MCA signs MoUs for developing a Comprehensive system for early detection of corporate frauds.
Signing of MOUs between Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Financial intelligence unit & NIELIT Giving a fillip to the early establishment of a state-of-art Forensic Lab within the premises of Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in the national capital; and the development of a Comprehensive Early Warning System (EWS) for detection of corporate fraud and malfeasance at the earliest, three important MoUs were signed here today in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in the presence of Shri Sachin Pilot, Minister of Corporate Affairs.
Shri. Naved Masood, Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs was also present on the occasion.
As per the Memorandum, NIELIT will set up a state-of-art Forensic Lab within the premises of SFIO – with a total outlay of Rs. 3.80 Crore on a turnkey basis, to be completed in two phases.
The MoUs signed with FIU-IND will lead to better and faster exchange of information between the 3 Govt. of India entities. FIU has been playing a pivotal role in the collection and dissemination of information on suspicious banking transactions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. FIU-IND has been helping both the Ministry and SFIO from time to time by supplying information on suspicious banking transactions. Having access to banking information as well as expertise of FIU, the MoU will help SFIO in conducting its investigation in a more effective manner. These initiatives will facilitate development of a comprehensive EWS for detection of fraud and malfeasance at the earliest.

*GENERAL CIRCULAR NO. 6/2013* [FILE NO. 5/03/2013-CL-V], *DATED 14-3-2013*Subject: Clarification under Section 372A(3) of the Companies Act,1956.
Such bonds were also provided for in Budget 2012-13, but the response had been poor due to restrictions under section 372A(3) of the Companies Act, 1956.
It is observed from the Budget 2013-14 authorizes Union Govt. to raise Rs. 50,000 crores (Tax Free Bonds). These bonds carry a lower rate of interest, currently in the range of 6.75% to 7.50% which is tax free under section 10(15) (iv)(h) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
Such bonds were also provided for in Budget 2012-13, but the response had been poor due to restrictions under section 372A(3) of the Companies Act, 1956.
--> Ministry of Finance had drawn the attention of this Ministry to section 372A(3) of the Companies Act with a view to effectively implement the announcement made in the Budget. Section 372A(3) of the Act "inter alia "provides that “No loan to any body corporate shall be made at a rate of interest lower than the prevailing bank rate, being standard rate made public under section 49 of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (2 of 1934)”.
--> It is hereby clarified that in cases where the effective yield (effective rate of return) on tax free bonds is greater than the yield on prevailing bank rate, there is no violation of section 372A(3) of Companies Act, 1956.
--> This circular is effective from the date of issue.
--> This issues with the approval of Hon’ble Corporate Affairs Minister.

Drive Against Fake Pan Cards

The Government has launched drive against fake Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards. As a continuous process, in order to know the genuineness of Know Your Customer (KYC) documents on Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA), third party field verification is conducted after allotment of PAN. The information of failed KYC verification is made available to field formations of Department to mark the event in respect of PAN as ‘FAKE’ through Assessee Information System (AIS) application software.
Also, check on duplicate allotment of PANs to existing PAN allottees is an inbuilt feature of PAN allotment software process which works as a continuous process.
The following is the number of PAN marked as Fake:
Year No. of Cases
Before 1.4.2009 -136
2009-10. -37
2010-11. -56
2011-12. -100
2012-13(till date) -180
Total. -509
The following is the number of PAN marked as Fake:

2009-10. -37
2010-11. -56
2011-12. -100
2012-13(till date) -180
Total. -509
Of the total PAN allotment, 96.35% PAN allotments are under the category of “Individual” applicants and maximum fake/duplicates are also observed under individual category. For uniquely identifying the PAN allotted and to overcome the problems of fake PANs, issue of more than one PAN to an individual and to clean up the PAN database duplicates, capturing of Aadhaar in revised PAN application from 49A has been started on voluntary basis. 3,04,452 unique Aadhaar numbers have been seeded/incorporated into PAN database. For KYC strengthening, the format of certificate of Identity/Address issued by MP/MLA/Municipal Counselor/Gazetted officer has been prescribed.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Finance, Shri S.S. Palanimanickam in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.

IT notice to Shell India, Is it Tax on FDI
Posted by Studycafe
Posted on Monday, March 11, 2013
with No comments
It’s pretty much definite that we all have heard of Vodafone case and constitute same a landmark in Indian Judicial System.
Possibly Shell India case will be
one such case too shaking the roots of FDI
by probing in to the system.
This Article has been posted by Raja Vardhan. He Can be reached at a.rajvardhan@gmail.com
The recent news is that Shell India had received a notice
from Income Tax Department on tax evasion in the month of January and Shri. Prasenjit Bhattacharya
representing Shell India said that they would challenge the notice.
To understand the case better let me just take you through
the granny’s story of Shell India:
Decades ago an Royal
Dutch Shell being an Anglo-Dutch multinational oil and gas company wanted
to enter into the south Asian Countries. In India it incorporated a co. by the
name Shell India Markets Pvt Ltd. as an Indian Co. and was controlling Shell India (the Child) by Shell Gas BV (the parent) a foreign
company. Shell Gas BV was holding 100% stake in Shell India. To intensify its
business proceedings in India Shell India came out with issue of equity shares
in the year 2009. And the stage was well set for the IT Dept. to make its entry
when all of such shares were bought by Shell Gas BV(Foreign Co.) i.e. nothing
but Foreign (In)Direct Investment of Rs. 87 Crores , the area of conflict
being that all such shares were issued at Rs.
10/Share (18 US Cents) . And here comes the twist in the story, the
entry was late but it was the ultimate and latest thing that happened when IT
Dept. sent a notice in Jan 2013 to Shell Gas BV depicting that the Shell India
was undervalued in connection with the Equity issue in the March 2009 the shares issue to Shell Gas BV were
issued at Rs.10/share, but the
income-tax authorities peg the deal at Rs.183/share.
Shri. Prasenjit Bhattacharya after
consultation with Shri. Vikram Mehta
(CEO Shell India) said on Monday 4th of February that it would
challenge a tax department notice which claims that it underpriced a sale of
shares to an overseas group company by $
2.7 Billion and claimed that “Recent
media reports on tax evasion are baseless, and Shell India will challenge this
order strongly and is evaluating all options for redress” and they dint
reveal the amount of tax demand raised in connection to tax evasion. The future is left with the decision of the
one in the scorner’s seat. This case could go any way round, being a happy
ending to either of the parties.
After reading the granny’s story of Shell you are expected
to be left with following questions:
v Will Shell India have an Happy ending in this case ?
Possibly Yes! As the
Shell said the adjustment was on account of an issue of equity shares by Shell
India to its sole parent, Shell Gas BV, in March 2009 to finance investments
and to fund business activities. Shell Gas BV was the only parent of Shell
India before this equity issue and continued to be so after the issue, it said.
Rs
15,220 Crores ($2.7-billion) adjustment has been proposed in the transfer
pricing order of FY-09 of Shell India
Markets Pvt Ltd (Shell India), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal Dutch
Shell Group of Companies.
Adding on to the same Tax
experts said the valuation of the unlisted company was a grey area and would
lead to litigation, just like the Vodafone case. “In a listed company, the valuation is based on SEBI (Securities and
Exchange Board of India) formula, which is the average of six-month or two-week
share price, whichever is higher,” said R S Loona, managing partner of Alliance Corp Lawyers. “But in
unlisted companies, the valuation can be based on fair market price, or book
value, or returns on share based on a certification by an independent valuer.”
And to the best of my
knowledge "there are no provisions
under the income tax law for such revaluation."
Yasmine Hilton, chairman of Shell
Group of Companies in India, said in a statement “Taxing the money received by Shell India is
in effect a tax on foreign direct investment, which is contrary not only to law but also to the
spirit of the recent global trip by the (Indian) finance minister to attract
further FDI into India.”
One more common
sense point is being that “One can’t
make money by mere purchase.”
v Can IT Dept. make a global breakthrough against Shell India?
This part is
still poised and kept suspense as Income tax authorities couldn't be reached by
media for comment or IT Dept dint wanted to disclose the same now and wanted to
keep its arguments awaited.
We all have witnessed Income Department making
retrospective amendments in revenue interest in the landmark Vodafone Case. As
the amount of tax demand in this case too is high, I won’t be amazed if there
are any such amendments in near future to bring Shell India under the lights of
Tax demanded.
Irrespective of the outcome the points of
argument and the expected changes in the law will remain to be good things to
learn. Please feel free to post your views, suggestions and recommendations in
the comment box.
SEBI Board Meeting
Posted by Studycafe
Posted on Monday, March 11, 2013
with No comments
The SEBI Board met in New Delhi & took the following decisions:
1. Regulations for issuance andlisting of non-converti- bleredeemable preference shares:
The Board approved the SEBI (Issue and Listing of Non-ConvertibleRedeemable Preference Shares) Regulations, 2013 thereby providing a comprehensive regulatory framework for issuance and listing of non-convertible redeemable preference shares. As in case of SEBI (Issue and Listing of Debt Securities) Regulations, 2008, the proposed Regulations provide framework for public issuance of non-convertible redeemable preference shares and also listing of privately placed redeemablepreference shares. Considering the risks involved in the instrument, certain requirements like minimum tenure of the instruments (three years), minimum rating (“AA-” or equivalent) etc. have been specified in case of public issuances. For listing of privately placed non-convertibleredeemable preference shares, minimum application size for each investor is fixed at Rupees Ten Lakhs.
As per Basel III norms, Banks can issue non-equity instruments such as Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares and Innovative Perpetual Debt Instruments, which are in compliance with the specified criteria for inclusion in Additional Tier I Capital. The proposed Regulations shall, mutatis mutandis, be applicable to aforesaid instruments issued by banks, subject to compliance with the provisions of Companies Act, 1956 or/ and any other applicable laws and such other conditions that may be specified by SEBI and subject to making adequate disclosures and relevant risk factors in the offer document.

2. SEBI Budget for 2013 -14:
The Board also approved the Budget of SEBI for financial year 2013-14 with focus on investor education and awareness, development of the markets, enhancing market surveillance capabilities and improving the access of investors to SEBI. In this regard, the Board approved the opening of six more local offices at Ranchi, Raipur, Panaji, Shimla, Dehradun and Srinagar.
3. Simplification& rationalization of registration requirements for brokers:
Presently, to become a stock broker, it is required to get a separate certificate of registration from SEBI while operating in different segments of a stock exchange viz. equity, equity derivatives, currency derivatives and also for each category like trading member, trading cum self clearing member and a professional clearing member.
With a view to simplifying and rationalizing the registration requirement, the Board decided to amend the regulations for stock brokers so that there may be one certificate of registration per stock exchange for a stock broker. For operating in other segments and in aforesaid different categories he would take approval from the stock exchange, subject to compliance of all regulatory requirements. The stock exchange shall keep SEBI informed about such approvals in periodical reports.
