PF, GST, PAN Card Linking: 10 Rule Changes to Overcome in September. Know More

 









1) New GST Rule

The Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) had announced that starting from the 1st of September, 2021, there would be a rule change. The body expressed that Rule-59(6) of Central GST Rules which provides for restriction in the filing of GSTR-1, will come into effect from the beginning of the month. According to the new rule change that has come into play, people cannot file their GSTR-1 Forms if they have not yet filed the GSTR-B for the previous tax period.

2) PF-Aadhaar Linking

From September 1, employers and employees will only be able to make contributions to the employee’s provident fund (PF) if it is linked with the Aadhaar card. This will be essential if you wanted to access the full range of benefits under PF. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) had amended Section 142 of the Code of Social Security 2020. This will also significantly impact the pensions fund. Citizens were given till August 31, 2021, to complete the linking.

3) PAN-Aadhaar Linking

The government has issued a deadline of September 30, 2021, as the last date to link your PAN card to your Aadhaar card. Earlier this deadline was June 30, 2021, but was extended. Failing to link the two cards to each other before the given deadline will result in the PAN card being rendered inoperative.

4) Hiked LPG Cylinder Prices

The LPG cooking gas prices were hiked for the month of September. The rates were hiked by Rs 25 from the previous price point. Now, non-subsidised Domestic 14.2 kg LPG cylinders are Rs 884.50 in the national capital, Delhi. State-run Oil companies review the prices of LPG cylinders twice a month. Once on the 1st and again on the 15th of every month. So, expect another potential hike after September 15.

5) Positive Pay System

The positive pay system, which was essentially a verification model that was put in place to prevent bank fraud, was introduced by the RBI in January of 2021. However, some banks were yet to adopt it. Axis Bank announced that it would implement the positive pay system from September 1 onwards.

6) Bumper-to-bumper car insurance

Following the Madras High Court’s ruling, it has now become mandatory for car owners to have 5-year bumper-to-bumper insurance on the purchase of a new car. This would push the retail price of cars higher.

7) Maruti Suzuki Price Hike

Speaking of cars, the leading Indian car-maker had announced that the company would be upping the price of the automobiles in India from September. This hike was expected to be around 3 to 4 per cent as per a report by the Indian Express.

8) Punjab National Bank Savings Account

The Punjab National Bank announced a reduction of its interest rates for savings account deposits from September 1. The revised interest rates of 2.90 per cent per annum would be applicable to both the existing and new savings account holders.

9) Expensive OTT Subscriptions

Disney + Hotstar subscribers will have to pay more for the OTT Subscription going forward in the month of September. The aforementioned platforms had hiked their prices from Rs 399 to Rs 499 per month.\

10) Google App Restrictions

The internet giant is announced that it would roll out new restrictions in its Families Policy Requirements on identifiers used in apps that target children. Developers need to adhere to the rule by September 1, 2021. Google has made an exception for Ad ID changes, which developers have till January 15 to comply.

Centre appeals against ruling on levy of GST on maintenance charges to resident welfare associations

Image
  The Centre has preferred a writ appeal before the Madras High Court against a single judge's order that flat or villa owners paying more than ₹7,500 a month towards maintenance charges to their residents’ welfare associations must pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the rate of 18% only for the amount exceeding ₹7,500 and not for the entire monthly contribution. Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and Sathi Kumar Sukumara Kurup on Wednesday allowed an application filed by the Centre to dispense with production of a certified copy of the judgment passed by Justice Anita Sumanth recently and directed the Registry to list the appeal for admission in the usual course. Justice Sumanth had in July this year quashed an order passed by the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) on June 21, 2019 as well as a consequent circular issued by the Department of Revenue under the Union Finance Ministry on July 22, 2019 since both of them had insisted upon collecting GST for entire monthly contribution.
