 आजकल कई कंपनियाँ अपने शेयर वापस खरीदने (Share Buyback) लगी हैं। यह निवेशकों को फायदा पहुँचाने का एक लोकप्रिय तरीका बन गया है। लेकिन इसी के साथ सरकार ने एक खास टैक्स लागू किया है, जिसे  बायबैक टैक्स (Buyback Tax)  कहा जाता है। कई निवेशकों और बिज़नेस ओनर्स के लिए यह विषय थोड़ा तकनीकी लगता है। तो आइए आसान भाषा में समझते हैं — बायबैक टैक्स क्या है, क्यों लगाया गया है, और इसका कंपनियों व निवेशकों पर क्या असर पड़ता है? बायबैक टैक्स क्या होता है? जब कोई कंपनी अपने ही शेयर बाजार से वापस खरीदती है, तो उसे उस पर जो टैक्स देना पड़ता है, उसे  बायबैक टैक्स  कहते हैं। आमतौर पर कंपनियाँ अपने मुनाफे को शेयरधारकों में बाँटने के लिए दो तरीके अपनाती हैं: डिविडेंड देना शेयर बायबैक करना शेयर बायबैक में कंपनी अपने शेयर खरीद लेती है, जिससे बाजार में शेयरों की संख्या कम हो जाती है और प्रति शेयर कमाई (EPS) बढ़ सकती है। सरकार ने यह देखा कि कई कंपनियाँ डिविडेंड देने की बजाय बायबैक कर रही थीं क्योंकि इसमें टैक्स कम लगता था। इसी असंतुलन को ठीक करने के लिए बायबैक टैक्स लाया गया। भारत में बा...

Mumbai, the city of dreams, is synonymous with ambition, opportunities—and sky-high living costs. From exorbitant rents to maintenance charges that often feel like second salaries, residents in prime areas such as Cuffe Parade or Nariman Point are used to paying hefty sums just to call a place home. But what if there was a society in Mumbai where living didn’t cost you anything—in fact, where the society actually paid you to live there? Sounds unbelievable? Welcome to Jolly Maker Tower . A Housing Society Like No Other Jolly Maker Tower, located in the heart of Cuffe Parade, is not your ordinary residential building. Unlike most apartments in Mumbai, where maintenance charges often run into tens of thousands every month, this society flips the concept on its head. Residents here do not pay a single rupee in maintenance . Even more astonishing, flat owners receive an annual payment of approximately Rs 2.5 lakh simply for living in their own homes. The revelation came into the limelight...

Buying your first home is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. With soaring property prices, rising EMIs, and complex tax rules, many first-time buyers struggle to make the right decisions. The good news is that home loans make buying a house more affordable , and you can also save significant money through tax benefits if you plan carefully. This article explains everything first-time buyers should know about home loan eligibility, EMI planning, and tax savings under Section 24(b) of the Income Tax Act. Why Buying a Home Is Tougher Today In India, affordable homes are usually priced below ₹45 lakh. Developers earn only 10–12% profit from these projects, whereas luxury homes give 25–30% profit. As a result, many builders prefer constructing premium homes, leaving middle-class buyers with fewer options. Additionally, banks today allow EMIs up to 60% of a borrower’s income. While this increases eligibility, it can also strain monthly finances if not planned carefully. That’s why...

मुद्रास्फीति एक ऐसा आर्थिक शब्द है जिसे अक्सर सुना जाता है, लेकिन इसका मतलब समझना थोड़ा मुश्किल लगता है। सरल शब्दों में, मुद्रास्फीति का अर्थ है सामान्य स्तर पर वस्तुओं और सेवाओं की कीमतों में वृद्धि —जैसे कि रोजमर्रा की वस्तुएँ, भोजन, ईंधन, आवास और सेवाएँ समय के साथ महंगी हो जाती हैं। एक महत्वपूर्ण लेकिन कम समझा गया कारण है ऋण और क्रेडिट । ऋण अर्थव्यवस्था में पैसे के प्रवाह को प्रभावित करता है। जब इसे सही तरीके से इस्तेमाल किया जाए तो यह विकास और वृद्धि में मदद करता है। लेकिन जब अत्यधिक या गलत तरीके से लिया जाए, तो यह कीमतों को बढ़ा सकता है और मुद्रास्फीति पैदा कर सकता है। इस लेख में हम सरल भाषा में समझेंगे कि कैसे ऋण मुद्रास्फीति को प्रभावित करता है , केंद्रीय बैंक क्यों उधारी पर निगरानी रखते हैं, और कब उधारी समस्या बन जाती है। ऋण और मुद्रास्फीति का मूल संबंध मूल रूप से, मुद्रास्फीति का मतलब है बहुत ज्यादा पैसा और कम वस्तुएँ । जब लोग और व्यवसाय पैसे उधार लेते हैं, तो उन्हें खर्च करने की शक्ति मिलती है। अगर खर्च उत्पादन की तुलना में तेज़ी से बढ़ता है, तो कीमतें बढ़ने लगती हैं। इसी तर...

  Mayaa SH, a distinguished Indian author, activist, and feminist philosopher ,a globally recognized literary figure and social activist from India, frequently employs the adage "Rome Was Not Built In A Day" to characterize her arduous journey toward becoming a champion for women's rights and a prolific authoress.

When banks lend money, they expect borrowers to repay it within the agreed time. However, in the real world, not all borrowers are able or willing to do so. Over time, unpaid loans accumulate and turn into non-performing assets (NPAs) . If this pile-up becomes too large, it weakens banks, reduces their lending capacity, and slows down economic growth. To deal with this chronic problem in a structured manner, policymakers across the world have turned to the idea of a “bad bank.” In India too, the bad bank model has emerged as an important reform to clean up the banking system. This article explains what a bad bank is, how it works, the role of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), why India needs it, and the key benefits it offers. What Is a Bad Bank? A bad bank is a specialised financial institution created to take over bad loans from regular banks. These bad loans are usually stressed assets or NPAs that have stopped generating income for banks. Instead of individual banks trying to reco...

In recent years, discussions around India’s rising debt , especially debt linked to foreign countries like the United States, have become more frequent. Many people are worried because they hear statements like “India’s debt is reaching close to its GDP.” But what does this actually mean? Is it dangerous for a country to have debt equal to or higher than its GDP? And why do economists warn that this situation is not good in the long run ? Understanding the Basics: Debt and GDP Before going deeper, let’s understand two important terms. What is GDP? GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the total value of all goods and services a country produces in one year. In simple words, GDP is the income of the nation . If India’s GDP is ₹100, it means the country earns ₹100 in one year. What is National Debt? National debt is the total money a country has borrowed . This includes: Money borrowed from its own citizens (banks, institutions) Money borrowed from foreign countries and institutions (like the...
