New RBI norms: Uni-State UCBs can convertto multi-State UCBs via amalgamation

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


A uni-State Urban Co-operative Bank (UCB) can metamorphose into a multi-State UCB through amalgamation with a uni-State bank registered in another State, going by the Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines on amalgamation of two or more UCBs.

Freedom from interference

What this means is that a UCB can get freedom from interference in their functioning by the State Registrar of Co-operative Societies (RCS) and come under the benign influence of the Central RCS via the aforementioned amalgamation route.

While a uni-State UCB is a bank registered as a Society in a single State, a multi-State UCB is registered with the Central RCS (CRCS) under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act.

Referring to the RBI’s Master Direction on ‘Amalgamation of Urban Cooperative Banks’, Co-operative Banking expert Krishna Damarla said: “Two well-managed uni-State UCBs from two States can get amalgamated into one multi-State UCB and get out of the clutches of State Registrars to come under more benign regulations (as applicable to multi-state co-operative societies) of CRCS.”

Damarla observed that uni-State UCBs in contiguous States such as Maharashtra and Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka could explore amalgamation possibilities.

A State’s RCS exercises control and regulation of UCBs as co-operative societies. The RBI exercises control and regulation of UCBs on their function as a bank.

Through its auditors, RCS examines UCBs overdue debts; does valuation of assets and liabilities; ensures observance of the provisions of the State Co-operative Act, Rules and Byelaws; and award audit classification to the society, among others.

As per the ‘Amalgamation of Urban Cooperative Banks, Directions, 2020’, the RBI may consider proposals for merger and amalgamation among UCBs under three circumstances, including when the net worth of the amalgamated bank (the UCB which proposes to transfer its business to another UCB) is positive and the amalgamating bank (the UCB which is to acquire the business of the amalgamated bank) assures to protect entire deposits of all depositors of the amalgamated bank.

The second circumstance for considering proposals are when the net worth of amalgamated bank is negative, and the amalgamating bank on its own assures to protect deposits of all the depositors of the amalgamated bank.

The third circumstance is when the net worth of the amalgamated bank is negative, and the amalgamating bank assures to protect the deposits of the depositors of the amalgamated bank with the financial support from the State government extended upfront as part of the process of merger.

Among the incentives that the RBI is offering for consolidation among UCBs include not insisting on minimum entry point capital prescribed for multi-State UCBs in case the amalgamating UCB becomes a multi-State UCB, only on account of the amalgamated UCB being registered in a different State; and permission to the amalgamating UCB to close down the loss-making branches of the amalgamated UCB or merging branches of the amalgamated UCB with its own.

From April 1, You Need To Make All Such Disclosures In ITR

[ad_1]

Beginning April 1, if you have been trading in shares or have substantial dividend income then you no longer can hide this information from the tax department. This is because from the new financial year 2021-22, the taxmann will also get information pertaining to your share trading, transactions in mutual funds, dividend income and post office deposits or deposits with the NBFC. Further such information will also be shown in the new Form 26AS.

From April 1, You Need To Make All Such Disclosures In ITR

From April 1, You Need To Make All Such Disclosures In ITR

Until now, taxpayers had been hiding such information on share trading or mutual fund transactions either due to ignorance or to get away with the hassle of computing capital gain or loss on such transactions for the financial year or in order to avoid filing a more complicated return as against ITR 1 or simply to reduce their tax-outgo.

Now the IT department will source all the relevant information direct from your brokerage house, AMC, post office, so it will be difficult for assessees to hide such income source and investments.

What has changed in the Union Budget 2021?

In the Budget 2021 announcement finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that ITR forms will henceforth come pre-filled with information including capital gains from listed shares, dividend income, interest income from post office, banks etc. in order to simplify the process of ITR filing. Though till now, taxpayers were able to auto-populate basic details including name, address, PAN, bank details, tax payment, TDS etc.

Further, to implement the proposal, on March 12, 2021, the CBDT came up with the notification which said that a particular category of persons required to furnish SFT or statement of financial transaction under section 285BA of the Income Tax Act and should include information related to capital gains of sale of listed shares or mutual fund units, dividend income together with interest income. And the category of persons defined as per the release are recognised Stock Exchange such as BSE, NSE, depositories, clearing corporation, registrar, share transfer agents, companies distributing dividend, banking companies or a co-operative bank covered under the banking laws, Post Master General defined under the Indian Post Office Act, 1898 and NBFCs.

And so as the AIS or Annual information statement will have extensive data, taxpayer need to show all such details including salary, interest income, dividend, capital gains from mutual funds and shares in his or her ITR, else severe penalty consequences shall arise.

Over the last three years, HDFC Pension Fund Scheme has been the top performer among National Pension System (NPS) funds in the corporate debt funds category. HDFC Pension Fund Scheme is a pension fund managed by HDFC. Over the last three years, it has delivered an annual return of 10.09 percent, outperformed other high-rated Debt Corporate Bonds. According to NPS trust, other pension fund managers’ Schemes C (corporate debt) performed well as well, with high returns up to 10.09 percent over the same period. They outperformed their corporate bond mutual fund peers, which returned 8.68 percent on average.

HDFC Pension Fund Scheme was followed by SBI Pension Funds with a three-year return of 9.92 percent, and LIC Pension Fund, with a return of 9.86 percent, came in second and third, respectively. The least outstanding scheme in this category was Kotak Pension Fund, which has a three-year yield of 8.46 percent.

ICICI Prudential Pension Fund and SBI Pension Fund came in second and third, respectively, with 9.44 percent and 9.44 percent returns.

The Government’s plan to privatise two public lenders could lead to a material negative migration of long-term issuer ratings, as well as ratings on Tier-II instruments of the banks, specifically amongst the weaker non-consolidated ones, said India Ratings (Ind-Ra). The ratings agency said the government’s outline of privatising, rather than divesting, could translate to ceding both the majority shareholding as well as control over the banks – which have not been formally identified yet.

“The agency believes ceding of control should make the proposal attractive for potential investors and may make it more viable to attract a large quantum of capital that this exercise may require,” said Ind-Ra in its assessment.

The ratings agency said it had a long-term issuer rating floor of IND AA, for government majority owned banks, which factored along timely government intervention and thus, minimal default probability. Hybrid instruments, such as AT-1 instruments, were rated on their standalone profiles – which factored in ordinary support from the government, largely due to the terms of Hybrid instruments which could prevent government support. “Ind-Ra’s rating of AT1 instruments for weaker government banks could be multiple notches below the long-term issuer rating, factoring the inherent weakness of the institutions along with discretionary nature of the security which could impact its ability to service the instrument,” noted the agency.

Ind-Ra, citing the example of IDBI Bank, the only lender the government has thus far ceded majority control in, said it would as per its criteria place the ratings on a rating watch, and accordingly take rating calls based on the ‘final contours’ of the transaction.
