Deferred Tax Asset and Deferred Tax Liability

Introduction AS 22 Accounting for Taxes on Income
Accounting Standard 22 has been prescribed by ICAI to be applied in accounting for taxes on income. This AS is applied to match the differences between accounting income and taxable income.
I. Accounting income is the net profit before tax for a period, as reported in profit and loss statement
II. Taxable income is the income on which income tax is payable, computed by applying provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 & Rules

Why will difference appear

There can be differences between accounting income and taxable income because of the following few reasons :
  • Expenses debited in profit and loss statement but disallowed as per Income-Tax Act 1961 while computing taxable income
  • Provision for Bad/doubtful debts allowed while computing accounting income but disallowed while computing taxable income
  • Charging depreciation using different rates as per Companies Act 2013 and Income Tax Act 1961
  • Any income recognized on accrual basis in profit and loss statement but recognized on receipt basis in subsequent period for computing taxable income
In order to mitigate these kinds of differences, AS 22 needs to be applied.
The differences can be of two types:
1. Timing difference: Timing differences are those differences between accounting income and taxable income which can be reversed in one or more subsequent periods. For example, Depreciation allowed as per WDV method for computing taxable income and as per SLM method for computing accounting income.
2. Permanent difference: Permanent differences are those differences between accounting income and taxable income which cannot be reversed any subsequent period. For example, Donation paid in cash is disallowed in computing taxable income whereas it is allowed as expenditure while computing accounting income.



When to apply AS 22 Accounting for Taxes on Income

AS 22 needs to be applied when there is the difference between taxable income and accounting income. If taxable income is greater than accounting income then it will result in deferred tax asset and if accounting income is greater than taxable income then it will result in deferred tax liability.
When the difference is resulting in deferred tax asset then it should be recognized only when there is a reasonable certainty of its realization. The recognition of deferred tax asset should be to the extent of the reasonable certainty of the expected realization. The reasonable certainty can be determined by making the realistic estimates of future profits based on the examination of profits and loss statement of earlier periods.
When an entity has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses then in such a case deferred tax asset should be recognized to the extent there is a virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence. Virtual certainty is a matter of judgment of convincing evidence, which should be available in a concrete form at a particular date.

Comparison between AS 22 and IND AS 12

Basis
AS 22 Accounting for Taxes on IncomeIND AS 12 (Income taxes)
Recognition
AS 22 recognized tax effect of differences between taxable income and accounting income.     IND AS 12 recognized tax effect of differences between assets and/or liabilities and their tax base.
Approach
AS 22 is based on profit or loss statement approach.IND AS 12 is based on balance sheet approach.
Differences
The types of differences on which AS 22 is applied are timing differences and permanent differences.The types of differences on which IND AS 12 is applied are taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences. Permanent differences are not dealt in by this standard.
Recognition of Deferred tax asset/deductible temporary differences
DTA is recognized only when and to the extent there is a reasonable certainty of its realizationDeductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent of the probability of taxable profits in future periods.
Disclosure
AS 22 deals with the disclosure of DTA/DTL in the balance sheet.IND AS 12 deals with the recognition of current or deferred tax as income or expense in profit and loss statement. It also deals with the disclosure of out of profit and loss transaction in the balance sheet as current or non-current assets/liability.
Revaluation of assets
AS 22 does not cover the difference arising between taxable income and accounting income due to the revaluation of assets.IND AS 12 deals with the difference between carrying the amount of revalued asset and its tax base.
Goodwill
AS 22 does not cover the difference arising due to goodwill arising a business combination.As per IND AS 12, the difference between carrying the amount of goodwill and its tax base (which will be NIL) is the taxable temporary difference. It does not allow the recognition of such difference because goodwill is measured as a residual and its recognition would increase the carrying amount of goodwill.
The concept of virtual certainty
When an entity has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses then in such a case deferred tax asset should be to the extent there is a virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence.There is no concept of virtual certainty in IND AS 12. Deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent of the probability of taxable profits in future periods.
Tax holiday
AS 22 specifically provides guidance regarding recognition of deferred tax in the situations of Tax Holiday under Sections 80-IA, 80-IB, 10A and 10B of Income-tax Act.IND AS 12 does not specifically deal with the situations of the tax holiday.
Capital Loss
AS 22 provides guidance regarding recognition of DTA in case of loss under the head of ‘capital gains’IND AS 12 does not specifically provide for the same.

IFRIC 23

IFRIC 23 also provides for Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. It requires an entity to treat uncertain tax treatments depending on which method will be best suited for its resolution. The major difference between AS 22 and IFRIC 23 is that IFRIC 23 requires an entity, while determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, to make an assessment whether it is probable that taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If it is not probable, then entity should reflect that uncertainty through either expected value approach or most likely approach.
IFRIC 23 will be applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01.01.2019.

Right To Information Act 2005 And Public Records Act 1993



Right To Information Act 2005 And Public Records Act 1993



The Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act, 2005) has provided for certain obligations that every “Public Authority” is required to fulfill. All Government Departments, including NAI, are Public Authorities within the meaning of Section 2(h) of the RTI Act, 2005.

Section 2(h) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that “Public Authority” means any authority or body or institution of self-government established or constituted- (a) by or under the Constitution; (b) by any other law made by Parliament; (c) by any other law made by State Legislature; (d) by notification issued or order made by the appropriate Government, and includes any- (i) body owned, controlled or substantially financed or (ii) non-Government organisation substantially financed, directly or indirectly by funds provided by the appropriate Government.

This “Research Report” briefly outlines those responsibilities of NAI vis-à vis RTI Act, 2005.

Section 2 of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that unless the context otherwise requires-

(i) “Information” means any material in any form, including records, documents, memos, e-mails, opinions, advices, press releases, circulars, orders, logbooks, contracts, reports, papers, samples, models, data material held in any electronic form and information relating to any private body which can be accessed by a public authority under any other law for the time being in force.

NAI would be required to provide “Information” to the information seekers who have made an RTI Application.

(ii) “Record” includes-

(a) Any document, manuscript and file;
(b) Any microfilm, microfiche and facsimile copy of a document;
(c) Any reproduction of image or images embodied in such microfilm (whether enlarged or not); and
(d) Any other material produced by a computer or any other device.

The definition of “Public Records” U/S 2(e) of Public Records Act, 1993 (PRA 1993) is almost identical with the definition of Records under the RTI Act 2005. These Records can be sough under the RTI Act, 2005 as “Information” through RTI Application.

(iii) “Right to information” means the right to information accessible under this Act which is held by or under the control of any public authority and includes the right to-

(i) Inspection of work, documents, records;
(ii) Taking notes, extracts or certified copies of documents or records;
(iii) Taking certified samples of material;
(iv) Obtaining information in the form of diskettes, floppies, tapes, video cassettes or in any other electronic mode or through printouts where such information is stored in a computer or in any other device.

(iv) “Third party” means a person other than the citizen making a request for information and includes a public authority.

Section 3 of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that subject to the provisions of this Act, all citizens shall have the right to information.

Section 4(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that every public authority shall-

(a) Maintain all its records duly catalogued and indexed in a manner and the form which facilitates the right to information under this Act and ensure that all records that are appropriate to be computerised are, within a reasonable time and subject to availability of resources, computerised and connected through a network all over the country on different systems so that access to such records is facilitated;

With laws like the proposed Electronic Services Delivery Bill, 2011 the requirements to computerise Records and Public Records of NAI would become almost mandatory. We at Perry4Law and Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) strongly recommend initiation of Digitilisation and Digital Preservation Initiatives by NAI as soon as possible.

The provisions of Information Technology Act, 2000 would also apply to the initiatives of NAI. Further, provisions regarding Digitilisation and Digital Preservation must be incorporated in the proposed Amendments in the Public Records Act, 1993 itself.

(b) Publish within one hundred and twenty days from the enactment of this Act,-

(i) The particulars of its organisation, functions and duties;
(ii) The powers and duties of its officers and employees;
(iii) The procedure followed in the decision making process, including channels of supervision and accountability;
(iv) The norms set by it for the discharge of its functions;
(v) The rules, regulations, instructions, manuals and records, held by it or under its control or used by its employees for discharging its functions;
(vi) A statement of the categories of documents that are held by it or under its control;
(vii) The particulars of any arrangement that exists for consultation with, or representation by, the members of the public in relation to the formulation of its policy or implementation thereof;
(viii) A statement of the boards, councils, committees and other bodies consisting of two or more persons constituted as its part or for the purpose of its advice, and as to whether meetings of those boards, councils, committees and other bodies are open to the public, or the minutes of such meetings are accessible for public;
(ix) A directory of its officers and employees;
(x) The monthly remuneration received by each of its officers and employees, including the system of compensation as provided in its regulations;
(xi) The budget allocated to each of its agency, indicating the particulars of all plans, proposed expenditures and reports on disbursements made;
(xii) The manner of execution of subsidy programmes, including the amounts allocated and the details of beneficiaries of such programmes;
(xiii) Particulars of recipients of concessions, permits or authorisations granted by it;
(xiv) Details in respect of the information, available to or held by it, reduced in an electronic form;
(xv) The particulars of facilities available to citizens for obtaining information, including the working hours of a library or reading room, if maintained for public use;
(xvi) The names, designations and other particulars of the Public Information Officers;
(xvii) Such other information as may be prescribed; and thereafter update these publications every year.

These are very wide mandates especially the one created by clause (xiv) that requires NAI to provide details in respect of the information, available to or held by it, and reduced in an electronic form.

(c) Publish all relevant facts while formulating important policies or announcing the decisions which affect public;

(d) Provide reasons for its administrative or quasi-judicial decisions to affected persons. Section 4(2) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that it shall be a constant endeavour of every public authority to take steps in accordance with the requirements of clause (b) of sub section (1) to provide as much information suo motu to the public at regular intervals through various means of communications, including internet, so that the public have minimum resort to the use of this Act to obtain information.

Again the desirability to adopt Digitilisation of Records and Public records by NAI is clear from Section 4(2) of RTI Act, 2005.

Section 4(3) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that for the purposes of sub-section (1), every information shall be disseminated widely and in such form and manner which is easily accessible to the public.

Section 4(4) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that all materials shall be disseminated taking into consideration the cost effectiveness, local language and the most effective method of communication in that local area and the information should be easily accessible, to the extent possible in electronic format with the Central Public Information Officer or State
Public Information Officer, as the case may be, available free or at such cost of the medium or the print cost price as may be prescribed.

The Explanation to Section 4 of RTI Act, 2005 provides that for the purposes of subsections (3) and (4), “disseminated” means making known or communicated the information to the public through notice boards, newspapers, public announcements, media broadcasts, the internet or any other means, including inspection of offices of any public authority.

Section 6 (1) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that a person, who desires to obtain any information under this Act, shall make a request in writing or through electronic means in
English or Hindi or in the official language of the area in which the application is being made, accompanying such fee as may be prescribed, to the appropriate officer.

An RTI Application can also be made through E-Mail, Fax or any other Electronic means. Thus, NAI must keep in place a “System” and “Procedure” for dealing with Electronic Records and Electronic RTI Applications.

Section 8 (1) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, there shall be no obligation to give any citizen,-

(a) Information, disclosure of which would prejudicially affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security, strategic, scientific or economic interests of the State, relation with foreign State or lead to incitement of an offence;
(b) Information which has been expressly forbidden to be published by any court of law or tribunal or the disclosure of which may constitute contempt of court;
(c) Information, the disclosure of which would cause a breach of privilege of Parliament or the State Legislature;
(d) Information including commercial confidence, trade secrets or intellectual property, the disclosure of which would harm the competitive position of a third party, unless the competent authority is satisfied that larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information;
(e) Information available to a person in his fiduciary relationship, unless the competent authority is satisfied that the larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information;
(f) Information received in confidence from foreign Government;
(g) Information, the disclosure of which would endanger the life or physical safety of any person or identify the source of information or assistance given in confidence for law enforcement or security purposes;
(h) Information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders;
(i) Cabinet papers including records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, Secretaries and other officers:

Provided that the decisions of Council of Ministers, the reasons thereof, and the material on the basis of which the decisions were taken shall be made public after the decision has been taken, and the matter is complete, or over:

Provided further that those matters which come under the exemptions specified in this section shall not be disclosed;

(j) Information which relates to personal information the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual unless the Central Public Information Officer or the State
Public Information Officer or the appellate authority, as the case may be, is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the disclosure of such information:

Provided that the information which cannot be denied to the Parliament or a State Legislature shall not be denied to any person.

Section 8(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 outlines the “Grounds” on which NAI can “Refuse” to give Information about Records and Public Records to an RTI Applicant. By virtue of Section 22 of the RTI Act, 2005, these are the “Only Grounds” subject to which NAI can refuse information to RTI Applicants.

The grounds mentioned in the Public Records Act, 1993 would no more be relevant after the passing of the RTI Act, 2005. The proposed amendments in the Public Records Act, 1993 must add the “Grounds and Exemptions” that NAI wishes to add in addition to the one mentioned by RTI Act, 2005.

Section 8 (2) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that notwithstanding anything in the Official Secrets Act, 1923 nor any of the exemptions permissible in accordance with sub-section (1), a public authority may allow access to information, if public interest in disclosure outweighs the harm to the protected interests.

Section 8 (3) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that subject to the provisions of clauses (a), (c) and (i) of sub-section (1), any information relating to any occurrence, event or matter which has taken place, occurred or happened twenty years before the date on which any request is made under Section 6 shall be provided to any person making a request under that section:

Provided that where any question arises as to the date from which the said period of twenty years has to be computed, the decision of the Central Government shall be final, subject to the usual appeals provided for in this Act.

The 20 years period is in conformity with the proposed amendments suggested by the Consultation Committee of NAI formulated to suggest Amendments in the PRA 1993.

Section 9 of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that without prejudice to the provisions of section 8, a Central Public Information Officer or a State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, may reject a request for information where such a request for providing access would involve an infringement of Copyright subsisting in a person other than the State.

Section 10(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that where a request for access to information is rejected on the ground that it is in relation to information which is exempt from disclosure, then, notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, access may be provided to that part of the record which does not contain any information which is exempt from disclosure under this Act and which can reasonably be severed from any part that contains exempt information.

NAI can provide “Partial Access” to its Records and Public Records.

Section 10 (2) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that where access is granted to a part of the record under sub-section (1), the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall give a notice to the applicant, informing-

(a) That only part of the record requested, after severance of the record containing information which is exempt from disclosure, is being provided;
(b) The reasons for the decision, including any findings on any material question of fact, referring to the material on which those findings were based;
(c) The name and designation of the person giving the decision;
(d) The details of the fees calculated by him or her and the amount of fee which the applicant is required to deposit; and
(e) His or her rights with respect to review of the decision regarding non-disclosure of part of the information, the amount of fee charged or the form of access provided, including the particulars of the senior officer specified under sub-section (1) of section 19 or the Central Information Commission or the State Information Commission, as the case may be, time limit, process and any other form of access.

Section 11(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that where a Central Public Information Officer or a State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, intends to disclose any information or record, or part thereof on a request made under this Act, which relates to or has been supplied by a third party and has been treated as confidential by that third party, the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall, within five days from the receipt of the request, give a written notice to such third party of the request and of the fact that the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, intends to disclose the information or record, or part thereof, and invite the third party to make a submission in writing or orally, regarding whether the information should be disclosed, and such submission of the third party shall be kept in view while taking a decision about disclosure of information:

Provided that except in the case of trade or commercial secrets protected by law, disclosure may be allowed if the public interest in disclosure outweighs in importance any possible harm or injury to the interests of such third party.

NAI receives many Archives, Records, Books, etc by way of Gifts and otherwise by Third Parties. Such Records, etc must be given subject to the provisions of this Clause or to the Terms and Conditions subject to which they have been given to the NAI by such Third Parties. .

Section 11(2) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that where a notice is served by the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, under sub-section (1) to a third party in respect of any information or record or part thereof, the third party shall, within ten days from the date of receipt of such notice, be given the opportunity to make representation against the proposed disclosure.

Section 11(3) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7, the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall, within forty days after receipt of the request under Section 6, if the third party has been given an opportunity to make representation under sub-section (2), make a decision as to whether or not to disclose the information or record or part thereof and give in writing the notice of his decision to the third party.

Section 11(4) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that a notice given under sub-section (3) shall include a statement that the third party to whom the notice is given is entitled to prefer an appeal under section 19 against the decision.

Third Party Relationships of NAI must be suitably regulated. A sound and practical Procedure or Guidelines in this regard is desirable on the part of NAI.

Section 22 of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that the provisions of this Act shall have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in the Official Secrets Act, 1923, and any other law for the time being in force or in any instrument having effect by virtue of any law other than this Act.

The RTI Act, 2005 would “Override” the provisions of Public Records Act, 1993 and its Rules by virtue of this section.

Section 24 (1) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that nothing contained in this Act shall apply to the intelligence and security organisations specified in the Second Schedule, being organisations established by the Central Government or any information furnished by such organisations to that Government:

Provided that the information pertaining to the allegations of corruption and human rights violations shall not be excluded under this sub-section:

Provided further that in the case of information sought for is in respect of allegations of violation of human rights, the information shall only be provided after the approval of the Central Information Commission, and notwithstanding anything contained in section 7, such information shall be provided within forty-five days from the date of the receipt of request.

Section 24 (2) of the RTI Act, 2005 provides that the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, amend the Schedule by including therein any other intelligence or security organisation established by that Government or omitting therefrom any organisation already specified therein and on the publication of such notification, such organisation shall be deemed to be included in or, as the case may be, omitted from the Schedule

Sole , Multiple Banking Arrangement, Consortium Lending, Syndication

Sole Banking Arrangement: Sole banking arrangement is a lending by single bank to a large borrower, subject to the resources available with it and limited to the exposure limits imposed by the Reserve Bank of India. Many a times when you propose to approach to new bank for funding, they propose for sole banking that their complete banking should be transferred to their bank. This is done for two reasons one is to get complete business and second is very important is having complete monitoring of fund flow and cash flow of the firm.

 Multiple Banking Arrangement, Consortium Lending, Syndication: Multiple Banking: When the credit requirements of a borrower are beyond the capacity of a single bank or that the bank does not want to take more exposure on a particular borrower, he may then resort to multiple banking. It is an arrangement where a borrower borrows simultaneously from more than one bank independent of each other, under separate loan documents with each bank. Securities are charged to each bank separately. Remember, this is different from Consortium and Syndication

Consortium lending
Consortium lending also called joint financing or participation financing. It is a system of financial emerged due to consequential increase in demand for funds of substantial magnitude and inability of individual banks to take care of the entire fund requirement
of large borrowers. The system of consortium lending provides scope and opportunity to share risk amongst banks. The system is considered to be mutually beneficial to the banks as well as customers. Under multiple banking, there is no coordination among banks regarding appraisal, documentation, other terms and advances. In such a situation borrowers got the upper hand by playing one bank against the other. It was, therefore, necessary to formalize these credit arrangements to safeguard the interest of the banks. It is mainly catered in case of large corporate and certain mid-sized borrowers.

Syndication Lending
 Reserve Bank of India has permitted the banks to adopt syndication route to provide credit in lieu of consortium advance. A syndication credit differs from consortium advance. A syndicated credit differs from consortium advances in certain aspects.

The salient features of a syndicated credit are as follows:

 1. It is an agreement between two or more banks to provide a borrower a credit facility using common documents of the borrower.

2. The prospective borrower gives a mandate to a bank, commonly referred as a lead bank (lead manager), to arrange credit on his behalf. The mandate gives the commercial terms of the credit and the prerogatives of the mandated bank in resolving contentious issue in the course of the transaction of complete syndication.

3. The mandated bank prepares an information Memorandum about the borrower in consultation with the latter and distributes the same among st the prospective banks, inviting them to participate in the credit proposal.

What is a 'Syndicated Loan'
A syndicated loan, also known as a syndicated bank facility, is a loan offered by a group of lenders – referred to as a syndicate – who work together to provide funds for a single borrower. The borrower could be a corporation, a large project or a sovereignty, such as a government. The loan can involve a fixed amount of funds, a credit line or a combination of the two.


Dimensions of Credit Appraisals

Dimensions of Credit Appraisals
 Six ―C‖ s
1. Character
You are considered to have good credit character when you live up to your financial and credit agreements. Paying bills on time and meeting financial obligations are signs of good character. Your credit score and your credit history are good ways for a bank to learn about your character or credit reputation and how well you pay your credit obligations.

 2. Capacity Capacity reflects your ability to repay a loan or other financial agreement. Potential creditors want to see that you‘ll have enough cash left over after paying your fixed monthly expenses to repay a new credit or loan account.

 3. Capital A potential bank also will assess your capital. Wondering if you have any? Subtract all your debts from your assets, including any property that you may own, and this is your capital. Banks and creditors like to see that you have enough capital to handle another loan or credit account before approving you for new credit.

4. Conditions Banks look at conditions such as the stability of your employment, your other debts and financial obligations, and how often you‘ve moved in the past year when considering whether to approve you for a loan. The longer you‘ve been in a job and the less frequently you‘ve moved the more stable your life conditions appear to potential creditors and banks.

 5. Collateral Collateral is any property or possession that can be used as security for a payment of a debt. For example, a home or automobile serve as collateral against the loans you might take out to purchase them. Banks like collateral because it guarantees them against a total loss if you fail to repay your loan. If that happens, your collateral may be sold or repossessed to repay your financial obligation.

6. Cash Flow adequate cash flow to repay a new loan. Income in each monthAre you paid regularly, or does your income fluctuate based on seasonality or other factors? A Bank wants to make sure you have enough cash flowing your way on a regular basis so that you can pay for a new credit obligation
