Using both causality and cointegration analyses, this study suggests that FDI and FII equity flows, which together on a net basis accounted for around three fourth of the total net capital inflows during the 10-year period from 2000-01 to 2009-10, are not sensitive to interest rate differentials.
What is talent? We must define talent. We say that Lata Mangeshkar is a very talented singer or Sachin Tendulkar is a very talented player. No, I withdraw, they are like gods. Let me choose another example. It is common to say that Shreya Ghoshal is a talented singer or Gautam Gambhir is a very talented player. Do we also say that I have got a talented driver, or the carpenter who did the interiors at my home is very talented. While we are certainly talking about talent in respect of Gautam Gambhir and Shreya Ghoshal, it is the skill of the driver and the carpenter that we usually refer to and not their talent.

National policies alone cannot prevent a crisis even if these are the most appropriate unless some of the global challenges are addressed collectively at the global level. The international monetary system has been found inadequate to tackle global imbalances, which had to manifest in the form of crisis or the other at some stage. The significance of the unprecedented and co-ordinated action led by G20 in avoiding another Great Depression needs to be recognised. In view of the difficult years expected, we must sustain the global approach despite domestic differences in policies.

CIT v Radhey Shyam Bansal and Others (Delhi HC) In the instant case, the referring AO has not recorded satisfaction that any undisclosed income belongs to the assessee. In the letter/communication dated 15 July 2003 by the referring AO to the AO of the assessee, there is no allegation that the assessee was provided with accommodation book entries or the amounts belong to the respondent-assessee. Book entries were provided to third parties. Though the referring AO wrote a letter to the assessee’s AO informing him that the assessee was providing bogus accommodation book entries and the quantum of transactions was given as per the Annexures, the Annexures were missing from the file. Thus, the appellant-revenue has not discharged the onus that there was valid satisfaction as required under s 158 BD. Therefore, the irresistible conclusion is the prerequisite of “satisfaction” as engrafted under s 158B for the purpose of the initiation of the block assessment proceeding is non-existent or absent.
