Kharcha Pani | Episode 1225 | 1st December, 2025
This episode dives into the tobacco tax reforms tabled on December 1, 2025, during Parliament’s winter session. Two key bills- the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and Health Security se National Security Cess Bill, 2025, aim to replace the expiring GST compensation cess with permanent levies, including higher excise duties on cigarettes, gutkha, and pan masala. Plus a new cess on production capacity like machines. Expect stable or rising prices to boost government revenue, deter consumption for health and security reasons, though experts warn of shifts to illegal or cheaper alternatives.
This also covers tenant protections under New Rent Rules 2025, capping residential deposits at two months, mandating 90-day rent hike notices, digital agreements within 60 days, no forced evictions without tribunal orders, and 24-hour inspection notices. The episode wraps with the rupee hitting a record low of 89.78 against the dollar due to delayed US-India trade deals, FII outflows over $16 billion, and widening trade deficits.
