Parliament watch: No GST impact study, govt not considering farm loan waiver, jobs for Agniveers, and SASCI near full disbursal

The finance ministry has stated no formal study on GST rate rationalization's inflationary impact has been conducted, though lower rates are expected to benefit consumers. Separately, the Union government is not considering a farm loan waiver, with agricultural credit rising steadily. Meanwhile, 25% of Agniveers are absorbed into the armed forces, with the rest finding civilian job opportunities.
