GST Council to focus on auto refunds, swifter ITC, fewer notices

The government is preparing to transition the GST regime toward a trust-based tax administration. This shift includes introducing sweeping decriminalisation for tax offenses, suggesting fewer notices for invoice mismatches and doing away with arrests without evidence or prior to prosecution, aiming for enforcement to work through money rather than custody.

ServiceNow unveils new AI tools to speed enterprise automation

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) ServiceNow on Tuesday launched AI Workflow Factory and Autonomous Engineer, two new solutions aimed at helping companies identify where artificial intelligence can improve operations and deploy AI-powered workflows across their organisations. The announcement was made at the company's World Forum event in Mumbai, where ServiceNow said the new offerings are designed to address operational challenges caused by fragmented systems and legacy infrastructure. According to the company, enterprises can use AI Workflow Factory and Autonomous Engineer to automate and scale business processes more quickly while maintaining oversight through ServiceNow's AI Control Tower governance platform. Customers in India and around the world are no longer asking whether AI can improve the business. They are asking how fast they can turn that improvement into measurable outcomes, safely and at scale, said Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer at ServiceNow. AI Workflow Factory combines process analysis, workflow development and deployment tools into a continuous improvement model. Moreover, the platform uses process mining to identify areas for improvement, while Autonomous Engineer and other AI tools help build, test and deploy workflow changes. ServiceNow said the platform allows businesses to automate tasks across departments while keeping human oversight over key decisions and outcomes. Industry partners including leading tech firms endorsed the initiative, saying it could help enterprises move from isolated AI projects to broader, enterprise-wide adoption with stronger governance and measurable business results. The company said the solutions are particularly relevant for regulated sectors such as banking, financial services, insurance and telecommunications, where visibility, auditability and control are critical requirements. ServiceNow cited findings from its 2026 Enterprise AI Maturity Index, which showed enterprise AI investment in India grew 119 per cent over the past year, highlighting growing demand for tools that can turn AI investments into business outcomes.

Govt rules out automatic pay revision for MGNREGA staff

Srinagar, Oct 1: Supporting staff engaged under the erstwhile Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), now implemented under the VB-G RAM G framework, continue to receive monthly honorarium ranging from 13,200 to 16,500, with the government stating that there is no separate notified policy for automatic or periodic enhancement of their remuneration. Documents accessed by Rising Kashmir reveal that MIS operators are being paid 13,200 per month, while Technical Assistants receive 16,500 per month. The Rural Development Department said the rates were revised vide government order no. 49-RD&PR of 2024 dated January 30, 2024, and are subject to the terms and conditions of engagement as well as availability of funds under the administrative component of the scheme. In response to a question on whether the government has any policy or criteria for enhancement of the remuneration of these employees, the department said there is no separate notified policy providing for automatic or periodic enhancement. Their remuneration is governed by the terms of engagement, applicable scheme guidelines/orders and availability of funds under the administrative component, the department stated. On the question of implementation of SRO-255 of August 5, 2003, in respect of MGNREGA staff and steps being taken to regularise their services, the department said the issue of non-implementation does not arise in the manner stated. The government clarified that SRO-255, known as the Jammu and Kashmir Contractual Appointment Rules, 2003, was framed to regulate contractual appointments against specified government posts. According to the department, Rule 3 of the Rules restricted their applicability to posts notified through government order no. 1018-GAD of 2003 dated August 5, 2003, and such other posts as could subsequently be notified by the General Administration Department. Thus, SRO-255 was not a general rule applicable to every category of contractual or Scheme-based worker, the department said. The Rural Development Department further stated that supporting staff under MGNREGA were engaged under the scheme-specific administrative framework, against the administrative component of MGNREGA, and their services were governed by the terms, conditions and guidelines applicable to the scheme. According to the documents, MGNREGA supporting staff did not fall within the category of persons appointed under SRO-255, nor were their engagements made against posts notified under government order no. 1018-GAD of 2003 or any subsequent notification issued under Rule 3. The department also pointed out that the Jammu and Kashmir Contractual Appointment Rules, 2003 were subsequently repealed under Section 15 of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Special Provisions) Act, 2010. Section 15 of the Act expressly provided for repeal of the 2003 contractual appointment rules. The department further noted that the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Special Provisions) Act, 2010 itself was repealed as a whole through S.O. 1229(E) dated March 31, 2020, issued under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Adaptation of State Laws) Order, 2020.

Canada urges US to work together on autos

Digital Desk | Milwaukee, Oct 1 (IANS) Canada has urged the United States to work with it to address pressures on the deeply integrated North American auto industry, with Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu saying workers on both sides of the border are facing similar challenges. Sidhu said he raised the auto sector and interconnected supply chains during talks with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the sidelines of the G20 Trade Ministers Meeting in Milwaukee. The Canadian minister said he had encountered auto workers in Milwaukee who had been laid off. He drew a parallel with job losses in his own constituency, which has operations of automaker Stellantis. I came across some workers here in Milwaukee that were laid off in the auto sector, Sidhu told reporters. And I represent the constituency of where we have Stellantis, hundreds of folks laid off in the auto sector. Sidhu said the experience underscored the extent to which the Canadian and American automobile industries were connected. I strongly believe the auto sector is stronger when we're able to work together, he said. And so that was my message that, you know, you're facing some of the same challenges that we're facing. Let's help each other and let's work through something. Sidhu said the discussion with Greer came as G20 trade ministers examined broader pressures on global supply chains. Here we're talking a lot about supply chains, he said, pointing to steel and food among the issues being discussed. Sidhu said supply chains between Canada and the United States were particularly intertwined in the automobile industry. He said Canada's minister responsible for relations with the United States was leading those discussions. My job as the international trade minister is to continue to support Canada diversification efforts and work with counterparts and colleagues all around the world to increase our access to new markets, he said. Asked separately about US tariffs, export restrictions and prospects for reducing tensions between the two neighbours, Sidhu said he had known Greer for some time and respected him. I think there's an understanding, Sidhu said. He said the two had previously worked together in international trade forums, including the World Trade Organisation and G7. Sidhu said many of the economic pressures facing Canada and the United States were also confronting other G20 economies. I think it's important when you look at some of the problems that we face, and this is what G20 economies are dealing with, the prices, the impacts on energy, the impacts on inflation, the impacts on supply chains and critical minerals, he said. And so many of us are dealing with the same challenges, and I think it's imperative that as partners, we continue to work together to find solutions for our citizens. Sidhu declined to identify the most significant remaining differences in the Canada-US negotiations. Of course we want to close the gaps, that's the whole point of negotiations, he said. But he made clear that Ottawa was seeking an agreement that protected Canadian workers and industries. I think at the end of the day, you want a good deal for your workers and industries and Canada won't accept anything less than that, Sidhu said. When you negotiate with Canada, it has to be mutually beneficial, he added. Canada and the United States have one of the world's most closely integrated automotive manufacturing systems, with vehicles and components routinely crossing the border during production. The sector supports manufacturing and supply-chain employment in both countries.
