KYC non-compliance


Govt deactivates ID numbers of 2.1 million directors

The government began the process of deactivating the identification numbers of almost 2.1 million directors of companies that did not comply with KYC standards, according to a senior official. The director’s identification numbers (DIN), a unique number assigned to people who are eligible to be directors at meetings of registered companies, are being deactivated. They will be reactivated after paying a fee of 5,000 rupees along with the required form and the affected people could also face a lawsuit.

The latest movement of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs also comes at a time when the government has intensified the crackdown on the front companies, which are suspected conduits for illicit cash flows. In June, the ministry decided to carry out the KYC process (Know Your Client) for all directors, including those who have been disqualified.
The last date to comply with the new rules by sending the form ‘DIR-3 KYC‘ without charge ended on September 15. The senior ministry official said that of the 3.3 million active directors, only about 1.21 million directors completed the KYC process. The balance of around 2.1 million people did not meet the requirement.
The process of deactivating the non-conforming DIN is in progress and is likely to be completed on September 17, 2018.
After the deadline of September 15, the MCA 21 system will mark all approved DINs, assigned on or before March 31 of this year, against which the DIR-3 KYC form has not been filed as “deactivated“. The reason for the deactivation would be “no presentation of DIR-3 KYC,” according to the ministry. Interested parties use MCA 21 to submit the required documents to the ministry.
According to another communication from the ministry, which is implementing the Companies Law, the form can be presented “with respect to such deactivated DINs only with a rate of Rs 5,000, without prejudice to any other measure that may be taken”.
Last year, the ministry had disqualified more than 300,000 people from the management of registered companies in the midst of fighting illicit funds flows. These people were directors of companies that did not carry out commercial activities for a long time.

Misconceptions on TDS |Tax Deducted at Source | Certicom

Misconceptions about TDS (Tax denied at source) I recently published articles on TDS for periodic deposits and TDS for the withdrawal of the EPF. I received lots of TDS comments/questions about the amount of the source. I have noticed that there are many  misconceptions   about TDS. Many investors think that TDS refusal completely removes their tax liability. Another misrepresentation is – “ Without TDS means, without a tax obligation “. What is TDS? The tax amount of the source or TDS is a tax collection process from the tax department. This involves collecting revenue at the very source of income. It is an essentially  indirect tax  collection method that combines the concepts of “pay as you earn” and “collect as you earned.” Example:  You reserve a bank fixed deposit for Rs 3 Lakh for 1 year @ 10% per annum. You will earn an income of interest of 30,000 pounds per year. The bank will deduct TDS at a rate of 10%, for example, 3,000 rubles (10% from 30,000 rubles) and deposi
