GST Council aims to close gold loophole
NEW DELHI : The GST Council is likely to finalize rules next week for transporting gold and precious stones worth ₹2 lakh or more by merchants so that states can monitor their movement and prevent leakages in tax collection, a person familiar with the development said. According to the proposed rules, states will be at liberty to mandate GST-registered entities to report the movement of gold and precious stones worth ₹2 lakh or any other threshold above this level, within the state, by way of generating e-way bills or electronic permits before starting transport.

Startups and their new normal: Funding crunch, disgruntled employees and allegations of fraud
PharmEasy is slated to be among the first large tech startups to have a 90% markdown in its valuations in its latest fundraising round. The pandemic, with its surge in tech usage, became the wind under the wings of the tech startups, but as the pandemic abated, the wind, too, died down, leading to a few crashes or near-crashes. While the valuations of PharmEasy will collapse from its peak of $5.6 billion two years ago to $500-600 million in its upcoming rights issue, other health tech startups such as Phablecare, Mojocare and Glamyo Health are also facing bleak futures — riddled by funding crunch, disgruntled employees or allegations of fraud and misrepresentation of financials.
