New Delhi: The weather in Delhi has experienced extremes this month, with the city recording its hottest May in two years while also enjoying its cleanest air in five years. This unusual weather includes heatwaves, unseasonably warm nights, and thunderstorms.Delhi's average maximum temperature for May reached 39.7 degrees Celsius, with the average minimum temperature at 25.8 degrees Celsius.The last hotter May occurred in 2024, when the average maximum and minimum temperatures were 41.7 degrees Celsius and 26.5 degrees Celsius, respectively.Read more: Delhi-NCR weather alert: 'Extremely Severe' warning issued; thunderstorms, lightning and 90 kmph winds likelyHeatwave conditions were noted from May 18 to 21, with maximum temperatures exceeding 46 degrees Celsius in some areas of the city. Overall, Delhi received 17.61 mm of rainfall during the month.The city also experienced unusually warm nights in May, with minimum temperatures hitting 32.8 degrees Celsius on May 26 and 31.9 degrees Celsius on May 21-among the highest nighttime temperatures recorded in the city in the last 14 years, according to data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).The IMD defines a heatwave as a situation where the maximum temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius and is 4.5 to 6.4 degrees Celsius above normal.A warm night is declared when the maximum temperature remains at 40 degrees Celsius or higher, and the minimum temperature is also 4.5 to 6.4 degrees Celsius above normal.Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather attributed the month's fluctuating weather to a combination of western disturbances and induced cyclonic circulations over Rajasthan and adjoining areas, and moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal.Experts said frequent western disturbances and associated weather systems led to early pre-monsoon activity, leading to low temperatures during the first half of May.As these systems weakened, temperatures rose sharply and heatwave conditions developed across parts of Delhi before another spell of strong pre-monsoon activity returned towards the end of the month, they said.Palawat mentioned that thunderstorms, rain and gusty winds intensified during the latter part of May, bringing widespread weather activity across the capital and providing relief from the intense heat over the past few days.Despite the hotter conditions, Delhi recorded its cleanest AQI in May in about five years.An analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) showed that the capital's average AQI was 161 until May 29, the lowest for the month since 2021, when it was 144.On Saturday, May 30, Delhi recorded a satisfactory AQI of 85, following widespread rainfall and strong winds. This represented the cleanest air quality day in May since 2023 and the fourth satisfactory air quality day this month.Experts noted that rainfall and intermittent strong winds played crucial roles in dispersing pollutants.While dust transported from Rajasthan caused several dust storm events and deteriorated air quality, localised intense rainfall helped wash out particulate matter and improve the overall air quality in the city.Data showed that from May 1 to May 29, Delhi experienced three satisfactory days, 20 moderate days, and six poor days, with no very poor or severe air quality days.In comparison, May 2021 recorded six satisfactory days, 22 moderate days and three poor days, while the monthly average AQI stood at 144. May 2025 recorded an average AQI of 170 and May 2024 recorded 223.Read more: Delhi Weather Update: Clouds, rain bring sharp cooldown across national capital after weeks of scorching heatLooking ahead, Palawat stated that no heatwave conditions are expected in the first week of June.However, temperatures are forecasted to gradually rise from June 1 as the current spell of rain activity weakens and shifts away from the region.

Mumbai: After a crushing court defeat, India's money gaming fraternity is now dreading whether the taxman would come after the companies' directors.The law allows the goods and service tax (GST) authorities to recover dues from board members of private limited companies if unpaid tax, interest, or penalty cannot be salvaged from the entities.Most real money gaming platforms were run by closely-held companies. While a director can escape personal liability if he demonstrates that the unpaid tax was not caused by gross neglect and wilful misstatement, many show cause notices, which triggered the legal feud, allege fraud and suppression of facts.Also read | Billionaire's FOMO: Ultra-rich pouring money into AI stackIn cases of frauds, the tax office can levy penalty of 100% of the tax demand. Platform managements are hoping for some relief from the fine print in Wednesday's Supreme Court (SC) judgement which upheld GST authorities stand to impose 28% tax on full value of bets. The ruling is yet to be released.By validating the SCNs, the SC effectively overturned earlier lower court rulings favouring gaming companies and dismissed the argument that 'games of skill' require different tax treatment under the GST framework for actionable claims.The GST Act provides for extended limitation period, enabling the department to issue SCNs up to five years from the due date of filing the relevant annual return in cases of fraud.131377275According to Ritesh Kanodia, partner, Aurtus Consulting, "There is strong legal support, including Supreme Court rulings, that when a matter involves a complex interpretation of the law, it cannot be treated as fraud or suppression. In this case, there was genuine ambiguity on whether GST applies at all and, if it does, on what value. Even the Karnataka High Court had earlier ruled in favour of taxpayers, which shows that the issue was debatable. Because of this, there is a strong argument that the 100% penalty may not be justified, thoughthe normal penalty (around 10%) may still apply."Ashish Karundia, founder of the eponymous CA firm, agreed that notices invoking the extended limitation period can certainly be challenged. "To sustain demands under Section 74, the department must establish fraud, wilful misstatement, or suppression with intent to evade tax. Gaming companies are likely to argue that their operations, filings, and transaction trails were fully disclosed, and that the dispute pertains purely to legal interpretation rather than any concealment of facts," said Karundia.If the department eventually chases the directors, it has to send separate notices and examine their roles individually.Also read | A blueprint for West Bengalโs evolution from an entrepot to a production hubHowever, for earlier periods (July 2017 to March 2020), companies may be eligible for the Government's amnesty scheme, which provides a full waiver of interest and penalties, provided fraud is not established (i.e., a Section 74 notice [100% penalty] gets converted into a Section 73 Notice [10% penalty]). So, in many cases, companies may ultimately end up paying only the tax amount, said Kanodia.The companies have sought 12 weeks to reply to the adjudication panel in the GST department which would be followed by final tax demands and appeals before higher courts.The GST law was amended in 2023 to make online gaming, casinos, and horse racing taxable at 28% on the full face value of bets, regardless of whether it's game of skill or chance. These changes, applied retrospectively, imposed liabilities for past periods when the law was not explicit. Before 2023 companies were paying 18% tax on the fees platforms collected.Last year, the government hurriedly enacted the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming (PROG) Act, 2025 that completely prohibits online money games. The SC order on Wednesday not only puts a large financial burden on gaming companies but may also weaken their argument that since gaming is a state subject, the activity cannot be banned by a central law.

Lenders to Anil Ambani-promoted Reliance Capital are likely to recover just about โน10,000 crore after the winning bidder, Hinduja Group, declined to significantly improve its offer in the last round of bilateral negotiations that ended on Monday evening, people aware of the development told ET. The recovery, totalling about โน10,090 crore on factoring in the target company's cash balances and the Hinduja offer, falls short of the โน12,500-13,000 crore estimated liquidation value. A Hinduja Group entity, IndusInd International Holdings, offered โน9,650 crore in the extended auction held on April 26. Hinduja improved the offer by only โน10 crore during the bilateral negotiations, the people cited above said. In addition, the distressed financial services company has around Rs 430 crore as cash balances, which would be distributed among the lenders. This would add up to Rs 10,090 crore, equating to a 43% recovery for verified lenders.Administrator Nageswara Rao Y has admitted Rs 23,666 crore in claims from verified creditors."Hinduja Group will submit a detailed resolution plan by next week while lenders are in the process of finalising distribution of the proceeds," one of the persons cited above said. After this, the administrator will invite lenders to vote on the eligible plans.However, resolution of Reliance Capital will be subject to approval from the Supreme Court, which is scheduled to hear in August the auction-related dispute between Torrent Investments, a bidder also in the fray in the earlier rounds. 100459497Crucial LIC, EPFO RolesThe stand by LIC, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and JC Flowers Asset Reconstruction Co on approving the plan will be critical since they are majority debtholders. Yes Bank, an original Reliance Capital lender, sold its debt to JC Flowers ARC. A resolution plan can be approved only if 66% of creditors vote in its favour.Separately, Credit Suisse-led bondholders have decided not to contest a decision by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which directed them to return the custody of Reliance General Insurance shares to the administrator, said the people cited above.This has come as a major relief to the lenders that were worried the resolution might be delayed if Credit Suisse-led bondholders appealed against the tribunal's order.In 2018, Credit Suisse-led investors invested in bonds issued by Reliance Home Finance, a Reliance Capital unit. The home finance company failed to honour the payment on the due date.
