RBI Guides Banks On Due Diligence For Crypto Dealings Of Customers

The Reserve Bank of India has guided banks to continue doing due diligence on any crypto currency related dealings of their customers. The regulator has, however, said a 2018 circular from the RBI, that was set aside by the Supreme Court in March last year, cannot be cited as a reason to curb customer dealings in these tokens.

“Such references to the above circular by banks/ regulated entities are not in order as this circular was set aside by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on March 04, 2020 in the matter of Writ Petition (Civil) No.528 of 2018 (Internet and Mobile Association of India v. Reserve Bank of India). As such, in view of the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the circular is no longer valid from the date of the Supreme Court judgement, and therefore cannot be cited or quoted from. – Text from RBI Circular.

KYC details can be updated by Dec 31; select limited KYC A/Cs can be made fully compliant: RBI

This announcement was part of the RBI governor, Shakthikantha Das’ unscheduled speech on May 5, 2021 to announce measures to tackle the ongoing second wave of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

RBI eases KYC compliance, no punitive actions till Dec 2021; extends video KYC to new customers. RBI also announced that limited KYC accounts opened on the basis of Aadhaar e-KYC authentication in non-face-to-face mode can be converted to fully KYC-compliant accounts.

Those who have to update their KYC details of their bank accounts can breathe a little easy. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced today that banks should not take punitive action against those customer accounts where periodic KYC updating is due/pending. RBI has given time until December 31, 2021 for customers to update their KYC details.

New rules notified for determining deemed consideration for slump sale; key things to know

Union Budget 2021 introduced significant amendments in the provisions relating to the taxation of slump sale transactions. One of the key amendments is in relation to computation of consideration value for slump sale taxation. Earlier, the consideration actually paid or received on the slump sale was considered for determining the capital gains tax on the sale. CBDT has now prescribed the rules containing the mechanism relating to computation of the FMV in slump sale transactions.

The Finance Act, 2021 has however provided that to compute the tax arising on account of such slump sale, the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the capital assets (being an undertaking or division transferred by way of slump sale) shall be deemed to be full value of the consideration. However, the methodology to compute FMV was not prescribed by the Finance Act, 2021.

EPFO extends challan filing date for employers by a month to May 15

“The employers disbursing the wages for March 2020 not only get relief of extension of due date for payment of EPF dues for March, 2020 but also avoid liability of interest and penalty, if they remit on or before May 15, 2020,”.

Labour ministry is of the view that the above decision will support and provide relief to employers of establishments which have disbursed wages for March, 2020 to its employees and an incentive to employers for wage payment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

EPFO allows withdrawing money from EPF account twice to meet coronavirus emergency

The labour ministry has announced that EPF members can now avail a second non-refundable advance from their EPF accounts in order to meet the coronavirus related financial emergencies. Earlier, only a one-time advance was available for EPF members.

The provision to withdraw money from EPF accounts was first announced last year in March 2020 under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY). Earlier, only a one-time advance was available for EPF members. EPFO allows members second Covid advance withdrawal.

EPFO allows its members to withdraw non-refundable withdrawal of up to three months of basic wages and dearness allowance or 75% of the amount available in the EPF account, whichever is less. However, members can apply for lesser amounts as well.

Reappoint NCLT judges within two months: SC to Govt

The Supreme Court Monday ordered the government to complete reappointing NCLT judges within two months citing waning strength in all such tribunals that are now holding virtual courts amid the pandemic. There is a sanctioned limit of 63 judges, nearly half of which are now lying vacant triggering delays amid rising caseloads.

“As the strength of the members of the NCLT and NCLAT is depleting which would be detrimental to the smooth functioning of the Tribunals, we direct the Government to complete the process at the earliest and not later than two months,” the apex court said in the order.

Reappointment of members can be considered separately without waiting for the process of fresh appointments to commence, the court said.

NCLT directs liquidation of Devas Multimedia, allows petition by ISRO’s Antrix Corp

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has directed to initiate the liquidation process of Devas Multimedia by allowing the petition filed by Antrix Corporation, a commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organization.

The Bengaluru bench of the NCLT has said Devas Multimedia was incorporated with a fraudulent motive to collude and connive with the then officials of Antrix Corporation to get bandwidth from it by entering into an agreement in 2005, which was subsequently cancelled by the government. CBI had later filed charge sheets and ED had initiated PMLA proceedings. The MCA had also initiated an investigation into the affairs of Devas Multimedia, but a stay was granted by the Delhi High Court.

RBI opposes fresh insolvency freeze

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has shot down suggestions of a fresh suspension of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) due to the second wave of Covid, while making it clear that banks can still restructure distressed but viable loans, ensuring that their balance sheets remain transparent.

In initial discussions with the government, the RBI has indicated a freeze will not help anyone in the long run as it will only show lower level of non-performing assets (NPAs), government sources told TOI. The government has not completely shut the door on the issue but the regulator’s reluctance will certainly weigh on the decision.

MSME (Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises)

MSME stands for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. In a developing country like India, MSME industries are the backbone of the economy.

Key Updates – For the month of May, 2021

MSME needs ‘concentrated, right kind’ of relief package: Assocham

Industry body Assocham has demanded from the government a ‘concentrated and right kind’ of relief package for MSME sector, which was most affected by covid-19 pandemic.

“Yes, there is a need for a relief package which has to be directed very carefully. We at Assocham believe that both the Centre and the states need to come together with certain plans, so that we can give a concentrated, focused and the right kind of relief to whoever needs it the most,” Assocham president Vineet Agarwal said.

Suggesting some measures, he said banks should increase working capital limit of MSMEs by 20 per cent but not charge any extra collateral.

IDBI Bank launches digital loan processing system for MSME, agri borrowers

IDBI Bank on Wednesday announced the launch of its fully digitised loan processing system, offering over 50 products to MSME and agriculture sector. The Loan Processing System (LPS) for MSME and agri products seamlessly integrates with data fintechs, bureau validations, document storage, account management and customer notifications among others.
