IN THIS ISSUE……… MSME News Update…………………………………………...…………….……....... 01 1. Govt. will address concerns of SMEs, exporters on GST: Adhia The government is looking to ease the compliance burden for small businesses and ensure they are not adversely impacted by GST, while also working out a solution for easier refund of taxes paid by exporters, revenue secretary Hasmukh Adhia said. Adhia also indicated to TOI that petrol and diesel may not be included in GST immediately, while pointing out that levy on oil products in other countries was higher than the VAT or the GST rate. Amid criticism from various quarters, he acknowledged that there would be some transition pain but added that the government and the GST Council were flexible in addressing concerns. “For honest taxpayers, there cannot be anything better than this because GST puts a premium on honesty. At the same time, it will make it very difficult for dishonest businessmen to evade taxes and that's why there is some opposition. Those who were not paying taxes will face some pain initially because, for the first time, they have to put everything on record, maintain proper books of accounts and file returns, “he said.

Determinants and Consequences of Bureaucrat Effectiveness: Evidence
Determinants and Consequences of Bureaucrat Effectiveness: Evidence from the Indian Administrative Service∗ Marianne Bertrand, Robin Burgess, Arunish Chawla and Guo Xu† October 21, 2015 Abstract Do bureaucrats matter? This paper studies high ranking bureaucrats in India to examine what determines their effectiveness and whether effective- ness affects state-level outcomes. Combining rich administrative data from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) with a unique stakeholder survey on the effectiveness of IAS officers, we (i) document correlates of individual bureaucrat effectiveness, (ii) identify the extent to which rigid seniority-based promotion and exit rules affect effectiveness, and (iii) quantify the impact of this rigidity on state-level performance. Our empirical strategy exploits variation in cohort sizes and age at entry induced by the rule-based assignment of IAS officers across states as a source of differential promotion incentives. JEL classifica- tion: H11, D73, J38, M1, O20 ∗This project represents a colloboration between the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), the University of Chicago and London School of Economics. We are grateful to Padamvir Singh, the former Director of LBSNAA for his help with getting this project started.

I also congratulate other members of the Bureau on their election. I assure you of our full cooperation and support. We would also like to thank the Secretary General for his comprehensive report on "Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism". Mr. Chairman, Terrorism today constitutes the most serious challenge to international peace and security. Today, terrorists are not only globalized, but are waging an asymmetric warfare against the international community. India condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. No cause or grievance could justify terrorism. We need to adopt a holistic approach that ensures zero-tolerance towards terrorism. We need to constantly expand the scope of the legal instruments taking into account the changing nature of the threat and expand enforcement efforts to destroy safe havens for terrorists, their financial flows and support networks. Mr. Chairman, The UN has played a seminal role in combating terrorism and capacity building of member States. India strongly supports all efforts, especially within the purview of the United Nations that strengthen international and regional cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
