| 2 | Answer : Only Two
Statement :- 1 is correct
âŞď¸The Finance Act 2023 proposed to extend angel tax even to non-resident investors from April 1 .
Statement :-2 is Incorrect it cannot be listed in Share market
âŞď¸The Income Tax Act of 1961's Section 56 (2) (viib) discusses the concept of angel tax. According to the Finance Act, 2012, in the IT Act, every startup (i.e., unlisted companies whose shares are not available for buying on the stock market) that receives funding from an angel investor must contribute a certain amount to the government.
âŞď¸However, this tax comes into play if the total investment value exceeds the company's FMV or Fair Market Value. Investment greater than FMV is categorised as "income from other sources", and the tax imposed on it is called angel tax.
âŞď¸For a comprehensive understanding of the concept of angel tax, let us consider an example. Suppose your firm receives investment from an angel investor of Rs 15 crore, and the investor gets shares in exchange. But the total fair market valuation (FMV) of the shares issued is Rs 10 crore. The remaining Rs 5 crore is considered excess money and, therefore, taxable at a rate of 30.9%.
Statement:-3 is Correct This rule decribed in Section 56(2)(viib) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
âŞď¸This clause was inserted into the act in 2012 to prevent laundering of black money, round-tripping via investments with a large premium into unlisted companies.
âŞď¸The tax covers investment in any private business entity, but only in 2016 was it applied to startups.
Statement:-4 is Incorrect
âŞď¸The Finance Act of 2012 first introduced the Angel Tax concept in India, which became applicable in April 2013. The Income Tax Act keeps updating the provisions related to Angel Tax. As per the latest budget of 2023, the angel tax is also applicable to foreign investors. | 0 |

đŻđClimate Change Could Lead to Significant Loss of đŚđŚ Seafood Nutrients in Low-Income Countries.

After planting thousands of Conocarpus trees (locally Saptaparni) over the last few years, the civic bodies in Gujarat are now chopping them down after government orders sought a ban on planting the species because of its environmental and health hazards.
The tree was the go-to option for municipal agencies and industrial units of Gujarat engaging in afforestation activities to meet their environmental commitments, till the state government banned its plantation on September 26, 2023.
The order issued by the forest department highlighted the damages the plant causes to environmental and human health.
The move came following years of campaigning by experts who pointed out that the plant is a water-guzzler and can hit the water tables. Large populations of this tree has sped up the evaporation process and its roots choke the drainage pipes, they added.
The plant pollinates twice a year and is also injurious to human health, stated experts, citing a rise in cases of cough, cold, asthma and respiratory disorders. | 0 |

NASA is preparing to embark on a remarkable journey into the depths of our Milky Way Galaxy using the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. This advanced telescope will scan the vast expanse of space, searching for subtle signals and telltale flickers that could unlock secrets about the cosmos and transform our understanding of the universe.

đĄVimarsh-2023
A national hackathon named âVimarsh-2023â has been unveiled with the goal of identifying innovative tools to ensure the secure utilization of 5G technology by law enforcement agencies during sensitive operations. The Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) and the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) initiated the hackathon, which is a significant step towards enhancing the capabilities of police forces.

đThe FLAMINGO project
âŞď¸The ambitious project embarked on a series of computer simulations, carefully tracking the formation of structures in dark matter, ordinary matter, and neutrinos. The calibration of galactic winds, a significant factor in these simulations, was accomplished through machine learning. By comparing diverse simulations of relatively small volumes with observed galaxy masses and gas distributions in galaxy clusters, the scientists achieved a more accurate representation of these astrophysical processes.
âŞď¸The FLAMINGO project leveraged a supercomputer to execute these simulations across varying cosmic volumes and resolutions. Notably, the most extensive simulation involved an astonishing 300 billion resolution elements, each akin to the mass of a small galaxy, within a cubic volume spanning ten billion light years. This achievement is considered the most extensive cosmological computer simulation that includes ordinary matter.

đŽđąđľđ¸Israel used white phosphorus bombs in GazađŁ
âŞď¸White phosphorus is a highly inflammable chemical substance which is dispersed in artillery shells, bombs and rockets and ignites when exposed to oxygen. While not classified as a chemical weapon, it causes severe burns, often down to the bone, and can reignite when exposed to oxygen.
âŞď¸White Prosphorus:-White phosphorus is considered an incendiary weapon, primarily designed to set fire to objects or cause burn injuries through the action of flame, heat, or a chemical reaction of a substance delivered on the target.White phosphorus munitions are intended for illuminating and creating smoke screens, with incendiary effects being secondary or unintentional.
