To further ease of income income tax filing, capital gains from listing securities and interest income to come pre-filled in ITRs, Sitharaman said. Exemption from tax audit limit doubled to ₹10 crore turnover for companies doing most of their business through digital modes, finance minister added.

US Election Results 2020: Biden defeats Trump to become 46th President of US.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not,' says Biden on Twitter.

Joe Biden has been elected the 46th President of the United States. His success is the culmination of 50 years in public service: 36 years in the Senate, eight years as Vice President, and two failed previous presidential campaigns. At 78 on Inauguration Day, he will be the oldest President to take office.

Biden crossed the 270 electoral threshold Saturday morning, clinching the race with his victory in Pennsylvania, according to the Associated Press. Sen. Kamala Harris will join the President-elect as the first Black, Indian, and female Vice President in American history. Biden received more than 4 million more votes than Trump overall.
The win ends 18 months of constant campaigning in what was the most tumultuous presidential election in modern history. Within the past year alone, President Donald Trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress; 235,000 Americans have died in the COVID-19 pandemic; the President tested positive for the virus and was hospitalized; the U.S. fell into recession with an unemployment rate that neared 15%; George Floyd was killed by a white police officer leading to massive civil unrest and protests across the country; and wildfires ravaged the West Coast, displacing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.
