VOICES UNHEARD: THE REALITY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG DALIT WOMEN Debopriyo Shome, Student, Sister Nivedita University Subhagata Chowdhury, Student, Sister Nivedita University Download Manuscript For centuries, Dalit women in India have endured a culture of silence. They have silently witnessed their own exploitation, oppression, and brutality. Their bodies, earnings, and lives are not under their control. The manifestations of violence, exploitation, and oppression against them are evident in various forms such as hunger, malnutrition, disease, physical and mental torture, rape, illiteracy, poor health, unemployment, insecurity, and inhumane treatment. The combined forces of Feudalism, Casteism, and patriarchy have turned their lives into a living hell. Most of them live in extremely precarious conditions. Despite the advancements of modernism and post-modernism, they continue to exist in a dark age of savagery. This paper focuses on the crucial issue of safeguarding Dalit women from domestic violence in India. It delves into the complex challenges they face, including deeply rooted caste and gender discrimination, which make them more vulnerable to domestic abuse.

CORPORATE FRAUD IN RELATION TO WHITE COLLAR CRIME IN INDIA

CORPORATE FRAUD IN RELATION TO WHITE COLLAR CRIME IN INDIA Shivangi, 5th Year Student. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT White-collar crime was a term first used by Edwin Sutherland in 1939 to denote crimes other than those that did not involve violence, but which engaged businesses, professionals or government officials in them with the sole purpose of taking the money outside of their income. In FY 2023 there were about 13000 bank frauds reported in India by the RBI. It was recognized that the regulatory system is unsatisfactory and requires the evaluation of the role of auditors on an urgent basis. Banks and loaning agencies have not been doing their best in these circumstances, which is affected by the greasing of professional management. The abstract stresses that in India a comprehensive approach, including the introduction of new statutes, and increasing corporate governance across the board must be put in place in order to effectively and with integrity, sort out the corporate frauds issue. India can establish itself as a more trustworthy and responsible business environment by becoming aware of and thus, working towards resolving business crimes like the theories of white- collar thievery and derailment. This will be achieved by safeguarding the investors and promoting the economic growth. Developing a culture of ethics and transparency within an organization and promoting it in the long run could be the most effective strategy for stopping corporate fraud.

NAVIGATING THE GST TERRAIN: IMPACT ON MSMES AND PATHWAYS TO MITIGATION

NAVIGATING THE GST TERRAIN: IMPACT ON MSMES AND PATHWAYS TO MITIGATION Rakshak Tyagi, 3rd year BA LLB student at Army, Institute of Law, Mohali Alok Kumar, 3rd year BA LLB student at Army, Institute of Law, Mohali Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act of 2017 aimed to revolutionize trade by consolidating 17 diverse taxes into a cohesive system with four tax slabs, marking a significant shift in India’s indirect tax regime. However, its journey witnessed nearly 2000 amendments in seven years, prompting concerns about stability and effectiveness. Challenges persist for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), notably in GST registration, compliance burdens, and selection dilemmas between composition and regular tax regimes. These challenges exacerbate operational inefficiencies, particularly affecting small-scale businesses. Additionally, the lack of clarity in tax regulations and the reverse charge mechanism add to the burden, hindering business operations. Addressing these challenges requires simplifying the composition scheme, extending Input Tax Credit (ITC) benefits, and streamlining processes to foster smoother business operations under the GST regime. Efforts to enhance government systems can prevent minor mistakes from disrupting entities’ core operations. This paper provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by MSMEs under the GST regime and proposes solutions to alleviate their impact, making it essential reading for policymakers, business owners, and researchers seeking to understand and address the implications of GST implementation in India. The comprehensive analysis offered in this study serves as a roadmap for navigating the complexities of GST for MSMEs and underscores the importance of policy interventions urging policymakers to simplify GST compliance for MSMEs and offers researchers a framework to assess policy effectiveness, fostering informed decisions and further study.
