Prabhat Jha writes to Chidambaram against I-T officials

Prabhat Jha writes to Chidambaram against I-T officials
Suchandana Gupta, TNN | Jul 29, 2013, 08.32 PM IST

BHOPAL: The BJP's national vice-president PrabhatJha on Monday wrote a strong-worded letter to Union finance minister P Chidambaram, vehemently denying that his flight tickets were sponsored by Madhya Pradesh based businessman and mining king Sudhir Sharma. On Saturday, a national daily broke the story from New Delhi that flight tickets of RajyaSabha member PrabhatJha and RSS general secretary Suresh Soni were paid by Sudhir Sharma.

The newspaper report was based on a confidential income tax department appraisal report of raids conducted in the residential and official premises of Sudhir Sharma and a construction honcho Dileep Suryavanshi two years ago.

In his letter, an irate Prabhat Jha threatened to move breach of privilege in the Rajya Sabha against two income tax officials whose intension he said was to defame a BJP vice-president''. Has the income tax department been given the authority to defame a member of Parliament and a citizen on baseless accusations? Is it not known to the IT department that as an MP I am entitled to 38 free flight tickets annually? I can still make some 40-50 such flight travels left-over in my quota. So why should I ask for someone else to purchase tickets for my travel?'' Jha asked.

Jha alleged that the IT department purposely defamed him with baseless accusations and then leaked its report with the intention of maligning and targeting the BJP under orders from the Congress-led UPA Centre. Raising various questions on how a confidential document under the possession of the income-tax department can get leaked to the media, he asked the Union finance minister to initiate prompt action against the income-tax officials responsible for the entire conspiracy.

He further wrote: We have a request for you since we consider this a matter of breach of privilege of a member of Parliament as also of the Parliament. When we give a breach of privilege notice against the two income tax officials to the chairman of the House for protection, you will stand as a protector.''

DRAFT PRESS RELEASE:CORRUPTION IN THE SELECTION OF AUDITOR OF IN GOVT. SECTOR

* DRAFT *PRESS
RELEASE

*CORRUPTION IN THE SELECTION OF AUDITOR OF GRAM PANCHAYAT AND PANCHAYAT
SAMITI AND OTHER GOVT. SECTOR: BY CA NITESH MORE*

Mahatma Gandhi's dream of Panchayati Raj is in danger.PM of India has
already accepted that only 15-20% of money reaches in the hands of poor
(targeted) persons. Auditor's are being appointed for Gram Panchayat,
Panchayat Samiti etc and *other Govt. sector, ALL OVER INDIA*. There is no
standard procedure for selection of auditor all over country. Collectors
had vested with the wide power and can appoint any one of His desire who
participated in tender. This has lead to corruption in the process of
selection of Auditor.

*WHAT SHOULD BE APPOINTMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS?*

There should be *uniform standardized procedure and basis *for selection
of auditor for govt sector. Such basis should be framed and disclosed to
the CA community. Power of arbitrary appointment to collector is not good
for the health of Domocracy in the country. *Fees should be predetermined *in
the tender and should be *fixed in consultation with ICAI*. Invitation
(tender)should be only to make a data base of who is interest to
audit. *Principal
of equal distribution of work* should be followed and work should be
distributed among CAs on rational basis, which if implemented will leave
less scope of corruption in the selection of appointment of auditor. Again,
Central Govt. should appoint auditor instead of collector. In many cases,
collector demands EMD and application fees. As for Example, In Angul


*ISSUES IN ANGUL DISTRICT*:

For participation in tender for Panchayat Audit in Angul District (last
date: 29 July, 2013: SEE ATTACHMENT):

· Rs 30000 is being demanded as Earnest Money

· Rs 1050 is being demanded as cost of application form, even if
application form is available for download from web site

· So, If 100 CA participate in tender, than they will make money
of 1 lakh (1000 X 100) from us.



*CONTACT DETAILS:*

CA ARVIND AGARWAL, COLLECTOR, ANBUL DISTRICT: 9437572567



*MY QUESTIONS:*

1) SHOULD APPOINTING AUTHORITY MAKE MONEY FROM CAs?

2) ARE CAs A CONTRACTOR AS DEPOSIT MONEY IS BEING DEMANDED?


*MY APPREHENTIONS:*

1) OTHERS WILL DEMAND IN FUTURE AS ANGUL HAS DEMANDED EARNEST MONEY AND
FEES FOR FORM.

2) QUANTUM of EMD and form fees CAN BE INCREASED IN FUTURE.



*QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED TO CENTRAL GOVT. , STATE GOVT. , PANCHAYATI RAJ
DEPARTMENTS AND COLLECTORS:*

1) Why do you appoint auditor by tender process? Why do not you fix the
fees of auditor and only invite application from CAs to select auditors ?
Why the recommendation of finance commission for a fees of 1500/ month for
audit of gram Panchayat etc is violated?

2) Why some collectors are taking deposit money, however others are not
taking EMD and

2) Why collector of Angul district is charging 1050 as fees of form
while, others are generally charging form fees of Rs 104?

3) So, if 100 CAs participate in tender, than you will make money of 1
lakh (1000 x 100). Should you make money from appointment of auditor?

4) Are CAs a contractor as you are asking for EMD of Rs 30000?

5) Don't you think that asking EMD is not good for independence of
auditors?

6) Even companies act requires that a ca who is indebted to company or
holding securities cannot be appointed as auditor. how can you impose EMD?
Is this not violation of international practice of appointment of auditors?

7) What parameters they use to judge the quality need for the work and
quality which a CA participating in tendering process?

*8) If you do not have parameters, why you do not ask ICAI to help in the
matter? *

"4 Body Language Secrets To Remember In Networking For Clients"

Body language can be extremely powerful when it comes to networking
<http://www.entrepreneur.com/marketing/networking/index.html> and
building relationships with others. Within the first seven seconds of
meeting you, people check you out visually. Could you be unknowingly
undermining your networking efforts through your body language
<http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/37810> ? If you are meeting with
new prospects/clients or planning to host an event, you'd better make
sure you are not discouraging people from approaching you with your body
language. Here are four key factors to keep in mind: 1. Eye contact.
Some of the most powerful and successful professional leaders in the
world are known for the impressions they make during face-to-face
meetings. Their gaze never wavers from the eyes of the person they are
speaking with, making them feel as if they are the most important person
in the room. With a little practice, anyone can do this. Are you
making good eye contact throughout the conversation? Or are you looking
behind the person to see who else is in the room? 2. Arm movement. If
you are speaking to someone and your arms are in a position that gives
even a subliminal hint that you're not interested, you're not going
to give off a positive impression. What are your arms doing? Are they
folded, signifying boredom, or tucked behind your back, indicating
interest? 3. Your stance. Make an effort to stand in a manner that is
open and welcoming, rather than blocking people out of your
conversation. Are you leaning on something, as if bored or tired? Are
you unable to shake hands because you're juggling a plateful of food?
Incidentally, never load your plate so much as to repel people!
Remember: you are there to attract not repel! Aah! Never eat with your
hands in such functions( how the hell are you then going to shake
hands?). 4. Facial expressions. Maintaining an interested facial
expression goes hand in hand with maintaining eye contact. Are you
smiling, or holding back a yawn? Are you showing interest? What does
your face say? It should go without saying that yawning while someone
is talking to you is a best way to shut them down immediately, yet I
have seen this happen more times than I can count while observing
conversations at networking events. Remember that much of your future
networking success rides on how you come across in that first encounter.
You want people to perceive you as alert, interested, knowledgeable and
trustworthy. Try these two actions in the next few weeks to help
ensure that you are making positive and powerful first impressions:
1. Look in the mirror before leaving the house and ask yourself:
"What message am I sending to people meeting me for the first time? What
opinions will they have of me before I even open my mouth?"
2. Become more aware of your body language by getting feedback. What
are you saying without speaking a word? Before you host your own event,
take a trusted friend with you to a networking function and ask them to
give you honest, direct feedback on your body language. Provide them
with a small checklist of the four factors discussed above and be
prepared for their honest insights.
A little thinking can go a long way to helping you present yourself in
the best way possible and thereby increasing your client base. Base

No S. 14A/ Rule 8D Disallowance For Specific Loans: ITAT Chennai

ACIT vs. Best & Crompton Engineering Ltd (ITAT
Chennai)<http://itatonline.org/archives/?p=7025>

*S. 14A/ Rule 8D: Interest on loans for specific taxable purposes to be
excluded
*

In AY 2009-10, the assessee contended that in computing the disallowance to
be made u/s 14A and Rule 8D(2)(ii), the interest on bank loans and term
loans taken for specific taxable purposes had to be excluded. The AO
rejected the claim though the CIT(A) accepted it. On appeal by the
department to the Tribunal, HELD:

Rule 8D(2)(ii) refers to expenditure by way of interest which is not
directly attributable to any particular income or receipt. If loans have
been sanctioned for specific projects/expansion and have been utilized
towards the same, then obviously they could not have been utilized for
making any investments having tax-free incomes and have to be excluded from
the calculation to determine the disallowance under Rule 8D(2)(ii) (*Champion

Uniform FSI of 3 for all pre-1970 buildings

Uniform FSI of 3 for all pre-1970 buildingsExpress news service : Mumbai, Sat Jul 27 2013, 01:31 hrs SmallLargePrint

Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan approved Friday a uniform FSI of 3 for all cess buildings that came up before 1970. He was under pressure from members of ruling and Opposition parties.

Earlier, pre-1949 buildings in category 'A' enjoyed an FSI of up to 3 but not those in categories 'B' (pre-1959) and 'C' (pre-1969).

Chavan, responding to a debate on Mumbai in the legislative Assembly, also spelled out measures to curb illegal structures.

All 15-metre and above constructions will have to get structural audit reports from registered engineers and submit designs in advance for sanction. BMC officials will monitor the constructions to ensure there are no violations.

Chavan said the ambitious Real Estate Act, which will bring more accountability and transparency in constructions, was pending with President of India. "I am personally purusing it to get the nod," he said.

On Dharavi development, Chavan said, "Work in sector 5 is expected to complete in December."

Slum-dwellers owning houses of less than 200 square feet will be given 300-square-foot dwellings. Those with less than 300 square feet will get 400 square feet but only after paying construction cost for 100 square feet.

Chavan said: "Sixty-four officials have been shortlisted to monitor encroachments. A police squad will also be in place, for which BMC will have to pay. Three police stations will be set up to monitor illegal activities."

Disclose top 10 Income Tax assessees: CIC to I-T department
By PTI | 26 Jul, 2013, 07.31PM IST6 comments |Post a Comment


CIC has directed the I-T department to disclose the list of top 10 I-T assessees among individual, companies and charitable organisations categories.
CIC has directed the I-T department to disclose the list of top 10 I-T assessees among individual, companies and charitable organisations categories.
NEW DELHI: The Central Information Commission has directed the Income Tax department to disclose the list of top 10 Income Tax assessees among individual, companies and charitable organisations categories.

Information Commissioner M L Sharma said the information should be disclosed as it may enthuse and motivate such assessees and others to pay their taxes in an honest and transparent manner.

Rejecting the contention of the Income Tax Department that the information is of third party, held in confidence, and if disclosed might endanger the life and physical safety of the assessee, Sharma said couple of years ago the department felicitated highest income tax payers publicly.

"I am not sure whether this practice is continuing at present or not, but, one thing is clear, disclosure of their names is not likely to adversely affect the Central Revenues. On the other hand, it may enthuse and motivate such assessees and others to pay their taxes in an honest and transparent manner," he said.

He said the exemption clauses cited by the Income Tax department do not hold in the instant matter.

"I see no reason why this information should not be disclosed. Shri Abrol's (Income Tax department representative at the hearing) reliance on this Commission's decision in Raj Kumari Vs Income Tax Department is not of much help to him as the factual matrix of that case is different from the present one," he said.

The Commission also ordered disclosure of top income tax defaulters - an information which is already in the public domain - while hearing the petition filed by S C Agrawal.
