Abstract: As in any other states of India, Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced into the taxation system of Manipur from July, 2005. Studies found VAT to be a major revenue contributor in most Indian States. The question is whether implementation of VAT in Manipur achieves these objectives. The existing few literatures failed to give a clear picture of the impact of VAT on the revenue of the state. Keeping this in view, the present study is an attempt to evaluate the impact of VAT on the economy of the state, particularly the revenue aspects. The extent of the revenue gain of VAT is found to be impressive as compared to the previous sales tax it replaced. The aggregate VAT to GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) ratio shows an increase from 1.7 per cent in the year 2005-2010 to 2.5 per cent during ...........

Abstract: Transitivity plays an important role in shaping academic writers‟ identities and allowing them to voice their presence in their research community. Transitivity, as a system of choices including intensive complementation, intransitive complementation, monotranstive complementation, ditransitive complementation and complex-transitive complementation, allows writers to make different selections according to the generic features of the corresponding culture (Halliday&Mathiessen, 2014; Mathiessen, 2004). Considering the gap in the literature of genre analysis of ditransitivity (Mukherjee, 2005), the present research attempts to focus on writers‟ lexico-grammatical choices of ditransitives according to clause type and to find out how these choices are determined by the generic features of the Research Article and the characteristics of Medical Science and Sociology. In order to explore academic writers‟ preferences, the different types of clauses including ditransitives have been annotated via.........
