Looking for the best camera Smartphone under ₹15000? 



All the apps offer a lot of content to the users but Netflix and Amazon Prime Video offer the most wholesome and complete package with a large movie collection as well as tv shows including originals.

So whose winning between the two?

Despite having launched its services a full one year later than Netflix, Amazon Prime Video has gained a decent lead over the former.

According to the data shared by a London based agency, Amazon Prime Video had 0.61 million subscribers at the end of 2017. Netflix, in comparison had 0.52.

That's not all!

The Amazon Subscribers are growing at a faster rate than that of Netflix.

Why is Amazon winning?

There are a few reasons why Amazon is winning this battle currently.

  • The first reason is the price. Amazon Prime Video initially offered its subscription for just ₹499 per year. Though now it has been increased to ₹999/year, its still very low compared to the base plan of ₹500/month of Netflix.

  • Also the fact that with Amazon subscription, you can use it on multiple devices. Whereas the base Netflix package offers access on just one device at a time.

  • The Amazon subscription also offers prime access on Amazon.com . Users will also get access to its upcoming music streaming service. Netflix has no such extra services.

  • And finally there is content. Amazon has tied up with big bollywood production houses to stream their movies. It also gets exclusive access to many low Budget latest movies. Netflix only has the strength of its original shows. Amazon has more regional content for Indian audience.

Though its growing slowly as compared to Amazon Prime Video, Netflix is content with the user base it is gaining.

But, whoever wins this battle, the main winner is the end consumer, that is US!

As long as we have options, the better for us.

INPUT TAX CREDIT | GST INDIA
Before GST was rolled out, the indirect taxation in India was very outdated. It had a cascading nature which used to increase the cost of the final product to more than desirable levels. However, in July 2017, GST brought with it Input Tax Credit or ITC. This helped replace the existing redundant taxation system with a better one.

Input tax credit mainly means that when a manufacturer pays the tax on his output, he can deduct the tax he previously paid on the input he purchased. Let's understand it more.





WAIT...WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CASCADING OF TAXES IN THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM?Good question!

By cascading, what I mean is that as and when taxes were applied to a product, they used to keep adding up. This resulted in the final product becoming more expensive than it should have been.

Let's try and understand it by a very basic example.

Suppose I am a businessman and I make special types of erasers and sell them to customers. Now to make the erasersI require a ty…

NEW GST RATES FOR RESTAURANTS
If you love eating out, then GST hasn't really been very favorable for you.

As it is, its rollout in India has been marred by controversies, glitches & technical issues.

On top of that, higher tax rates have led to a decent increase in the final bill that has forced many food lovers to control their love of eating at the restaurants.

However, with the recent decision to lower the GST rates to 5%, applicable to both AC & non AC restaurants starting from November 15th, 2017, many people heaved a sigh of relief.

They believed that their restaurant bills would definitely decrease considerably.

BUT THAT MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE THE CASE!
