India's tax framework allows certain individuals to legally reduce rental income tax to zero. A flat 30% deduction on gross rental income, coupled with a rebate under Section 87A in the new tax regime, can nullify tax liability. This strategy requires rental income to be the primary source and authentic documentation.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullahs interaction with filmmakers in Bengaluru is part of a welcome government effort to bring back film-makers to Kashmir in greater numbers. Jammu and Kashmir and Indian cinema share a long, emotional and culturally rich relationship, one that deserves to be revived with renewed energy. For decades, Kashmir has been the favoured location of Hindi cinema, and to a lesser extent for the movies from South. Its lakes, gardens, meadows and mountains gave Indian films some of their most memorable imagery. From Raj Kapoors Barsaat in 1949 to the romance-filled musicals of later decades, Kashmir was not just a backdrop. It became part of the storytelling itself. Generations of Indians first encountered the Valleys beauty through the silver screen. That relationship was disrupted after militancy erupted in 1989. As security concerns grew, filmmakers moved elsewhere. Switzerland, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and foreign destinations replaced Kashmir. Films about Kashmir continued to be made, but often focused on conflict rather than everyday life, culture and beauty. A place once associated with romance became tied to headlines of unrest. Today, circumstances have changed. Security has improved, infrastructure has expanded, and the government has introduced policies that make shooting easier. Major productions featuring stars such as Shah Rukh Khan and directors like Rohit Shetty have already returned to the Valley in recent years. Their positive experiences should encourage others to follow. The return of filmmakers is not only about nostalgia. It makes strong economic sense. A film shoot creates jobs for local drivers, hoteliers, caterers, craftsmen, technicians and transport operators. It also boosts tourism. When audiences watch songs filmed on Dal Lake or scenes shot in Gulmarg, Pahalgam or Sonamarg, they see a welcoming Kashmir. Tourism numbers often rise when destinations are featured on screen. Yet attracting filmmakers requires facilitation from the government in addition to the local facilities. These can help transform Kashmir from an occasional location into a regular filmmaking hub. And to this end, the CMs meeting with South Indian filmmakers is a welcome outreach effort. With better infrastructure, simpler clearances and active promotion, Kashmir can attract filmmakers in far greater numbers in the years ahead.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik believes the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season has redefined the boundaries of T20 cricket, where towering scores are a routine affair and teams fearlessly hunting them down, adding that he finds the batting approach inhuman at times. Flat pitches, short boundaries, and the impact player rule have meant that teams are routinely chasing down 200-plus targets. On Saturday, Punjab Kings set a new record for chases in IPL by hunting down 265 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Later, Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. First up, credit to all teams who are chasing down such big totals, and also to the teams that are setting such massive totals. The game has changed; the landscape of T20 cricket is changing every day. You see these scores and think, Wow, it's just incredible. At times, its inhuman the way teams have been batting. Yes, it's obviously a challenge batting-wise because you're trying to be so much more aggressive. With the ball, it's a different challenge - you try to protect as much as you can and try to do your best at it. So it's been wonderful to see how this IPL is actually constantly raising the bar for teams across the world and for the players who are playing because they need to reinvent and obviously make sure that they are moving along with how fast the game is going. So it's been a privilege to be part of it, and you just sometimes look at it and marvel at how well this game is progressing and to what heights it's reaching, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference. Run-making in power-play has breached the 10 runs per over mark, while dot-ball percentage is below 40 percent, and boundary percentage has gone past 25 all of which never happened in previous seasons of the IPL. The impact player rule has also meant that a side like PBKS never looked in trouble in the chase and reached 265 with seven balls to spare. Karthik acknowledged the balance between bat and ball remains a constant debate in the IPL, but insisted the T20 format is in a good place. It's always a debate, isn't it? When you start scoring a lot of runs, you feel how you equalise it for the bowler and vice versa. I think this format is in a good place. There have been some interesting changes made by the fact that you have added reviews to decisions that are being made, you've added impact player, etc. But the results have been quite alarming in a positive way. I think the world looks at IPL and goes, this is a different brand of cricket altogether because the T10 strong teams are competing against each other and each one of the teams pushing the other to do something very special to win a game of cricket, which is exactly what you want in terms of rivalry, standard, etc. I'm very happy with the place that IPL is in and I think in many ways it's an example of how cricket should be played and for that matter even sports should be played because there are definitely areas where each team is going back to the drawing board and saying this is where we need to improve and they are addressing it at the end of each season and that's why you see the standards increasing with every passing year, he elaborated. Calling 220 the new 180 in T20s, with IPL 2026 seeing four successful 200-plus chases and its overall run rate being the highest in the history of the competition, Karthik underlined how batting power and innovation have transformed the game. The new normal - it is a good way to put it. I think the question is a very valid one because obviously the bowlers are challenged, aren't they? 200-220 scores - teams seem to be getting it, and it almost feels like 220 is the old 180 or something like that, and teams are getting there quite often. So, it is a challenging situation for any bowling coach and any bowler, for that matter, because the pitches are obviously quite flat and batters have improved their range of stroke play. Add to that, they have increased their power as well, and some of them are hitting massive sixes. So, obviously, as a bowling unit, you need to be very aware of what is happening and how the scores have increased and how you need to be thinking as a bowler. Without revealing too much, I would say so far we are trying our best to do a good job. More variations, why not? That will make the bowling side of things very interesting, he said. Saturday was a tough day to be a bowler, and the same story could be there for the rest of the season. Karthik also felt that the changing nature of the pitches will also determine if a particular game will be a run-fest or not. First of all, I don't know if you are asking me a question or scaring me, but definitely it feels like most teams are backing themselves to chase down most totals and that's a good sign to be fair because that tells you that the batters these days actually are coming in fearlessly to the point where they back themselves to do very different things to what it was done a few years ago. So, you have to be open as a batting unit. You don't want to set any target or challenges for you as a batting unit, but constantly keep making sure the way the batters look at how each inning needs to be is different on each given day, on different pitches. Like in Bengaluru, sometimes we played on pitches which probably went 260-250 pitches, as you saw against DC, we got 180, and it was a good game. Against LSG, they got 160, and we had to bat and get there, and we did that. So, it depends on the pitches. On some pitches, like Jaipur yesterday, 230 was scored. DC, here, 260 plus was scored. So, each pitch varies, but in general, you have to say that it is very interesting to see how this game is actually unfolding in each venue and with every given day, depending on which pitch you play, some crazy scores are being met with for sure, he explained. He further noted how shot-making has evolved into a power-driven extension of traditional strokes. People are playing an extension of a normal cricketing shot, so to speak. I remember a few years ago, you said 10 years, I think that's a good number to have. A lot of these scoops, reverse scoops, all of that were like, Oh, how can players play that? Now it's more like, can you just check your drive, and can it go for a six? So I would say people are focusing more on making sure their normal shots that they had have a lot more power added to them. In clearing the boundary, in clearing the ropes, and also they're becoming very clever in the power play in terms of what positions they get into, probably to play a lot of the boundaries. As we see, CSK is batting on a slightly different pitch today. The scores are not that high so far when I last saw them at the end of 10 overs. So with every pitch, every venue, it seems to change. But you have to say, in general, the shot-making has definitely improved, and there's also a lot of power added. Otherwise, you wouldn't get such consistent scores of 220. The role of an impact player, the psychological impact that it has on a batting unit, knowing that you bat a little deeper than normal, could also be a factor in it. On the role of analytics, Karthik credited RCBs analyst Freddie Wilde for bringing valuable insights. It is very good that you asked the question about Freddie. Yes, we do use data, and we try to understand the metrics and see how we can obviously use it to our advantage. We definitely try to do a bit of that. In terms of whether the outlook of the team has changed and the way we play as a team, I think it isn't a good question for you to answer. From the inside, it feels like we are making a conscious effort to use these metrics to help our players achieve something special. Last year, we were good enough to beat some good teams and in the end, crossed the line. So, we are making a conscious effort at that. On the role of analytics, Karthik credited RCBs analyst Freddie Wilde for bringing valuable insights. It is very good that you asked the question about Freddie. Yes, we do use data, and we try to understand the metrics and see how we can obviously use it to our advantage. We definitely try to do a bit of that.

So far, I must say the experience for me on a personal note has been very good, and Freddie has been one who is feeding us very valuable information, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
IPL 2026: I Marvel At How Virat Kohli Rediscovers Himself Almost Every Year, Says Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik has hailed Virat Kohlis ability to reinvent himself after every IPL season, calling it a remarkable trait that continues to inspire him as well as his teammates and youngsters alike, as the talismanic batter nears the 9000-run milestone in the competition. Kohli returns to his original home venue the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi where defending champions RCB will take on Delhi Capitals on Monday evening. Kohli boasts of an average of 66.8 with seven fifties in 11 IPL innings in New Delhi and needs just 11 runs to become the first player to reach 9000 runs in IPL history. He currently has 8989 runs, which clearly puts him ahead of Rohit Sharma (7183), Shikhar Dhawan (6769), David Warner (6565), and KL Rahul (5579). Now with Virat Kohli, the fact is that that man goes back every year and he is assessing what he has done. He almost comes with a very stubborn plan about how he wants to go about it, and he gets it done not on match days alone, but the way he practices as well. He has a method to how he goes about it, and he's constantly checking himself in practice, and there are certain days he'll bat more, certain days he'll bat less, and he has so much experience. Credit to him that man constantly rediscovers with every passing year, and for him to keep up with the pace of this game and some of the newer players are batting at insane strike rates, and he is going shoulder to shoulder with them and producing match-winning performances. So I marvel at how he rediscovers himself every year almost and that is such a big learning for me as well and I'm sure and I wish a lot of the players who watch him play also learn that with every passing year, people are looking at you and they'll come with a plan and you need to counter it with your strengths and he's done that very nicely so far, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference on Sunday. In IPL 2026, Kohli has 328 runs from seven innings at an average of 54.7 and a strike rate of 163, with a highest score of 81. He has been in sublime touch in chases this season, scoring two of his three fifties, with an average of 99.5 and a strike rate of 172 in such situations. Against DC, Kohli has amassed 1149 runs in 31 innings at an average of 47.8, including 11 fifties. With four 50-plus scores in his last five innings at Kotla, he will be keen to extend his dominance at the venue. Karthik recalled how this years U19 World Cup winners, Vihaan Malhotra and Kanishk Chouhan, have been soaking in the experience of seeing Kohli go about his business in the practice sessions. It's quite amazing and a learning experience for any young boy watching. I'm sure the likes of Vihaan and Kanishk have looked at him and been like look at how Virat bhai is practising and what he is doing differently. They've asked me as well what I think Virat bhai is doing differently from last year. Against DC, Kohli has amassed 1149 runs in 31 innings at an average of 47.8, including 11 fifties. With four 50-plus scores in his last five innings at Kotla, he will be keen to extend his dominance at the venue. Karthik recalled how this years U19 World Cup winners, Vihaan Malhotra and Kanishk Chouhan, have been soaking in the experience of seeing Kohli go about his business in the practice sessions.

It's the same for this game as well; he's injured for the moment. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Krunal Pandya Is Pushing The Boundaries Of What A Finger-spinner Means, Says Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik highlighted the growing influence of left-arm spin all-rounder Krunal Pandya, saying that he should be regarded as a trend-setter because of his pushing the boundaries of what a finger-spinner should be in T20 cricket. Krunals knack for being an innovative left-arm spinner has been on full display in IPL 2026 by bowling a surprise bouncer, while switching between slinging deliveries and conventional arm ball, and varying his pace cleverly to deceive the batters. Due to his ever-evolving skill sets, Pandya has picked up eight wickets from seven matches at an average of 28.75 and an economy rate of 9.20. Krunal Pandya is a player that this game is going to remember for a long time because he is doing something that has not been done before - pushing the boundaries of what a finger-spinner means. He is bowling deliveries that people really couldn't fathom a few years ago, and he is becoming a master at it. He is using it very cleverly, very wisely when the situation demands, and he is using that as a strength of his to put pressure back on the person that he is bowling against. It's actually quite interesting to see how he goes about it mentally as well. He is not someone who is just doing it because it looks cool. He knows that given the moment when he does want to use it, it does create a doubt in the batter, and a lot of the time it delivers the result that he wants out of that ball. So he is someone who is going to be a person remembered as a cricketer. One that is a trendsetter. Today, if you see a lot of spinners trying to bowl different deliveries, I think a lot of credit must go to Krunal Pandya. He is definitely evolving as an all-rounder with every passing day, be it with the ball or the bat, and that is so wonderful to see. As I said, IPL is changing the landscape of cricket and Krunal Pandya is changing the landscape of finger spin bowling, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference, ahead of RCB taking on Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. Karthik heaped praise on RCB skipper Patidars batting returns, with him amassing 238 runs at a high strike-rate of 210.61. Rajat Patidar is a good example of someone who is constantly upping his standards, upping the quality of shots that he's playing. As relaxed and calm as he is, he's a very thoughtful man who goes back at the end of the season and looks at areas where he could get better and works on them through the season. We are in constant touch, and he sends me some videos as to what he's practicing, and he's always on the money, and you can see the output when he does bat because as we all know, he's batting in a very special manner and the way he's able to dominate bowlers right from the outset is a sight to watch, he added. Talking about Patidar, the captain, Karthik, pointed out that being relaxed is his big strength, and he gets help from others like vice-captain Jitesh Sharma, Pandya, Virat Kohli, and others. Obviously, the results will tell you that he's been very good. Off the field, he's the calmest, most relaxed person who absorbs information and puts it to good use in-game. His strength is the fact that he has the respect in the room, and he has a nice way of handling all his bowlers. He is not someone who is too confused and is very relaxed. He has a good lieutenant in Jitesh Sharma, who guides him in the game, and some extraordinary senior players in the likes of Virat Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who are very, very senior and good pros who give him a helping hand whenever it's required. But overall, Rajat has been the man that you see on screen. Somebody who's very composed, who knows what he's doing, and when the pressure and heat rise in the game, he's able to hold his own and make decisions which we definitely look at and go, that's very good given the moment and given how the game is panning out, and that's all you can ask of him as a leader. As I said, he's the warmest guy. You meet him, and you realise he's as simple a person as you can meet, and that rubs off on the field as well. On Jitesh Sharmas evolution as a keeper, Karthik credited him for working hard on improving his skill sets and catching efficiency. He has taken some fabulous catches this tournament, and because of the work that he is putting in behind the scenes. He is very meticulous. He is constantly doing drills, which are slowly but steadily upping his game. Apart from his batting, I can definitely say he is a better keeper than what he was. A lot of credit must go to the fielding coach, Mr. Richard Halsall, who has put in a lot of work behind the scenes using simple methods, but ones that have been very effective. The good thing about them is how disciplined they are with their practice. On Jitesh Sharmas evolution as a keeper, Karthik credited him for working hard on improving his skill sets and catching efficiency.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score So, I think a lot of credit must go to him personally as well for understanding who his bowlers are and how he needs to be in terms of what are the skills that he needs to improve as a keeper, be it moving laterally or obviously stretching his boundaries as a keeper, and it is wonderful to see him do that so far for RCB, he concluded.

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan opened up on how adapting to the ever-evolving demands of T20 cricket has become central to modern batting, emphasising the importance of versatility and situational awareness as he reflected on his approach at the top of the order. Speaking ahead of Gujarat Titans clash against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Sudharsan, coming off a century in the previous outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, underlined his batting philosophy. As a team, me and Shubhi (Gill), we are focusing more on percentage cricket. We'll try and keep and push the team as much as front as possible. And what that means for us is giving them a very good base when they come in in 14th or 15th over, he told the broadcasters ahead of the toss. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation. So I think I've focused on that and looking to play the situation rather than thinking this strike-rate I have to play. More focused on the situation and the conditions what is required. Sudharsan also spoke about returning to a familiar venue and the emotions attached to the venue. I'm catching up with them (family and friends) after the game, but very, very grateful and happy to be back at Chepauk. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation.

IPL 2026: Urvil Patel Comes In For CSK As GT Opt To Bowl
Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl against hosts Chennai Super Kings in the 37th fixture of the IPL 2026 here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, in the first match-up of the double header Sunday. At the halfway stage of the tournament, both CSK and GT are evenly placed with three wins and four losses from seven matches, making this clash important for momentum and standings. CSK head into the game high on confidence after a dominant win over Mumbai Indians, powered by Sanju Samsons unbeaten 101 and a four-wicket haul from Akeal Hosein. Back at Chepauk, where they have won two of three matches, CSK will look to continue their strong home form. In contrast, GT are under pressure after back-to-back losses to MI and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite a century from Sai Sudharsan. While their bowling remains a strength, concerns over an inconsistent middle order persist as they aim to regain form. Winning the toss, GT skipper Shubman Gill said, We're gonna bowl first. It looks like a good wicket. On a wicket like this, it's good to have a total on the board. (The heat is) not that bad. A good bit of breeze going on, so hopefully it wouldn't be too tough on our bowlers. We're doing a lot of the things right. It's just about winning the small moments and I think in bowling when we're leaking runs, we are leaking too many runs in that period of three to four overs. So it's just about hitting that length ball consistently in the middle overs. And that's what the talk has been about. Honestly, if the wicket is nice (in the powerplay), that is our talk. If the wicket is well, get 70-80 in the powerplay, get as many actually in the powerplay but it's very important to assess the conditions and if the wicket is a 170-180 wicket, really you got to assess that as well because I think at the end of the day, it's important to play the conditions rather than something that has not happened. One change, Arshad is coming back in the squad. Meanwhile, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, It's a bit on the drier side and more often than not, it will remain the same, so we're batting first really well and wouldn't mind putting on the score again and defend it. The confidence is high looking at the margin of the runs that we won the last game. But again, this game starts fresh, starts from zero. We have to start assessing how the pitch is, bat accordingly, and then try and defend it. But obviously, confidence-wise, we are slightly getting better and better in terms of overall unit. It's just that one or two areas where we need to click, we need to fire, and we'll get better on from that. I've been getting starts and not able to convert it. It's very rare, to be honest, but it doesn't quite happen that often. But as I said, as long as I'm getting starts and as long as someone else is doing the job and we are getting over the line, it's fine. But whenever I feel, I'm there, I'm set, and I feel that today's my day, and I'll have to make sure I'll make it count, and I'm confident with that. We just got one change, Urvil comes in, and we'll play around with the impact player.

IPL 2026: If We Drop Catches, We Cannot Defend, Need To Improve Fielding And Bowling, Says Rao
Cricket Venugopal Rao: Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao admitted that dropped catches and poor bowling cost his side dearly in their high-scoring six-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in IPL 2026. At the same time, he praised KL Rahuls unbeaten 152, while stressing on the need to adapt better in future matches. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC posted 264/2, but Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh hitting 116 runs in the powerplay along with captain Shreyas Iyer hitting a composed 71 not out off 36 balls helped PBKS chase down 265 with seven balls to spare. Apart from giving Prabhsimran a life early on, Iyer was also given reprieves twice by Karun Nair in a span of five balls at the fag end, which also played a big part in DC suffering its fourth IPL defeat. Yes, I can say that not 2, we dropped almost 6 catches today. See, when you are dropping batters at a crucial time, I do not think we will win these kinds of matches. Chances to players like Prabhsimran, Priyansh Arya and Shreyas, we need to take those. If we drop catches, we cannot defend, Rao said at the post-match press conference. Reflecting on the failed defense, Rao first credited KL for taking the side to a gigantic total. See, after scoring and putting a target of 264, still we could not defend. First of all, credit goes to KL, the way he handled it. Nobody knows how the pitch behaved, but he kept on striking the ball well. The way he played till the last over, hats off. He continued his form. More importantly, in this format, you cannot relax. He took responsibility as a senior player and you saw the difference this year in what he can bring. I am happy for him. We could not get the win, but we will come back strong in the next match. On areas of improvement, especially DC set to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday, Rao said, We will see. Next game when we come, we will answer. There are a lot of positives. But the areas to improve are powerplay bowling and catching. He continued his form. More importantly, in this format, you cannot relax. He took responsibility as a senior player and you saw the difference this year in what he can bring. I am happy for him. We could not get the win, but we will come back strong in the next match.
