RBI relaxes gold import norms
23052014
Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No.133 dated 21st May,2014 permitted the Star Trading Houses / Premier Trading Houses (STH/PTH) which are registered as nominated agencies by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) to import gold under 20:80 scheme subject to the following conditions:
- The STH/PTH should have imported gold prior to the introduction of 20:80 scheme. STH / PTH should get the required verification done by the Department of Customs at any port where they have imported gold consignment in the past.
- The first lot of gold under this scheme would be based on the highest monthly import during any of the last 24 months prior to the RBI’s notification dated August 14, 2013, subject to a maximum of 2000 Kgs.
- As in the case of other nominated agencies, the eligible quantity may be imported by STH / PTHs from any port, subject to their eligibility limit / maximum quantity allowed to them.
- For proper compliance, before import, they must submit the import plan, port-wise and quantity-wise, to the concerned Customs office, where the verification of the figures of past performance was done. This information will be sent to all the other ports from which imports are permitted. The overall discipline of exporting 20% of each imported consignment before the next consignment is imported will be equally applicable to such STH/PTH importers.
Further, it has been decided to permit the nominated banks, to give Gold Metal Loans (GML) to domestic jewellery manufacturers out of the eligible domestic import quota of 80% to the extent of GML outstanding in their books as on March 31, 2013.
Warm regards,
Dr. S P Sharma

A Letter to the Prime Minister requesting him to provide clean and exemplary governance
23052014
National Election Watch (NEW) and Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) have written a letter to the Prime Minister designate, Shri Narendra Modi, bringing to his notice the disturbing fact that the newly formed 16th Lok Sabha has a sizeable number of MPs (112 i.e. 21%) facing serious criminal charges and requesting him to include only clean representatives in his Cabinet.
The steady increase in the number of MPs facing criminal charges over the years is a matter of grave concern to the country. While in Lok Sabha 2004, the number of MPs facing criminal charges was 24 per cent, in Lok Sabha 2009 it had increased to 30 per cent, and in the newly elected Lok Sabha 2014, the number has reached the mark of 34 per cent, which is 186 MPs.
In BJP alone, 98 (35%) out of 281 MPs analysed by NEW & ADR have self-declared criminal cases, while 63 (22%) have self-declared serious criminal cases like murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping, dacoity etc (Click here for Detailed Report).
Given Shri Modi’s commitment to critically examine MPs with self-declared criminal cases and fast tracking cases against them, which he reiterated during the recent Lok Sabha campaign saying, “the next Parliament would be cleaned by punishing the guilty,”(Reference Links Below) civil society organizations are expecting that the 14th Prime Minister will provide clean and exemplary governance.
In the letter sent to the PM-designate (dated 20-05-15), NEW and ADR have made the following requests:
- That MPs with serious criminal cases should not be made Ministers or given chairs of responsibilities in the Parliament such as in Standing Committees, Financial committees etc.
- That any MP should not be assigned a portfolio in the Cabinet that poses a conflict of interest with his/her business interests.
Please find the following documents attached with this mail;
- Letter sent to the PM designate.
- List of newly elected MPs who have declared criminal cases against them.
- Details of criminal cases declared by newly elected MPs

Bollywood Bad Boy Nikitin Dheer replaces Tanushree Dutta

Bollywood Bad Boy Nikitin Dheer replaces Tanushree Dutta
as the host of ‘Best of Fear Files’
With a height of 6’4”, a powerful physique and an intimidating aura, Nikitin Dheer created quite a wave as Thangaballi amongst other villainous avatars on the big screen … The hulk is all set to make his small screen debut as a host with Zee TV’s ‘Best of Fear Files’ from 31st May. Having won critical appreciation and box office success as an antagonist, Nikitin is excited to explore the world of television as a narrator of the show which revisits the eerie, mysterious world of the supernatural and unexplained!
Interestingly, the show is directed by his father – the renowned actor-producerPankaj Dheer which makes a perfect opportunity for the father-son duo to work together on small screen for the first time. With an intense brooding on screen persona, Nikitin was chosen as an apt choice as the narrator of the show, which keeps the entire nation on the edge of their seats with its spine-chilling episodes. The show’s previous anchor was Tanushree Dutta, whose contract was up for renewal but the makers believed in the need for a male anchor with an imposing, mysterious aura.
Nikitin will take the audience through some of the most compelling true life accounts of spooky events depicted in the show. As the narrator of Fear Files, Nikitin will be sharing exciting tidbits about the supernatural elements. These best episodes will unveil dark, intriguing truths from a world that we know little about… chapters from the lives of those who have experienced the other side!
Said an excited Nikitin, “The reason I accepted to host Fear Files was that it is completely different from my previous work in Bollywood so far. Till now I have mostly done characters with a negative streak so I felt it was a good opportunity to connect with my audience through a different genre. I was instantly drawn towards the show owing to its gritty content as this show does not sensationalize the scary element and that’s what differentiates Fear Files. Most importantly I am really excited to be directed by my father as it is the first time we are working together. Hope the viewers will enjoy the thrills and chills both on Fear Files and appreciate my role as the new narrator of the show”
‘Fear Files’focuses on the realm of the supernatural, events that are experienced by those who have lived to tell their story. It is a journey of ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences.
Watch the best spine-chilling episodes of Fear Files with Nikitin Dheer on every Saturday & Sunday at 10:30pm only on ZEE TV.
