Anuloma-Viloma Pranayama – Alternate Nostril Breathing
So after a light warm up and a little bit of stretching, you can get ready for today’s practice which is Anuloma-Viloma or alternate breathing technique. Pranayamas are super powerful. They directly affect our central nervous system thus help us regulating our thoughts making us calmer and bring us peace. Thus it is important to do it correctly.
Steps to perform Anuloma-Viloma (NadiShodhan Pranayama) :
Step 1: Sit in any comfortable posture. You can sit in sukhasana, padmasana, ardhapadmasana or even comfortably on a chair. I would suggest take back rest.
Step 2: Left hand in chin mudra i.e. join the thumb and first finger and rest of the fingers straight. Place your left hand on your knee. We will use our right hand to regulate our breath.
Step 3: Now, position of your right hand – place your first and middle finger in between your eyebrows (Agya chakra), thumb is to block the right nostril and the rest two fingers are for the left nostril.
Step 4: Breath out fully. Now breathe in from the left nostril (blocking right) – full – deep – long breath and slowly breathe-out from the right nostril (Blocking the left). Again breathe in from the right and breathe out from the left. Continue…breathe in from the left, breathe out from the right. This is alternative nostril breathing. We need to take deep, long and controlled breaths. Ideally breathing out is slower than breathing in.
People who have infection in the lungs, severe abdominal issues, growth in the nose (polypus), enlargement of liver, severe throat infection, blockage of the nasal passage, appendicitis, or have undergone any recent nose surgery must avoid.
- Cleans the respiratory track/passage
- Helps to reduce arthritis problems
- Proves beneficial inchronic sinus problems and snoring
- Mind becomes calm, heart beats are regulated i.e. natural rhythm is restored.
- It is a very good practise to maintain your mental health. Helps in reducing baseless fears and anxiety issues, acts as a preventive/remedial practise for depression and sadness.
- Improves blood circulation.
- It has a positive impact on all the organs of our body.
Keep you neck, back and spine erect – This is crucial. Any pranayama is done for minimum of 5 minutes to achieve its benefits. Don’t make any noise while breathing. The breaths are slow, conscious and normal.
GST Dossier
How to Comply – Part 1
Various returns need to be filed by various taxpayers to comply with GST mandates.
The filing procedure of the returns GSTR-1, GSTR-5, GSTR-6, GSTR-7, GSTR-8 and GSTR-11 is same.
Filing process:
What differs is the taxpayer type, due dates (already covered in yesterday’s WFH Dossier) and details to be uploaded by the taxpayer.
GSTR-1: GSTR-1 is filed by a normal taxpayer.
In GSTR-1 the taxpayer uploads his daily sales to registered and unregistered persons, his exports and amendments made to such sales. GSTR-1 also includes other supplies like Nil-rated, Non-GST and Exempted supplies. This is something which all of us know. But below are just some facts about GSTR-1 which is not known to all:
Nil-rated, Non-GST and Exempted supplies are shown just to depict the turnover for the month. They don’t have any impact on the tax payment under GST. Hence there is no separate table to show amendments to Nil-rated, Non-GST and Exempted Supplies.
B2B RCM sales reported in GSTR-1 Table 4(B) have no impact on tax liability of taxpayer hence it is not considered while matching GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B of the taxpayer. The details of invoices shown in this section get auto-populated in GSTR-2A of the counterparty.
Export refunds of the taxpayer are not just completely related to the liability paid by the taxpayer in GSTR-3B it is also related to the details of invoices shown in Table 6 (A) of GSTR-1. (You can visit our blog on export refunds for further details https://irisgst.com/non-transmission-of-export-refunds-in-icegate/)
B2CS is the only section in GSTR-1 where invoices are reported net of credit/debit notes.
Document Details is the only section where serial number is mandatory.
Please read our tomorrow’s segment to know such facts about GSTR-5, GSTR-6, GSTR-7 and GSTR-8.
