Indian man moves to US for job, forgets to file ITR; here's why ITAT Jaipur still canceled penalty

SUMMARY
An Indian man relocated to the US for employment and forgot to file his Income Tax Return (ITR) in India. The Income Tax department imposed a penalty under Section 271F for the late/non-filing. However, the man appealed, arguing the non-filing was unintentional due to his relocation and not a deliberate attempt to evade taxes. ITAT Jaipur ruled in his favor, canceling the penalty, accepting that the failure was a genuine oversight caused by his move abroad, not willful default or negligence.

As Modi, Xi Push India-China Thaw, Defence Ministry Says PLA Deployment Along LAC Fell In 2025

SUMMARY
India's Defence Ministry reported a notable reduction in Chinese PLA troop deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in 2025, signaling a positive shift in India-China relations. This development comes as PM Modi and President Xi Jinping actively pursue diplomatic thaw following years of border tensions since the 2020 Galwan clash. Both nations completed disengagement at key friction points, including Depsang and Demchok in Ladakh. The decreased military presence reflects growing mutual trust, with resumed diplomatic and military-level talks. However, India maintains vigilance, continuing infrastructure development along the LAC to ensure preparedness while engaging in dialogue for lasting peace and stability.

Trump’s ‘little war’ with Iran just got a lot bigger

SUMMARY
In early 2020, tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated dramatically after President Trump ordered the drone strike killing Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq. The conflict intensified amid U.S. sanctions crippling Iran's economy, proxy attacks across the Middle East, and threats to global oil supplies. Critics warned Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign risked full-scale war, while supporters argued it deterred Iranian aggression.

Is gold about to go on another rally? Standard Chartered's Gill thinks so.

SUMMARY
Standard Chartered's analyst Suki Hardman Gill predicts gold is poised for another significant rally, driven by persistent geopolitical tensions, central bank buying, and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold has already surged to record highs in 2024, surpassing $2,400/oz.
