👉🏻The article talks about the upcoming Sixteenth Finance Commission. There have been many changes and challenges since the last commission, including the impact of COVID-19 and increasing debt.

👉🏻One important aspect is how much money the central government should share with the states. The Fourteenth Finance Commission increased the share of states from central taxes, but now there's a debate on whether it should be increased further.

👉🏻Some suggest freezing the share of certain taxes if they exceed a certain limit to ensure a balance.

👉🏻Another point is how the money is distributed among the states. Right now, it depends on factors like population, income, and area. Some people argue that there should be more focus on helping poorer states, especially in education and health.

👉🏻The article also talks about the debt of the central and state governments, which is higher than it should be. There's a need for better management of finances, and some reforms are being suggested, like setting up a loan council to oversee borrowing and spending. Additionally, there should be incentives for states to maintain good financial health and consequences for those that exceed their borrowing limits.

👉🏻India recently banned the export of non basmati white rice due to rising domestic prices caused by weather-related issues affecting rice production.

👉🏻This ban has led to concerns among Non Resident Indians (NRIs) in the US, who are worried about the availability and cost of rice.

👉🏻As a result, many NRIs in the US are buying large quantities of rice from local grocery stores in anticipation of potential shortages and further price increases.

👉🏻The ban has also affected the global rice market, as India is the world's largest exporter of rice, accounting for 40% of global rice exports. This has disrupted the Asian rice trade and caused traders to predict that rice prices will increase in the coming days. With rice being a staple food for billions of people worldwide, the ban has raised fears of inflation and created panic buying among NRIs in various regions like North America, Europe, and West Asia.

In a recent incident, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) fined IndiGo, an airline, for unsafe landings resulting in tail strikes during recent flights.

👉🏻The airline has been trying to save fuel by using a technique called "flap 3 landing," which involves using only three of the four flaps on the wing during landing. This saves fuel but increases the risk of a tail strike, where the tail of the aircraft hits the runway.


👉🏻The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is a statutory body of the Government of India to regulate civil aviation in India. It became a statutory body under the Aircraft (Amendment) Act, 2020. The DGCA investigates aviation accidents and incidents, maintains all regulations related to aviation.

👉🏻A senior advocate, Kapil Sibal, representing the National Federation of Indian Women, brought attention to a 2018 judgment of the Supreme Court that warned against the rising trend of mob violence and the need to address it urgently. The court had highlighted how fake news, false stories, and communal hate were fueling these acts of mobocracy.

👉🏻The 2018 judgment directed States to form Special Task Forces to gather intelligence on potential incidents of hate speeches, mob violence, and lynchings. It also made it clear that the Central and State governments have a duty to prevent the dissemination of messages inciting violence and lynchings.

👉🏻The judgment emphasized that the police should promptly register FIRs, arrest the accused, conduct thorough investigations, and file charge sheets in cases related to mob violence and lynchings.

👉🏻Stapled Visa

👉🏻A stapled visa is a type of visa issued by a country to foreign nationals that is not physically stamped onto the passport pages like a regular visa. Instead, it is attached to the passport using staples or pins and can be easily removed.

👉🏻In this case, China issued stapled visas to three athletes from India's wushu contingent who belong to Arunachal Pradesh, a region that China claims as its own. However, India considers Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of its territory. This has led to tensions between the two countries as India views the stapled visas as a form of discrimination and differential treatment based on the athletes' domicile or ethnicity.

👉🏻As a result of this issue, India decided to withdraw its eight-athlete wushu team from the Summer World University Games in Chengdu as a way of protesting against China's practice of issuing stapled visas to its citizens. India believes that there should be no discrimination in the visa regime and has consistently opposed the use of stapled visas by China.

👉🏻The Supreme Court of India is considering an urgent request from the government to allow the Enforcement Directorate (ED) Director, Mr. Sanjay Kumar Mishra, to continue in his position until October 15.

NOTE: The Supreme Court had previously directed him to step down from his position by July 31, stating that his continued presence in the ED was illegal due to multiple extensions.

👉🏻The government has sought this extension because the ongoing evaluation by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is at a crucial stage. They believe that Mr. Mishra's knowledge and experience are essential to assist the assessment team with necessary reports and information.

👉🏻The government argues that a leadership change in the ED at this critical juncture could adversely impact India's national interests.
