This will further ensure substantial flow of foreign capital which in turn would lend stability to the currency.

Vice-President’s CommuniquéDear Members,

To err is human, but not if you are an honest taxpaying assessee.

The Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitley presented the eagerly awaited Budget for the year 2016-17. The entire world was keen to know how the FM was to balance the GDP growth vis-a-vis the deficit target. The industry icons have lapped up the budget by praising the FM on sticking to the fiscal deficit target of 3.5%. As has been a highlight of each budget, this year also a lot of schemes (“Yojanas”) have been planned. However, to make an impact, the FM presented a more structured form by focusing on “Transform India” and building its budget proposals on this transformative agenda with nine distinct pillars. These nine distinct pillars can be categorized into three cornerstones of the budget, viz:

(a) Consumption Orientation:

This has been done through putting more funds in the hands of rural population through various schemes, thereby providing thrust for their spending.

(b) Fiscal Discipline:

Best thing to happen in this budget is sticking to the fiscal deficit target. This will ensure possible upgradation of India’s rating by international rating agencies. This will further ensure substantial flow of foreign capital which in turn would lend stability to the currency.

(c) Growth Measures:

Steps towards increased spending on infrastructure through fund allocation for roads, new ports, connectivity of roads / railways to ports. This will release the supply side bottlenecks in the economy, thereby creating efficiencies in the system leading to substantial savings in logistic costs.

The tax proposals fall into nine distinct categories, and there has been a conscious attempt to bring more objectivity to the tax laws, more clarity and reduce litigation. However, this finance bill is going to be hard to digest with a record 100 plus amendments in Direct taxes, some of which are substantive and far-reaching.

The Foreign Investors continue to get red carpet treatment with proposals to open up new avenues to overseas investors and also to accord them residency status.

For the very first time, we heard the FM propose about “accountability” of the assessing officer, and I started to cheer this small initiative.

a matter of time when this levy gets extended to more services, including software services, in future. Another recommendation implemented is from a Transfer Pricing regulations perspective of introduction of country-by-country reporting norms for TP Documentation. I am sure many such important recommendations will find its way in the Indian tax system.

The flavor has been to tax the rich and give relief to the poor (media tagging it as “Robin hood”). But the hardest hitting is the triple taxation of dividends and increase in the surcharge. The usual excitement surrounding any Amnesty Scheme is surprisingly missing considering the dampener of the One-time compliance scheme under Black Money Act. The honest taxpayer always wonders - is he always the scapegoat for his loyalty to dispose of his tax obligations diligently. By making the Income Declaration Scheme part of the Direct Tax proposals and imposing a penalty, the FM has smartly tried to maneuver any opposition, but I am not sure whether the scheme will remain unchallenged. I am reminded of the following quote of revered Shri Nani Palkhivala:

“In trying to achieve the objective of leveling of income, our annual budgets merely succeed in widening the gulf between the dishonest rich and the poor, and narrowing the gap between the honest rich and the poor.” – Nani Palkhivala.

PM Modi had set very high expectations for start-ups in his January speech, however not much has been done for giving a real kick start to start-ups in this budget. On the lighter side, there is a joke circulating on Whatsapp “Budget ne Ghalib nikamma kar diya, Ab toh start-up kholne mein bhi log reservation mangenge”.The common man wanted to see some radical changes in this budget especially with the “ease of doing business”, but this is conspicuously absent. All in all, a budget with hits and misses.

Eminent Senior Advocate, Mr. S. E. Dastur delivered his 28th Budget Speech from the BCAS forum, analyzing the direct tax provisions and bringing out the devil in the fine print. The 3,000 plus audience and thousands viewing from the “live streaming” facility provided by the Society, were mesmerized with his inimitable style of presentation and his skill of detailing.

This is the 23rd year of publication of the BCAS, much sought after, budget booklet. The booklet is an analysis of the Important Amendments and helps the readers to understand the amendments in clear and succinct manner. The Gujarati translation of the booklet is also very much in demand. I sincerely thank the various contributors to spare their valuable time in bringing out the publication in record time of 3 days from the budget and also maintaining its high quality of analysis.

This year the Society has decided to announce pre-release booking of the BCAS Referencer. The much coveted Referencer is a “must have” on any professional’s desk, a single, compact and handy compilation from the best in the profession. Truly a treasure trove of information on a vast gamut of subjects viz.; Direct Tax, Company Law, Indirect Tax, Audit, and Compliance, etc. I request you all to pre-book your copy today and avail the concessional rates.

Holi marks the start of spring, and for many the start of the New Year. Wishing the members a happy, colourful and joyous Holi!

Warm Regards,

Chetan Shah

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:With new advancements in technology and the rise in cyber crime, Management and Auditors need to be more diligent than ever in their efforts to avoid and identify all forms of fraud. The Companies Act, 2013 has paved the way for a changing role of the auditor, placed onerous responsibility on the Company Management and created vast professional opportunity for those practicing in the field of Fraud Prevention, Detection and Investigation.

Executing a cost-effective and value-added audit requires an understanding of population analysis. Without this knowledge, auditors run the risk of spreading the resources and sampling over low risk subsets of the population. This could result in crucial data not being audited. The workshop shall demonstrate how to use pivot tables and other audit tools to identify subsets of the population that behave differently from a benchmark data set.

Leading & Co-creating across Generations– Art of Relationships & Influencing

Context:

With60percentof India’spopulationbelow35yearsofage, India istheyoungestnation intheworldandexpected to grow younger. This poses both an opportunity and a challenge for people in all age groups. Today’syoungstershavenever known theworldwithout the internet. Thisgeneration isgrowingupwiththeirparentsrequiringtotreatthemasfriendsandlearntogetherwiththemastheydon’trespondtotop-down command and control approach. The youth have very different expectations from life, jobs and money and have a drastically different outlook from the generations before who are used to a more traditional hierarchy of large corporate firms and long stable careers. While the generational differences have always posed challenges, it has accentuated in the recent times with sharper differences in attitudes, values, beliefs and motivations. These differences easily lead to misunderstanding, miscommunication and even outright conflict in the workplace or at home. In this backdrop, it becomes very important, for the Seniors as well as the Youngsters, to learn some of the myths, realities and evolving norms surrounding this emerging inter-generation issues and learn the art of influencing and building relationships across generations.

The BCAS Leadership Camp 2016 has been conceptualized to help the participants:

•Understandwhatitmeanstobehumanandappreciatesimilaritiesanddifferencesbetweengenerations – in attitudes, feelings, behavior- and connect with the heart of it all.

CONTENT:

To be able to lead across generations in the current times, is to learn the art of building healthy relationships.

To be able to co-create.The act of Influencing is essentially the art of Inspiring.And that requires us to listen deeply to ourselves, to the other and to life itself.

We will work at 4 levels in this retreat:

1. The Mind of Co-creative Leadership (Thinking):Attitudes and mindsets that bring true power and receptivity, Understanding Response-ability, freedom, deep acceptance, positive intention and the network reality- different from a hierarchical story of the past.

2. The Heart of Co-creation (Feeling):This is the domain of feelings – how to deal with anger, fear, sadness which derail healthy relationships and how to build the skills of deep listening, authentic speaking, enabling wonder and silence- the essence of dialogue and influencing.

3. The Body of Leadership (Action) :This has to do with awakening the connection with body and breath, with an intelligence to act from a place of clarity. This also has to do with understanding the tangible world of time and space. And how it relates to the intangible.

And

4. The Spirit of Co-creative Leadership (Being):At the core of each of us is a greatness that lies beyond effectiveness, a power that is very different from force, a beauty and a love that everything springs from. How do we connect with that truth of our being? How may we connect with Source & Presence from which effortless ease flows.

PROCESS :

We will be using a variety of experiential and interactive methodologies that make learning come alive. A safe space will be created for us to share deeply and look within with honesty and care. A combination of Energizers, Role Plays, Open Space, deep dialogue and whole body breath and movement will make the methodology of the gathering.
