The former cricketer is the director of Centauries Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd, Indiranagar.

"In this connection it is kindly requested to arrest the employer under Rule 73 of IInd Schedule to Income Tax Act 1961 and Income Tax (CP) Rule 1962 and Section 8B of Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, and produce him before the undersigned on or before 27.12.2024 for further proceedings through your official."

INDIA NEWS | Sat, 21 Dec 2024, 2:34PM IST Party City, which has been struggling since the COVID-19 pandemic, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States on Saturday for the second time in two years as it plans to wind down its retail and wholesale operations. The retailer, which has been in business for over 40 years and sells party supplies from themed decorations to Christmas costumes, said that all of its 700 stores in the country would remain open as it commences a going-out-of-business sale. The company along with certain of its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. In a filing with the court, Party City Holdco listed both assets and liabilities in the range of $1 billion to $10 billion and estimated to have more than 10,000 creditors. Party City Holdco's senior lenders would provide the retailer with financial support necessary to fund operations through the wind-down process, the Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based company said in a statement. Troubled retailers often seek bankruptcy protection during the holiday season to take advantage of any cash infusion provided by recent sales. Party City, which operates both brick-and-mortar stores and an e-commerce website, said it would retain most of its 12,000 employees during the sale period to assist with the wind-down process. The company first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. in January last year. Later that year it reached a plan to exit bankruptcy, which saw a cancellation of about $1 billion in company debt. The company has suffered since the pandemic due to lockdowns and store closures, along with inventory shortages and tight helium supplies due to global supply chain disruptions. Amscan, a designer, manufacturer, and distributor of celebration products that is operated by Party City Holdco, also filed for bankruptcy on Saturday.

INDIA BUSINESS | Sat, 21 Dec 2024, 2:24PM IST The GoM on GST rate rationalisation on Saturday deferred submission of its report, which suggested rate rationalisation in 148 items, to the GST Council, the panel's convenor and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary said. "Will submit the Group of Ministers (GoM) report on rate rationalisation in next meeting of the Council," Chaudhary told reporters here. The GoM had earlier this month arrived at a broad consensus to rejig tax rates on about 148 items, including levying a higher 35 per cent tax on sin goods, like aerated beverages and tobacco products, as compared to 28 per cent at present. It was widely expected that the GoM would submit its report to the GST Council meeting on Saturday. Currently, GST is a four-tier tax structure with slabs at 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent. Luxury and demerit goods are taxed at highest bracket of 28 per cent, while packed food and essential items are at the lowest 5 per cent slab. The GoM had also decided to propose rationalising tax rates

INDIA NEWS | Sat, 21 Dec 2024, 2:20PM IST In a significant move during its 55th meeting in Jaisalmer, the GST Council clarified that transactions involving vouchers will be treated as neither a supply of goods nor services and, consequently, will not face taxation under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework, sources have told ET Bureau. This decision is expected to bring much-needed clarity and resolve longstanding disputes surrounding the taxation of gift vouchers.The decision follows requests from the retail sector for clarity after the Karnataka Authority for Advance Rulings previously ruled that vouchers were taxable as goods in the case of Premier Sales Corp. The new ruling provides relief to companies and retail businesses that frequently use vouchers for promotions.The councils clarification stems from recommendations by its law panel, which stated that vouchersdefined as prepaid instruments under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)are used as consideration to settle obligations and should not be taxed, as told by officials to ET Bureau.Also Read: GST Council ups tax on sale of used cars; says rate on popcorn depends on flavourIf vouchers are not treated as consideration, they would fall under the category of "actionable claims," which are also not taxable. The clarification that transactions in vouchers are not liable to GST will put to rest all disputes regarding the nature of vouchers and confirm that vouchers are mere instruments and not supplies in themselves, Bipin Sapra, Partner at EY, had said.The GST Council also deliberated on other key issues, including tax cuts on insurance products, increasing the GST rate on used electric vehicles, and rationalizing taxes on luxury goods like watches, pens, and shoes.
