✅Gs-3 : Inclusive growth-Before reading this present article, read these in the same order( Series of articles by Arun Maira )
🅾️Problems of Indian economy : Criticism of Raghuram Rajan's work
⚜️1. What is the primary challenge in India's economic structure-mismatch between skills, jobs, and incomes
⚜️2. Why have economic theories failed?-They overlook the essence of development which includes learning and skill acquisition they are developed by analyzing numbers rather than experiences.
⚜️3. Why does investing in 'adjacencies' in work and skills matter?-Investing in adjacencies—areas of work that are closely related to what people are already doing—can help workers climb the skill-income ladder more effectively.
🅾️ Suggestions
⚜️1. Shift from focusing on high-end services and large manufacturing to local webs of economic activity.
⚜️2. Increasing the masses' earning and purchasing power

✅Short selling - Naked short selling ban
🅾️Short selling is an investment strategy where an investor borrows shares and sells them on the market, hoping to buy them back later at a lower price. For example, if an investor anticipates that Adani's stock will drop from ₹1800 to ₹1700, they borrow and sell it at the current high price (₹1800). Later, if the price drops as expected to ₹1700, they buy the same number of shares back at this lower price, return the shares to the lender, and keep the difference (₹100 per share) as profit.
🅾️In the Adani case, Hindenburg Research released a report alleging financial misconduct by the Adani Group. This led to a drop in Adani's share price, and there were claims that Hindenburg profited from this price fall through short selling.

✅Gs-3: Inclusive growth
🅾️What is K shaped recovery?-The term refers to a situation where parts of the economy recover at different rates after a downturn
🅾️Present article : The report argues against claims that India is experiencing such a recovery, implying the report suggests that all sections of the economy are improving together rather than some parts getting richer while others get poorer.
📍Reasons provided :
⚜️1. A significant portion of small companies are growing into larger ones, indicating economic development.
⚜️2. People are spending more on services like food delivery
⚜️3. The number of people in the higher income bracket has increased.
⚜️4. The report also mentions that the decrease in two-wheeler sales is not a good indicator of distress in the rural economy

#Economy
✅Budget 2024- How is our money spent?
🅾️High interest payments can:
⚜️Reduce the money available for welfare programs and services.
⚜️Decrease funds for capital expenditures (CapEx), which are crucial for long-term investments in infrastructure and development.
⚜️Affect the country's sovereign credit ratings negatively, making borrowing more expensive.
⚜️Create a cycle of debt where the government ends up borrowing more to pay off existing loans.
📍Relevant concept here : Ricardian equivalence- It is an economic theory suggesting that government borrowing doesn't affect the overall level of demand in the economy because people anticipate higher taxes in the future to pay off the debt, leading to an increase in savings.

✅Section 43 B(h) of Income tax act.
🅾️Background : Under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, payments to MSMEs should be made within 45 days of accepting goods or services if there is a written contract. If no such agreement exists-15 days. Section 43B (h) of the Income Tax Act reinforces this by stipulating that such payments will be allowed as a deduction for the buying company only if made within the timeframe . Otherwise, the amount due would be treated as income - thus taxable.
🅾️Challenge : some buyers, to avoid the stringent conditions of timely payments, might prefer to engage with suppliers not registered under UDYAM, hence not protected by the provisions of the MSMED Act= registered MSMEs at a disadvantage, potentially leading to longer payment cycles or even loss of business as buyers shift to unregistered suppliers to circumvent the regulations.
