LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP ACT - 2008
Need for the New Corporate Entity – LLP

Concept, Condensed form of the Act
1. With the growth of the Indian economy, the role played by its entrepreneurs as well as
its technical and professional manpower has been acknowledged internationally.  It is
felt opportune that entrepreneurship, knowledge and risk capital combine to provide a
further impetus to India’s economic growth.  In this background, a need has been felt
for a new corporate form that would provide an alternative to the traditional partnership,
with unlimited personal liability on the one hand, and, the statute-based governance
structure of the limited liability company on the other, in order to enable professional
expertise and entrepreneurial initiative to combine, organize and operate in flexible,
innovative and efficient manner.
2.   The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is viewed as an alternative corporate business
vehicle that provides the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility
of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived
agreement. The LLP form would enable entrepreneurs, professionals and enterprises
providing services of any kind or engaged in scientific and technical disciplines, to form
commercially efficient vehicles suited to their requirements. Owing to flexibility in its
structure and operation, the LLP would also be a suitable vehicle for small enterprises
and for investment by venture capital.
3.  Keeping in mind the need of the day, the Parliament enacted the Limited Liability
Partnership Act, 2008 which received the assent of the President on 7th January, 2009.
The salient features of the LLP Act 2008 inter alia are as follows:
(i) The LLP shall be a body corporate and a legal entity separate from its partners. Any two
or more persons, associated for carrying on a lawful business with a view to profit, may
by subscribing their names to an incorporation document and filing the same with the
Registrar, form a Limited Liability Partnership.  The LLP will have perpetual succession.
(ii) The mutual rights and duties of partners of an LLP inter se and those of the LLP and its
partners shall be governed by an agreement between partners or between the LLP and
the partners subject to the provisions of the LLP Act 2008.  The act provides flexibility to
devise the agreement as per their choice.  In the absence of any such agreement, the
mutual rights and duties shall be governed by the provisions of proposed the LLP Act.
(iii) The LLP will be a separate legal entity, liable to the full extent of its assets, with the
liability of the partners being limited to their agreed contribution in the LLP which may
be of tangible or intangible nature or both tangible and intangible in nature. No partner
would be liable on account of the independent or un-authorized actions of other partners
or their misconduct. The liabilities of the LLP and partners who are found to have acted
with intent to defraud creditors or for any fraudulent purpose shall be unlimited for all or
any of the debts or other liabilities of the LLP.

(iv) Every LLP shall have at least two partners and shall also have at least two individuals as
Designated Partners, of whom at least one shall be resident in India. The duties and
obligations of Designated Partners shall be as provided in the law.
(v) The LLP shall be under an obligation to maintain annual accounts reflecting true and fair
view of its state of affairs.  A statement of accounts and solvency shall be filed by every
LLP with the Registrar every year.  The accounts of LLPs shall also be audited, subject to
any class of LLPs being exempted from this requirement by the Central Government.
(vi) The Central Government have powers to investigate the affairs of an LLP, if required, by
appointment of competent Inspector for the purpose.
(vii) The compromise or arrangement including merger and amalgamation of LLPs shall be in
accordance with the provisions of the LLP Act 2008.
(viii) A firm, private company or an unlisted public company is allowed to be converted into
LLP in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Upon such conversion, on and from the
date of certificate of registration issued by the Registrar in this regard, the effects of the
conversion shall be such as are specified in the LLP Act. On and from the date of registration
specified in the certificate of registration, all tangible (movable or immovable) and
intangible property vested in the firm or the company, all assets, interests, rights,
privileges, liabilities, obligations relating to the firm or the company, and the whole of
the undertaking of the firm or the company,  shall be transferred to and shall vest in the
LLP without further assurance, act or deed and the firm or the company,  shall be
deemed to be dissolved and removed from the records of the Registrar of Firms or
Registrar of Companies, as the case may be.
(ix) The winding up of the LLP may be either voluntary or by the Tribunal to be established
under the Companies Act, 1956. Till the Tribunal is established, the power in this regard
has been given to the High Court.
(x) The LLP Act 2008 confers powers on the Central Government to apply provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 as appropriate, by notification with such changes or modifications
as deemed necessary.  However, such notifications shall be laid in draft before each
House of Parliament for a total period of 30 days and shall be subject to any modification
as may be approved by both Houses.
(xi) The Indian Partnership Act, 1932 shall not be applicable to LLPs.


A brief overview
ü An LLP is a body corporate.
ü Apart from individuals, even body corporates may be partners.
ü Minimum two partners and two Designated Partners who must be individuals, but no
limit on the maximum number of partners. Designated Partners are liable for compliance.
If any compliance is not carried out, they will be liable for all penalties.
ü LLP may carry on any lawful business, trade, profession, service or occupation. Unlike
the Naresh Chandra Committee Report, the flexibility has been provided for LLPs to be
incorporated in such manner as they deem fit.
ü Inter se relationship, rights and duties between partners is governed by LLP Agreement
(which would also require to be registered). In the absence of agreement principles set
out in schedule 1 apply (general principles of equality, in terms of sharing of profits and
losses, etc).
ü The Name of the LLP must end with either the words ‘Limited Liability’
‘Partnership’ or the acronym ‘LLP’
· Agency: Every partner is an agent of the LLP and not of the other partners
· Unauthorised Acts: An LLP is not bound by unauthorized acts of any partner in dealing
with a third person provided such third person
(a) is aware that the acts are unauthorised; or
(b) does not know or believe that the partner is a partner of the LLP
v Wrongful Acts or Omissions: An LLP is liable for wrongful acts or omissions
of partners in the course of business of the LLP or with its authority–The
partner(s) committing such act or omission will be personally liable – Other
partners not to be liable for such wrongful act or omission.
v An obligation of the limited liability partnership is solely the obligation of the
limited liability partnership.
v The liabilities of the limited liability partnership shall be met out of the property
of the limited liability partnership. Accordingly, unlike the Texas first law, even
liability for debt is limited.
Right to share profits transferable
v Right of a partner to share profits is transferable (either wholly or in part)
v Transfer does not imply that the transferor/assignor has ceased to be a Partner
v Transferee/ assignee not entitled to participate in the management of the LLP
v Transferee/assignee not entitled to any information relating to transactions of LLP
v Statements of Accounts and Solvency: An LLP must prepare a ‘Statement of Accounts’

v Why is there a need for a statutory provision of this nature?
v Would this prohibit subordinate debt, where partners agree not to recover their debts
until external debt is paid off?
v Section 71 – The provisions of this Act would be in addition to, and not in derogation of,
the provisions of any other law for the time being in force.
v Therefore one would need to analyse provisions of various statutes governing professionals
to decide whether they can take advantage of this LLP.
v For instance, the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, provides uses in a number of places
the term “firm”, which would usually refer to a firm under the Indian Partnership Act,
1932. The said Act also prohibits companies from practicing as chartered accountants.
Are amendments necessary?
v For instance, for lawyers, under the Advocates Act, only Advocates can appear before
courts. As a firm is not a person in the eyes of law, a partnership firm is permitted. In
light of the LLP Act, where a firm would be treated as a person in the eyes of law with
perpetual succession, it is difficult to see how an LLP can be a firm under the provisions
of the Advocates Act, which could be recognised as having a right to practice. For instance,
even today, a lawyer cannot be part of a company and a company cannot be the lawyer
appointed for a client.
v Filing of accounts–Accounts of a firm is a private affair, except for disclosures which have
to be made to the income tax authorities Now accounts would have to be filed with the
Registrar.
v Would this be acceptable to the Indian legal firms, chartered accountants and other
professionals?
v One issue that arose in proposing a bill for limited liability partnerships was that paper
thin LLPs should not be permitted as they could completely undermine the credibility of
LLPs.
v At that point of time the Naresh Chandra committee had suggested that there should be
provisions for Compulsory Insurance under the LLP Act.
v The proposal has disappeared in the winds of changes.
v The entire proposal of LLPs is based on a one way street.
v While you can convert from a firm or a company to an LLP, there are no provisions for
erring and deciding to reconvert back into a partnership or a company.
v In such a case, the decision has to be well weighed realising that there is no “U turn”
available down the road.
v Section 27(4) of the Act states that the liabilities of a limited liability partnership shall be
met out of the property of the limited liability partnership.
v One issue that arises is whether this would preclude in any manner, lenders and contracting
parties from obtaining personal and corporate guarantees from the partners as a
precondition to providing any loans.
v The arguments against this is that the principles of a guarantee arise from contract law
and this would not preclude the application of such principles.
v The argument in favour of treating such guarantees as void is that this is a special law
that mandates that the liability is to be met out of the property of a limited liability
partnership.
v Perhaps the absence of the words “exclusively” or “only” would be a determinant in the
event any litigation happens around this point.
v Questions arise, whether like a traditional partnership, there could be paid partners,

Basics of Banking

Few Important Banking/Financial terminologies:

Bank Rate:

Under Section 49 of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, the Bank Rate has been defined as ―the standard rate at which the Reserve Bank is prepared to buy or re-discount bills of exchange or other commercial paper eligible for purchase under the Act. On introduction of LAF, discounting/rediscounting of bills of exchange by the Reserve Bank has been discontinued. As a result, the Bank Rate became dormant as an instrument of monetary management. It is now aligned to MSF rate and used for calculating penalty on default in the cash reserve ratio (CRR) and the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR).

Marginal Standing Facility Rate:

To meet additional liquidity requirements, banks can borrow overnight funds from the Reserve Bank under the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) at a higher rate of interest, normally 100 basis points above the policy repo rate. Banks can borrow against their excess SLR securities and are also permitted to dip down up to two percentage points below the prescribed SLR to avail funds under the MSF.

Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR):

This term is used by bankers and indicates the minimum percentage of deposits that the bank has to maintain in form of gold, cash or other approved securities. In terms of Section 24 of the Banking Regulations Act, 1949, scheduled commercial banks have to invest in unencumbered government and approved securities certain minimum amount as statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) on a daily basis. In addition to investment in unencumbered government and other approved securities, gold, cash and excess CRR balance are also treated as liquid assets for the purpose of SLR.

Cash Reserve Ratio:

Banks in India are required to hold a certain proportion of their deposits in the form of cash.

However, actually Banks don‘t hold these as cash with themselves, but deposit such case with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) / currency chests, which is considered as equivalent to holding cash with RBI.

Banks have to maintain minimum 95 per cent of the required CRR on a daily basis and 100 per cent on an average basis during the fortnight.

Calculations: CRR for the current fortnight= a fixed percentage (%) of the total demand and time liabilities reported by the banks in terms of Section 42 (1) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 with a lag of 1 fortnight i.e. CRR for the fortnight ended April 4, 2014 is a fixed



percentage (%) of the total demand and time liabilities reported by the banks as on the reporting fortnight March7, 2014. The Fixed percentage is based on the policy announcement or otherwise.

Repo rate:

Repo rate is the rate at which banks borrow funds from the Reserve Bank against eligible collaterals and the reverse repo rate is the rate at which banks place their surplus funds with the RBI under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) introduced in June 2000. The repo rate has emerged as the key policy rate for signaling the monetary policy stance.

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF):

LAF is a monetary policy tool which allows banks to borrow money through repurchase agreements. LAF is used to aid banks in adjusting the day to day mismatches in liquidity. LAF consists of repo and reverse repo operations. Repo or repurchase option is a collaterised lending i.e. banks borrow money from Reserve bank of India to meet short term needs by selling securities to RBI with an agreement to repurchase the same at predetermined rate and date. The rate charged by RBI for this transaction is called the repo rate. Repo operations therefore inject liquidity into the system. Reverse repo operation is when RBI borrows money from banks by lending securities. The interest rate paid by RBI is in this case is called the reverse repo rate. Reverse repo operation therefore absorbs the liquidity in the system

VARIOUS LAWS/ACTS RELATED WITH INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

Background:

Banking in India is governed by various laws and legal provisions, requirements restrictions and guidelines. This is required in order to maintain transparency between banking institutions and customers with whom they conduct business.

The following are the important laws whose statutory provisions the Banks have to comply with.

The Banking Regulation Act, 1949

The main statute governing the banks in India is the Banking Regulation Act 1949.

By virtue of the powers conferred by the Act, The Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India exercise control over banks right from the opening of the Branches to their winding up. The purpose of enactment of this Act was to consolidate the banking system and suitably amend the laws relating to banking sector and to regulate the Banking Companies including cooperative banks. This Act is not applicable to primary agriculture societies, and cooperative land development banks.

Section 22 of the Act regulates the entry of a company into banking business by licensing as provided. It also put restrictions on shareholding, directorship, voting powers and other aspects of banking companies. There are several provisions in the act regulating the business of banking such as restrictions on loans and advances, provisions relating to rate of interest, requirements as to cash reserve ratio, provisions regarding audit and inspection and submission of balance sheet and accounts.

The act also provides for control over the management of banking companies.

Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934:

This Act was enacted on 6th March, 1934 to constitute the Reserve Bank of India with the following objectives:

 To issue of Bank Notes.

 For keeping reserves for securing monitory stability in India and,

 To operate the currency and credit system of the country to its advantage.

The Act deals with the following:

 Incorporation, capital, management and business of the bank.

 Central banking functions like Issue of Bank Notes, monetary control, acting as banker to the Government and Banks, lender of last resort etc.

 Collection and furnishing credit information.

 Acceptance of deposits by Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFI).

 Handling Reserve Fund, Credit funds, publication of bank rate, audit and accounts etc.

 Penalties for violation of the provision of the act or direction issued there under.

 The Government of India has adopted a committee based approach for formulating policy on maintaining price stability while keeping the objective of growth in mind. The committee will conduct four meetings in a year and shall publicize its decisions after each meeting. The committee has come into force from 27.06.2016.

Important Provisions:

Definition of a Scheduled Bank –

According to Section 2(e), Scheduled Bank means a bank whose name is written in the 2nd schedule of RBI Act, 1934 and which satisfies the conditions laid down in Section 42(6), - Paid up capital and reserves of not less than Rs. 5 lac, satisfaction of RBI that the affairs will not be conducted by the bank in a way to jeopardize the interests of the depositor.

It may be a State Co-operative Bank, a company defined in Companies Act, 1956, an institution notified by Central Government for the purpose and a corporation or a company incorporated by or under any law in force, in any place outside India. Any bank that is not included in the 2nd Schedule of RBI is called Non-Scheduled Bank.

Section 49 defines Bank Rate as

The Standard Rate at which it (the bank) is prepared to buy or rediscount bills of exchange or other commercial paper eligible for purchase under this Act‖. By varying the bank rate, the RBI can to a certain extent regulate the commercial bank credit and the general credit situation of the country.

The impact of this tool has not been very great because of the fact that the RBI does not have a mechanism to control the unorganized sector. Further the money market in our financial system is not fully developed, so that the Bank rate policy will have if desired impact on the financial system.

Supervisory role of the RBI: Inspection of Banks:

The most significant supervisory function exercised by the RBI is the inspection of Banks. The basic objectives of inspection of banks are to safeguard the interests of the depositors and to build up and maintain a sound banking system in conformity with the banking laws and regulations as well as the country‗s socio-economic objectives.



Accordingly, inspections serve as a tool for overall appraisal of the financial and managerial systems and performance of the banks, toning up of their procedures and methods of operation and prevention of serious irregularities. RBI has now adopted ‗Risk Based Supervision‘ system which focuses on:

a. Evaluating both present and future risks

b. Identifying incipient problem

c. Facilitating prompt intervention / early corrective action

d. Replacing present compliance based /transaction based approach (CAMEL).

e. Periodicity depends on risk rather than volume of business.

The RBI‗s powers to conduct inspections are contained in various provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, the most important being Section 35. This apart, inspections may be necessary under the provisions of Section 23, 37, 38, 44, 44A, 44B and 45 of the Act.

Audit of Annual Accounts of Banks:

Banks have to close their books of accounts every year as at March 31st and prepare a Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss account as prescribed in the III schedule of the Banking Regulation Act.

These annual accounts are required to be audited by auditors appointed by the Bank each year with the prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India, as per Section 30(1A) of the Banking Regulation Act, in respect of private sector banks. Section 10(1) of the Banking Companies [Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings] Act, 1970 / 1980 provides for audit of annual accounts of banks in the case of nationalized banks.

Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881:

The NI Act, 1881 defines the cheque, Bill of Exchange, DP Note, Drawer, Drawee, Maker, Payee, and also lays down the laws relating to payment of the customers cheques by a banker and also protection available to a banker.

The relationship between banker and customer being debtor – creditor relationship, the bank is bound to pay the cheques drawn by his customers. This duty on the part of Bank to honour its customer‗s mandate is laid down in section 31 of the NI Act.

Section 10, 85, 89 and 128 of the NI Act grants protection to a paying banker.

Cheque Truncation System: CTS 2010:

Truncation is the process of stopping the flow of the physical cheque issued by a drawer to the drawee branch. The physical instrument will be truncated at some point en-route to the drawee branch and an electronic image of the cheque would be sent to the drawee branch



along with the relevant information like the MICR fields, date of presentation, presenting banks etc.

The images captured at the presenting bank level would be transmitted to the Clearing House and then to the drawee branches with digital signatures of the presenting bank. Thus each image would carry the digital signature, apart from the physical endorsement of the presenting bank, in a prescribed manner. The physical instruments are required to be stored for a statutory period. It would be obligatory for presenting bank to warehouse the physical instruments for that statutory period. In case a customer desires to get a paper instrument back, the instrument can be sourced from the presenting bank through the drawee bank.

Indian Contract Act, 1872:

Banking involves interaction between a banker and customer. A customer of a bank may be a depositor, borrower or any other person merely utilizing one of the various services provided by the banker. The relation between the Banker and the customer will vary according to the transaction carried out. The relationship may be Debtor- Creditor, Creditor- Debtor, Bailor-bailee, etc.

The interaction of a bank with its customer creates certain obligations and gives certain rights to both the bank and the customer. All Agreements are contracts, if they are made by parties competent to contract, for a lawful consideration and with a lawful object, and are not expressly declared to be void. All Banking transactions are therefore, separate contracts.

Contract of indemnity-

A contract by which one party promises to save the other from loss caused to him by the contract of the promisor himself, or by the conduct of any other person, is called a contract of indemnity.

There are two parties to the contract of Indemnity-i.e. the indemnifier and the indemnified. This is defined in Section124 of the Indian Contract Act.

Contract of guarantee:

Indian Partnership Act, 1932-

Partnership is the relationship between persons who have agreed to share the profit of a business carried out by all or any of them, acting for all. The relationship between partners is governed by Partnership Deed. Firm is not the legal entity but governed by Indian Partnership Act, 1932.

Any person capable to enter into the contract can be a partner in the firm. Max partners: Non-banking business=10, other=20

The act provides for registration of partnership and it is necessary that a banker dealing with partnership firm should verify as to whether the firm is registered or not.

This would help him to know all the names of the partners and their relationship. The act of the partner shall be binding on the firm if done:

(a) In the usual business of the partnership.

(b) In the usual way of business.

(c) As a partner, i.e. on behalf of the firm and not solely on his own behalf.

(d) An unregistered firm cannot sue but can be sued



Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008:

LLP is a body Corporate having separate legal existence having mixed characteristics of Partnership Firm & Companies. As per the need of the day, the Parliament enacted the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 which received the assent of the President on 7th January, 2009.

The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is viewed as an alternative corporate business vehicle that provides the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived agreement. The LLP form would enable entrepreneurs, professionals and enterprises providing services of any kind or engaged in scientific and technical disciplines, to form commercially efficient vehicles suited to their requirements.

Owing to flexibility in its structure and operation, the LLP would also be a suitable vehicle for small enterprises and for investment by venture capital.

 Indian Partnership Act, 1932 shall not be applicable to LLPs and there shall not be any upper limit on number of partners in an LLP.

 Partners are not personally liable rather will be liable up to the extent of his share as LLP agreement. For all purposes of taxation, an LLP is treated like any other partnership firm. It is separate from its Partners. It can sue and be sued.

Indian Companies Act, 1956:

A company is a juristic person created by law, having a perpetual succession and common seal distinct from its members.

In India, companies are governed by Companies Act, 1956.All the companies are required to be registered under Companies Act, 1956. Section 11 of the Companies Act provides that an Association or Partnership consisting of more than 10 in the case of Banking Business and more than 20 in the case of other business shall be registered under the companies act. If not registered, the said association or partnership will be illegal. The business and the objects of a company and the rules and regulations governing its management are known by two important documents called Memorandum of Association and Article of Association. Company is juristic person created by law, having a perpetual succession and common seal distinct from its members. Company is owned jointly by a group of persons. It has a legal existence separate from that of owners.

Properties of company are owned by company and not jointly by owners who are called shareholders. Unlike partners, shareholders are not personally liable for the debts of the company. They cannot participate in day to day management of company. It is managed by its directors.



Amendments made in the Indian Companies Act, 2013:

The amendments to the Companies Act 1956 in 2013 Act have introduced several new concepts and have also tried to streamline many of the requirements by introducing new definitions. After getting approval of both the houses of Parliament, the long awaited Companies Bill 2013 obtained the assent of the President of India on 29 August 2013 and became Companies Act, 2013 (2013 Act). The changes in the 2013 Act have far-reaching implications that are set to significantly change the manner in which corporates operate in India.

Highlights of Companies Act 2013:

1. Immediate Changes in letterhead, bills or other official communications, as if full name, address of its registered office, Corporate Identity Number (21 digit number allotted by Government), Telephone number, fax number, email ID, website address if any.

2. One Person Company (OPC): It's a Private Company having only one Member and at least One Director. No compulsion to hold AGM. Conversion of existing private Companies with paid-up capital up to Rs 50 Lacs and turnover up to Rs 2 Crores into OPC is permitted.

3. Woman Director: Every Listed Company /Public Company with paid up capital of Rs 100 Crores or more / Public Company with turnover of Rs 300 Crores or more shall have at least one Woman Director.

4. Resident Director: Every Company must have a director who stayed in India for a total period of 182 days or more in previous calendar year.

5. Accounting Year: Every company shall follow uniform accounting year i.e. 1 st April -31st March.

6. Loans to director – The Company CANNOT advance any kind of loan / guarantee / security to any director, Director of holding company, his partner, his relative, Firm in which he or his relative is partner, private limited in which he is director or member or any bodies corporate whose 25% or more of total voting power or board of Directors is controlled by him.

7. Articles of Association- In the next General Meeting, it is desirable to adopt Table F as standard set of Articles of Association of the Company with relevant changes to suite the requirements of the company. Further, every copy of Memorandum and Articles issued to members should contain a copy of all resolutions / agreements that are required to be filed with the Registrar.

8. Disqualification of director- All existing directors must have Directors Identification Number (DIN) allotted by central government. Directors who already have DIN need not take any action. Directors not having DIN should initiate the process of getting DIN allotted to him and inform companies. The Company, in turn, has to inform registrar.

9. Financial year- Under the new Act, all companies have to follow a uniform Financial Year i.e. from 1st April to 31st March. Those companies which follow a different financial year have to align their accounting year to 1st April to 31st March within 2 years. It is desirable to do the same as early as possible since most of the compliances are on financial year basis under the new Companies Act.





10. Appointment of Statutory Auditors- Every Listed Company can appoint an individual auditor for 5 years and a firm of auditors for 10 years. This period of 5 / 10 years commences from the date of their appointment. Therefore, those companies have reappointed their statutory auditors for more than 5 / 10 years; have to appoint another auditor in Annual General Meeting for year 2014.

The most important of them is the strict adherence to the norms laid down in respect of KYC and AML.

The RBI has laid down specific guidelines in respect of documents to be obtained while opening of bank accounts.





These documents are called Officially Valid Documents (OVD).

The OVD are:

Passport/ Driving License with photo, Aadhar card issued by the UIDAI, Voter ID issued by the Election commission of India, job card under NREGA issued by the State Governments, PAN card (Only for ID proof).

Registration certificate of the firm issued by the Municipal corporation under the Shops and establishment Act, Certificate of incorporation in case of companies, Sales Tax/ IT returns, in case of corporate a/cs.

Either of the documents from the list of ‗Officially Valid KYC Documents‘ for Account Opening must be obtained from the customers to verify the identity and address of the customers. It must be noted that only the documents mentioned in the list provided by the RBI would be accepted by the branches while opening of any new account. Branches would not have the discretion to accept any other document for this purpose. The RBI also enforces the compliance of stipulated norms in respect of Forex transactions by the banks.

The regulatory functions of the RBI:

RBI controls the monitory policy of the country.

It keeps vigil on the functioning of the banks in the country and ensures that, they maintain various rates such as CRR, SLR in accordance with the formulated policies.

The RBI conducts inspection of the branches of various banks to monitor the proper implementation of the guidelines.

It also calls for various reports such as CTR/STR (Through FIU-Ind) in respect of domestic transactions and R reports in respect of Forex transactions, being carried out by the Banks in India.

It wields power to levy penalties on the erring banks who flout the guidelines issued by the RBI in respect of KYC/AML or FOREX matters.

Registrar of Companies (ROC):

Registrars of Companies (ROC) appointed under Section 609 of the Companies Act, covering the various States and Union Territories are vested with the primary duty of registering companies and LLPs floated in the respective states and the Union Territories and ensuring that such companies and LLPs comply with statutory requirements under the Act. These offices function as registry of records, relating to the companies registered with them, which are available for inspection by members of public on payment of the prescribed fee.



The Central Government exercises administrative control over these offices through the respective Regional Directors.

The charge of the financing Institutions on the assets of the company are required to be registered with the ROC within 30 days from the date of creation of charge. If the charge has remained to be created within the stipulated time of 30 days, then also the charge can be created by paying the additional fee by way of penalty.

Central Registry:

Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest (CERSAI) is a central online security interest registry of India. It is primarily created to check frauds in lending against equitable mortgages, in which people would avail multiple finances against the same asset from different banks.

CERSAI's mandate is to maintain a centralized data bank of equitable mortgages created and registered where it contains information on the equitable mortgage taken on a property along with details of the financial institution that has extended the loan as well as details about the borrower. CERSAI also allowed lenders to register transactions of securitisation and asset reconstruction. According to the government's directives, financial institutions must register details of security interests created by them with CERSAI within 30 days of its creation.

Banking Codes and Standard Boards of India (BCSBI):

Retail Banking- Deduction of Interest on Housing Loan – Sec 24b



Applicable for financial year 2015-16 and 2016-17

Section 24 of the income tax act provides deduction in respect of home loan interest.

Important points



1) Interest on housing loan is allowable as deduction on accrual basis not on paid basis (even if account books are kept on cash basis) if capital is borrowed for the purpose of purchase, construction, repair, renewal or reconstruction of the house property. Deduction can be claimed for two or more housing loans.



2)Interest includes service fees, brokerage, commission, prepayment charges etc.



3)Interest/penalty on unpaid interest shall not be allowed as deduction.



4)Deduction shall be allowed irrespective of the nature of loan whether it is housing loan or personal loan from any person/institution.



5) If a person instead of raising a loan from a third party pays sale price to the seller in instalments along with interest than such interest is also allowable.



6) Interest on borrowed money which is payable outside India shall not be allowed as deduction under section 24(b), unless the tax on the same has been paid or deducted at source and in respect of which there is no person in India, who may be treated as an agent of the recipient for such purpose.



7) For claiming deduction under this section, assessee must be the owner or deemed owner of the house property and loan shall be in the assessee name.



Maximum Limit of deduction under section 24b



These limits of deduction is applicable assessee wise and not property wise. Therefore if an assessee owns two or more house property then the total deduction for that assessee remain same.



1) In Let Out Property/Deemed to be Let Out – No maximum limit



2) Self Occupied House (SOP) – Rs. 2,00,000. (1,50,000 for A.y 2014-15 and before)

In the following cases the above limit of Rs 2,00,000 for SOP shall be reduced to Rs. 30,000



– Loan borrowed before 01-04-1999 for any purpose related to house property.



– Loan borrowed after 01-04-1999 for any purpose other than construction or acquisition.



– If construction/acquisition is not completed within 5 years from the end of the financial year (3 years till financial year 2015-16) in which capital was borrowed. For example, a loan is obtained for construction/acquisition on 28 Oct 2011 then the deduction limit should reduced to Rs 30,000 if the construction / acquisition completes after 31 March 2017.



Interest for pre construction/acquisition period Interest for pre construction/acquisition period is allowable in 5 equal instalment beginning from the year of completion of house property. This deduction is not allowable if the loan is utilized for repairs, renewal or reconstruction.



Pre Construction/Acquisition period starts from the date of borrowing and ends on the last day of preceding Financial Year in which the construction is completed. For example, if house property is completed on 21st March 2012 then the deduction is allowed from Financial Year 2011-2012 to 2015-16.



Example

Loan Taken on 01-05-2006 of Rs. 5,00,000

Construction End on 07-09-2012.

Pre Construction/Acquisition Period = 01-05-2006 to 31-03-2012

Pre Construction/Acquisition Interest = Rs 3,55,000 ( Rs 5,00,000*71 Months*1%)



Pre Construction/Acquisition Interest Deduction for Financial Year 2012-13 to 2016-17 assuming let out property or deemed to be let out = Rs 71,000 per year ( 3,55,000/5 )



Pre Construction/Acquisition Interest Deduction for Financial Year 2012-13 to 2016-17 assuming SOP = Rs 71,000 per year ( 355000/5 ) (as the construction is completed within 5 years from the end of the financial year in which capital was borrowed)

Interest from 01-04-2012 to 31-03-2013 shall be allowed as deduction in 2012-13 as current year’s interest. Interest from 01-04-2012 to 07-09-2012 shall not be considered as Pre Acquisition/Construction Period.



Note: – If a property is partly SOP and partly let out then also the limit of Rs 2,00,000/30,000 shall be available for SOP portion and there is no limit of deduction for let out portion even if the construction is completed after 3 years.

 CASE STUDIES

Intermediaries – case study 1

A person (later arrested for drug trafficking) made a financial investment (life insurance) of USD 250,000 by means of an insurance broker. He acted as follows. He contacted an insurance broker and delivered a total amount of USD 250,000 in three cash instalments. The insurance broker did not report the delivery of that amount and deposited the three instalments in the bank. These actions raised no suspicion at the bank, since the insurance broker was known to them as being connected to the insurance branch. The insurance broker delivered, afterwards, to the insurance company responsible for making the financial investment, three cheques from a bank account under his name, totalling USD 250,000, thus avoiding raising suspicions with the insurance company.

Intermediaries – case study 2

Clients in several countries used the services of an intermediary to purchase insurance policies. Identification was taken from the client by way of an ID card, but these details were unable to be clarified by the providing institution locally, which was reliant on the intermediary doing due diligence checks. The policy was put in place and the relevant payments were made by the intermediary to the local institution. Then, after a couple of months had elapsed, the institution would receive notification from the client stating that there was now a change in circumstances, and they would have to close the policy suffering the losses but coming away with a clean cheque from the institution. On other occasions the policy would be left to run for a couple of years before being closed with the request that the payment be made to a third party. This was often paid with the receiving institution, if local, not querying the payment as it had come from another reputable local institution.

Collusion – case study 3

An insurer in collusion with an insured person attempted to launder money through insurance transactions. The manager of an insurance company sold health and personal injury insurance policies insuring against the liability from accidents to dummy persons, normally in the names of friends and relatives. These persons paid a low premium rate. Subsequently claims were received, supported by false documentation and medical certificates to substantiate the losses and the insurer paid the claims promptly. The claims for damages were considerable. The manager then sought to legalise this scheme and recover the damages paid out. Under subrogation rights, the insurance company took legal action against all businesses where the alleged accidents had occurred. The businesses involved (restaurants, clubs etc.) responded that they had not been aware of the alleged accidents and that no such accidents had occurred at the times stated.

Collusion – case study 4

A drug trafficker purchased a life insurance policy with a value of USD 80,000. The policy was purchased through an agent of a large life insurance company using a cashier’s cheque. The investigation showed that the client had made it known that the funds used to finance the policy were the proceeds of drug trafficking. In light of this fact, the agent charged significantly higher commission. Three months following this transaction, the investigation showed that the drug dealer cashed in his policy.

Reinsurance – case study 5

An insurer in Country A sought reinsurance with a reputable reinsurance company in Country B for its directors and officers cover of an investment firm in Country A. The insurer was prepared to pay four times the market rate for this reinsurance cover. This raised the suspicion of the reinsurer which contacted law enforcement agencies. Investigation made clear that the investment firm was bogus and controlled by criminals with a drug background. The insurer had ownership links with the investment firm. The impression is that – although drug money would be laundered by a payment received from the reinsurer – the main purpose was to create the appearance of legitimacy by using the name of a reputable reinsurer. By offering to pay above market rate the insurer probably intended to assure continuation of the reinsurance arrangement.

Reinsurance – case study 6

A group of persons with interests in home construction effected a payment in favour of construction company A under contracts connected with their participation in investment construction (at cost price). Insurance company P accepted possible financial risks to these contracts under a contract of financial risks insurance and received an insurance premium. At the same time the insurance company P concluded with the construction company A a secret agreement providing that the difference between the market cost of housing and the cost price was transferred in favour of the insurance company as a premium under the contract of financial risks insurance. When the funds were received by the insurance company P they were transferred as insurance premium under the general reinsurance contract in favour of insurance company X. By way of fictitious service contracts and commission payments made under an agency contract, insurance company X channelled the funds to several off-shore shell firms. Beneficiaries of the actual profit, being withdrawn abroad, were owners and directors of the construction company A.

Money Laundering process kyc aml

Money laundering:::

The money laundering cycle can be broken down into three distinct stages; however, it is important to remember that money laundering is a single process. The stages of money laundering include the:

Placement Stage

Layering Stage

Integration Stage

The Placement Stage
The placement stage represents the initial entry of the "dirty" cash or proceeds of crime into the financial system. Generally, this stage serves two purposes: (a) it relieves the criminal of holding and guarding large amounts of bulky of cash; and (b) it places the money into the legitimate financial system. It is during the placement stage that money launderers are the most vulnerable to being caught. This is due to the fact that placing large amounts of money (cash) into the legitimate financial system may raise suspicions of officials.

The placement of the proceeds of crime can be done in a number of ways. For example, cash could be packed into a suitcase and smuggled to a country, or the launderer could use smurfs to defeat reporting threshold laws and avoid suspicion. Some other common methods include:

Loan Repayment

Repayment of loans or credit cards with illegal proceeds

Gambling

Purchase of gambling chips or placing bets on sporting events

Currency Smuggling



The physical movement of illegal currency or monetary instruments over the border

Currency Exchanges

Purchasing foreign money with illegal funds through foreign currency exchanges

Blending Funds



Using a legitimate cash focused business to co-mingle dirty funds with the day's legitimate sales receipts

This environment has resulted in a situation where officials in these jurisdictions are either unwilling due to regulations, or refuse to cooperate in requests for assistance during international money laundering investigations.

To combat this and other international impediments to effective money laundering investigations, many like-minded countries have met to develop, coordinate, and share model legislation, multilateral agreements, trends & intelligence, and other information. For example, such international watchdogs as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evolved out of these discussions.

The Layering Stage
After placement comes the layering stage (sometimes referred to as structuring). The layering stage is the most complex and often entails the international movement of the funds. The primary purpose of this stage is to separate the illicit money from its source. This is done by the sophisticated layering of financial transactions that obscure the audit trail and sever the link with the original crime.

During this stage, for example, the money launderers may begin by moving funds electronically from one country to another, then divide them into investments placed in advanced financial options or overseas markets; constantly moving them to elude detection; each time, exploiting loopholes or discrepancies in legislation and taking advantage of delays in judicial or police cooperation.

The Integration Stage
The final stage of the money laundering process is termed the integration stage. It is at the integration stage where the money is returned to the criminal from what seem to be legitimate sources. Having been placed initially as cash and layered through a number of financial transactions, the criminal proceeds are now fully integrated into the financial system and can be used for any purpose.

There are many different ways in which the laundered money can be integrated back with the criminal; however, the major objective at this stage is to reunite the money with the criminal in a manner that does not draw attention and appears to result from a legitimate source. For example, the purchases of property, art work, jewellery, or high-end automobiles are common ways for the launderer to enjoy their illegal profits without necessarily drawing attention to themselves

Smurfs - A popular method used to launder cash in the placement stage. This technique involves the use of many individuals (the"smurfs") who exchange illicit funds (in smaller, less conspicuous amounts) for highly liquid items such as traveller cheques, bank drafts, or deposited directly into savings accounts. These instruments are then given to the launderer who then begins the layering stage.

For example, ten smurfs could "place" $1 million into financial institutions using this technique in less than two weeks
