There are many different kinds of tax paid by us in India; however we don't have a lot of clarity on each kind of tax and what it means. Hence I thought I will give a brief overview of the overall India taxation system. So in this post I will explain various kind of taxes one by one and their categories.
Direct Tax vs. Indirect Tax
Before explaining each kind of taxes, first understand that there are two categories of taxes, which are called direct tax and indirect tax.
Direct Tax – As the name suggests, Direct taxes are those taxes which are directly paid by the person/entity to the government. The best example for this is – Income Tax, where we have to pay the income tax on our earned income to the govt directly at the end of the financial year.
The direct taxes are the one which pinches the investor's maximum because they clearly see it going out of their pocket.
Indirect Tax – Indirect taxes are those kind of taxes, which are collected by govt from the intermediary or manufacturer, but eventually which is passed to the users only. So we pay these taxes also from our pocket, however it's taken from us in a very indirect way by included it in the price of the product itself. So we always hear the final price (price + tax) and it does not pinch us a lot because most of the times we don't even realize that we are paying that tax.
A good example of this is "Service tax". So when you go to a restaurant, you can see that the service tax is added to the bill and you make the payment for it. The hotel then pays this service tax to the govt only.
Jurisdiction of Taxes – Central , State and Local
You already know that India has federal structure and there are govt's at center and different states and they have to arrange for their own income from various sources. So taxes fall under 3 jurisdictions, which is
- Central Govt
- State Govt
- Local Govt
So some taxes go to the central govt and some go to state govt and few goes to the local city municipality. Below chart gives you a crisp idea about it.
10 types of Taxes we pay in India
We will now see various kinds of taxes we pay in India. I will explain each of them. We will first see the major taxes which impact us in a big way and which are the major taxes from which govt gets the revenue, then we will see the other taxes in brief
1. Income Tax
The tax which everybody is aware is Income tax. This is levied on the income earned in a year by an individual or a business body. The 12 month period considered for the taxation is from Apr 1st to Mar 31. The incomes is categorized under 5 heads namely
- Salaries
- House property
- Business Income
- Capital Gains
- Others
A person has to hence, find out all their income and see which heads they are falling into. For most of the people who are salaried class, it's only one head "Salary" and a bit on the "Others" section like interest income from FD, saving bank account or dividend incomes.
The income tax for Individuals is calculated based on the different slabs, which are as follows
So if a person salary is 8 lacs per year, there will be no tax on the first 2.5 lacs, Then 10% tax will be applicable on the income from 2.5 lacs to 5 lacs, which will be 25,000 and 20% on the income from 5 lacs to 8 lacs, which is Rs 60,000 , totaling his income tax to Rs 85,000 for the year.
Below is a snapshot of income categories and number of people who fall under them along with the % share of their income tax as of 2012
Income tax is something which almost everyone is aware about because one has to deal with it directly.
2. VAT (Value Added Tax)
VAT is an indirect tax levied by a state when some good is sold within the state. So if some goods is sold within Karnataka (Bangalore -> Mysore), the Karnataka Govt will levy VAT on the goods sold.
VAT is a tax which is not very visible to a common man in their day to day life, but its present in almost every sector and goods. Each small thing which we consume today has gone through multiple stages of production and VAT is paid at each stage by the manufacturer and eventually the final consumer pays for it (Bundled within MRP)
For example, when you buy a mobile phone, you also pay the VAT, which goes to the govt, but paid by seller. The seller actually gets a lesser amount. For example in the below example, you can see the invoice of an Asus Zenfone mobile bought online by my wife. You can see that out of Rs 10790 which was paid, Rs 1325 (14%) was the VAT which went to the govt.
Note that VAT rates are subject to states, hence the rates change from one state to another. This is the reason why some goods are cheaper in one state and expensive in another.
CST (Central Sales Tax)
Note that VAT is a state level tax, however when a good is sold from one state to another, then the tax is called CST or Central Sales Tax which goes to the central govt.
So when a seller in Maharashtra sells some goods to a consumer in any other state (like Tamil Nadu), then it's not the VAT, but CST which applies and it goes to the central govt wallet 🙂
3. Service Tax
Service tax is another very important tax which was introduced in year 1994. It's a tax charges for providing services. Like in case of restaurants, when they serve us for food, they are providing us a service, hence we are charged service tax on a certain portion of bill amount.
In the same way, when you hire services of a consultant, they will charge you a service tax and pay it to govt. It depends if they have charged you the service tax on top of the fees or they have included the service tax in the price itself and tell you the final amount. In any case, service tax is to be paid to govt if the revenue of the service provider is more than 10 lacs in a financial year.
Increase in service tax revenue in India
Over the last decade service tax has become of the major tax collected by govt and it has been increasing year on year. It's mainly because the number of services on which service tax is applicable has been increasing year on year in last decade and even the rate has increased. At this point of time the service tax applicable is 15% (including the swachh bharat cess of 0.5% and Krishi Kalyan cess of 0.5%). Below you can see how the service tax revenue has increased in last 20 yrs.
Negative List concept in Service tax
Few years back, there was a list of services which was issued by govt, on which service tax was applicable, and if a service is not on that list, it was not applicable. However few years back, it's changed and now a "negative list" concept in introduced, which means that service tax is now applicable on every service which exists. Only on few services which are part of the negative list will be exempted from service tax.
Some of the services on which service tax is not applicable are
- Services by Govt
- Admission to entertainment events
- Metered cabs, radio taxis or auto rickshaws
Service tax is now part of our day to day life. We eat in restaurants, stay in hotels, and take various kinds of services every month/year and if you calculate the total amount of service tax you pay, you will be amazed to see the number.
4. Excise Duty
Few years back, when I used to see the budget speech, I eagerly waited for the income tax related announcements and wanted to know is 80C limits have been raised or if tax limits are changed. I happily ignored "excise duty" related announcements because frankly speaking, it made no sense to me.
How does it matter if to me if the excise duty on mobile handsets was increased? I never understood what all that means. However now I know how important excise duty is for the govt and what is it related to common man.
Excise duty (also called CENVAT) is the tax which is levied by govt at the time of manufacturing of the goods. It's as simple as that. It does not matter if you hire someone to manufacture the goods or you do it yourself, but if you manufacture some goods, you will have to pay the excise duty if your turnover exceeds Rs 1.5 crore.
Now obviously, the excise duty is a cost for the manufacturer and it's eventually passed on to the consumer. If excise duty didn't exist, the prices of the goods would come down by that much margin. So assume you start manufacturing some goods at mass scale, and if it's in the list of the "excisable goods", which means goods on which excise duty applies, one has to pay the excise duty to the govt. So if we take example of cars, as it's a big ticket items, even a slight change in excise duty means the prices go up by a big amount. See the example below
Excise Duty on Petrol & diesel
Lets understand this better with petrol & diesel prices. The raw petroleum which is bought by the oil companies is the base price. After that when they refine it and convert it to the usable petrol and diesel, VAT and Excise duty is applied which increase the final price of the petrol, add to that the dealer commissions and we get the final price which we pay. The chart below shows the breakup of the petrol prices (for the year 2014).
Source : Livemint
Excise duty is one of the biggest revenue generators for the govt, because the amount of manufacturing which takes place all over the country is huge.
5. Customs Duty
Custom duty is the tax levied on the items imported from other countries to India or exported out of India. So when you buy something from Amazon US and want it to be shipped to India, you are actually importing it, and hence a custom duty will be charged separately.
Below is an duty rate for various products categories which is taken from this website
|Category / Product to Import
|Total Duty Rate
|Laptops, Notebooks, Computers
|Tablets, iPad
|Laptop Battery
|iPod, Music Players
|Software CDs and DVDs
|Computer Printers
|Hard Disk (internal)
|Hard Disk (external)
|Web Cameras
|Computer Processor
|Internet Modem
|Other Computer Peripherals
|Cables and Wires
|Television Sets (TV)
|Movie CDs, DVDs and Blue Ray
|Video Games and Game Consoles
|Mobile Phones
|Phone Accessories
|Digital Cameras and Video Camcorder
|Camera Lens (Photography)
|Sports Equipment
|Books (Educational)
|Free (No duty)
|Car Parts
|Toys and Games
|Stationery Items
|Cosmetic Goods
|Hand Watches (Wrist Watches)
|Sun Glasses
|Apparel (Clothes)
|Fashion Accessories
|Artificial Jewellery
|Shoes (Retail Price < 1k INR)
|Shoes (Retail Price > 1k INR)
|Kitchen and Dining
|Food Supplements, Body Building
No Custom duty upto Rs 25,000 while travelling back to India
Note that if you are coming back to India, then upto Rs 25,000 worth of goods can be brought back without any custom duty, but beyond that you will have to pay the duty. This is applicable on most of the items. You can read more about this below in an answer given by Jai Veer on Quora
We have now covered major 5 taxes which needed more detailing and explanation, now we are going to see other taxes, but we will now see them in a crisp manner and not go too much into detail
6. Professional Tax
Professional tax is levied by the state govt for all the salaried employees and some professionals like CA, Lawyers etc. If you see your salary slip, you can see the amount of professional tax deducted. Note that the tax slab depends on the state in which you are working and the amount of salary you have per month. Every state has different slab rates. Below is an example of few states.
Many states do not have professional tax, for example – Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and many more ..
7. Capital Gains tax
Capital gains tax is the tax which is levied on the gains which are arised by the sale of a capital asset like property, vehicle, jewelery, bonds, land or machinery.
This tax is not applicable each year, but only in the year when the capital asset is sold or transferred to some other party. The gains are categorized as either short term capital gains or long term capital gains depending on the duration you hold the property. Here is a very good video on this topic which explains capital gains.
The calculation for this tax is not very straightforward and involves a bit of working, hence we are not covering it here. As of now, just understand that if you purchase a property at cost C , and sell if after some years at sale price S. Then your capital gains will be calculated and you will have to pay tax on that. Cleartax has a very good tutorial on capital gain, which is worth reading if you want to learn in detail.
8. Entertainment Tax
Entertainment tax is the state level tax levied on the tickets for the cinema and other entertainment shows. It's also levied on the stage shows, amusement parks and many sports activities. Most of us can relate the entertainment tax with the movie tickets. If you see your movie ticket closely, you will see that a good chunk of the cost goes into the entertainment tax.
Maharashtra charges one of the highest entertainment tax at 45% and I am not very happy with that because I am a movie buff 🙂 . However some relief for me, because I see a lot of Marathi movies too (which are exceptionally good most of the times) and which does have entertainment tax (regional movies generally don't have entertainment tax in the home state). Below you can see the slab rates for all the states in India for entertainment tax.
9. Stamp Duty
Stamp duty is a kind of tax which is levied when a legal document is executed. Most of us can understand it in real estate terms. So when we buy a property and we execute the agreement to sale, the stamp duty is charged as a percentage of the property value which is mentioned in the agreement or the govt read
Most of the times this stamp duty is in range of 4-6% depending on the state. This stamp duty is paid every time a sale is made in property, which means if the same property exchanges hands 5 times in 10 yrs period, the govt will get the stamp duty 5 times. Below is the slab rate for stamp duty in various Indian states. Note that this data is a bit old and there might be slight changes at present, so please consider the chart below only as a reference point.
Hence, this way stamp duty becomes a revenue source for the state government.
10. Property Tax
Property tax is the tax paid by property owner every year. This tax is a local municipal level tax and the rate is decided by the local municipality. The amount of tax depends on various factors like the size of property, kind of property (residential or commercial), age of the property and many more. Just for reference, in a city like Pune, I know that the property tax for a 2 BHK flat comes around Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000 approx.
Apart from the taxes above, there are various other small taxes which are paid from time to time like toll tax, dividend distribution tax, securities transaction tax, luxury tax and Octrai. We have not covered them in this article, but you can read about them separately
Let us know what do you think about the tax system in India and if you feel you are over burdened with taxes?

"Do you know anything about these flowers?"
The young woman's eyes were hopeful but I had to disappoint her and explain that I did not work in the hospital gift shop. I was just there to stock the book rack. I pointed to two ladies at a nearby counter. "Maybe they can help," I said.
She nodded, stared at the flower display and sighed. "I'm not really sure what I want."
I took note of her dress then – a baseball cap pulled over messy hair; a thin pair of pyjama bottoms topped by a hospital issue housecoat wrapped around a frail frame; pull-on terrycloth slippers, two sizes too big.
"My friend is dying," she said, then turned back to me. "I am too."
I put my clipboard down and waited. Her story unfolded in simple language, the words slipping from her mouth almost as though rehearsed. She reached into a pocket and pulled out a picture of her seven year old daughter. I could see the resemblance. She smiled when I mentioned it and went on to say there was a surgery that she was hoping for – highly experimental, there was only one doctor who could do it and he just happened to live in a nearby city. But then her voice fell and I had to lean close to hear. Her friend had had the surgery. She was still dying.
The conversation turned to the word hope then. She had hope they would agree to do the surgery, hope that, unlike her friend, she would recover, hope that she would live to watch her daughter grow up.
She said a pastor came to visit sometimes and "we say our small prayers together. They seem small, just words, but maybe not, eh?" Again that hopeful look in her eyes.
I was praying small prayers right then. She's so young, Lord. Please. Please.
Then she was gone and I resumed stocking the rack. I do it once a month and in that hospital, the rack is usually almost empty by the time I return. As I filled the pockets with books I was acutely aware of their contents. They hold pages about the love and mercy of Jesus, pages filled with stories of courage and faith, pages of humour to lift a sad heart and inspiration to encourage a weary soul. Pages of hope.
I knew I was sent there that day to do much more than "just stock the book racks," but my job suddenly seemed important. My other job, as a writer, suddenly seemed essential, "That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works." (Ps. 26:7, KJV).

An Unbiased Review of JP Morgan's Q1 2010 Results Yields Less Roses Than the Maintream Media Presents
The JP Morgan Q1 2010 review and analysis is available to download for all paying subscribers: JP Morgan Q1 2010 Review. Just this morning I posted an article describing how much of the mainstream media suffers from diminishing revenues due to the fact that they simply rubber stamp soundbites and produce reports that are simply cardboard cutouts of what is pushed out by Reuters and the AP.org. Well, JP Morgan's latest quarterly earnings release is a perfect example. Before you go on, I recommend reading "Are Blogs Truly Competitive With the Mainstream Media in Terms of Quality of Content?".
A scouring of the news from last week yields (and this is from the cream of the crop, may I add):
WSJ: J.P. Morgan Earnings: A Beat!
We're off to another day of earnings and the big one of the day comes courtesy of J.P. Morgan Chase, which beat earnings expectations from Wall Street analysts on both the top and the bottom lines in its report out earlier this morning... Importantly, a big part of the better-than-expected performance on the bottom line came from J.P. Morgan socking away less cash to cover loans it expects to go bad. Dow Jones reports that J.P. Morgan's managed credit-loss provisions were $7.01 billion, down from $10.06 billion a year earlier and $8.9 billion in the previous quarter... As we mentioned before, onlookers are hoping that this earnings season brings a bit more clarity to weather the worst is over for the banks, and J.P. Morgan's results are a good sign.
J.P. Morgan Earnings Takeaways
Short version: We're at an inflection point for the loan losses that have dogged banks... Just as a refresher, better credit trends can translate into better earnings for banks, as they move some of the cash they socked away to cover the losses they previously expected, and move that money back into the earnings column.
Reuters: JPMorgan earnings set bar high for U.S. banks
JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) reported quarterly profit that beat forecasts and set a high bar for rivals, as investment banking earnings gained, loan losses slowed and Chief Executive Jamie Dimon sounded an atypically optimistic note about the prospects for a strong U.S. economic recovery.
NYTimes.com: JPMorgan's Profit Soars Despite Downturn
Jul 17, 2009 ... A new order is emerging on Wall Street — one in which Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are starting to tower over former financial titans.
Now, here are some excerpts from my reader's subscriber material (JP Morgan Q1 2010 Review):
...Revenues from principal transactions accounted for 16.4% of the total revenues in 1Q10 against 3.6% in 4Q09 and 8.0% in 1Q09. The highly volatile nature of the trading revenues trickles down to create large fluctuations in the total revenues and income levels. Over the last six quarters, while the revenues from core investment banking and commercial banking has shown little recovery, the total net revenues have been recording substantial fluctuations.
Looking at the revenue growth in various segments in 1Q10, revenues from principal transactions more than doubled compared to same quarter last year to reach $4.5 billion. Income from core investment banking including advisory and underwriting grew 5.4% (y-o-y) to $1.4 billion. Asset management revenues increased 12.7% (y-o-y) to $3.2 billion. Business contraction in the commercial banking operations is reflected in the decline of the related revenue streams. Lending & deposit-related fees declined 2.5% (y-o-y) to $1.6 billion. Mortgage fees and related income declined 58.9% (y-o-y) to $0.6 billion and credit card income declined 25.9% (y-o-y) to $1.4 billion. The decline in mortgage and credit card related income emanated from a the decline in securitization transactions. In 1Q10, the total mortgage origination volume declined to $31.7 billion from $37.7 billion in 1Q09. See The Next Step in the Bank Implosion Cycle??? for a more on how this could end with Pan-European drama unfolding (a quick excerpt):
We have explored this in forensic detail for subscribers, and have offered a free preview for visitors to the blog: (JPM Public Excerpt of Forensic Analysis Subscription 2009-09-18 00:56:22 488.64 Kb), which is free to download, and JPM Report (Subscription-only) Final - Professional, or JPM Forensic Report (Subscription-only) Final- Retail as well as a free blog article on BAC off balance sheet exposure If a Bubble Bubble Bursts Off Balance Sheet, Will Anyone Be There to Hear It?: Pt 3 - BAC).
Now, back to the present...
...The reported net interest income grew 2.6% (y-o-y) to $13.7 billion from $13.3 in 1Q09 largely owing to consolidation of securitized assets which added nearly $2.0 billion of net interest income. The net interest income from the core portfolio declined due to contraction in interest earning assets. Total interest earning assets and total loans (after adjustments for consolidation of securitized loans in 1Q10) declined 4.5 %( y-o-y) and 14.0 %( y-o-y), respectively.
Interest income declined 6.0% (y-o-y) to $16.8 billion owing to continued contraction in interest earning assets. Interest expense came down 31.2% (y-o-y) owing to decline in borrowing costs (an increase in net borrowing costs, ie. Interest rates, will severely impact this bank's bottom line). The interest rate spread improved to 3.24% owing to improvement in yield on interest earning assets as well as decline in average rate on interest earning liabilities.
However, the improvement in yield on interest earning assets was as result of consolidation of securitized loans. According to JPM reported figures, while the net yield on interest earning assets improved to 3.32% in 1Q10 against 3.02% in 4Q09, after adjusting for the consolidation of securitized loans, the net yield on interest earning assets declined marginally to 3.32% in 1Q10 against 3.33% in 4Q09.
While marginal recovery was observed in delinquency rate trends, we feel JPM has been too quick to draw optimistic conclusions and has drastically reduced provisioning for loan losses. Of course, since such a provision reduction immediately improves accounting earnings (the fodder of Wall Street analysts) as well as numbing the following analysts and media in the case of an increase due to the constant barrage of credit losses. On one hand, the gross charge-offs increased sharply in 1Q10 largely owing to consolidation of securitized credit card loans, on the other hand, the provisions for loan losses were further cut, which led to reduction in allowance for loan losses. This is counterintuitive, and should have been picked up by all of those who proclaimed the "record quarter" for JPM! On a managed basis, the gross charge-offs increased 36% (y-o-y) to $8.5 billion from $6.2 billion in 1Q09, the provisions for credit losses declined 30.0% to $7.0 billion from $10.0 billion in 1Q09.
...The delinquencies of JPM's total portfolio showed some sign of moderation, but are still at elevated levels. However, further deterioration is still observed in the acquired real estate portfolio of WaMu. We alleged that this would be the case in February of last year: Is JP Morgan Taking Realistic Marks On Its WaMu Portfolio Purchase? Doubtful!
A quick excerpt from early last year...
...While the compensation expense declined marginally to $7.3 billion against $7.6 billion in 1Q09, the total non-interest expense increased to $16.1 billion from $13.4 billion in 1Q09 owing to increase in other expenses. The increase in trading revenues trickled down to the bottom line resulting in net income increasing to $3.3 billion in 1Q10 from net income of $2.1 billion in 1Q09. Diluted EPS in 1Q10 was $0.74 per share against a loss of $2.6 per share in 1Q09.
In parting, let me leave you with one of my favorite JPM Graphics...

Despite receiving mixed reviews, superstar Rajinikanth's Kabali has smashed many box office records in India and overseas. And we bring to you some of those records.
Highest Collections On Day 1
Kabali smashed the record held by Salman Khan's Sultan to become the highest opening grosser on day 1 in India. While Sultan had grossed 36.54 Crores, Kabali managed to amass a massive 53 Crore rupees.
It is to be noted that Sultan had an added advantage as it released during a festival weekend. However, Kabali was released in three Indian languages.
Conquering South India
Kabali grossed more than 100 Crores in India alone from its opening weekend, which is the best for any South Indian movie, beating the record previously held by Baahubali.
"In the domestic market, the film (Kabali) collected a whopping Rs 128 Crore from the opening weekend. It's the best ever opening for a South Indian film," trade analyst Trinath had said.
From 0 To 200 In Five Days!
The superstar-starrer became the fastest South Indian film to join the 200 Crore club. It managed to achieve this terrific feat in just 5 days from its theatrical release.
"'Kabali' is the fastest South Indian film to rake in over Rs 200 Crore at the box office worldwide in just five days. As on Tuesday (July 26), 'Kabali' has grossed Rs 205 Crore and this includes the three languages in which the film was released," Trinath told IANS.
Setting Premiere Shows On Fire
In USA, Kabali managed to collect a whopping $2 Million from its premiere shows, beating Baahubali which had collected $1.39 Million, to become the highest grosser for any Indian movie at US premieres.
In UK, the Ranjith directorial had reportedly gathered £93,835 from its premiere shows. This again, is said to be a record in the country for any Tamil movie.
Similarly, in France, Kabali was said to have garnered an impressive 41,280€, while in UAE, it had crossed the $1 Million mark from its premiere shows.

Most marketers know the phrase "too many cooks in the kitchen" all too well. If not, tell me the following scenario doesn't sound familiar: You've just been assigned to lead a new marketing initiativet. Soon after, word gets out around the office about it and before you know it, everyone there is all of a sudden a marketing and design guru with expert advice for you.
During most web design/redesign projects, the goal is to increase engagement. Usually, designers turn to direct response marketing tactics to test different fonts, wording, adding a video, inserting imagery that conveys urgency to users, etc. They test out whatever they can to achieve more engagement, but from a business point of view, they're forgetting one very important ...

Egypt to ban full women's veils
Player utilities
Listen to the Story.
Skip to content
MARCO WERMAN: In Egypt, there's a debate underway over whether Muslim women should cover their faces. Now one of the country's highest religious authorities has weighed in. Sheikh Mohammed Tantawi is head of Cairo's Al Azhar University. He recently called on a young girl to remove her niqab, which covers the face. And he suggested that he would ban female university students from wearing it. But as Aya Batrawy reports from Cairo, many women in Egypt disagree with him.
AYA BATRAWY: Young women studying the Koran at Al Azhar University, Sunni Islam's premier seat of learning. Here, they study in all-female classrooms. Most are dressed modestly and wear the hijab, or headscarf. But there are also hundreds studying here who choose to wear the niqab - a full length covering from head to toe, often black, with only a small opening for the eyes. Zizi even has her eyes obscured by a black cloth and wears black gloves. She started wearing the niqab just nine months ago and says she doesn't care if Sheikh Tantawi himself asked her to remove it, she wouldn't.
BATRAWY: [IN ARABIC] I respect him greatly, she says, but there is something greater and that is God.
Such defiance is rare, but debate over the niqab has touched a raw nerve in Egypt, where some see its increasing popularity as part of an Islamist threat to the state. Others regard wearing it as a religious duty. So when Sheikh Tantawi recently told a middle school student to remove her face veil, he sparked an outcry. According to local news reports, the sheikh told the girl that the niqab has nothing to do with Islam and is only a custom. And he was reported to have said that he would issue a fatwa, or religious edict, against wearing it in his university. In a later effort to clarify his remarks, the sheikh appeared on a popular news program hosted by a woman who does not cover her hair.
BATRAWY: He said that 99 percent of scholars agree that the niqab is not mandatory, so he is not going to follow the one percent that disagrees. And he explained why he said he urged a limited ban on the niqab.
MOHAMMED TANTAWI: [In Arabic] The higher council of Al Azhar banned the niqab in a class of all females led by a female teacher because who is she hiding her face from? Does she want to say that she is right and everyone else is wrong? If that girl wants when the class is over to put on the niqab, she is free to do so.
BATRAWY: But the ban at Al Azhar has yet to take effect and the controversy continues. Al Azhar and its head have been accused of carrying out political orders. The government has also banned the niqab from the dormitories of state universities - shutting out dozens of students who refused to un-veil. Dr. Akram Shaar, an independent member of parliament who belongs to the politically banned Muslim brotherhood, says such moves are aimed at keeping Islamists out of universities - and are an attack on civil liberties.
DR. AKRAM SHAAR: [IN ARABIC] Do we ban scantily dressed women from university dorms? No. We do not agree with banning scantily dressed women nor do we agree with banning women wearing the niqab because this is a personal decision based on free will.
BATRAWY: This is merely the latest twist in a long-running back and forth over the face veil in Egypt. Until the beginning of the 20th century, upper-class women wore a sheer, silky veil over the face as a sign of their status and wealth. Later the veil was seen as a mark of oppression - removing it was an act of women's liberation. Now many women are claiming it as a religious and civil right. Asmaa is studying at Al Azhar. All her niqab reveals are her large brown eyes.
BATRAWY: It's not right to force a girl to do something she doesn't want to do, she says, we will not allow anyone to step on our rights and the freedom to choose. Dozens of others currently barred from the dorms of Cairo University and elsewhere agree - even at the cost of an education. For The World, this is Aya Batrawy, Cairo.

Thierry Neuville finished the event in fourth place with Evgeny Novikov and Mads Østberg in fifth and eighth places overall.
The Qatar M-Sport squad were left to ask what could have been as Rallye de France-Alsace came to a close today. Having led the rally in its early phases, Qatar World Rally Team's Thierry Neuville finished the event in fourth place with the Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team Ford Fiesta RS WRCs of Evgeny Novikov and Mads Østberg in fifth and eighth places overall.
Losing almost a minute and a half to the chasing pack, the pairing were relegated to fifth place with all to do on today's remaining 56.58 kilometre distance. Unfazed by yesterday's disappointment, Neuville entered the treacherous, mud-strewn stages with one clear goal – to keep his Fiesta RS WRC firmly planted to the black-top stages and reap the rewards of any time loss ahead.
The 25-year-old's strategy worked well. Despite taking a more cautious approach for the final day, Neuville was never out of the top-three on overall stage times. When nine-time World Champion, Sébastien Loeb, fell foul of the conditions, the Belgian recovered fourth place and valuable points for his championship campaign.
Having claimed two additional points on the opening Power Stage, Neuville lost just one point to Jari-Matti Latvala and retains his strong second place in the Championship – 18 points clear of the Finn – with two rounds remaining.
In the Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team, Novikov and co-driver Ilka Minor piloted their Fiesta RS WRC to another strong result. Driving well, the Russian increased his pace throughout the weekend – setting a string of competitive times. Indeed he and Minor have given themselves a healthy base on which to build when the championship returns to the mixed stages of Rally de España later this month.
Taking an intelligent approach to what is a rally on his least preferred surface, fellow Qatar M-Sport driver, Østberg, grew in both experience and confidence throughout the weekend. Comfortably upping their pace, he and co-driver Jonas Andersson were rewarded through the morning loop as they climbed from eighth, to sixth place overall.
Unfortunately, the 25-year-old had to settle for eighth place come the end of the event having become lodged on a junction through the tricky second pass of 'Vignoble de Cleebourg' (SS18). That said, the knowledge he has gained will hold the Norwegian in good stead as the championship continues in Spain.
Elsewhere, in WRC 2, Elfyn Evans and Daniel Barritt regrouped brilliantly following a puncture on the opening day. Having fallen down to fifth place in the category rankings, the Welshman set his Ford Fiesta R5 up perfectly for the challenging conditions.
Rarely out of the top-two on individual stage times, Evans looked more than comfortable on the rain-soaked stages. Second only to ex-Formula 1 ace Robert Kubica, the 25-year-old secured his second successive podium and will be looking to take further strides as the championship continues.
Thierry Neuville (4th) said: "Obviously I am disappointed having had the opportunity to take my first win this weekend, but I have to accept it. I think that we had a really good weekend and we have definitely shown that we have the speed and the car to win rallies.
"Ultimately it was my mistake – just 10 centimetres wide in one corner. Of course it's a shame, but both 'Sebs' were here, and we were beating them, so I have to be happy with that.
"Again I need to thank the entire M-Sport team for everything they have done this weekend. This is our eleventh event in the team and we have not had a single problem with the car all season. We know that we have everything we need to secure a win this season, so now we just need to go out there and get it."
Evgeny Novikov (5th) said: "Fifth place is quite good result for us, and I think the best we could have achieved this weekend. Generally it was a good event – our driving was good and I felt confident on the stages which I know quite well. I hope that we can continue to progress like this at the final two events."
Mads Østberg (8th) said: "I was definitely more comfortable as the event went on and the speed was getting better and better which is a good thing. Of course this afternoon didn't go the way we would have wanted it to, but sometimes things do not always go to plan.
"It is always frustrating when something like that happens – especially when everything was going in the right direction. But if you look at what we have done this weekend, I think it was a big improvement which I hope to continue building on in Spain."
Elfyn Evans (2nd in WRC 2) said: "There are certainly a lot of positives that we can take from this weekend. We had a difficult start after having a bit of a break from the car since Germany and we struggled to get settled in. Then we had a puncture in the early stages that really hampered any hopes of battling with Robert [Kubica] for the lead of WRC 2.
"Saturday was a good day for us and we set some good times. But today we had some very difficult conditions and, considering the gap to Robert up front, we decided to just concentrate on getting the car home in one piece.
"All in all, there are positives to be taken, but not quite the result we wanted. We're back in Spain and GB so hopefully we can go one better there."
Team Principal, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said: "It's obviously a big disappointment that Thierry [Neuville] and Nicolas [Gilsoul, co-driver] were not able to take their first victory here this weekend – especially after dominating the first half of the event to such an extent – but there is no question that their first win is not far away.
"The way he [Neuville] recovered after the disappointment and went on to continue to set fastest times is testament to both him and the [Ford] Fiesta [RS WRC]. We know that the car is competitive on both gravel and Tarmac, and the whole team is now looking forward to Spain where we can go and challenge for the victory once again.
"In WRC 2, we also saw another solid performance from Elfyn [Evans] and Daniel [Barritt, co-driver]. The puncture on the first day inevitably set them back, but I am looking forward to Spain where I am sure they can take they battle to Robert [Kubica] and Maciek [Baran, co-driver]."

All About Nireyda
Life as a Passionate Dancer
When I dance I feel as if I am free and all emotion negative and positive leave me. Nothing could ever stop me from pursuing my dream as a becoming a professional dancer.
This was one of my favorite dances and costume when I was ten years old, when I had just started using pointe shoes.
My first performance with the Elite Academy of Dance team was at the Magoffin auditorium, where I and my team danced ballet and jazz.
My first time doing turns on pointe while recording myself.
Fouette are my favorite types of turns, which I do in most of my dances.
This song is by far one of my favorite songs, which this year I get to perform in May along with my dance team.
I will and do practice every day to become the best dancer I can be.
I love to dance and plan to never stop.

Just like the topic reads.. We migrated to a new mail server. Updated to the new mail server's IP address... It even said that we had waiting mail and that it was going to reply to each and every one of those... Well, it's been about two hours now and I have not received one e-mail. Sent several test e-mails to that account and verified its credentials are correct. Logged into the OWA and made sure I could access it that way and I can. When I send an e-mail it goes to SW Inbox for that Exchange account, and then deletes it. A few minutes later, it goes into the queue for Open Tickets/Unassigned. However, no e-mails are sent out initially or once it's assigned/updated/commented on/closed... nothing. Even the test verification e-mails were not sent, either. Help! :(

Hi there,
Just to clarify, are you having difficulties getting Spiceworks to send out e-mail updates when tickets are created/commented/etc?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "no e-mails are sent out initially". Are you saying when you test yoru email configuration, you're not even receiving test verification emails?
Are you able to send an email to the helpdesk account and have it successfully create a ticket?
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:43 UTC
Right. No verification e-mails are received in any of our e-mail accounts...
And. Yeah, tickets are being successfully created upon receipt into our firstname.lastname@example.com... but we get no e-mails regarding new tickets... and!... no e-mail to the user saying they were successfully submitted.
Please help. Our old mail server + two other servers + 15+ workstations + our intranet + SharePoint have all gone down today and we've received about 25 tickets so far within a few hours. It'd be nice to start getting notified about stuff ASAP.
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:56 UTC
If you're able to generate helpdesk tickets, then it sounds like incoming settings are fine, but your outgoing is having some trouble. Doublecheck your outgoing settings in Settings -> Email Settings.

If these drivers don't work properly, try using a Firewire cable. I found the cable works better than the Sharp drivers. (Need a IEEE 1394 connector on your PC for a firewire cable.) The five files in the zipped file were all that was on the installation CD.

Have an opinion?
Never have and never planning on it.
- meaning I always wear underwear
it's not sanitary to go without underwear...
i always wear undies
English isn't your first language is it?
I always wear them. Guess I'm a plane Jane, but I'd rather walk around with wet panties than none at all ;) Only time I've ever gone pantiless is when I have slept nude and I've only done that a handful of times.

The one pictured on the site has a longer slit up the back, which I am glad this one doesn't. I don't think I would have been completely comfortable with it.

Do you love sports, fitness and motivating others?
If you're looking for a rewarding new career which allows you to combine work and your favourite hobbies, then you should consider becoming a franchisee in the sports and fitness industry. If you're tired of your nine-to-five routine and dream of being your own boss, then buying a sports franchise could be right for you. Since the Olympics and Paralympics athletes like Mo Farah and Ellie Simmonds have become household names and the UK has seen an increased interest in sports and fitness, especially in children and young people. The demand is out there, and these careers can change lives. Why not be a part of this and reap the benefits?
Getting Started
Becoming a franchisee means becoming your own boss, an appealing option for many. However, with a sports franchise, this is not just an ordinary desk job, it requires somebody with passion, energy and a range of other skills. An ideal franchisee in the sports and fitness section will possess:
- Great organisational skills
- Motivation and enthusiasm
- Flexibility
- Determination
You'll also need to be a 'people person' with a passion for helping others thrive and improve their skills.
When it comes to income, you can expect a healthy wage for your hard work. The average sports club currently brings in an income of more than £40,000 per annum (Sports and Recreation Alliance), showing that the industry is ever growing.

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Wednesday demanded the State Government to declare all the 443 rural mandals of Telangana as drought-hit. He also demanded that agricultural workers be provided works under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) throughout the drought period by relaxing the cap of 100 mandays.
The TPCC President said nearly 73 lakh agricultural workers across Telangana State need works under NREGA due to severe drought conditions. He said thousands of farmers and agriculture workers have been migrating to other cities in search of livelihood. "Failure of four successive crops, extreme drought conditions for two consecutive years, mounting debts and chronic unemployment is leading to mass exodus of farmers and agricultural workers. Therefore, State Government should provide works under NREGA without having a ceiling on mandays. Further, the daily wages should be increased from Rs. 124 to Rs. 200 to help the drought affected farmers and workers," he demanded.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the TRS Government was not implementing the NREGA seriously. He said last year only 38 lakh wage seekers belonging to 22 lakh households in Telangana were provided works. He said although people in drought-hit areas were entitled to get additional 50 days of works, only 1.1 lakh (or just 5%) of employed households touched the 100-day mark last year.
The TPCC chief also slammed the TRS Government for not clearing the wages within the stipulated time of 15 days.
He said besides declaration of drought in all 443 rural mandals, the State Government should take measures on war-footing basis to provide drinking water in all 8517 Gram Panchayats. He said cattle deaths are being reported from across the State due to lack of fodder and water. He said that the State Government should increase the input subsidy for drought-hit farmers. He said both the State and Central Governments should intervene on immediate basis to prevent further deterioration in the situation. (NSS)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/8/2010 (2569 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's game over for North America's first video-gaming-industry incubator.
Fortune Cat Games Studio (FCGS), a not-for-profit Winnipeg centre that broke new ground when it was launched four years ago, is closing its doors within the next two months after failing to secure any private- or public-sector funding for 2011.
And it doesn't look like it will be replaced any time soon, even though spokesmen for two of the firms that graduated from the centre said there's still a need for that kind of service.
"I think Winnipeg and Manitoba need some sort of program," said Tom Kaminski, president of Tomkorp Computer Solutions, which spent nearly two years in the incubator and is on the verge of launching its first game.
"I think there's a lot of value in it," said Khal Shariff, CEO of Project Whitecard Inc., another successful graduate of the studio. "There are all sorts of ways for that program to continue without closing it down. They should hand the reins over to someone else."
But the FCGS's executive director said he can't see the incubator being revived any time soon.
"If it starts up again, it will probably be in 10 years' time," Ryan FitzGerald said in an interview.
The studio relied on federal and provincial monies. The federal funding dried up about a year and a half ago and FitzGerald said the provincial funding was ending this year.
He said both levels of government are cutting back on their spending in an effort to reduce their recession-induced deficits. And provincial officials also felt the studio wasn't living up to expectations.
"I cannot blame anybody (for the studio's pending closure). The worst thing I can say is that we had the right idea, but bad timing for federal reasons and provincial reasons and for industry reasons."
He said North American video-games-industry players he approached for funding said they're also still hurting from the global economic downtown.
"They said come back in a year... but that would be too late," FitzGerald added.
The provincial government said in a statement Monday it provided a total of $662,954 in funding to the Fortune Cat Games Studio between 2005 and 2010.
"A number of companies were incubated through the Fortune Cat Games Studio and have gone on to success in developing commercially viable products, including Complex Games, Myzan Research, Nightshift Interactive, Perentie Games, Project Whitecard, Red Reptile Studios, Tomkorp & We Heart Games," it said.
The province said it continues to provide support for the digital-media industry through the Manitoba Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit (MIDMTC), a refundable Manitoba corporate income tax credit of up to $500,000, or the equivalent of 40 per cent of eligible labour costs, for an eligible interactive digital new-media project.
FitzGerald said he was hired last September to develop a new business strategy for the studio. Instead of focusing on helping start-up video-game developers develop a product, he thought the FCGS should be helping firms who already have products get them to market and to grow their businesses.
But that was going to take time and money -- two things the FCGS didn't have, he added.
Kaminski said his company wouldn't have developed its Clones video game without the help of the FCGS. He said he'd like other start-up game developers to have that same opportunity.
Michael Legary, founder and chief innovation officer for Seccuris, a local firm that provides security and other support services to gaming companies, is a former FCGS board member. He agreed a lack of money was the studio's biggest problem.
Another was the small size of the industry. He estimated there are fewer than 20 video-game developers with three or more employees operating in the province at the moment.

In case anybody was curious about it, the ME fan film Red Sand will be premiering on YouTube today at 4:30 PM Mountain Time. There will also be an online Q&A with the cast and crew of the film before and after the premiere. Details are on their Facebook and Twitter.
Red Sand is set 35 years before the games. It follows Jon Grissom (played by none other than Mark Meer) as he and his team work to protect a group of Alliance scientists researching the recently discovered Prothean archives from a group of raiders addicted to Element Zero.
Check out the trailer here.
I always like seeing when fans put serious effort into making these kind of things. I'll be tuning in.
It's out! Watch it here.
I thought that for a short student film, it was pretty good. I felt they did a good job of capturing the concept of what a proto-Mass Effect human technology might look like, as well as the Biotic effects. I think the only thing that bothered me was that it was a bit rushed. Some areas could've been more developed if they took a few more minutes to flesh things out. That said, making a film like this is easier said then done.

Split Gardening Personality
I bought twin boxwoods with red bows for Christmas to stand guard at my front door. They add to the formality of the entrance to our colonial style home. This Spring I'm in the process of removing old shrubs, slowly replacing them with younger, healthier stock. I thought the whole perennial border had been destroyed when the border was torn out and the front of the house looked like a tornado had blown through. Formality went out the window as the passion of Springtime will not be denied. Nor will the honey bees as I try to push them aside to give the border a June haircut.

Networking is essential throughout your entire career, and luckily it is easier to do than you think. It's not about meeting someone and just asking them for a job—it's about making personal connections, and maintaining them by genuinely keeping in touch and offering to help them even when you think you have nothing to offer.
A great way to approach alumni is to ask for an informational interview. Dr. Dayle A. Savage, Ed.D., Director of Peabody Career Development at Vanderbilt University
