Rubya Chaudhry Reveals Details About Her Divorce

Rubya Chaudhry tied the knot with musician Meekal Hasan in 2016 and they kept their life private however nobody knew that they got divorced but after a long time, Rubya has opened up about her divorce.

She shared, “I always knew people can be crass and ill-mannered, but there isn’t anything like experiencing it first hand. I don’t even so much as humour these types usually, but in some situations, one just HAS to put their foot down.”

Talking about her marriage and divorce she said, “I got married a few years ago and then got divorced super quickly after. And that’s that really. Never really put my private life up for people to speculate about in the first place, but I don’t blame them for being curious about such matters.”

“Well, now you know. I’d also like to add that divorce doesn’t always mean sadness and death and hayay hayay yeh kya hogya! Hayayyy bachi ki zindagi tabaaah ho gai! It could also mean bachi ki zindagi tabaah honay say BACH gayee. It also means a second chance at love, at life, at all the wonderfully amazing chapters that may have never actualized had you chosen the dead-end as your destiny. Choose to thrive. Choose divorce if it ain’t your scene and stop worrying about all the ill-mannered and crass people around,” she added.

She also shared the reason for writing this note and said, “And I didn’t have to share this. But this is not just about me, it’s about the hundreds of thousands of women who are made to feel like they should be ashamed if their marriages didn’t work out, who are told time and again by their own husbands and in-laws that there’s something wrong with them, that they need to change themselves to fit into some mould of the perfect wife (whatever that is), who’s gaslighted continuously and stripped of their vibrant personalities.”

In the end, she said, “Basically what I’m saying is… Alhamdulillah. Kuch toh log kahain gay, Logon ka kaam hai kehna, Chhoro baykaar ki baaton main, Kaheen beet na jayay raina.”

FBR to Collect CGT on Share Sales Annually

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided on collecting Capital Gains Tax (CGT) annually, instead of monthly collections. This will now provide more liquidity to investors for selling shares of publicly listed companies.

Tax filers are liable to pay 15 percent CGT on the sale of shares on profit. Non-tax filers are liable to pay 30 percent CGT on profit. The losses on sales of shares are adjustable over a three-year period.

Prior to this agreement, the losses were needed to be adjusted annually. The National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL) collects CGT on behalf of the revenue board. Combined, these factors were causing a lack of liquidity for investors.

17 Local & International Companies Interested in Running Pakistan Steel Mills

A total of seventeen companies have expressed interest in partnering with the Pakistani government to run Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) on a public-private partnership, Arab News reported.

The foreign companies that have shown a willingness to partner with Pakistan in this regard include six Russian firms including the METPROM Group, three Chinese companies including the Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC), four Ukrainian entities including the Ukrainian National Foreign Economic Corporation, and one American firm.

According to the recent statements of the Minister for Industries, Hammad Azhar, the government plans to run the state-owned PSM on a public-private partnership model, with Pakistan as the majority shareholder.

Once responsible for almost half of the country’s steel needs, the state-owned Pakistan Steel Mills in Karachi, designed and funded by the Soviet Union in the 1970s, now contributes Rs. 15-20 billion in annual losses to the national exchequer and has been dormant since 2015.

Government to Sell 1,300 Acres of Pakistan Steel Mills Land

According to Pakistani government officials, PSM infrastructure has the annual capacity of expanding production to three million tonnes of cold and hot-rolled steel.

However, faulty policies and failure to upgrade relevant technology and machinery caused production to drop by as much as 92 percent in the past decade. The dip in demand brought about by the 2008 recession also did not do any favors to the mill, and consumers turned to cheaper imported steel products, thereby further denting PSM’s revenues.

The incumbent government, however, seems bent on turning the loss-making entity around and has also begun to take some highly unpopular decisions, starting with laying off of almost half the workforce of PSM.

However, the government also believes that once PSM begins to operate at full capacity, it will lead to employment generation. Once the company is performing efficiently, it will not only fulfill local steel demand but would also provide opportunities for Pakistan to export steel products.

Now, the government has caught the interest of several local and international firms in this pursuit of reviving the 19,000-acre facility.

Apple Faces iPhone 12 Pro Supply Issues Due to Hardware Shortage

As expected, the iPhone 12 series has been incredibly well received in the market with global sales exceeding expectations. However, despite healthy demand, Apple is facing supply constraints which is causing a shortage for some of the iPhone 12 models due to a lack of critical components.

According to a report from UDN, the iPhone 12 Pro is currently in short supply and the primary reason for this is a lack of some key ICs for the device. These components are crucial for the device and they cannot be assembled without them.

The report also says that the supply constraint will continue until next year. This is because foundries are currently overwhelmed with orders and their lack of capacity to make advanced process wafers and the shortage of packaging and testing will continue until Q2, 2021.

This is why Apple is unable to keep up with the supply gap for the iPhone 12 Pro, which is larger than the iPhone 12 and Pro Max at the time of writing. This will affect the company’s overall annual Smartphone shipments for 2020 and some portion of 2021 as well.

Moreover, since orders for smartphone components are growing in recent months, Apple may find it difficult to stock up inventory for its iPhones in the near future.
