Interim Rail budget: Belgaum gets nothing again
1:23 PM Posted by ukmad
And Belgaum got nothing specific this time. Not even a penny. No new trains nor some extensions nor increase in frequency.
The overall decrease in fare of 2% is the only positive.

Knowledge series Myth busting CA profession: Nikhil M. Shevade
11:23 AM Posted by ukmad
I am starting a new Knowledge series from today, where in you will get to read expert views from professionals from various fields. Here is the first one! By Nikhil M. Shevade a Chartered Accountant.
Myth busting CA profession
The profession of a practicing Chartered Accountant is having a romance with Taxation (pun unintended), since its inception. In early days of our Independence, tax rates were very high and there was a dire need for professionals like CA for tax planning. But, 60 years hence, the CA is still viewed as a Tax consultant and expert. Taxation though influences Management decision making even today, is not the sole criteria to start, shut or run a business. There are other areas where a CA proves to be of vital importance. There is a galore of untapped areas waiting there in the wild to be harnessed, especially in a city like Belgaum.
The object of this write up is to break a myth or two about a CA and make the public aware of the type of services a CA is equipped to provide. The various areas, which are illustrative only, where a CA can be helpful, are:
Information System Audit: In this era of technology, a CA well equipped with IT skills (and it is part of the CA curriculum!), combined with his in-depth knowledge of internal controls, can help Management to strengthen their IT structure to protect their organisation’s assets.
Internal Audit: Adds value and improve an organisation’s operations. It is a valuable addition to an Enterprise’s internal control. Includes Management audit, Operational audit, Compliance audit etc.
3. Consultancy and Advisory services: In the areas of Foreign Trade Policy and procedures; setting up or developing 100 % EOU, SEZ, etc; compliance with various national rules and regulations including but not only restricted to Taxation like FEMA, labour laws etc; Finance Management and many other multifarious areas.
Corporate Governance: Design code for the same, design Risk Management framework, Internal control framework
Business valuations: like for Mergers and Acquisitions and takeover of another business.
Forensic accounting: Which deal with Financial Fraud detection and investigation, misappropriation of assets, conflict of interests where a CA acts as a financial detective.
ERP implementation and design: where a CA is an indispensable professional who can be relied right from the system design stage up to post-implementation.
Various Audits: Environment Audit, Health and Safety Audit, Business Process Modeling and many others.
Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO)
The above are a few areas which I can muster up at the time of this writing. The sheer scope of services provided is breathtaking.
Aspiring and existing CAs should aim at providing such services and not only restrict to Taxation and traditional audits.
The business community of Belgaum, irrespective of size or nature, who avail the services of a CA or not at present, should view the above services provided by a CA as a value addition and indispensable and benefit from the same.

The boy and girl would be handed over to the Police if the parents oppose the marriage. "Let the parents get their children released from the Police custody.

Own dream house in Belgaum: Wait & Watch
5:06 PM Posted by ukmad
The prices of flats have come down but that’s attributed to the reduction in cost of raw materials and nothing else and the decrease is also not commendable.
All are doing a wait and watch policy here. People interested in buying are not yet making a decision yet. The buyers expect the prices to go down but the builders don’t.
One more notable factor I realized is that as other companies are reducing their costs on advertising the Real estate companies are increasing the spend at least in Belgaum. Huge hoardings of Queens court, Heda Builders are up in many places in the city. There are another few also I have seen like Nasco developers.
Here are a few prices of land taken from the Tarun Bharat.
Rates:
Bogarves area: 30 to 40 lakhs per Guntha
Khanapur Road: 30 to 40 lakhs per Guntha
Club Road, Civil Hospital road: 25 to 30 lakhs per Guntha
Maruti Galli: 35 to 40 lakhs per Guntha
Khade Bazar (Sanykuta Mahtarstra Chowk): 35 to 45 lakhs per Guntha
Gandhi Nagar: 4 to 5 lakhs per Guntha
Shau nagar: 5 to 6 lakhs per Guntha
Kapileshwar Colony: 7 to 9 lakhs per Guntha
Somwar peth to Shukurwar Peth: 22 to 25 lakhs per Guntha
Maratha Colony 15 lakhs per Guntha
1st gate to Chougule wadi: 10 to 11 lakhs per Guntha
Hanuman Nagar: 1000 per Sq/Feet
Vijay Nagar: 550 to 750 per Sq/Feet

Belgaum Corporation council meeting adjourned sine die: all development sine die
12:47 PM Posted by ukmad
Nothing was discussed about Belgaum development, this is democracy. We elect the corporators and they never attend the meeting, they have their own reasons behind it.
But how suffers, common man. What happened in UP yesterday in the state legislature when some SP members threw papers at the Governor.
We as voters should think before we vote.

Any unmarried couple appears on the day should require to prove their relationship with each other, whether they wandering with or without consent of their parents. "If any couple will look in an uneasy attitude, we can bind them in wedding knout on the spot" Pawar added. Replying to the question, forcing couple for marriage is not an illegal? He said, "Whatever those couple can do that also be an illegal and against the Indian culture. We are trying to give massage to the society that V-Day culture is not ours, Celebrate love but not fix up particular day for that. We apposing only the V-Day but not love or lovers" he clarified.
