SRINAGAR, Feb 5: Legal action has been taken by the Cricket Bat Manufacturers Association of Kashmir (CBMAK) against Sony Pictures Networks, the company behind the hit reality series "Shark Tank India," and Tramboo Sports Pvt. Ltd. Claims made on the show during an episode that aired on January 30 of this year are the source of the controversy. The official handout from CBMAK, the acknowledged association representing all cricket bat producers in the Kashmir valley, strongly refuted the claim that Tramboo Sports is the only company producing cricket bats made of Kashmir willow.The Association said that Tramboo Sports' remarks on "Shark Tank India" had deceived the public and seriously harmed the businesses of its members. It voiced extreme concern about these remarks. The Association said that these falsehoods had caused a “severe blow” to the sales of the bats made by its members and had tarnished the standing of the whole locally produced bat industry in Kashmir. CBMAK established the foundation for its allegations against Tramboo Sports by highlighting the exceptional quality of bats made by its members, which are supported and used by a number of famous cricket players.CBMAK expressed shock at the statements made by Tramboo Sports on January 30, 2024, in the "Shark Tank India" Season 3 episode. They claimed that in order to hurt CBMAK members, Tramboo Sports misrepresented themselves as the only producers of Kashmir willow bats. The Association said that by misrepresenting the public and buyers, Tramboo Sports' false claims had negatively impacted the supply and sales of bats made by CBMAK members, damaging the reputation of the local industry.As the sole and authentic representative of Kashmir's cricket bat makers, CBMAK asserted the unwavering backing of its members and positioned itself as the defender of the well-being and success of the region's bat manufacturing sector. The Association has sent a thorough legal notice to Sony Pictures Networks and Tramboo Sports, requesting that they apologise on-air within 15 days, through its legal counsel. Furthermore, CBMAK is requesting a hundred crores in compensation through the legal notice for the losses, damages, and mental anguish they have experienced.Tramboo Sports Pvt. Ltd. has responded that there were misconceptions because the televised pitch on "Shark Tank India" was only a small portion of a presentation that lasted more than an hour. The corporation also underlined how everyone should prioritise business development and support the community's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

FM Presents J&K Interim Budget 2024-25 & Revised Estimates For Current Fiscal In Parl

editor February 5, 2024Leave a comment

NEW DELHI, Feb 5: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sithraman presented the Government of Jammu and Kashmir's Revised Estimates for 2023–24 and Interim Budget for 2024–25 to the Parliament today. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will discuss the two appropriation bills on the Supplementary Budget for 2023–24 and the Vote on Account for 2024–25 in this regard. The UT Finance Department had created the Interim Budget for the upcoming fiscal year as well as the Supplementary Budget for the present one. In order to do this, the Department evaluated the UT government's revenue receipts from stamp duty, motor spirit tax, excise, and GST. Additionally, non-tax income from the sale of timber, mining royalties, electricity and water supplies, annual rent from industrial areas, etc., was also looked at. The UT government's own revenue is projected to be Rs. 20,867 crore. The Government of UT also pursued the Government of India to obtain government funding. The UT's efforts in this regard were spearheaded by Chief Secretary Shri Atal Dulloo and Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha. To assess these demands of the UT Government, important meetings were held in the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Finance in August 2023, October 2023, and January 2024. In recent months, the Union Home Minister and Union Finance Minister personally examined the UT Government's financial management. Consequently, the Central Government has committed to giving the UT Government ₹41751.44 Cr during this fiscal year and ₹ 37277.74 Cr during the following fiscal year. The Union Government's Revised Estimates for 2023–2024 and Budget Estimates for 2024–2025 accurately reflect these aid levels. This support will be given in accordance with MHA Demand No. 58 for Support to the UT. This help covers the UT government's regular support (resource gap) as well as the equity contribution for hydropower projects at Kiru, Kwar, and Rattle, among other things. These aid amounts are included in the Union Budget, which is currently before Parliament and will be discussed prior to the UT's interim budget.Building on this, the Jammu and Kashmir government created its Vote on Account for 2024–25 and Supplementary Budget for 2023–24. The two appropriation bills—the vote on account and the supplementary demands—that were to be presented to parliament were also written by the finance department. Since the UT government was able to reduce its spending, the updated estimates for 2023–24 are generally less than the budgeted predictions for that year. ₹8,712.90 Cr in supplemental requests for 2023–24 are related to the four departments of cooperatives, power development, hospitality and protocol, and finance.The supplementary budget is required by Finance department in view of the repayment of…
