On Wednesday morning, the sound of devotional chants once again echoed in the hills of Katra as hundreds of pilgrims gathered at the Banganga Darshani Gate — the traditional starting point of the…

After weeks of tension, the India-US trade negotiations have resumed in New Delhi, signaling a shift in Washington’s tone. The talks come after the US imposed steep 50% tariffs on Indian goods last month, putting bilateral trade ties under pressure. In a surprising turn, the US is now stepping back from its earlier sweeping demands for access to India’s agricultural and dairy markets. Instead, Washington is focusing on niche exports such as premium cheese and US-grown corn — a move seen by experts as a significant de-escalation in the ongoing trade dispute.

As the last date for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) looms, widespread rumours have surfaced about yet another extension. The Income Tax Department has firmly dismissed these as fake and urged taxpayers to stick to the official deadline—September 15, 2025. What’s the real deadline?
