India’s development story is work-in-progress, says PM
< The Commission, Singh said, needs to evaluate its approach to problems and challenges in the evolving economic scenario.




Expressing satisfaction over the working of the Planning Commission during the UPA’s 10-year rule, Singh hoped that it would “subject itself to a critical review and continue to play a leading role in the policy debate in government and in the development of our nation”.


The Prime Minister said that the total gross budgetary support (resources for Central and State plans) in 2004-05 was ₹1.32-lakh crore and in the current year it is expected to be around ₹5.5-lakh crore.
“I sometimes wonder at this massive expansion in resources and the impact that this could have if used efficiently,” he said.

<> Is 'somersault' (or 'summersault') the right word to describe the new found official expression of introspection/realization, though belated, of the realities all around. One cannot help taking the opportunity to loudly wonder, even at this late hour,- whether Mr M Singh, recognized and commended years ago by a great visionary as a 'technocrat' ,would have proved his mettle had he been given a recurrent role, fittingly of FM, not as PM. by eventually churning out an altogether different but palatable story !

<><> To recall with nostalgia- 'nani' speaking on the Budget 93-94, said of Mr Singh:
"..is not a politician but a technocrat. He has introduced a Budget which a mere poiltician would have thought possible only through witchcraft or fraud, to use the words of The Economist."

In a lighter vein, nani said,- English has not been kind to Congress, - quipping on the two words with opp. meaning, "PROgress" and "CONgress".

 Retrospective Tax Legislation and 'Small Repairs'

 OFFHAND
Q
But the case importantly "illustrates that retrospectivity alone is not enough: much depends on exactly what the position was before the law was amended and whether a reasonable taxpayer would have thought that tax was not payable." UQ
To supplement, with thoughts on some more interestingly inter-related or - connected aspects/concepts:
 
In one's perspective, the concept of 'retrospectivity' implies 'retroACTIVITY' (-activating); hence has tagged on to it the inherent but inescapable impediment, more often than not confronted with is as how best to give effect to anything which is such a change in law brought about. That mostly depends and is entirely left to be taken care by the so called 'machinery' provisions - in short,such as secs 147,154,263,251, 254.
A brief study attempted on the mentioned area riddled with irresolute complexity is covered in, among others, the published article,-"INCOME-TAX ACT:RETROSPECTIVE AMENDMENTS (OF WHAT CONSEQUENCE ?) - (2005) 3 Comp. L J (pg. 24)

Why Tax Practitioners Bill Required For India?

In an attempt to provoke useful thoughts and stimulate appreciation of the validity of the suggestion to the Revenue volunteered in the last post, to the end of an early resolution, the following observations may be added:

As per information gathered from known sources, and piecing those together, the reality of the current scenario, as inferred, is this: Even in cases in which taxpayers have not failed but taken care to report correctly the address, if that has since changed, in the tax return subsequently filed, there is still a mismatch; in that, both 26AS and the certificates of TDS later issued by deductors still continue to disclose not such changed address but some old address. If probed into, the strong indication is that the old address so reflected is the one as shown in the tax return (s) filed in order or about the time when the CPC came to be setup and started functioning. That is the time when the respective AOs uploaded in the system, besides the other data, also the address, per tax return (s) lately filed. In other words, the mismatch has nothing to do with the address in taxpayer’s application for allotment of PAN, if made, before the set up of CPC (i.e prior to 2009/2010).
Others faced with and happen to have realized a similar predicament are requested to share own individual experience, for the benefit of one and all equally concerned.

Caught between the law and the rules
Wheels within wheels And the bureaucracy is making it worse. PETER HERMES
FURIAN / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, charged with framing the Rules of the new Companies Act, may have exceeded its brief
The apprehension that the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) would misuse its rule-making... »
>> "The point is whether the MCA can make amendments to the provisions of the Companies Act. .."
Of course, not; as MCA has no such power, as feared. to amend, particularly in material terms, any provision of the Act ; as well settled by case law, cannot frame any rule to counter or inconsistent with, or in derogation of, what the Act specifically says. The point of concern, if at all is, whether, as has happened often in the past e.g. under the law on income-tax, MCA would, in the guise of rule making, act in excess of its vested powers, which no one can assure; but If so done, unsavory controversies and mind- , end- ,less litigation might become inevitable, and quite likely to ensue.

A typical poser from a lawyer to Expets' ! >

 Inquiry - by Amit Maheshwari

hello to all Respected Experts . I am Amit Maheshwari (Advocate) and need some suggestions on this matter .
A property was attached by Income tax Dept. due to outstanding of Income tax . In this property a Trust was Decreed by court to register 65% property in his favor . now the ratio is 65% in favor of trust and 35% is in favor of Income Tax Department . And this is Undivided portion between both parties . About 7-8 years ago a land scam-er has taken Possession of 3 go-downs in said property by illegal way . After this he (land scam-er) given these go-downs on rent to unauthorized tenants by a Agreement of on 100 rs. stamp convincing them that he is the owner of the said go-down . I got a photo state copy of Agreement from one tenant . In this Agreement land scam-er says that he is owner of this go-down and rent is rs. 5000/- per month starting from 1 Aug 2008 . I send many letters to IT dept. but they are not taking any action about the confusing for their portion which is undivided . And Trust is also not taking any action for family feud . I want to know for my knowledge Is it allow under sec 39 or 154 Cr.p.c. any other person who is not concerned about the said property but as a responsible citizen can he lodge a complain about this crime or is there any other provision for lodging complain about this matter in law .

If read with the least complicated sensible approach, this one sees to make for a comedy of views and counter-views; in the least, in any case, making (not even) an iota of difference to a commoner, or to the society at large. To put it with a different stroke, at best such reports do not count (or 'contribute' anything); if at all, except for its 'sensational' flavor or hilarious touch given, as often, by TOI.
