The delivery of the combat aircraft will begin in 36 months and will be completed in 66 months from the date the contract is inked. The features that make the Rafale a strategic weapon in the hands of IAF is its Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Me-
teor air-to-air missile with a range in excess of 150 km. Its integration on the Rafale jets will mean IAF can hit targets inside both Pakistan and across the northern and eastern bor-

Scarlett Keeling verdict: Goa court acquits both accused eight years after rape and murder
(H.S.) | New Delhi A Goa court on Friday acquitted both the accused, Samson D’Souza and Placido Carvalho, in the Scarlett Keeling rape and murder case, eight years after the teen was killed in Goa’s Anjuna beach in 2008. Carval-
ho and Samson had been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, sexual abuse and drugging. In an interview to NDTV, Keeling’s mother Fiona MacKeown said she was shocked and devastated by the verdict and would challenge it
in an appeals court. Her mother, who is presently in Panaji, had expressed hope in the Indian judiciary and showered praise on the CBI for its efficient handling of the matter. “I think they (CBI) have done their best… Everything was so diluted because of the delays…I think they have done everything they can,” she had said before the verdict. After her daughter’s body was found, Fiona had lived in Anjuna for a couple of weeks trying to piece together the evidence in the case. She flew down to Goa from Davon (UK) to be present in the court for the final verdict.

GST impact on auto sector: Optimization of total delivered costs
While the government is working to ensure GST roll out by April 2017, the industry is grappling with many unanswered questions. The auto sector has also not been immune to issues emanating out of the model GST law released by the government in the month of June earlier this year. Overall, GST is expected to offer optimisation of credits by removing the cascading effect of central and state taxes, possibly reducing costs for auto OEMs as well as dealers. However, for auto industry, much depends upon the GST rate structure for passenger vehicles. Today, passenger vehicles have a varying central excise duty structure, depending upon the length, engine capacity, etc. While cars with smaller engine capacity and length of less than four meters are subject to an excise duty of 12.5%, large cars where length crosses four meters, and/or engine capacity crosses 1200cc, the rate of excise duty can be 24%. For SUVs, the rate of excise duty is as high as 30%. On top of this, VAT/ CST is levied on sale of the vehicles. Thus, the cumulative taxes on domestically manufactured vehicles can range from 25-26% to 45% approximately. Under GST, it will be interesting to see the kind of rate structure that the government decides for passenger vehicles. It is possible that certain segments of vehicles may be subjected to standard rate while other categories are subject to a higher ‘demerit’ rate. However, whether the distinction will be based on engine capacity or market value or any other parameter remains to be seen. Apart from the rate of GST, there are many other aspects of the model GST law which are presently ambiguous or unanswered, and may become potential pain points for the industry. One such issue is on transition provisions under GST. As per the model GST law, during transition to GST, a registered taxable person shall be allowed to take credit of only such goods which were eligible for credit under the both the regimes. What emanates is that if a dealer has inventory lying with him on which he has already paid excise duty and central sales tax (if purchased from outside a state), then on migration to GST, the sale of such goods in the post-GST era would attract the full rate of applicable GST without any credit being given for the excise duty and CST already paid. Given that the cumulative rate of indirect tax at a dealer level may range from 15% to 45% (depending upon the class of vehicles), unless the rules are amended, this may lead to a huge cascading impact and create a differential between stock purchased prior to and after GST. Thus, auto OEMs and dealers need to carefully watch out for the developments on the transition provisions, and if required, plan out inventory levels during GST implementation to minimise any adverse tax impact. Another issue which is likely to trouble the industry, and dealers in particular, is that GST will be required to be paid against advances received against sale/supply of goods. Under the current indirect tax regime, advances received against sale of goods are not subject to VAT. However, if GST will be imposed on such transactions, it will lead to the advance amounts going up potentially by 20-40%. A related issue is that there is no clarity under the model GST law on what will happen upon cancellation of advances. Whether a suo moto credit will be given or the tax payer needs to claim refund?

Parched movie review: A good end to a problematic journey
(H.S.) | New Delhi Women have the right to decide what they want. They can articulate their needs and desires. And they have the power to put a stop to abuse and violence: these crucial themes are toplined in Leena Yadav’s Parched. The film would have been welcome at any time because the more discussion around them the better; coming a week after Pink, the timing seems even more opportune. Pink’s young women were urban, privileged-by-education-and-paying-jobs.
Parched takes us into the hinterland, into what looks like a Rajasthan village, and introduces us to its main women protagonists who don’t have even the semblance of agency. Rani (Tannishtha Chatterjee) is a widow all set to marry off her young son (Riddhi Sen) to a reluctant girl (Leher Khan) from the neighbouring village. Lajjo (Radhika Apte) is a childless woman in an abusive marriage. Bijli (Surveen Chawla) is a local dancer who gets farmed out for money by her handler. These women live a parched life of
despair and disuse. The men have either abandoned them, or use them as chattels, and instruments of brutal pleasure. Some of the sequences Yadav crafts are familiar but a sock-in-the-face, regardless. And some of them show welcome flashes of empowerment: women talking about their sexual desires, and being openly desirous (a hilarious scene features a cellphone and the discovery of its pleasuring potential) is essential, even laudatory. But despite Parched’s obvious worthy intentions, its execution left me discomfited. The violence unleashed on the women, including the clearly underage bride who is ravished by her entitled ‘husband’, the drunken beatings which leave Lajjo routinely broken and bruised, the horrific assaults on Bijli’s supine body, are relentless.
Hoping Wah Taj reaches out to people, says Shreyas Talpade
(H.S.) | Noida Actor Shreyas Talpade, whose film Wah Taj is set to release on Friday, hopes that the film will reach out to a lot of people as the message of the movie is strong. Directed by Ajit Sinha, “Wah Taj” revolves around a Maharashtrian farmer’s struggle amidst the corrupt system. “We are trying to reach out to as many people as we can because it’s about this farmer and his
wife who go to Agra… Considering that our society is dominated by farmers in a way, we are hoping that it will reach out to more number of people,” Shreyas said during his visit to the agency headquarter here. “There is a strong message. The film is essentially about farmers from Maharashtra. How the protagonist Tukaram (Shreyas) and his wife Sunanda (essayed by actress Manjari
Fadnis) keep fighting for the land. How Tukaram manipulates the system using the mindset of the kind of people we have today in the country, the kind of corruption that we have today. How we use it to our own advantage to reach a goal that he wants to,” Shreyas added. Wah Taj has been majorly shot in Agra, especially near the Taj Mahal. Shreyas Talpade, who is set to debut as a director in Bollywood with the Hindi remake of his Marathi movie Poshter Boys, said that as an actor he never likes to interfere in director’s work. “I do not interfere in the director or producer’s work and try to stick to my acting when I am working as an actor.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was last night admitted to Apollo hospital in Chennai due to fever and dehydration. The 68-year-old AIADMK chief was taken to hospital after she complained of fever. Fans and followers across Tamil Nadu expressed concern and prayed for speed recovery of the chief minister. “Amma has done a lot for all of us, nothing should happen to her, we are praying for her wellness,” said a party supporter.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayansami wished speedy recovery to Jayalalithaa. Her supporters gathered outside the hospital where Jayalalithaa was
admitted. “Amma should live hundred years, she is the goddess for Tamil Nadu,” said another worker. People have been visiting temples, mosques and churches to pray for Amma’s speedy recovery.
Won’t allow Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees to release in Maharashtra: MNS’ ‘direct threat’
(H.S.) | Mumbai In what could spell trouble for Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar, Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karmachari Sena — the film wing of the Raj Thackeray-led MNS — on Friday made it clear that they not just want Pakistani actors to leave India but will also stall the release of Raees and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in Maharashtra. Both the films have Pakistani actors in pivotal roles — while Mahira Khan is SRK’s leading lady in Raees, Fawad Khan plays
an important role in Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Talking to indianexpress. com, Shalini Thackeray, general secretary of MNS Chitrapat Karamchari Sena, said, “It is not a veiled threat. It’s a direct threat to producers like SRK and Karan Johar who take Pakistani actors in their movies. You can’t find Indian actors for your films? In this 125 crore Indian population, can’t you find a single Indian actor to cast in your films that you import people from a place like Pakistan, a country with
which we all are facing a problem. It’s not a veiled threat but a direct threat. We will not allow the release of these movies here.” When asked if in the eventuality of Karan Johar and SRK agreeing to MNS terms, would the party allow the films to be released since shooting for both films with Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan are almost over, Shalini said, “That’s for them to decide what they should be doing with their films that has Pakistani actors. We will not allow films with Pakistani’s actors to be released here in Maharashtra. We are sending letters to all producers and would request them to cooperate with us, which we hope they will in Maharashtra. If they don’t, we will stop the shoot wherever Pakistani actors are involved. ”
know how things will pan out. But the painful progression to that climatic point is filled with uniformly terrible acting, clichéd situations and shouty, obvious dialogue. Fakhri’s actorly limitations are obvious even in the song-anddance sequences. And her choice of attire for the slum tourism the film ties to pass off truism is very short shorts-andsinglets: every single male character she passes
or sits alongside, has got his eyeballs hanging out. If that’s not cringe-making, I don’t know what is. The gawking males with wandering eyes includes Deshmukh’s leading man, who calls her ‘madam’, and promptly and predictably falls for her. The only time the film stops trying your patience somewhat is when it bursts into song, and even there, it has only one which is foot-tapping.
comedy, is yet another disaster. Even a powerful star like Dhanush has been underutilised in the film, thanks to the paltry script and its treatment. A pantry boy falls in love with a make-up artist and they are both aboard a speeding train. A gang of highly-suspicious dacoits gets aboard the train
after fooling the police force. In the middle of all this is a ridiculous central minister (veterinary!), accompanied by a hot-headed NSG commando. A pantry boy trying to save 700 passengers on board is a long shot which needed a powerful script. And that’s where Thodari’s biggest weakness lies.
Banjo movie review: Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri film has no redeeming features (H.S.) | New Delhi
I had hopes from Banjo because of a couple of things: director Ravi Jadhav has done a bunch of good Marathi films (Natarang is terrific; Balak Palak places an important conversation at the heart of a ‘children’s’ film; Balgandharva has great music), and lead actor Riteish Deshmukh is light on his feet, even in the broadest comedies he almost always seems to be seen in. But Banjo has practically no redeeming features. It is about a NRI musician’s (Nargis Fakhri) search for an original sound which leads her to the banjo artist Tarraat (Riteish Deshmukh) and his ragtag band, and what happens next. Because underdogs have to win, we

Movies are supposed to entertain, educate or give a social message. And then there is Dhanush-starrer Thodari (Rail in Telugu), directed by Prabhu Solomon. You get the feeling that Thodari must have been one hell of a story; it is the execution which is miserable. It is built like a thriller where the audience knows the end while the characters don’t. When the genre is romantic thriller, the story is expected to tilt towards either romance or thrill, or brilliantly balance them both. Thodari fails here as well. And the romance, splashed with half-baked

Two IIT alumunus to get MacArthur Fellowship for exceptional creativity
(H.S.) | New Delhi Creating more sports academies for individual sports, identifying 10 priority sports and making sports bodies more accountable are all part of the NITI Aayog’s 20-point draft action plan to improve India’s performance at the Olympics. With India missing out in the recently concluded Rio Olympics, despite several near-perfect performances and returning with just two medals, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had set up a task force to prepare an action-plan for the next three Olympics till 2028. The draft action
plan, which was released on Wednesday for public comments, is in line with the target set for the nation to be able to win 50 medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics. For the short-term, the government’s think tank believes identifying 10 priority sports with high winning potential and developing an outcome-oriented action plan for each of these sports will be crucial. It has also suggested that sportspersons should be organised in three groups in accordance with the last four-year performances for each of these priority sports. Explaining the reasons for identifying the priority sports, NITI
Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said that countries such as Kenya and Jamaica participate in only two Olympics sports and yet get medal tally of 100 and 78 respectively. He said countries such as the UK have developed sports business plan to support high performance sports, improving their medal tally significantly since 1968 and India can learn from this. Harnessing the potential of national sports talent, especially in tribal, rural and coastal areas, recruiting world class coaches and grading them according to performance and strengthening and scaling up existing Sports Authority of India (SAI) training centres are among the other recommendations. NITI Aayog also believes that ethical practices and better governance structure are essential to make sports bodies more accountable and has recommended implementation of the Draft National Sports Development Bill to tackle issues such as carrying out anti-doping measures and prevention of fraud of age among others.
Indian campaign ends as Srikanth goes down fighting
(H.S.) | Tokyo K Srikanth fought hard before going down in a gruelling three-game men’s singles quarterfinal against experienced German Marc Zweibler competition to draw curtains on the Indian challenge at the Japan Super Series badminton tournament ay. The eighth seed, playing his first tournament after the Rio Olympics, suffered a narrow 21-18
14-21 19-21 loss to World No. 15 Marc in a 58-minute battle here. Srikanth came into the match with a 2-1 head-to-head record, having beaten Marc the last time at the China Open but there was hardly anything to differentiate the two players as both fought tooth and nail. Srikanth had to push himself hard right in the middle of the opening game when after an initial neck and neck battle he found
himself five points adrift of Marc at 10-15. But the Indian changed gears and reeled off eight straight points from 12-16 to surpass the German. Marc saved two game points before Srikanth grabbed the opening game to be 1-0 up. In the second game, Marc broke off at 6-6 and kept his nose ahead despite some spirited fight from Srikanth to level the score at 1-1. In the decider, it was another gruelling battle but Srikanth managed to keep himself ahead for most part after opening up a 6-2 lead. However, Marc produced a rearguard action to not only catch up with the Indian at 16—16 but turn the tables at 1816. Marc managed to grab two match points at 20-18. Srikanth saved one but the German sealed it at the next opportunity.
a times, these complaints are made public and it is important to know the identity of the person filing a complaint. The issue was raised during the AGM and the BCCI office-bearers have assured to prepare fresh guidelines for the new ombudsman,” a BCCI member told Hindustan Times. One of the suggestions to the BCCI in this regard was to base the new guidelines on
the lines of filing an affidavit for a legal proceeding. “When one files an affidavit in the court, the complainant has to disclose all the details from address proof to affixing a photograph. “We have urged the BCCI to base the procedures of filing a complaint with the BCCI on similar grounds. Approaching the ombudsman is similar to a legal approach,” said another BCCI member.

ning ways against third tier Northampton Town in the cup encounter on Wednesday and Rooney will be looking for revenge against City when the sides clash at Old Trafford in late October. “For me, I think it’s the perfect draw,” he told MUTV. “With what happened in the league, it’s a chance for us to get revenge for that result. It’s going to be a great atmosphere. “I think City will have 7,000-8,000 fans here, which will obviously make it an even bet-
ter atmosphere. I think a cup game against City at Old Trafford is the perfect draw for us.” Rooney also remains convinced that United will be in contention for silverware this season, despite an underwhelming start. “I think he’s (Mourinho) been brilliant since he’s come in,” the midfielder said. “Training has changed a lot. The training has been really good and it’s interesting to see how he prepares for games with tactics, how we approach games, and it’s been really good. “I’m sure obviously we will come back and definitely be challenging this season.” The 30-yearold has come under intense media scrutiny for his lacklustre performances this season but Rooney said he chose to ignore “rubbish” criticism.

Doctors have performed bariatric surgery — reducing the size of the stomach using a gastric band — on a three-yearold child in Surat to stop uncontrolled weight gain after his weight shot up to 37 kg. Weighing 4 kg at birth, Aansh, son of Surat-based textile trader Naresh Patel, gained 17 kg in his first year. When Aansh’s parents consulted doctors regarding his uncontrolled hunger and weight gain, it was found that he was resistant to leptin or “satiety hormone” which helps regulate energy balance by
inhibiting hunger. When Aansh was two-and-ahalf-year-old, his weight touched 37 kg. “We saw a drastic change in his weight and dietary habits… He could eat all the day without being sated. We visited an endocrinologist as Aansh also had difficulty in breathing during sleep. After we failed to control his weight gain, then we decided to go for temporary weight loss through bariatric surgery,” said Naresh Patel. The boy was operated upon in Surat on September 13.
