Here's the next step in India's job puzzleBy Vrishti BeniwalIndia is trying to improve its jobs statistics with time-use surveys to estimate the value of unpaid work, especially household chores by women.The government plans to start a yearlong exercise in January to survey households on how they spend their time, Debi Prasad Mondal, director general of the National Sample Survey Office, said in an interview in New Delhi. Its findings will be released around June 2020 and the plan is to repeat it every three years.â€œWe will be able to understand how much time is spent in cooking and washing,â€ Mondal said July 26. The findings would give policy makers more information about employment in the economy and how to target welfare programs.The worldâ€™s fastest-growing major economy has some huge data gaps that make it difficult to get a good reading on whatâ€™s happening in key sectors, such as the jobs market, retail and housing. About 700 million Indians, more than twice the population of the U.S., arenâ€™t part of the workforce and their contribution at home isnâ€™t recorded in the national income.Women at WorkGlobally, women work more than men. They perform around 75 percent of the worldâ€™s unpaid care and domestic work, valued at 13 percent of global gross domestic product. If included in national accounts, the unpaid care economy would represent between 15 to over 50 percent of gross domestic product, according to a United Nations report.
India's PSBs face another major challengeSeven government-owned banks are functioning without their chiefs and the term of three other CEOs will end by the middle of August creating a huge leadership void in state-run banks, this too at a time when most of them are grappling with bad loans. Although the Banks Board Bureau has recommended a list 14 candidates for the post of CEOs at PSU banks, the government has not yet cleared the names of bank executives for the top jobs. Bank of Baroda, Syndicate Bank and Indian Bank will lose their heads when their CEOs PS Jayakumar, Melwyn Rego and Kishor Kharat complete their three year-term by the middle of this month. Last month end, Central Bank of India and Canara Bank lost their top bosses too. Rajeev Rishi, CEO of Central Bank of India, left the bank after completing his five-year term, while Rakesh Sharma of Canara Bank turned 60, the retirement age for a CEO in a PSU bank.Rego and Kharat, who are close to 60 years, may not get an extension, although it is not clear if Jayakumar, who is 56, would be eligible for an extension or not. Also, since Rego and Kharat were named in an FIR in the Aircel-Maxis cases, the government may not give them an extension.The CEOâ€™s post at Bank of Maharashtra and Allahabad Bank has been vacant for different reasons. The government has divested the powers of both CEOs -- RP Marathe and Usha Ananthasubramanium -- following inquires by the investigative agencies.The state police took Marathe and executive director RK Gupta into custody for a week after a real estate firm run by DS Kulkarni defaulted to depositors. Even though the cops did not find anything incriminating against Marathe and Gupta, the government directed the board to divest their powers.Similarly, the government also asked the Allahabad Bank board to strip the powers its CEO Usha Ananthasubramanian since she was named in the FIR (first information report) lodged by Punjab National Bank against Nirav Modi for the Rs 13,000 crore fraud. Although it is yet to establish anything against her, the government has directed the bank to take away Usha Ananthasubramanian powers as well as two of PNBâ€™s executive directors -- KV Brahmaji Rao and Sanjiv Sharan.Since April this year, there has been vacancies for the CEOâ€™s post at Andhra Bank, Dena Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank."All of these banks have reported losses last fiscal year and the government should appoint their CEOs immediately so that they are given the responsibility to fix the banks,â€ said a bank analyst.By September end, the term of B Sriram, CEO of IDBI Bank, who comes from State Bank of India, too will come to an end, and it isnâ€™t clear if he would be given a longer run. Similarly, PK Bajaj of United Bank and RK Takkar of UCO Bank too would be ending their terms this year end.The BBB has shortlisted 14 candidates for CEO post and six of them are from State Bank of India. It includes Padmaja Chandru, Mrutunjay Mohapatra, Pallav Mohapatra, J Packirisamy, Karnam Sekar and CV Nageswar.
India expects HSBC data from Switzerland in 10 daysIndia expects to receive data from Swiss authorities on HSBC accounts of its citizens in about 10 days after Switzerland's apex court directions that data be shared with the Indian government, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said today. Serious efforts are on to check black money. Though there are no official estimates of such money stashed in foreign countries a tax demand of Rs 5,447 crore has been made in HSBC undisclosed income of Rs 8,448 crore, Goyal said in the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour. "The Supreme Court of Switzerland has ordered the Swiss government to share with us that data in about a week or ten days ...We are going to get that," the Finance Minister said replying to a supplementary on a question on black money deposited in foreign banks. He said the HSBC list was released somewhere in the year 2010-11 and from 2011-12 to 2014 the government kept trying to make an effort but was stalled by the Swiss government from getting any information on the ground that this is secret information as the source is a stolen source which is illegal. "It is only after this government came in that we sent our Revenue Secretary to Switzerland. We had high-level discussions with the government of Switzerland and a joint statement was issued on October 15, 2015 by which both sides agreed that they will share information with each other and since then we have started getting information on HSBC accounts," the Minister said. He said now the same process has been initiated with other countries and automatic sharing of information pacts are with several countries. On the HSBC list, the minister said that undisclosed income of Rs 8,448 crore was detected with a tax demand of 5,447 crore. Penalty of Rs 1,290 crore has been levied in 164 cases. So far 199 prosecutions complaints have been filed in 84 cases. As regards Panama papers, the Minister said, it contained details of 426 persons and investigations are going on in all cases. "So far 62 invasive actions have been conducted which included seizure action in 50 cases and survey action in 12 cases," the Minister said. Similar prosecution complain cases have been filed in 16 cases and in 33 cases notices under section 10 of the Black Money Act, brought by the Modi government, have been issued, he added. "As an outcome of these investigations so far undisclosed foreign investment to the tune of Rs 1,532.88 crore has been detected. I have paradise papers also," Goyal said and added there is no verifiable data on black money. In reply to anther query Goyal said as part of the drive to crackdown on black money and corruption, the government had to strike off more than 2 lakh shell companies from the companies' register Of these only 5,000 companies came back which proves the robust mechanism and 98 per cent accuracy in the case of shell companies, he said. "Process is on for another 2 lakh shell companies and notices have been served on 80,000," he said adding that based on the reply a drive to clean the system will be undertaken bringing them in Income tax trail. Claiming that it is the present government which launched a crusade against black money, Goyal said the government in its first Cabinet meeting appointed an SIT on black money headed by two eminent judges including Justice MB Shah "The SIT has been tasked with the work to detect where the black money is, quantum of black money and what are steps needed to recover the black money. The important point is, it is only under this government that actually people have started increasingly filing their returns," the Minister said. He said the number of tax filers have increased by over 50 per cent in the last four years, while the quantum of income tax collected has increased by about 75 per cent during the period and leakages that were happening in the previous government were stopped. Quoting a former prime minister without naming him, Goyal said the PM said that for every rupee "which I have to give to a poor man I have to send seven times that amount. When I send Rs 100, Rs 15 reaches the poor. This government has given almost four lakh crore to the poor people in their bank accounts." In reply to another supplementary, the Minister said the crusade against black money has paid off and FDI has shown galloping trends with India's improved image and added that global agencies like Moody's have upgraded India's ratings.
Leadership void at PSU banks with 10 banks headless by this month endSeven government-owned banks are functioning without their chiefs and the term of three other CEOs will end by the middle of August creating a huge leadership void in state-run banks, this too at a time when most of them are grappling with bad loans.

India's spending on health sector has grown: NaddaIndia's expenditure on the health sector has risen from 1.2 per cent of the GDP in 2013-14 to 1.4 per cent in 2017-18, Health Minister J P Nadda said today.He was addressing the concern of members of the Rajya Sabha about the low share of funds spent on healthcare as a percentage of the GDP.Replying to questions during the Question Hour, Nadda said the funds spent by the government, including that by the states, would further increase when the 'Ayushman Bharat' scheme kicks in."The National Health Protection Scheme (now Ayushman Bharat National Health Protection Mission) provides for financial protection of up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year to 10.74 crore families (or 50 crore population) for secondary and tertiary hospitalisation. The cost is borne by the government (Centre and States)," he said.The minister said the work for the launch of the scheme was on and even the Indian Medical Association has been brought on board.He also said it was also envisaged that in the coming years, a comprehensive screening would be carried out for individuals who turn 30. They would be screened for several diseases including diabetes and cancer, as early detection in many cases would not only bring down costs but also help in better cure."Government has increased the total public health expenditure (Centre and States) from Rs 1.49 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2.25 lakh crore in 2017-18," he said quoting the Economic Survey 2017-18."Further, the National Health Policy 2017 envisages raising government health spending to 2.5 per cent of the GDP by 2025 in a time-bound manner. It also envisages increasing state sector health spending to more than 8 per cent of their budget by 2020," he said in his reply tabled in the House.During the Question Hour, the members asked Power Minister R K Singh if the government was aware of issues that could crop up in the integration of renewable power with the rest of the grid.Singh said that two 'green corridors' one for intra- state and another for inter-state transfer of power were under implementation.He also said the government was working on scheme under which farmers would be able to utilise their fallow land for setting up of solar plants. This power can then be sold, enabling farmers to earn more, Singh said.The minister said the government had set up an ambitious target of generation of 175000 MW of renewable energy by 2020 and expressed confidence that the target would be achieved.

Telcos have to comply if govt orders to block apps: COAITelecom operators body COAI today said service providers need to comply if the government orders to block mobile applications but it is extremely difficult to focus and block specific apps."It is a difficult proposition. If it becomes law and if it becomes order from government, obviously we are required to comply," COAI Director General Rajan S Mathews told reporters on the sidelines of a LirneAsia event.Based on a reference from the IT ministry, the Department of Telecom (DoT) has invited views from the industry on technical measures that can be adopted to block mobile apps like Whastapp, Facebook, Telegram, etc."Right now it is in the nature of an exploratory question from the DoT. We are saying if there is appropriate level of harm to national security, harm to the nation or harm to the citizen is put up, under licence condition we are obligated to do so," Mathews said.He said that if DoT issues order then telecom operators will explore how it can be done.The DoT, however, has denied to have any intension of blocking any apps.The Cellular Operators Association of India, whose members include Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Reliance Jio, Facebook, said that blocking an applications can disfranchise many people who use any particular app."Whole area of internet can be shut down inappropriately. Issue is also being raised is that when an app is blocked there are very innocent people that are impacted. Not everybody who uses particular application is going to be involved in inappropriate content," Mathews said.He said that internet has been shutdown in areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat and that is the larger issue to be discussed rather than talking about subset of internet.
