Thoughts on improving the revenue stream of TN Govt

TN Govt has huge arrears of Property Tax and also in many cases,Property Tax has not been revised for years together . Local bodies are wallowing in financial crisis.

Is it possible to Securitise these taxes with either Govt. Departments like VAT/Commercial tax dept taking them or under outsourcing PPP model.

Atleast it will bring some discipline into collection of Property Tax in the future if a third party collects it, of course, with necy checks and balances.

2)Also Property Tax,Local Body Tax,(even EB tariff) increase may be indexed to CPInflation rate once a year in April .This will also reduce unnecessary bickering and dithering in raising Tax rates for political ends.

3)TASMAc retailing liquor is the biggest retailer Co. of the Country, and is run as a Co. as per The Cos. Act, 2013. However, since it is classified as a pvt co., there r no independent directors on its Board. From Good governance point of view will it not improve the credibility of good governance if Independent Directors r inducted..

Govts. should set examples of Good Governance in Govt. owned cos.

4)EB arrears have not been paid by Govt Departments, Local bodies etc. to the Tangedco. This is a vicious cycle. Govt of the day has to first ask its own Depts and Local bodies to clear the arrears forthwith

India's Semiconductor Manufacturing in 2026–2030: PLI Impact, Global Standing, and AI-Era Policy Needs How India's PLI scheme is building semiconductor capacity, what it means for global supply chains, and what government must do next as AI demand reshapes the industry. 14 min read Modern semiconductor fab with Indian innovation flags and growth trajectory Semiconductors-Policy in India India's PLI scheme commits $10 billion to build semiconductor manufacturing capacity over 5 years, with TATA and Micron fab projects expected to deliver 1–2 million wafers monthly by 2027. By 2030, India could claim 2–3% of global semiconductor production - a major jump from today's <1%, though still far behind Taiwan and South Korea. Geopolitically, this matters: as supply chains de-risk away from Taiwan and China, India becomes a critical third hub for mature-node and memory-chip manufacturing. However, success hinges on three critical gaps the government must address. First...

Why Indian Rupee is falling steeply against US dollar?

The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time. In this post, we'll break down the key domestic pressures weighing on the rupee and the global forces making the US Dollar stronger. We'll also look at what the Reserve Bank ...
