  4. INDIRECT TAXATION Index • Central, State clears bulk laws of GST • The Centre and states covered significant distance on the path towards rollout of goods and services tax (GST) when they cleared the bulk of laws for central and state GST. But the April 1, 2017, deadline for implementation of the country's biggest indirect tax reform is almost ruled out as there was no headway on the contentious issue of division of administration. • GST has to be rolled out by September 16 as the current tax regime will lapse by then. The laws will now be legally vet ted after which the drafts will be sent to states for final views before they are passed by the council, the highest decision-making body for this tax regime.Once these laws are passed by the council, the central GST law will go to Parliament for approval while state assemblies will need to clear the state GST law.

  6. ACCOUNTING & AUDIT Index • Demonetization and its impact on Inflation • The demonetization that has been in effect since November 9 is expected to have a negative impact on inflation. Consumer spending activity fell to a near halt. Consumers are refraining from making any purchases except essential items from the consumer staples, healthcare, and energy segments. Activity in the real estate sector, which includes a lot of cash and undocumented transactions, slowed down significantly, Metropolitan and Tier 1 cities reported up to a 30% fall in house prices. • Food item inflation, measured by changes in the Consumer Food Price Index, accounts for 47.3% of the overall CPI. Due to 86.4% of the value of the currency notes in circulation going out of the financial system and re-monetization being slow, the supply and demand of food items fell. It will exert more downward pressure on inflation. • Investors in India-focused funds should continue to monitor CPI inflation. It will determine future rate cuts by the RBI. A change in the repo rate will impact interest rate–sensitive sectors and industries like financials and automobiles, among other sectors like the tech sector. Newsletter – January 2017
