SSC to conduct Re-Exam for CGL Tier 2 on January 12, 13, 2016
In a notification published by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) on December 21, 2016, the commission has released tentative dates for the Combined Graduate level Tier 2 2016 exam. The Commission has decided to conduct re-examination for SSC CGL Tier 2 2016, tentatively on January 12, 13, 2017.
There was widespread mismanagement reported at exam centers across the country, after which the commission received representations from candidates alleging that they faced technical and other related problems during the examination at some of the venues. The Commission objectively scrutinised the representations received till December 9, 2016.
The Commission, after due examination of video footages, has taken a serious view of certain candidates found to have been actively involved in disturbing and instigating other candidates to disrupt the process of the examination. The Commission proposes to take appropriate action against such candidates, which may include disqualification and debarment for a period of three years, in consonance with the extant guidelines.
The SSC CGL Tier 2 2016 Exam was conducted by the SSC for 1,49,330 candidates in the online Mode on November 30 and December 2, 2016.
SSC conducts various exams throughout the year and recruits eligible candidates to various posts in government offices and departments as Assistant Audit Officer, Inspector (Examiner) (CBEC), Income Tax Inspector (CBDT), Assistant (MEA), Compiler (Registrar General of India), Senior Secretariat Assistant, Accountant (Offices under C&AG, CGA & others), Tax Assistant (CBEC & CBDT), Statistical Investigator and Sub-Inspector (Central Bureau of Narcotics) among others.
From 2016, there will be no personal interviews in tier 3 of the exam. Tier 3 now consists of computer proficiency test/data entry skill test (wherever applicable) and document verification only. Marks secured by candidates in tier 1 will be considered while selecting them for computer test and also for final selection (See page 17). As per reports, the tier-3 exam would tentatively be conducted in January 2017, while the final result will be announced in April 2017.

IT Exemption should be increased to 5 Lakh – Deloitte Pre-Budget Expectations Survey
A recently released Deloitte Pre-Budget Expectations Survey Report reflects what has been widely expected as an easing of income tax limits in Budget 2017. According to the survey, basic income tax exemption should be increased to Rs 5 lakh per year and the ceiling for claiming deduction under Section 80C should be increased to Rs. 2.50 lakh.
While almost all respondents in the survey want the I-T exemption limit increased substantially, 58 percent of them wanted the ceiling to be increased to Rs 5 lakh. As many as 71 percent respondents want the limit of the Section 80C to be increased to Rs. 2.50 lakh from Rs. 1.50 lakh currently.
Many reports in December said that the income tax slabs will be increased to at least Rs 4 lakh. However, a government spokesperson had denied that the income tax would be eased and called the reports baseless. After demonetisation, which has hit many industries and slowed economic growth to 7.1 percent in the most recent quarter, people are hoping to get some respite from the coming Budget.
Increasing the income tax ceiling would give consumers more money to spend, thereby increasing demand.
“The increase in the slab limit will kick-start savings, which will ultimately lead to increase in investment in the system,” stated the Pre-Budget Expectations Survey Report by Deloitte.
The existing deduction limit is low as compared to increase in income levels and inflation. “Increase in limit will help channelise household savings into productive avenues such as insurance, provident fund, equity and the like which will in turn help boost infrastructure spending and job creation,” the survey said.
It also added that the National Pension Scheme (NPS) should receive tax treatment parity with the Provident Fund (PF). As many as 88 percent of the respondents wanted full tax exemption for withdrawal of NPS. Withdrawals from the NPS are taxed up to 60 percent.
The PF, which is under Exempt – Exempt – Exempt (EEE) regime, is not taxed on withdrawal.
“The government has positioned NPS as an alternative to PF. Therefore, to bring parity and incentivise employees to be part of NPS, it must be brought under the EEE regime,” the report added.
In the survey, Deloitte said that the government is targeting boost in infrastructure spending and requires long-term funds for that. “Hence, it is an apt time to reintroduce deduction for investment in long-term infrastructure bonds as it will provide an additional avenue for individuals to make an an investment and save taxes,” the survey suggested.
