Finally, it seems like FMCG companies have been taking this grammage increase. Very rarely do we see this happening from the FMCG side. Will this finally support the growth of FMCG companies, which has been subdued in Q3? Kaustubh Pawaskar: Yes, so there are two aspects to it. One, obviously, they want to pass on the benefit of the lower raw material prices to the consumers. We have heard that rural demand is yet to pick up. And this is the commentary we have been hearing for the past three quarters.

A taxpayer who finds himself in the new regime can switch to the old tax regime at the time of filing tax returns. “However, taxpayers can claim deduction only if they make their tax-saving investments before 31 March,” says Sudhir Kaushik, CEO of tax filing portal TaxSpanner. com. The taxpayers who changed jobs during the year may not have been asked to submit proof of investments either. The new employer might not have taken into account the income from the previous job and would have calculated a lower tax. “They should also complete their tax-saving investments now,” says Kaushik. Our annual ranking of tax-saving instruments helps such individuals make the right choices. We assessed 10 tax-saving options on eight key parameters—returns, safety, flexibility, liquidity, costs, transparency, ease of investment and taxability of income. Each parameter has equal weightage and the composite scores determine the place in the ranking.
