Article on COMPANY SECRETARIES: THE GOLDEN PEOPLES

Posted: 22 Jan 2017 12:26 AM PST

Article on COMPANY SECRETARIES : THE GOLDEN PEOPLESĀ 

.
As being a member or a student of ICSI (company secretary course it always comes in our mind that what is a company secretary course how is started? How do we initiate? What is the scope of this Course? So here through our article all the question which comes in our mind as being a member or the student of the company secretary course .
.
so possibly we tried to answer the entire question through our this article.

  1. Why our profession called as company secretary?
Around 56 years back when our nation tries to uplift itself or on a path of development and growth pace and a number of companies registered itself as a corporate entity in India then there is a need arisesĀ  for the compliances in the company and to carry on a companies in a systematic manner and as well a need Ā of person who Ā will be abide by rules and regulations Ā able to help to the business entities to comply the rules and regulations and take a burden on their shoulder for the proper compliances of rules and regulation of the corporate entities . to fulfill this emptiness in the corporate field a course framed that is company secretary .now again the question is here why the word company secretary has been used for this profession so the answer is here,Ā Secretary means a person a person employed by an individual or in an office to assist with correspondence, make appointments, and carry out administrative tasks, and same work the company secretary will do for the corporate entity to
  • assist the entities;
  • to organize different avenues of profit and compliances in the business world;
  • to administer the corporate entities;
So the word company secretary came into picture and our profession names asĀ Ā Ā 

Define Company Secretary:
CompanySecretary
CCompliancesSSpecialized
OObserversEEnergetic
MManagementCController
PProfessionalRRealistic
AAbide by rulesEEnthusiastic
NNurtureTTrained
YYield maximizeAAgent


RRegulator


YYour company
.
  1. But the major question how it started?
So here the answer is the in the year of 1960 the company law board started a course in company secretary ship leading to the award of government diploma in company secretary ship course grew the government promoted on 4 the October 1968 institute of company secretaries of India under section 25 of the companies act 1956for taking over from the government the conduct of company secretary ship examination the institute of company secretararies of India have ever since been converted into a statutory body w.e.fĀ 1stĀ of January 1981under the company secretary act 1980.

Ā Presently the institute of company secretaries of India divided into five regional council:
Northern Region
11 Chapters & 11 Sate light Chapters
Southern Region
11 Chapters & 5 Sate light Chapters
Western Region
9 Chapters & 2 Sate light Chapters
EasternĀ  Region
5 Chapters
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  International Chapter
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Dubai (UAE)
.
  1. Now the question who will be company secretary?
Ā So the act itself answer the question that
Ā (a) Any person who immediately before the commencement of this Act was an Associate or a Fellow (including an Honorary Fellow) of the dissolved company;
Ā (b) Any person who is a holder of the Diploma in Company Secretary Ship awarded by the Government of India;
Ā (c) any person who has passed the examinations conducted by the institute and has completed training either as specified by the institute or as prescribed by the Council, except any such person who is not a permanent resident of India;
(d) Any person who has passed such examination and completed such training, as may be prescribed for membership of the Institute;
Ā (e) any person who has passed such other examination and completed such other training without India as is recognised by the Central Government or the Council as being equivalent to the examination and training prescribed under this Act for membership of the Institute : Provided that in the case of any person belonging to any of the classes mentioned in this above Ā who is not permanently residing in India, the Central Government or the Council may impose such further conditions as it may deem to be necessary or expedient in the public interest.
So a person who is mentioned above can be company secretary.
The first person who became company secretary in India was
Ā Mr. SH NARAYAN SWAMIĀ with a membership numberĀ ā€œA1ā€Ā from Chennai.Ā Ā 
After that so many came and now the membership number reached near about 48000+.
So this was the golden history of our valuable profession called COMPANY SECRETARIES (THE COMPLIANCE HEADS OF THE COMPANY)
.
  1. Now the question is how to become a company secretary (The Observers)?
So the institute of company secretaries of India gave brief guidelines to grace his or her name with the initial called (CS)
Stages to become a Company Secretary:
The student who would like to join theĀ Course after 10+2 pass or equivalentĀ has to undergoĀ three stages to pursue the Company Secretaries Course i.e.Ā 
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 
  • Foundation ProgrammeĀ 
  • Executive Programme
  • Professional Programme
The Student who would like to join the Course after passing the Graduation has to undergo two stages of the Company Secretary ship i.e.Ā 
Executive Programme
Professional Programme
Foundation ProgrammeĀ which is ofĀ eight months durationĀ can be pursued byĀ 10+2 pass or equivalent students of Arts, Science or Commerce stream (Excluding Fine Arts)
Executive ProgrammeĀ can be pursued by aĀ Graduate of all streamsĀ except Fine Arts.
Professional ProgrammeĀ can be pursued onlyĀ after clearing the Executive Programme of CS Course
(Time To Time Institute Do Efforts to Make This Profession Abreast)
So after going through all the stages and after completing the necessary training of two years under a professional a person can grace his name with such dignified degree i.e.Ā Company Secretaries (The Corporate Personality )
After successful completion of the examination and the completion of the training a person have to apply for the membership number and after due verification the institute will provide a membership no to the person and register a person MEMBER OF THE INSTITUTE
Ā  THERE IS TWO PHASES OF MEMBERSHIP:
  1. ASSOCIATE COMPANY SECRETARY MEMBER (ACS)
  2. FELLOW COMPANY SECRETARY MEMBER (FCS)

AS soon as the person qualifies all the level of examination and complete all the necessary training and applied for the membership number the INSTITUTE provide a membership number to the candidate termed as ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP NO.
And after successful completion of 5 year a person who is holding an associate membership will be eligible to become a FELLOW MEMBER of the institute.
.
  1. Now the question is how the company secretary (the regulator) works?

After getting a membership number a company secretary can do a work in two ways:

  • Company secretary whole time in practice
  • Company secretary whole time in employment

The company secretary who according to:
Section 2(2) of the Company Secretaries Act, 1980 (hereinafter called the Act) provides that a member of the Institute shall be deemed to be in practice when, individually or in partnership with one or more members of the Institute in practice or in partnership with members of such other recognised professions as may be prescribed, does any of the following in consideration of remuneration received or to be received: engages himself in the practice of the profession of company secretaries to, or in relation to, any company; or
(b) Offers to perform or performs services in relation to the promotion, formation, incorporation, amalgamation, reconstruction, reorganisation or winding up of companies; or
(c) Offers to perform or performs such services as may be performed by:
(i) An authorised representative of a company with respect to filing, registering, presenting, attesting or verifying any documents (including forms, applications and returns) by or on behalf of the company,
(ii) A share transfer agent,
(iii) An issue house,
(iv) A share and stock broker, a secretarial auditor or consultant, an advisor to a company on management including any legal or procedural matter falling under the Capital Issues (Control) Act, 1947
** the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951, the Companies Act, 1956, the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, any of the rules or bye-laws made by a recognised stock exchange, the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969, the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973*, or under any other law for the time being in force,
(vii) Issuing certificates on behalf of or for the purposes of, a company; or
(d) Holds himself out to the public as a company secretary in practice; or
(e) Renders professional services or assistance with respect to matters of principle or detail relating to the practice of the profession of company secretaries; or renders such other services as, in the opinion of the Council, are or may be rendered by a company secretary in practice

A person is called in whole time employment when a member of the institute of company secretaries of India is appointed by the company an employee of itself and provides a salary for their work done then that member is called as a member whole time in employment.
Ā Then what is the criterion of appointment of a company secretary in companies?
So according to the companies act 2013
Section 203 of Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Appointment and Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014, necessitated thatĀ every listed company and every other public companyĀ havingĀ paid-up share capital of Rs 5 croresĀ or more to appoint the Company Secretary in whole-time employment.
.
  1. Now what are the avenues of work of company secretary (the agent)?
A company secretary whether in employment or in whole time practice have vast avenue of working like:
  • SEBI Act,
  • Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, Rules and Regulations made there under
  • SEBI Regulations and Guidelines
  • Listing Agreement
  • Competition Act, 2012
  • Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008
  • Companies act 2013

    .
  1. Now what are the Roles and responsibilities of company secretary (person who is abiding by law)?
Ā Ā Ā  A company secretary should perform the various roles mentioned below
  • Corporate Laws professional
  • Corporate Governance professional
  • Corporate Administration professional
  • Board and Shareholders Meetings organizer
  • Corporate Compliance Management professional
  • Stakeholder Relationship professional
  • IPO, ADRs / GDRs professional

  • Drafting Agreement professional
  • Mergers & Amalgamations professional
  • Insider Trading & Takeovers professional
  • Representations professional
  • Arbitration & Reconciliation professional
  • Direct and Indirect Taxes professional
  • Investor Education and Protection professional
It’s not enough now more avenues are ready to open for the company secretary:
  • It is also proposed under the direct tax laws to include the company secretary in the definition of accountant which is mentioned under the direct tax law of clause 88 of direct tax code 2013 in which says meaning of accountant as per clause 320(2) a accountant means chartered accountant within the meaning of the chartered accountant act 1949and who holds a valid certificate of practice under section 6(1) and shall include

  • The Institute Of Company Secretaries Of India have a memorandum of understanding with theĀ ACES to establish a Certified Filing Centre (CFC)
  • Company Secretary Can Do Concurrent And The Internal Auditor Of The Depository Registered Under The Depositories Act
  • It Is Also Proposed That A Company Secretary Will Be Included In The Definition Of The AuditorĀ  In Service Tax Act

NO,Ā the profession company secretaries are not only restricted up to the territorial limits of the country the institute of company secretaries of India comply their responsibility time to time and give a very precious mou with the different nations andĀ  open the ways in the another nation too. There are some MOU which THE INSTITUTE OF COMPANY SECRETARIES OF INDIA MADE
MOU WITH THE ICSA LANDON
A Memorandum of Understanding between the ICSI and ICSA was signed on November 11, 1995 at Jaipur, India which recognized the common interest both the Institutes have in promoting best practice in `Company Secretary ship’ and professional administration and it was agreed to explore positive ways of ensuing a close relationship between them.

So the profession of company secretary is not restricted up to one nation it spread all over the globe the only need is to open your feathers and grab the opportunities it only upon the capabilities how much a member is able to grab it .
Sometimes we also here that company secretary profession do not have any scope of working But I hope I well elaborated all the avenues of working of company secretary in India as well in abroad. So this is rightly said by some eminent authors that
ā€œDifficulties mastered are opportunities wonā€.
So in each and every path of success there is difficulties and the warrior is he who over come such difficulties
ā€œMrs. SMRITI IRANI (member of parliament ) said in her speech in NATIONAL CONVENTION Of the institute of company secretaries of India the all over the number of company secretaries are near about 75000 in which 50000 are from India ā€œ
And the person on whom the responsibilities lies on their shoulder are the person who is responsible enough and the company secretary is a designation on which whole building of the company stands and it is rightly said that
ā€œMAY HIGHER RESPONSIBILITIES WITH HIGHER DEGRAA OF POWER AND WIDE RANGE OF COMFORTSā€
And for such a valuable profession members of the company secretary should take a pledge that all the work which they done will be in the ambit of the rules and regulation because they are the regulators of the rules and regulation as well.

Taxable event under GST- Supply and its scope

Taxable event under GST- Supply and its scope

.

.
Taxable event:Ā Taxable event is very important matter in every tax law. Its determination is most crucial for the proper implementation of any tax law. Taxable event is that on the happening of which the charge is fixed. It is that event which on its occurrence creates or attracts the liability to tax.
In the history of indirect taxation in India we have seen different taxable events in different indirect taxes. Sales, purchase, removal of goods, services, luxury, entertainment and so on, the list goes on. GST i.e. goods and service tax which we are going to witnessĀ  will not only reformĀ  the whole of indirec taxes but also will reform the way of doing business in India.
Taxable event under GST:Ā Ā One of the very important feature of the regime of GST is the complete change in the taxable event different altogether from the taxable events witnessed in the indirect taxes as yet. The taxable event in theĀ  GST would be supply of goods and/or services. As per Article 366(1A) of Constitution of India Goods and Services Tax means a tax on supply of goods or services or both except taxes on supply of alcoholic liquor for human consumption. It is worth noting here that the word used is supply and not sales, hence consideration is not required for supply.
Definition of supply:The term supply has been defined in an inclusive manner under clause 3 of the revisedĀ Model GST Law.
The definition goes as follows:
(1) Supply includes—
(a) all forms of supply of goods and/or services such as sale, transfer, barter, exchange, license, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business,
Ā (b) importation of services, for a consideration whether or not in the course or furtherance of business, and
Ā (c) a supply specified in Schedule I, made or agreed to be made without a consideration.
(2) Schedule II, in respect of matters mentioned therein, shall apply for determining what is, or is to be treated as a supply of goods or a supply of services.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1),
(a) activities or transactions specified in schedule III; or
(b) activities or transactions undertaken by the Central Government, a State Government or any local authority in which they are engaged as public authorities as specified in Schedule IV, shall be treated neither as a supply of goods nor a supply of services.
(4) Subject to sub-section (2) and sub-section (3), the Central or a State Government may, upon recommendation of the Council, specify, by notification, the transactions that are to be treated as—
Ā (a) a supply of goods and not as a supply of services; or
(b) a supply of services and not as a supply of goods; or
(c) neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services.
(5) The tax liability on a composite or a mixed supply shall be determined in the following manner —
(a) a composite supply comprising two or more supplies, one of which is a principal supply, shall be treated as a supply of such principal supply;
(b) a mixed supply comprising two or more supplies shall be treated as supply of that particular supply which attracts the highest rate of tax.
Inclusive defintion of supply:Ā From the above clause 3 it is clear that the term supply has not been defined exhaustively rather it has been defined in an inclusive manner. It must be remembered that when the word ā€œincludesā€ is used in the definition, the legislature does not intend to restrict the definition. it makes the definition enumerative but not exhaustive. That is to say, the term defined will retain its ordinary meaning but its scope would be extended to bring within it matters, which in its ordinary meaning may or may not comprise.
Thus the term supply would include within its ambit not only the matters covered under clause 3 but also other matters which may be included by natural import.
Supply includes all forms of supply of goods and/or services such as sale, transfer, barter, exchange, licence, rental , lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person in the cource or furtherance of business. The important thing to be noted here is the use of word consideration and in the cource or furtherance of business.
However, certain matters have also been termed as supply even without consideration as mentioned under schedule I of the RevisedĀ Model GST law. Such transactions are:
(a) permanent transfer/disposal of business assets where input tax credit has been availed on such assets.
Ā (b) Supply of goods or services between related persons, or between distinct persons as specified in section 10, when made in the cource or furtherance of business.
(c) Supply of goods by principal to agent(Branch Transfers). Supply of goods by agent to principal (cases of inter-state purchases covered), Scope of SC judgement in Bakhtawar Lal Kailash Chand Areti curtailed.
Import of service:Ā Supply also includes specifically the import of service for a consideration whether or not in the cource or furtherance of business. However, Import of services by a taxable person from related person or from any of his other establishments outside India, in the cource or furtherance of business has been made taxable even without consideration.
Supply of goods vs Supply of services:Ā Further certain matters have been seperately explained to be treated as supply of goods and certain to be supply of services under schedule II of the Model GST Law. This has been done considering the past litigations on the issue of double taxation like in works contract AC restaurants, intangible goods, transfer of right to use goods etc.
.
Matters to be treated as goods:
(a) Any transfer of title in goods
(b) Any transfer of title in future goods undre an agreement (hire purchase)
(c) Transfer of goods forming part of assets on the directions of a person carrying on business, in such a way so as not to form part of business assets with or without consideration
(d) Goods forming part of business assets on ceasing to be a taxble person except when business is transferred as going concern to another person or business is carried on by a personal representative deemned to be a taxable person.
(e) Supply of goods by any unincorporated association to a member thereof for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration(Concept of mutuality seem to be covered as well).
.
Matters to be treated as supply of services:
(a) Any transfer of right in goods or undivided share in goods(transfer of right to use is a service)
(b) Any lease, tenancy, easement, licence to occupy land, lease or letting out of building including commercial, industrial or residential complex (renting of immovable property is supply of service)
(c) Job work on other’s goods
(d) Business goods put to private use or making available to any person for non-commercial purpose
(e) Renting of immovable property
(f) Construction of a commercial complex, building, civil structure or a part thereof, including a complex or building intended for sale to a buyer, wholly or partly, except where the entire consideration has been received after issuance of completion certificate, where required, by the competent authority or before its first occupation, whichever is earlier
(g) Transfer of IPRs
(h) development, design, programming, customisation, adaptation, upgradation, enhancement, implementation of information technology software;
(i) agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an act, or to tolerate an act or a situation, or to do an act;
(j) works contract including transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in some other form) involved in the execution of a works contract;
(k) transfer of the right to use any goods for any purpose (whether or not for a specified period) for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration;
(l) supply, by way of or as part of any service or in any other manner whatsoever, of goods, being food or any other article for human consumption or any drink (other than alcoholic liquor for human consumption), where such supply or service is for cash, deferred payment or other valuable consideration.(restaurant service).
.
There are certain activities which shall be neither service of goods nor supply of services, such transactions are mentioned under schedule III.
  1. Services by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation to his employment.
  2. Services by any Court or Tribunal established under any law for the time being in force.
  3. (a) The functions performed by the Members of Parliament, Members of State Legislature, Members of Panchayats, Members of Municipalities and Members of other local authorities;
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā (b) The duties performed by any person who holds any post in pursuance of the
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā provisions of the Constitution in that capacity; or
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  (c) The duties performed by any person as a Chairperson or a Member or aĀ Director
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  in a body established by the Central Government or a State Government or
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  local authority and who is not deemed as an employee before the
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā commencement of this clause.
  1. Services by a foreign diplomatic mission located in India.
  2. Services of funeral, burial, crematorium or mortuary including transportation of the deceased.
.
Similarly certain activites undertaken by Central or State Government or any local authority as specified in schedule IV shall be neither supply of services nor of goods.Ā Schedule IV provides exhaustive list of activities such as issuance of passport, visa, driving licence, birth and death certificates etc.
Apart from abovce section 3(4) provides that the central or state government may on recommendation of GST Council, specify by notification, the transactions that are to be treated as-
(a) a supply of goods and not as a supply of services; or
(b) a supply of services and not as a supply of goods; or
(c) neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services.
.
Taxability of Mixed and composite supplies:Ā Revised Model GST Law has also provided under clause 3(5) provisions for taxability of composite and mixed supplies as follows:
(a) a composite supply comprising two or more supplies, one of which is a principal sully, shall be treated as a supply of such principal supply. Example Supply of food during the course of transportation of passengers by air services shall be treated as supply of transportation of passengers by air.
(b) a mixed supply two or more supplies shall be treated as supply of that particular supply which attracts the highest rate of tax.

Job work under Revised GST Law if Job worker add his own material

Job work under Revised GST Law if Job worker add his own material

.

.
Sec.55 ofĀ Revised GST ActĀ lays down the procedure for removal of goods for job work. It states that aĀ registered taxable personĀ may, under intimation and subject to conditions as may beĀ prescribed, send any inputs and/or capital goods, without payment of tax,Ā to a job workerĀ forĀ job-work. Ā Thus essential conditions to be satisfied to be covered under provisions of Sec.55 are:
  1. Inputs/capital goods are to be sent by a registered taxable person.
  2. Inputs/capital goods are sent to a job worker. Job worker need not be a registered taxable person.
  3. Inputs/capital goods are sent for job-work.
As far as understanding / complying with condition no 1 is concerned it is a simple proposition. However, ones need to understand the meaning of job – work & Job worker respectively.
Sec.2(61) defines the term ā€œĀ Job Workā€ to mean undertaking any treatment or process by a person on goods belonging to another registered taxable person and the expressionĀ ā€œ job workerĀ ā€œ will be construed accordingly. This definition raises following questions which are required to be answered before we conclude that activity of sending inputs/capital goods amounts to job work:
  1. Does the definition mean that all material is required to be supplied by the registered taxable person?
  2. Does it include situations where the job worker adds his own material?
In a majority of job work transactions, job worker adds his own material – content of such usage differing in case to case within & across industries. In the case of Prestige Engineering India Ltd. v CCE, Meerut – 1994(9) TMI 66,Ā Supreme CourtĀ stated that where job worker contributed his own material to the goods supplied by the customer and was engaged manufacturing, the activityĀ was notĀ one of job work. Minor additions would not take away the fact that the activity was one of job work.
Thus one needs to carefully analyse the factual matrix under which the transactions are undertaken before a conclusion can be drawn.
If based on facts of the case if one comes to the conclusion that the proposed activity cannot be covered under job work, the benefit of Sec.55 will not be available. The transaction would be considered as supply and attract relevant tax.

Clarification Regarding Income Tax Slab Rate: Budget 2017

Many People are getting Confused that Individual Income Tax Slab Rate is Changed to 3L from 2.5L.

Tax @5% Above 2.5L Ā  Ā  Ā  2500/-
Less : Rebate u/s 87A Ā  Ā  2500/-

Union Budget 2017 Live Updates

.

Finance Minister to Announce Finance Budget from 11:00 AM. Get Live Updates from Here.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley is likely to boost spending and ease back on cutting the deficit with the Union budget on Wednesday, as he seeks to lift growth hit by the government’s drive to scrap high-value banknotes in November last year.
The finance minister was expected to present the annual federal budget despite the death of a sitting member of parliament, E Ahamed, an official said on condition of anonymity. Parliament typically adjourns for a day after the death of a member, although TV channels cited a precedent where the budget presentation had still gone ahead in a previous year.

Here are live updates on the Union Budget 2017/18:
13:10 (IST)
Lok Sabha adjourned after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley concludes his Budget 2017 speech.
ā€˜MSME corporate tax cut a big boost to entrepreneurship’
Reduction in corporate tax for SMEsĀ andĀ increased exemption of profits to 3/7 yrs a big boost to the small andĀ 1st gen businessmen of the nation.

— No tax on annual income of Rs 4.5 lakh who use rebates.
— Net revenue foregone on income tax changes is Rs 12,800 crore.
— Surcharge of 10% on annual income of Rs 50 lakh and above.
—New Rate for 44Ad – 6%
Government has finally moved one step forward in cleaning a corrupt and non-transparent system of political funding. This was a long-pending demand from the public at large. Though Prime Minister Modi had been talking about it for some time and Election Commission had made certain suggestions to the government, there was a great deal of scepticismĀ on whether or when the Government would actually make a move in this regard.
The popular pressure had grown after demonetisation. It was heartening to hear FM Jaitley talking of brining some amendments to take small but significant steps to cleanse political funding with the admission that political parties continue to accept through anonymous sources and donors fear to entail adverse consequences. The limit for anonymous cash donation has been brought down from RsĀ 20,000 to Rs 2,000.
NO CHNAGE IN SERVICE TAX & EXCISE DUTY RATES DUE TO UPCOMING GST
5% TDS on Insurance Agents Removed
12:56 (IST)Ā ā€œNo significant loss or gain due to budgetary proposals in the indirect taxation,ā€ says Jaitley
12:52 (IST)Ā Reduction of the existing rate of tax for low tax bracket individuals
ā€œReduce existing rate for income from Rs 2.5 lakh to 5 lakh to 5 % from 10%. 50% saving in income tax if a person is earning up to Rs 5 lakh,ā€ says Jaitley.
Income Tax limit for individuals – 2.5 Lacs – 5 lacs – Now 5% from earlier 10%
12:49 (IST)Ā NO TRANSACTION OVER RS. 3 LAKH WILL BE PERMITTED IN CASH
12:48 (IST)Ā Donation to political parties, no more than Rs 2,000 in cashĀ 
ā€œUp to Rs 2,000 can be donated in cash by anyone source to a political party. Political parties can receive donations through digital methods and cheques. Donors can buy RBI bonds and would be able to donate to a political party which can redeem within a specified time. The bond can be bought through cheque or by employing any digital method. Every political party has to file its returns as per Income Tax Act,ā€ says Jaitley.
— Limit of Rs 2000 on cash donations to charities. SIT suggests and government has accepted that cash transaction not to be allowed above Rs 3 lakh.
— Basic customs reduced from 5% to 2.5% on LNG terminals.
— Rs 7,200 crore revenue will be foregone on account of tax rebate to MSME.
— Income tax for small companies with an annual turn over of 50 crore, now to pay 25%, a 5% reduction.
–To make MSME companies more viable to pay 25% tax if turnover is up to Rs 50 crore.
–Startups to pay tax on profits for three out of seven years, increased from three out of five years.
–-Carry forward of MAT allowed for 15 years
12:42 (IST)Ā Capital gains tax for housing
ā€œPropose to make changes in capital gains tax for housing. Holding period for land and building will be reduced to 2 years from 3 years. Instead of build-up area, carpet area will be counted for affordable housing,ā€ says Jailtley.
12:40 (IST)Ā PM FasalĀ Bima Yojana:Ā Who is the government insuring exactly — farmers or companies?
Government expenditure hasĀ increased substantially from Rs 5,500 crore proposed last year to Rs 13,200. But it seems to have gone in the pocket of private insurance companies. Share of farmers covered has increased from 21% to only 24%. SumĀ assured has gone up, not the numbers of farmers covered, nor the claim amount. Who is the government insuring exactly: farmers or companies?
12:39 Tax cut for smaller firms
ā€œPropose to cut 5% tax for those firms whose turnovers are below Rs 50 crore. 96% firms of the country would be benefitted,ā€ says Jaitley.
12:36 (IST)Ā ā€˜New law to confiscate absconders’ overseas properties; need to see the details’
A new law proposed to enable lenders to confiscate assets of absconders living overseas. But existing laws permitted this. Remains to be seen how this new law is drafted and implemented.
Funds for banks at Rs 10,000 cr: Another year of disappointment?
Arun Jaitley said government will infuse Rs 10,000 crore this year in public sector banks, which constitute 70 percent of the industry. This is part of the ā€˜Indradhanush’ plan to infuse Rs 70,000 crore in PSU banks over five years. Given the mess the banking sector is in, the kind of bad loan problems, analysts were expecting much bigger capital infusion to equip public sector banks, beyond what is already planned. Though the FM has assured that government will make sure banks get additional capital, past evidence shows that capital is yet again going to be a major problem for the sarakari banks.
Consider this: Presently, state-run banks are severely undercapitalised. At least seven of the PSU banks have less than 8.5 percent Tier-I capital adequacy and one bank less than 8 percent. The problem is worsened with their non-performing assets (NPAs) hitting the roof (nearly Rs 6 lakh crore as on September, 2016 or nearly 8 percent of the total bank credit), and total chunk of stressed assets (bad loans and restructured loans together) jumping to 12-13 percent of the total bank credit. Jaitley should have allocated much more for weak state-run banks. Here, there is a bit of disappointment.
12:36 (IST)Ā Post demonetisation deposits go up
ā€œDemonetisation deposits between Rs 2-80 lakh made In 1.09 crore accounts. Post demonetisation deposits above Rs 80 lakh in 1.48 lakh accounts,ā€ says Jaitley.
–Analysis after demonetisation present revealing picture.
— We are largely a tax non-compliant country. Burden of those who evade taxes falls on the honest.
— 24 lakh people show income above Rs 10 lakh.
12:33 (IST)Ā Phasing out of FIPB and the extra push for FDI clears the murk and sends positive signal to foreign companies to invest in India:Ā Mehul Turakhia, Director Finance, Directi
12:32 (IST)Ā The push towards e-transactions through BHIMĀ andĀ Aadhar enabled payments puts India at the cusp of a digital revolution.
12:32 (IST)Ā Revenue deficit pegged at 1.9% of GDP
12:31 (IST)Ā Tax proposal to help middle class
ā€œThe thrust of my tax proposal in this Budget is to bring relief to the middle class, boost affordable housing, transparent political funding,ā€ says Jaitley.
12:31 (IST)Ā ā€˜Fiscal deficit roadmap consistent with promise; but need great effort’
With regard to fiscal deficit roadmap of 3 years, a long-term view has been maintained. This is consistent with promises made. However, it would require great effort to achieve it.
ā€˜Banking recap funds short of expectations’
Rs 10,000 crores for banks recapitalisation is in line, but short of expectations.
1.7 crore people file returns of 4.2 crore salaried people.
Tax-GDP ratio
ā€œTax-to-GDP ratio very low in India. We are largely a tax non-compliant society. When too many evades tax, the burden falls on those who are honest,ā€ says Jaitley.
12:24 (IST)Ā Fiscal deficit for 2017 at 3.2%
ā€œTotal resources to be transferred to states and UTs estimated at Rs 4.11 lakh crore. Allocation of capital expenditure up 25% YoY. Peg fiscal deficit for 2017 at 3.2%,ā€ says Jaitley.
12:21 (IST)Ā Defence expenditure excluding pension at Rs 2.74 lakh crore.

ā€œPropose revised mechanism for time-bound listing of PSUs. Shift to digital platforms to benefit the common man,ā€ says Jaitley.
12:18 New law to confiscate assets of those who flee country after crimes
ā€œNew law to come up to confiscate the assets of those who flee the country including those who commit financial crimes to escape the reach of law. The law will have constitutional safeguards and the assets in India would stand confiscated until the person submits himself or herself to the law,ā€ says Jaitley.

Right from the word go, the government gave clear indication that it would not change the schedule of the budget in face of the Congress’s attempt to politicise the death of Ahmed. Given the established principle that the House is the master of its own business, Mahajan made it clear that the norms and precedents set in Parliament could be amended.

11:10 (IST)Ā Will textile, leather sectors get sops to push job creation?
The Economic Survey may have dropped borad hints at how the governmenet may be planning to push job creation.
ā€œApparel and Leather & Footwear sectors are eminently suitable for generating jobs that are formal and productive, providing bang-for-buck in terms of jobs created relative to investment and generating exports and growth,ā€ said the survey released yesterday.
The Survey adds that these sectors provide immense opportunities for creation of jobs for the weaker sections, especially for women, and can become vehicles for broader social transformation in the country.
This could be a broad hint at the government’s plans for these sectors, which have large unorganised constituency. Though labour laws have been a major impediment in increasing investment in the sector and it is for the states to breing in reforms in this area now, the Centre could announce sops to boost the sectors. It is also to be remembered that textile was one of the sectors that was hit hard by the demonetisation of the Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.

Latest FAQs on Goods & Services Tax (GST)

Posted: 05 Feb 2017 01:09 AM PST

Latest FAQs on Goods & Services Tax (GST)

.
.
  1. GST BEFORE 16/09/2017
QUESTION:-Ā Is it possible to postpone GST beyond 16thĀ Sept. 2017?
ANSWER: – GST is not coming on 1stĀ April 2017 and now lawmakers have given new date 1stĀ July 2017. You mean to say that they will give a new date 1stĀ Sept. 2017 and then have a situation in which again they will postpone it.
QUESTION:-Ā Yes there may be an eventuality then what will happen?
ANSWER: – It is the duty of the law makers to introduce GST from 1stĀ July 2017 since they have declared that the final date is 1stĀ July 2017. So there should not be any apprehension in this respect.
QUESTION:-Ā Ok, I am taking it you are sure. But for the benefit of the readers please take this hypothetical question.
ANSWER: – Ok, it appears that the power of the Government to impose the erstwhile Indirect tax will end on 16thĀ Sept. 2016 so it should be treated as deadline. It is also apprehended that how the revenue will work in absence of all the Indirect taxes.
Though theoretical it is OK but practically our Lawmakers have two options.
First go to the President of India to remove this difficulty as is provided in theĀ GST constitution amendmentĀ bill or go to parliament before a reasonable time to remove this difficulty.
.
  1. MAIN HURDLE IN GST:- DUAL CONTROL
QUESTION:-Ā What are the main hurdles in the timely introduction of GST?
ANSWER: – At present as per the statements of the Lawmakers and News paper reports, there is no problem and they will introduce the GST as per their revised schedule.
QUESTION:-Ā The last problem was ā€œDual Controlā€?
ANSWER: – Yes it was and it is now solved by the States and the Centre.
QUESTION:-Ā Now dual control will not create any problem?
ANSWER: – Now it will create problems for the Dealers who will face this situation when GST will actually be implemented. If dealers will have problem then certainly the lawmakers will have to face the problem. The solution will create more problems for dealers as well as lawmakers.
.
  1. IGST :- IT WILL INCREASE COMPLIANCE COST
QUESTION:-IGST is very complex tax and will it increase the taxation cost also?
ANSWER: –
IGST will not be a third tax and instead of it , it will be a mechanism to monitor the interstate trade and commerce and through this system one part of the tax will go to the centre and other part will go to the state where goods will be consumed.
It is not a third tax but certainly it will increase the compliance cost.
.
  1. MIGRATION OF DEALER TO GST
QUESTION:-Ā How GST Migration of Dealers is going on?
ANSWER: – The work is very slow and in most of the case first part of the Migration is completed in schedule time.
QUESTION:-Ā What do you mean by first part of the Migration?
ANSWER: – First Migration means creating the user id and Password with the help of provisional id and password supplied by the respect indirect tax department but still the uploading of documents and verifying the information through digital signatures is still going on. I think it is good testing of the GSTN Network.
.
  1. WILL IT BE A GAME CHANGER!!!
QUESTION:-Ā GST will be a real game changer?
ANSWER: – Yes it will be.
QUESTION:-Ā Will it be positive?
ANSWER: -Yes, I hope and pray for it. The success of the GST will bring stability to the Indian economy but its failure will be very tough to bear. Once implemented there will be no facility to roll back, practically.
.
6.WHO WILL BE MORE POWERFUL IN GST:- CENTRE OR STATE
QUESTION:-Who will be more powerful in GST centre or states?
ANSWER: – Obviously Central Government both economically and administratively. See in GST council the central government practically has the veto power and further the centre’s tax base will also increase.
.
  1. GST PROCEDURES :- AMPLIFICATION IS MISSING
QUESTION:-Ā The GST procedures should be easy and user friendly. What are the Indications in this respect considering the fact that till today two model Drafts of the GST law have been introduced by the Lawmakers.
ANSWER: – Yes it should be but as appears from theĀ Draft law of GSTĀ including revised draft law of GST the procedures are not simple. If Lawmakers wants to make GST a success then ā€œSimplificationā€ should be there on their top agenda. If you want to increase the number of returns, procedural hazards then you will end with a complex and confusing law which will not be good for the taxpayers.
The law makers have still time so we can expect a lot on this front.
.
8.FEDERAL STAFF FOR GST
QUESTION:-Ā You have talked about the ā€˜Federal staffā€ for the GST regime to avoid the 50:50 type of solution of Dual control. Is it possible? Will it not create cadre, seniority etc. problems.
ANSWER: -I think I have listened this idea at a debate on GST on a News channel. I found it the most viable solution of Dual Control problem. It is my suggestion Now and I know it will be very difficult but see here the Indian format of the GST is itself is very difficult to implement so one more unique step of ā€œFederal staffā€ can be taken to relieve the taxpayers from future problems.
.
  1. RATE STRUCTURE UNDER GST
QUESTION:-Is there any idea about the rate structure in GST?
ANSWER: – Yes the law makers have decided a four tier rate structure and it is 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%.
QUESTION:-Ā What will the commodity wise rate structure. The taxpayers were waiting for it eagerly.
ANSWER: – The final rate structure is not declared yet but it is declared that 5% rate will be for common use items and the standard rate will be 12% and 18% and further the rate on ā€œDemerits Goodsā€ will be 28%. Luxury and demerit goods will further attract additional cess also.
The essential items will be at ā€œZeroā€ rate hence most of the essential goods including food items which constitute half of the Cost inflation Index will be exempt from tax.
The final list may be prepared but still not declared.
QUESTION:-Ā What about tax rate on Gold and precious metal?
ANSWER: – Centre proposed 4% for it but it is still kept pending considering the view that l lower rate is demanded by the concerned Trade and Industry and present rate of tax we can expect a much lower rate than 4% on this commodity.
.
  1. PROVISION FOR ARREST
QUESTION:-What is the controversy about arrest provisions in GST Law?
ANSWER: – Yes , there are lot of apprehensions about these arrest provisions in the GST draft law and even in Draft GST law no substantial change have been made even after lot of representation by the trade and Industry. In fact the thresholds limit for Cognizable and non-bailable of has been reduced toĀ Rs. 100Ā Lakhs. In the first Model Draft the threshold limit wasĀ Rs.250 Lakhs.
In the last GST council meeting the issue was discussed and as per news paper reports there is an agreement to make the threshold to Rs. 2 Crore. We still have these type of provisions in existing Service tax and Central Excise Laws so there is nothing new in this provision though the apprehension of the ā€œTrade and Industryā€ .
QUESTION:-Ā What experts are saying about the ā€œArrestā€ provisions of GST?
ANSWER: -Experts are also of the opinion though anti-profiteering and prosecution provisions may act as a deterrent for tax evasion, these are likely to do more harm than good under GST. It is said by Experts that sweeping powers are given to officials with discretion and subjectivity, it is likely to result in rampant misuse of authority creating hardships for GST dealers.ā€QUESTION:-Ā What experts are saying about the ā€œArrestā€ provisions of GST?
.
  1. GST RETURNS
QUESTION:-
There is disturbing news about number of returns under GST. Is there any fact that the number of returns to be filed under GST? Are there Monthly returns in GST? Will it not increase the compliance cost of the dealers.
ANSWER: – Yes there will be Monthly returns under GST and the dealers have to file returns with regular and very short intervals. There will be GSTR-1 (Outward supply) and the Last date will be 10thĀ of the Succeeding month then GSTR-2 (Inward Supply) to be filed after 10thĀ but before 15thĀ and GSTR- 3 (Monthly return) to be filed before 20thĀ of the succeeding Month hence there will be minimum of 36 returns for ever dealer. This number is quite high and requires reconsideration.
QUESTION:-Ā The whole system will be online so what will be the problem in filling of GST returns?
ANSWER: – There will be no problem for big dealers but Majority of GST dealers will come from medium and small sector and at present they are only paying VAT and are out of the preview of central Excise. They are in most of the states filing quarterly return and their Output and Input returns are merged with the quarterly return hence they are filling four quarterly return and one yearly return and now they have to file 37 returns in a year so it will be a problem for majority number of dealers.
Lawmakers should look into this problem and solve it considering the fact that the more procedural compliance will create problems for the dealers.
.
Ā 12.COMPOSITION SCHEME FOR SMALL DEALERS
QUESTION:-Ā Is there any provision of the ā€œComposition Schemeā€ under GST for the dealers who are not willing or not able to follow the whole procedures of the GST?
ANSWER: – See here composition schemes are not viable for the dealer who is selling goods to the other GST dealers because of input credit problem. So the composition schemes are viable for the dealers who are directly selling goods to the consumers.
Composition scheme is the simple method of paying tax with very minimum procedural compliance.
QUESTION:-What will be the rate of Composition under GST? The dealers will be required to pay two composition fees under SGST and CGST?
ANSWER:-Ā In draft Model GST the provisions of the Composition schemes are there and the threshold for composition is Rs. 50 Lakhs turnover and the rate will be not less than 2.5% each SGST and CGST i.e. total 5% for Manufacturers and for dealers the rate will be 1% each forĀ SGST and CGSTĀ i.e. total 2% .
This is subject to final enactment of the Law.
QUESTION:-Is there any exception of dealers who will not be eligible for Composition Scheme under GST?
ANSWER:-Ā The service Tax dealers and IGST dealers will be the exception and will not be able to go for composition besides some more exceptions.
QUESTION:-If a person has one unit which is manufacturing unit and selling manufactured goods to other dealers and further he has one more business in which he has a store and sale the goods directly to the customers. Now he wants to opt for composition scheme for this store and Normal GST Tax for the manufacturing unit. Is it permissible?
ANSWER:-Ā No, it is not permissible. A person having PAN have to opt for composition scheme for all the units under same PAN hence composition scheme for only one of such unit is not permissible.
This is provided in the first proviso to Section 9(1) of the revised model GST Act.
