Income Tax launches Operation Clean Money

Income Tax Department (ITD) has initiated Operation Clean Money on 31st January 2016. Initial phase of the operation involves e-verification of large cash deposits made during 9th November to 30th December 2016. Data analytics has been used for comparing the demonetisation data with information in ITD databases. In the first batch, around 18 lakh persons have been identified in whose case, cash transactions do not appear to be in line with the tax payer’s profile. 
ITD has enabled online verification of these transactions to reduce compliance cost for the taxpayers while optimising its resources. The information in respect of these cases is being made available in the e-filing window of the PAN holder (after log in) at the portal https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in. The PAN holder can view the information using the link “Cash Transactions 2016” under “Compliance” section of the portal. The taxpayer will be able to submit online explanation without any need to visit Income Tax office.  
Email and SMS will also be sent to the taxpayers for submitting online response on the e-filing portal. Taxpayers who are not yet registered on the e-filing portal (at https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) should register by clicking on the ‘Register Yourself’ link. Registered taxpayers should verify and update their email address and mobile number on the e-filing portal to receive electronic communication.

Miss France Iris Mittenaere wins Miss Universe 2017 Crown

Miss France Iris Mittenaere wins Miss Universe 2017 Crown. Iris Mittenaere from France has been crowned the new Miss Universe during the 65th edition of the pageant, while Miss Haiti Raquel Pelissier was named first runner-up. Iris, 24, is a Parisian native, currently pursuing a degree in dental surgery. She plans to use her Miss Universe platform to advocate for dental and oral hygiene.  Out of the 86 contestants in the finals, Iris survived the evening gown, swimsuit and numerous Q&A rounds. 
She takes over from the until-now reigning Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach from Philippines. India's Roshmitha Harimurthy failed to advance to the top 13 of the contest, which saw Andrea Tovar from Colombia emerge as second runner-up.  Roshmitha wasn't the only India connect at this year's pageant. Sushmita Sen, who won the pageant in 1994, was one of the judges of the contest and was introduced at the event as "Bollywood superstar, former Miss Universe and champion of women's rights."  The panel of judges also included "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey, Paper magazine's Mickey Boardman and producer Francine LeFrak, as well as Miss Universes 2011 and 1993. 

Roger Federer wins Australian Open 2017

Roger Federer wins Australian Open 2017 Men's title on 29th January. He defeated Rafael Nadal with a gripping 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in just over 3 1/2 hours. The clash marked an extraordinary comeback for the players, both of whom have battled recent injuries and are older than most of their fellow tournament opponents.
"I don't think either one of us believed we were going to be in the finals at the Australian Open... four, five months ago, and here we stand in the finals," Federer said. But Federer was obviously much the happier. "This is beautiful, but it's still much better, the (other) trophy," Nadal said as he looked at the runner-up trophy.

Serena Williams wins Australian Open 2017

Serena Williams beats sister Venus 6-4, 6-4 to win Australian Open 2017 and record 23rd Grand Slam title on 28th January 2017. Thirteenth seed Venus, 36, beat fellow American Coco Vandeweghe 6-7 (3-7) 6-2 6-3 to reach her first major final since 2009.  World number two Serena, 35, saw off unseeded Croat Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 6-2 6-1 in the second semi-final. 
This was the ninth time the sisters had met in a grand slam final. Eight years on from their last together, it was also surely the least likely of all. The early stages showed inside knowledge counts for plenty. Serena broke in the first game of the match by guessing correctly, or perhaps just outright intuiting, that her sister would go wide to her forehand with a smash at the net. Not only did Serena retrieve it, she sent a quite sensational winner fizzing past Venus.
