tax. It said UPI-based transaction data from 2021–22 to 2024–25 showed that many traders had received over Rs 40 lakh via UPI alone, excluding cash and other payment methods, indicating even higher total turnover. Based on this data, the department issued notices to traders. ENS

Selling SBI shares worth Rs 25000 cr part of privatisation: BEFI
Thiruvananthapuram, July 12 (UNI) Bank Employees Federation of India has alleged that the Centre's move to sell shares of State Bank of India (SBI) worth Rs 25,000 crore SBI) is an open attempt to privatize the bank in a phased manner sacrificing national interests. "In 2017, the bank had sold 522 million shares. This reduced the government's stake in the bank to 56.92 percent. Now, with the completion of the targeted share sale, the government's stake will diminish below 55 percent," BEFI vice president Saji Varghese said. "The sale of shares through qualified institutional placement has been reported by national media," he added. "Despite the vacancies of about one lakh employees and officers, the outsourcing of jobs and the deployment of daily wage workers without making them permanent is a prelude to privatization... After the budget presentation, the Union Finance Minister had announced that government would sell shares of public sector banks including SBI. Other public sector banks are also preparing for share sale" he said. The privatization of the country's largest public sector bank, SBI, will have far-reaching consequences. Public sector banks serve as a protective shield for the Indian economy. It is this protective shield that is being undermined through bank privatization, he stated. "As banks come under the control of corporates, services for the common people will get affected and services will be limited to the elite class," he added. The SBI plans to support loan growth, strengthen its balance sheet and meet regulatory requirements. It's also the first time since 2017 that the lender, majority owned by the government, tapped the equity market. UNI DS AAB RKM
