TV's 10 highest paid actors in 2016, Kapil sharma, Hina khan and others on the list

India’s film industry might be the largest in the world. But who says the country’s television is lagging behind? It is fast growing and might just surpass Bollywood in no time. No wonder all our film celebs do not mind making their television debuts. Sometimes it is due to the content that clicks better with the audience than films, at others it is due to the remuneration. With the biggest Bollywood banners like Balaji, Rajshri and Vishesh Films not minding investing in television, the entire budget and production cost is growing with each new television show. So much so, that the makers are ready to sign TV actors for an enormous amount of money too.

Here is a list of the highest paid television actors, who walked home with the most moolah in 2016.

Kapil Sharma has been on top of this list for a while now. But what we saw this year can give anyone a run for their money, quite literally. According to reports, Kapil is getting a whopping Rs. 110 crore for his renewed year-long stint with Sony. Considering his show The Kapil Sharma Show is the top TRP generator not just on the channel, but on the Indian television currently, the comedian easily pockets Rs 60-80 lakh per episode.

Demonetisation: Was RBI given enough time to discuss note ban, Manmohan Singh asks House panel

During a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance on Thursday, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sought to know whether the RBI was given sufficient time to hold deliberations on the government’s demonetisation move. He also suggested that the panel — which is looking into the demonetisation decision — call government officials to depose before it hears RBI Governor Urjit Patel.

The issue was being discussed in presence of independent experts, including economists Rajiv Kumar and Mahesh Vyas, former chief statistician Pronab Sen and Kavita Rao of National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, who had been called to offer their views to the panel. Three of the experts were critical of the demonetisation decision, sources said.

Najeeb Jung VS Kejriwal Govt: 5 Issues Over Which They Fought Over

Delhi lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung’s shock resignation on Thursday came after months of acrimony with the Aam Aadmi Party government – a feud that saw governance in the Capital suffer.
Since chief minister Arvind Kejriwal stormed to power in 2014, his administration has been locked in a bitter power tussle with Jung that has ranged from control of police to bureaucratic appointments and clearance of files.
Here’s a look at the top five contentious issues:
1. The Anti-Corruption Bureau
The Delhi government appointed SS Yadav as ACB chief but the L-G rejected that appointment and replaced him with MS Meena. The ACB is a pet project of Kejriwal, who had promised during his election campaign that he would use the bureau to cleanse the Capital of corruption.
2. Appointment of senior bureaucrats

AAP government opposed the appointment of Shakuntala Gamlin as acting chief secretary and Dharam Pal as home secretary. Delhi government gave additional charge of home to principal secretary to CM, Rajendra Kumar. L-G refused to back down, creating a peculiar situation where the city had two home secretaries.

Dangal Movie review: Aamir khan's future performances will be measured against this one,

 Dangal has real meaning but its message doesn't overwhelm. Aamir Khan knows exactly when to ratchet it up and when to let go. The first-timers shine and fight for real. Sakshi Tanwar is familiar enough and yet new enough.

There comes a time when a star gives in to the demands of a role which he knows will make him not-pretty: as a wanna be wrestler past his prime, Aamir Khan is squat, with a heavy belly, a deliberate gait, and a grizzled beard. Only his jutting ears are familiar: the rest of him is pure character.

We are going to have to measure Aamir Khan’s future performances with this one: as Mahavir Singh Phogat, failed wrestler, rough-hewn but caring husband and father of four girls, he scales it up to a point where you can see the star take on a character, try it for size, and make it his own.

My Notes Ban Speech Will Cause Earthquake, Claims Rahul Gandhi: 10 Facts

Tens of thousands of villages will soon be equipped with card-swiping machines to boost cashless payments, the finance minister said on Thursday, a month after the government banned high-value banknotes.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unleashed chaos with his shock announcement last month that all Rs500 and Rs1,000 ($7.30, $14.60) notes—some 85% of all bills in circulation—would cease to be legal tender.

The move triggered a chronic shortage of cash with people forming long queues outside banks across the country for hours to get rid of their old notes. Cash accounts for 90% of transactions in India where millions rely heavily on notes for their daily transactions.

In the first real evidence of the impact of demonetisation on economy, data coming in on Thursday showed a sharp drop in consumer purchases in November, with mobile phones, FMCG, home appliances, real estate, and cars bearing the brunt.

A drop in car sales varying from 15% to 40% has been reported by dealers. Small towns, where mobile phone business was booming just a few weeks ago, have seen a 70% drop while 35% fewer phones were sold in cities.

Real estate  reported a 50% fall in inquiries, 30% in resale prices, and 20% in searches online and air tickets sold 15% less in November, forcing carriers to cut average fares on the 11 busiest routes by 20% to 30%..

Auto majors sail through Nov, brace for note ban impact in Dec

While retail sales at dealerships have suffered the full impact of demonetisation, the growth in wholesale volumes comes as dealers had relatively lower inventory after Diwali in October.

The passenger vehicle market felt the jitters of the government’s move to demonetise high-value currency of notes Rs 500 and Rs 1,000, with wholesale volumes rising by just four per cent last month. 

However, some companies, including market leader Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Toyota Kirloskar, managed to post double-digit increase in November, as dealers indulged in building the inventory after Diwali and also brace for the ongoing marriage season.

The Goods and Services Tax has become a reality as the Rajya Sabha passed the GST Constitution Amendment Bill with unanimous votes on Wednesday.

Here's how Dalal Street reacted to the passage of the Bill: 

Mihir Vora- Director and Chief Investment Officer, Max Life Insurance 
The passage of the Bill further enhances confidence in India's commitment to economic reforms. 

While implementation will take a few quarters, the writing is now on the wall - the organized sector will gain at the cost of the informal sector. 
In the short-term there may be some fiscal strain (depending on the rate finally implemented) but in the long-term, tax buoyancy will help in narrowing down the deficit.
