How to get physical shares transferred and converted into


demat
Moneylife Digital Team
28 January 2015

Some people are holding shares not transferred in their name and dont know
how to go about the transfer. Here is the procedure

Corrected: As per Companies(Share Capital & Debentures) Rules, 2014, form
7B has been replaced with form SH-4

UPDATE: Updated to include additional information provided by NSDL's Rajesh
Doshi on demat and bank names that provide franking facility

Several people are still left with shares in physical format. If these are
transferred in their name, they can continue to hold them and get them
dematerialised anytime they want to. What about those who are holding shares
not yet transferred in their names? One cannot sell these shares in physical
forms through stock exchanges, unless it is dematerialized. Several readers of
Moneylife, said they wanted to transfer physical shares jointly held. But they
dont know the way out.

Asking National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) is of no help. You will get a
standard reply like this: "Shareholders can dematerialise physical shares in their
own name. As such, transfers of physical shares are outside the purview of
depository system. There is also no trading in physical shares on the stock
exchanges and hence they can only be transferred in private deals. The
recommended course of action for investors holding physical shares is to
dematerialise them. Transfer of demat shares is also exempt from stamp duty."

When we asked around, one member of Moneylife Foundation, Adil Daruwalla
turned out to be helpful on how get the franking done. We made our own
enquiries. Here is the procedure to transfer shares in physical form...

1. Send the share certificates along with the Share Transfer Deed (Form SH-4
available with stock exchange and brokers) duly filled in, executed and affixed
with appropriate share transfer stamps (available with authorised stamp
vendors) at 0.25% of the market value (of the scrip) on the date of execution of
the transfer deed. Self certified copy of the PAN Card of the transferee(s) needs
to be submitted along with the instrument(s) of transfer and Stamp duty has to
be affixed.

Since 1 July 2002, Maharashtra government has banned sale and use of share
transfer stamps and mandated franking for such deeds. This facility was
available at Bank of India branch in BSE building. However, since December
2014, this facility has been closed. Franking now happens at Town Hall General
Stamp office only or other central offices of collectorate of stamp fees within
Maharashtra State, through online registration or without online registration.
The process can be found at https://gras.mahakosh.gov.in.

a. For paying the stamp duty without registration, you can use your online bank
account. Here are the steps involved in the process...

Sub:- To Affix Special Adhesive Stamps on Share transfer form

Respected Sir,

With reference to the above mentioned subject, I have to state that I have paid
stamp duty of Rs.________________ as per MTR Challan No 6 (GRN No.
__________________________)

I hereby request you kind selves to kindly affix the requisite stamp duty on the
same.


Yours Faithfully

(Note: For Shares, stamp duty @ 0.25% of the market value or the
consideration amount (whichever is higher) should be affixed on the
instrument of transfer.)

One can submit the letter, form and receipt to the General Stamp Office
between a specific time period. The franked documents can be collected
between a specific period the next day.

Rajesh R Doshi, Senior Executive Director of NSDL said, "My understanding is
that any bank, which offers franking facility for legal documents can also
provide the same for transfer deeds. We use services of Kapol Cooperative
Bank branches at Kalbadevi and Fort for franking of legal documents. We have
inquired with them and they have confirmed that they would provide services
of franking transfer deeds for physical share transfer. Investors can approach
http://www.moneylife.in/article/fadnavis-orders-probe-into-goof-up-in-obama-dinner-invite/40303.html 5/71
7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

them. There are other banks such as Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative
(PMC) Bank and Citizen Co-operative Bank who also provide facility for
franking legal document however we have not used their facility. Investors may
inquire with them as well."

Here is the checklist for getting your deed franked
1. Covering letter to the Additional Collector Stamps. Two copies, one to submit
and second for receipt of the office and collection next day.
2. MTR 6 Challan with the GRN No if you have done e payment
3. Share transfer form
Every share transfer form that has to be franked requires the above process.

After getting the deed franked, the investor can send the share certificates
(physical shares) and the share transfer deed (in form SH-4) duly filled in and
signed to the company or registrar. It takes about 10 to 21 days to process the
transfer.

The statutory time limit fixed for completing a transfer is one month under the
Listing Agreement and two months under the Companies Act, 1956.

How to convert shares into demat form?
Dematerialisation (demat in short form) signifies conversion of a share
certificate from its present physical form to electronic form for the same
number of holding. Demat is optional and an investor can still hold shares in
physical form. However, she has to demat the shares if she wishes to sell the
same through the stock exchanges. Similarly, if an investor purchases shares,
she will get delivery of the shares in demat form.

There are two depositories, NSDL and Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL),
which hold securities of an investor in electronic form, through depository
participants (DPs). DPs provide the link between an investor and company
through the Depository.

http://www.moneylife.in/article/fadnavis-orders-probe-into-goof-up-in-obama-dinner-invite/40303.html 6/71
7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

Mr Doshi from NSDL said, physical shares can be dematerialized in the demat
account in the name(s) of share holders holding physical shares. In case, shares
are held jointly in physical form by investors, then the same can be
dematerialized by opening a demat account in joint names.

"However," he said, "as I understand, investors prefer to make use of existing
demat account held in single name by first transferring physical shares held in
joint name into single name. Transferring physical shares requires payment of
transfer fees through franking of transfer deed documents, a service investors
used to avail from BOI Shareholding. Since BOI Shareholding has now stopped
this service, investors can use franking facility provided by some banks."

Here is how you can convert your physical shares into demat...

Open a Beneficiary Account with a DP registered with SEBI and with any one
of the depositories, NSDL or CDSL.
Submit the dematerialization request form (DRF) (in triplicate) to your DP
duly filled in and signed by all the shareholders, along with share certificate(s)
and necessary documents. Ensure that the names and order of names as per
certificate(s) matches with the names and order of the names as per the DP
account.
Obtain an acknowledgement from the DP.
On receipt of DRF, the DP will generate a dematerialization request number
(DRN), which is electronically transmitted to the Company or STA through the
concerned Depository.
Simultaneously, the DP will send the physical certificate(s) with the original
DRF to the Company or STA for verification and confirmation.
The Company or STA, on receipt of DRF and share certificate(s) will process
the request. If the DRF is found to be in order, i.e. verified signature and
certificate(s), then it will electronically confirm the request.
The DP on receipt of such confirmation, will credit the account with the
shares dematerialized.
The DP will hold the shares in the dematerialised form thereafter on the
shareholders behalf and she will become beneficial owner of these

dematerialised shares.

Important points to note
1) Validity of the executed instrument of transfer:
for shares: - 60 days from the date of execution.
for debentures: - for an indefinite period
2) SEBI has notified vide its Circular No. MRD/DoP/Cir-05/2009 dated 20 May
2009 that it is mandatory for all transactions in the securities market including
transfer of shares in physical form of listed Companies to be accompanied with
copies of PAN card/s of all the transferees. Therefore attach self-certified copies
of PAN card/s of all the transferees along with the instrument of transfer
3) Keep photocopies of certificates, instrument(s) of transfer and other
documents sent by post. In case of a loss in transit, they come handy.
4) Always include your complete address along with pin code while filling in
the instrument of transfer/opening an account with a depository participant.
5) Do not send share certificates / DRF documents to the Company / Registrars
directly.

If you are aware that you have erroneously lled the wrong client ID on the DRF form,

inform your depository participant and show them your copy. In the rst place DP

should be checking the Client ID when accepting the same. There seems to be some

oversight. You must have stamped the certi cates which you surrendered also with

"surrendered for dematerialization" with the client Id which you say is right. Talk to the

DP showing your copy and see how they can help you. It is important to keep xerox

copies of everything you surrender.

You will have to check with RTA if they will oblige by taking and adhesive stamps in your

case or Company Secretary/Secretarial department of the said company. Also depends

on what is the volume of physical shares to be transferred and the market value. If under

2 lakhs it is at the discretion of the above mentioned departments and you can get their

details from BSE website and phone the concerned RTA or company department and

nd the solution.

As of now there is no set deadline for conversion from physical shares to demat. It is

voluntary, but with the digital era advancing in India it is advantageous to hold shares in

electronic form for the future. Name correction can be done via a transfer and

submitting the proof like PAN, passport etc. If there was an error while printing and

sending show the RTA or the company the xerox of the old transfer that you have

submitted and ask them how they will do it??

Hi,

I was nally able to submit the share transfer request successfully thanks to this article.

Thanks a lot for giving such an in-depth information.

I have a couple of queries though.

My transfer application has been rejected with two Objections :

1) The share certi cate has been stamped as 'Surrendered for Dematerialization'. Please renew the

Share certi cate.

2)The share transfer form SH-4 contains corrections for buyer's address. Please get the corrections

authenticated.

Although I had submitted the certi cate for DMAT, I cancelled the procedure and the certi cate is

back with me.

The questions I have regarding the objections are :

1) How do I apply for share certi cate renewal? Any separate form? What documents are required ?

2)How exactly do I get the correction authenticated? Does the buyer simply need to sign besides the

correction? Or Do I need to do any kind of attestation ?

Thanks,

Shridhar.

anyway physical shares creating problems as it is done after lapse of time.for renewal

you have to ask transfer agent or company they will tell you what is to be

done.sometimes if face value is changes then company will issue new certi cates.for any

corrections in transfer form buyer has to sign at the corrected place.you cannot submit

share certi cates to dp if it is not your name.pl.clarify people are ready to help you.

REPLY

Adi Daruwalla In Reply to Shridhar 2 years ago

This query should be raised with your Demat Bank or entity, or with your broker. What I

understand is that you tried to originally submit the shares for demat in your account.

Presuming that the demat failed you tried to transfer without getting a rematted

physical certi cate in your name???? from what i have stated the stamped certi cate

"surrendered for dematerilaization cannot be sold in physical form unless rematted with

the issuing company. Clean certi cate without the surrenderedfor demat stamp. These

facts were not included in your original query ????

Shridhar Mandke In Reply to Adi Daruwalla 2 years ago

Thanks for reply guys and sorry if I was not clear earlier !

Ok..so here it goes...

1) The share certi cate I have is of correct face value and is valid. So, no issues there.

Also, I have told buyer to sign at the corrected place...Thanks !

2)Previously, I had submitted the share certi cate for DMAT. But for some reason, the

DMAT request was rejected by DP. Now, because of that, the certi cate is back with me

but the DP stamp of "Surrendered for DMAT" is there on certi cate.

I did not know that I cannot transfer physical shares with stamped certi cate. This is the

exact reason the registrar rejected my request.

So according to your suggestion, I contacted the registrar and they told me to write an

application signed by transferor requesting renewed certi cate.

I will be doing that now..but that's what it takes ? Only an application ? No documents

required ?

Thanks,

Shridhar.

Please write when the process is completed. Because along with the application you will

transfer. Here is the procedure

Several people are still left with shares in physical format. If these are transferred in their name, they

can continue to hold them and get them dematerialised anytime they want to. What about those who

are holding shares not yet transferred in their names? One cannot sell these shares in physical forms

The person who is making the E-payment,from his concerned bank account, it can be the

person in whose names the shares are being transferred to. i.e. the Transferee.

It can also be a chartered account or a registered consultant who is doing transfer work

authorized by you on your behalf.

Hi,

As I said, I will be coming to Mumbai next week for share transfers. However, I am a bit confused about

when to go to Stamp of ce. I read the queries on article, but got lost in some technicalities. Please

Help..

For e.g. My plan is to make online stamp duty payment on say 18th June after getting rates after

3.30pm. Then on 19th June, I'll come to Mumbai, go to stamp of ce and submit transfer form for

franking between 10.30am to 1.30pm.

After franking, I wish to submit the form to company registrar in Mumbai itself on the same day (19th).

Is it possible on the same day? Or this will require another day ?

The comment says that collection happens on next day after submitting for franking. What is

collection date ?

Senior citizens, especially the ailing and semi-literate females who are holding shares in physical form

encounter a Himalayan problem FIRST in getting the Duplicate share certi cate issued if the original

paper is misplaced or lost, then the question will arise of converting in Demat ,which is relatively a

very easy procedure if one is already having a Demat a/c either with NSDL or CDSL.

One bed ridden senior citizen housewife recently discovered that she holds 100 EQ shares of Nirlon

Ltd. but could not nd he certi cate to dematerialize. A query was made to the Registrars and Transfer

Agents who furnished a long list of requirements which she is unable to ful l as under:

i)Since her signature has undergone change due to passage of time ' FRESH SIGNATURE ON THE

LEETER HEAD OF THE BANK, duly attested by the Bank Manager, with name, Authorization code

telephone no. and account number of the Investor.

ii)Original o Attested copy of FIR led with police for such loss of certi cate with details of the shares

lost serial nos. date of loss etc.

iii)INDEMNITY BOND AND AFFIDAVIT ON STAMP PAPERS OF RS. 200 & 100 RESPECTIVELY, DULY

NOTORIZED OR SIGNED BY THE MAGISTRATE.

Now while it is possible for her to submit latest signature duly attested by the bank; she is unable to

ful l other Uncalled for requirements.

AS far as Stamp Paper Af davit, Bond are concerned, our Prime Minister Modi, time and again

mentioned that this is no more necessary but a simple SELF ATTESTED document will suf ce. Now

who can prohibit the system or the Corporate companies not to insist on such STAMP PAPER SIGNED

Can any learned person or the Moneylife Foundation Help Resource team can suggest what is the

collection the next day. You have to take a rate from the BSE for your shares, that rate

which you take on a particular date after 03.30pm becomes your execution date. e.g. you

The DP is insisting on a single visit of the shareholder to prevent any type of fraudulent

demat. Sometimes there are 3 holders and order of names on certi cates and holding

pattern with DP there is a mismatch. DP supplies you a transposition form. So to avoid

any ambiguity or discrepancy in signature if your bank and DP are the same get the

signature veri ed by the bank manager once by presenting the Senior Citizen and

request him to verify the signature in the future too. (The problem is only if the Sr.

Citizen is a single holder.) The concern is more that is the Sr. Citizen alive or not.

RIL, BP to invest around Rs6,000 crore to improve gas


recovery
Moneylife Digital Team
28 January 2015

Gas output from D1 and D3 fields in KG-D6 block has fallen from about 54
mmscmd achieved in 2010-11 to just over 8 mmscmd

Reliance Industries Ltd and its partner BP Plc of UK will invest about Rs6,000
crore by 2016 to help sustain and improve recovery from the two main gas
fields in the eastern offshore KG-D6 block.

Also, the two companies are working to develop 3-4 trillion cubic feet of gas
discoveries off the east coast, BP India head Sashi Mukundan said at the India
Energy Congress on Wednesday.

He said the focus area was enhanced oil recovery as even a 1% enhancement
can add almost 8% to the existing proved reserves of India about 450 million
barrels of additional reserves.

The same goes in terms of how we can extract gas from tighter and difficult
reservoirs. Take the case of BP and RIL, an investment of Rs5,000 to Rs6,000
crore in the 2014-2016 timeframe is enabling deployment of world-leading
technologies for deep-water gas for the first time in India to sustain production
and improve recovery from the two existing fields, he said.

Gas output from Dhirubhai-1 and 3 (D1&D3) fields in KG-D6 block has fallen
from about 54 million standard cubic meters per day achieved in 2010-11 to
just over 8 mmscmd due to unexpected water and sand ingress shutting wells
after wells.

The block as well as NEC-25 off the Odisha has many discoveries which the two
firms are focussing on.

7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

We have 3-4 tcf of discoveries in new fields that we are working to develop in
the next several years, he said.

He said the government needs to support and unshackle industry to attract
players to participate in this very capital intensive and risky business.

The government, he said, needs to play a key role as an enabler, and provide
flexibility and space for participants to work at scale and build competitiveness.

Globally, this is an industry which is used to assuming large risks including
market risk and managing without any Government support, he said while
calling for an enabling policy and regulatory environment including the
freedom to market and price, with minimum intervention.

In fact, it is well appreciated that the government assumes zero risk but
benefits through taxes, royalty and profit share, in addition to the economic and
developmental benefits to the nation, he said.

Indias energy consumption is rising faster than any other nation
hydrocarbon needs are expected to rise by 120% to more than 1,100 million
tonnes of oil equivalent by 2035.

The country needs to choose its options and align its energy mix wisely, he
said, adding the Indian oil and gas sector is rich with opportunity and can
attract many potential takers.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who missed a dinner date with

behind the invite not reaching him in time, though it was received at
Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi over a week before the event.

The invitation was received on 17th January. The official concerned sent it to

The resident commissioner at Delhi has been asked to send a detailed report.
Action will be taken as per rules, he said.

Vanishing companies and the unending ght of investors to


recover money
Virendra Jain
12 January 2015
31

More than 3,000 listed companies have disappeared over the years. Even after a
massive exercise and expenses, by the executive, Parliament and High Court's
order, investors continue to be in a lurch

Over the last two decades, hundreds of companies that have vanished after
picking up hundreds of crores of rupees from investors. And despite, direction
from High Court some 15 years back, none of the investors have received a
single penny. Hearing a public interest litigation (PIL), the Allahabad High
Court had also directed the central government to set up a joint co-ordination
and monitoring committee (CMC) to identify companies, which had
disappeared after raising money from public issues and recover money from
them.

Later, the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) also took up this issue and in its
report to the Parliament in 2002, recommended: What the Committee are
seriously concerned is about how the investors may get their money back from
the vanishing companies. The Committee urge that Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI), the (then) Department of Corporate Affairs (MCA),
Company Law Board (CLB) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should work
seriously towards achieving this objective and take all necessary steps, including
attachment of properties of directors of vanishing companies.

The Allahabad HC order approved that the CMC would settle the policy issues
regarding the delinquent companies/ promoters and would monitor the
progress in regard to the action. The Secretary, DCA (now Ministry of Corporate
Affairs) and Chairman of SEBI would be the co-chairman of the CMC and senior
officials of DCA and SEBI would be other members.

7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

Seven Task Forces, comprising of Regional Director/ Registrars of Companies


(ROC), SEBI and stock exchange officials, would assist the CMC and identify
companies which have disappeared or which have mis-utilised the funds
mobilised from the public and suggest appropriate action in terms of the
Companies Act and SEBI Act after necessary investigations.

Formed in 1999, the CMC identified 238 vanishing companies: 229 by March
2001 and another nine in 2007. All 238 companies initial public offerings
(IPOs) were issued during 1992 to 1999.

The JPCs attention was drawn on vanishing companies by Midas Touch during
its deposition. In its report submitted to the Parliament in 2002, JPC stated:

14.28 Pointing out that investors have lost confidence due to the happenings in
the last decade in the stock market, a representative of Midas Touch Investors
Association (Virendra Jain) cited the case of vanishing companies and said:

In the years immediately after liberalization, 1.5 crore new investors, small
investors as we call them, came into the market between 1992 and 1996
through IPOs. They were duped. At that time Rs86,000 crore were raised in
four years through public issues and right issues by four thousand odd
companies. Most of these 1.5 crore investors who came in for the first time in
the stock market were duped Till date 229 companies (only) have been
identified by the Government appointed monitoring committee, as having made
public issues and disappeared. No one has been arrested and no money has
been recovered. There has not been even an action plan as to how to recover
that money.

JPC report further stated:
11.42 The Committee note that the action by SEBI and DCA has enabled the
tracing of 160 out of 229 companies which were earlier treated as vanished.
There are still 69 companies, which remain untraced.

Since then, the issue of vanishing companies has been raised during the
Question Hour of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over 150 times. The data given
in the replies has virtually been the same!

(On Midas Touch request, it was raised for the first time on 20 December 1996
in the Lok Sabha question no. 4432 by Capt. Jagat Vir Singh Drona, MP from
Kanpur:
"The number of companies, which made their public issue in 1992 and onwards
and are not traceable?" The minister replied that the information is being
collected and shall be submitted in due course.)

The latest written replies to un-starred question (no.415) in Lok Sabha on 11
July 2014 by Nirmala Sitharaman, the Minister of State for Finance and
Corporate Affairs and to un-starred question (no.1741) in Rajya Sabha on 9
December 2014 by Arun Jaitley, Minister of Corporate Affairs were identical.
As per practice of last 12 years, the data of vanishing companies given to
Parliament is same: Companies Identified initially: 229 & 238 (since 2007) &
Vanishing: 69 and 78(since 2007). The replies were:

(a) A total of 238 companies which had raised funds through Public issues were
initially identified as vanishing companies as they had stopped filing
documents/ balance sheets with the regulators and were untraceable. Out of
these, 128 companies were removed from this category and placed under a
watch list, as these companies had started filing their documents/ balance
sheets, etc. In addition, 32 companies are presently under liquidation. Thus, as
on date, there are 78 companies, which remain in the list of vanishing
companies.

Besides the question hour, vanishing companies issue was on the agenda of
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance for over 10 years and discussed
at length in their meetings. The CMC and Task Forces cumulatively have
conducted over 150 meetings between 1999 and 2013.

http://www.moneylife.in/article/fadnavis-orders-probe-into-goof-up-in-obama-dinner-invite/40303.html 42/71
7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

Further, Midas Touch had submitted three lists totalling 913 companies for
inclusion in vanishing companies list after examination: 161 companies in
2012, 604 and 148 companies in earlier lists, which the CMC in its minutes of
meetings, held in 2006 and 2007, stated that over 50 companies have been
identified for inclusion and rest are under examination. However, we never got
any response and none of the company added subsequently in the list. We
estimate that over three thousand listed companies have disappeared.

Then why, at the end of the day, after such a massive exercise and expenses, by
the executive, parliament and High Courts order does CMC have so little to
show? In terms of (a) number of vanishing companies identified and (b)
recovery of money siphoned off and return to its shareholders?

Firstly, CMC and Task Forces constitutes, with few exceptions, of those whose
failure - to monitor listed companies and enforce law- enabled predatory
promoters companies to vanish. The Allahabad High Court trust in CMC was
misplaced. Supreme Court has followed different principle-entrusting the probe
to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and or Special Investigation Team
(SIT)- in recent scams and it has yielded results e.g. In Saradha scam, arrests of
those suspected of aiding, abetting and sharing the booty with scamsters and
recovery of money looted has begun.

Second, in a democracy, it is the Parliaments, and not Judiciaries, prerogative
and constitutional obligation to keep an oversight over the executive.

Oversight of the executive is one of the important function entrusted to
Parliament under the Indian Constitution. This enables the Parliament to hold
government accountable and prevent unconstitutional policies and action on
part of the government.
To carry out this task effectively, Parliament has two crucial instruments at its
disposal viz. (a) Questions and Debates in the Parliament and (b)
Parliamentary Committees which can scrutinise government policies and
action.

7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

However, answers given, in the question hour, and, discussions on


Parliamentary Committees, on vanishing companies- spread over last twelve
years- has exposed the fundamental shortcomings of system and processes
adopted for parliamentary oversight of the executive. Resultantly, it has made
Parliament largely dysfunctional on this score.
Wide-ranging reforms are required for an effective parliamentary oversight
(which may be dealt in next article). These include, but the suggestions are not
limited to:

Reforming Question Hour processes: Apprising the concerned MP, in advance,
of the
background of the issue raised and answers given, if any, in last two years of the
question raised.

Parliamentary Committee meetings: Be open to public; Institutional
mechanism be evolved for public and NGOs participation along with concerned
officials/executive.

Introducing oversight on Regulators: Presently, regulators are not directly
accountable to the parliament. Mechanism for transparent oversight of
regulators should be prescribed for institutionalising all stakeholders
participation.

(Virendra Jainis Founder & President of Midas Touch Investors Association and
had filed a litigation on the Rs1 lakh crore loss to investors on account of
suspended companies and has also intervened in the PIL against SEBIs consent
orders which let off law breakers with a small fine)

As far as I understand, No association works for public at all. Kirit Somaya also had been approached

many years bacn but no body did so far.

This reminds me a CERC in Ahmedabad . WHo had been given one case of Amin Auti , Bajaj Dealer .

Who was delivering the scooters without paying octroi to the persons residing in side city limit!!!!.

Those who claiming actual living out side octroi limit were charged Octroi!!! It was intimated to Bajaj

AUto also no action so far for all these years.Gandhian Culture of Bajaj Faminly???!!!!I was told by

Amin Auto to take Ocroi charges for me only. The others in que were of more than 50000 persons and

I did not compromise the case . Finally summoned up and dismissed by Consumer Forum!!!!

Associations can guide you, but most do not have the money to ght your battle.

Also, the middle class does not donate, so "associations" cannot get any stronger or

more resourceful.

We do tell people how not to lose money -- and those are FREE seminars. But guess

what, only a tiny percentage of people want to attend and learn how to avoid mistakes.

Otherwise we should have a few lakh members!!

MDT In Reply to Bhagywant Daphale 2 years ago

Thanks for your comment.

At Moneylife, we warn people that money invested in any company for 'double return' in

shortest time or in corporate FDs, is unsecured and not 100% safe. We tell 'investors' to

look at credit ratings and only invest in AAA rated companies and not be greedy for 1%

or 2% more or fall prey for quick, double money schemes by ponzi or chain money

operators.

Any entity, be it a company as you like to call it, or an individual, who collects money

from 'investors' with a promise to give extraordinary returns (in any form) needs to

obtain proper registration and other permissions from regulators like SEBI and RBI.

Do you know, all MLMs and ponzi schemes work on geometric expansion? For instance

one gets ten sponsor to sponsor another ten and so on. The fraudsters call it expanding

matrix (!) that gives corresponding kick-backs at various levels. The problem with

pyramid schemes is simple math and common sense. At a mere three levels deep, there

would be 1,000 people, while at six levels deep there would be 10 lakh people believing

that they can make a 'fortune' and 'achieve a dream' by mere selling.

Moneylife Foundation has also been repeatedly writing to the RBI to act against MLM

companies, because they cannot possibly transfer pro ts out of India without

permission from the banking regulator. Over the past ve of its existence, Moneylife

Foundation has conducted over 200 nancial literacy seminars. Each of our core literacy

7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

modules warns investors against investing in multi-level marketing schemes which offer

extraordinary returns linked to the enrollment of more members.

And if you, yourself is not careful about 'investing' your hard earned money, why should

anyone be blamed? Have you ever asked, SEBI or RBI or any publishing house before

putting your hard earned money in the company to get quick and double returns? Then

why blame regulators and media? Remember, media, like Moneylife, is just a messenger,

in the sense it has not ordered the company to shut its business, it is the job of

regulators, the adjudicating authority.

Hope people like you would be more careful next time while 'investing' your hard earned

money for receiving extraordinary return without checks with the regulators.

Thanks again

As fa as vanishing companies are concern, nothing concrete has been done. I know few

moving in Merc.,staying in a posh locality and childerns are studying abroad!

Now insteed of VANISHING companies, a new trend is seen. A company makes a public

issue at a hafty premium say at Rs.100 and slowly and slowly the prize of share goes

down because it starts making losses and ultimately it reaches Rs.2. I feel SEBI should

order Forensic Audit in all such cases where the prices have gone down by 70 to 90

percent. Above all these, nancial literacy is MUST for all the investors in which MONEY

What are Bonus Debentures?


CA. Simardeep Singh
26 December 2014

Bonus Debentures were first issued by Hindustan Lever Ltd. way back in 2001,
and since then only six other companies have issued bonus debentures, the
latest being NTPC. What are these instruments?

The Board of Directors of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Ltd. at
its meeting held on December 23, 2014, has approved a Scheme of
Arrangement for the issuance of secured fully paid-up bonus debentures of face
value of Rs12.50 each against every equity share of Rs10. In a first by a Public

http://www.moneylife.in/article/fadnavis-orders-probe-into-goof-up-in-obama-dinner-invite/40303.html 57/71
7/4/2017 Fadnavis orders probe into goof-up in Obama dinner invite

Sector Undertaking, NTPC has proposed to reward its shareholders through an


innovative way of issuing bonus debentures. However, this innovative reward is
seldom used by Indian companies. Bonus Debentures were first proposed to be
issued by Hindustan Lever Ltd. way back in 2001, and since then only six other
companies have issued bonus debentures. What are bonus debentures?

As the name suggests, a bonus debenture denotes a debenture issued as a bonus
to the eligible shareholders, that will entail a certain interest payment on
periodical basis and will be redeemable after a fixed duration as may be
decided by the company. Accordingly, an issue of bonus debentures turns
accumulated free reserves into debt for the company.

Bonus Debentures v/s Dividend: While approval of dividend results in
immediate cash outflow to the company, issue of bonus debentures defers the
same.

Bonus Debentures v/s Bonus Shares: Issue of bonus shares does not alter the
net worth of the company, whereas issue of bonus debentures results in
decrease in equity and a corresponding increase in debt. This results in increase
in the debt equity ratio of the company. Further, bonus shares do not involve
any cash outlay. But bonus debentures involve outflows in the form of dividend
distribution tax, periodical interest and outflow towards redemption of bonus
debentures.

How does it impact Shareholders? As said above, issue of bonus debentures
does not result in immediate receipt of cash by the shareholder. However, since
these bonus debentures are generally listed on recognized stock exchanges,
shareholders can sell these in secondary market. Going by the latest issued
bonus debentures by Blue Dart Express Ltd. with coupon rate of 9.50% p.a. and
redeemable after 5 years, it is being traded at Rs10.20 at BSE as against face
value of Rs10. Hence, the shareholder would be able to pocket another gain of
Rs0.20 per debenture by selling it in secondary market.

Further, since the issue of bonus debentures is treated as deemed dividend


under the Income Tax Act, 1961, the company has to pay Dividend Distribution
Tax on the face value of the debentures issued. Accordingly, the shareholder
does not have to pay any further tax on the face value of debentures issued to
him. However, the annual interest receipt and capital gain on sale of debentures
(over and above the face value) shall be taxable in the hands of the
shareholders.

Why is not Popular? Despite all the inherent advantages of bonus debentures
for the shareholder as well as the company, it is not a popular instrument. This
is due to the fact that the issue of bonus debentures is not expressly covered
under provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 or the Companies Act, 2013.
Bonus debentures are therefore issued as a scheme of the arrangement under
Section 391 to Section 394 of the Companies Act 1956 which involves
procuring approvals of shareholders, High Court, Reserve Bank etc. Hence, the
use of this way to reward shareholders gets discouraged due to lengthy and
time consuming procedures.

Having come this far, it is really hoped that Companies Act also captures this
innovative financial instrument soon and makes the process simpler for the
companies. Till then, lets celebrate the issue of bonus debentures by NTPC. Any
bonus is a good bonus, after all!

SBI launches economic index

The short-term report, to be released in the first week of every month by SBI,
will forecast the state of the economy two months down the line

The State Bank of India will use its loan book to give indicators on the domestic
manufacturing activity from January 2015.

The SBI Composite Index will have both monthly and yearly indices. The short-
term report, to be released in the first week of every month, will forecast the
state of the economy two months down the line. The annual index will make
year-on-year forward predictions.

Economic forecasts published by British lender HSBC, with global business
survey compiler Markit, are the HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers
Index (PMI), HSBC India Manufacturing PMI and the Markit India Business
Outlook.

Soumya Kanti Ghosh, chief economic advisor at SBIs economic research
department, said that SBIs figures are not intended to rival HSBCs numbers.
However, during the eight years of back-testing (2007-2014), the SBI index
accurately predicted economic direction 72% of the time while the PMI had a
50% strike rate.

The SBI will also use public data on industrial production, international trade,
commodity prices and current and futures prices in the stock markets to
forecast possible expansion or contraction of the economy.

To represent the manufacturing sector, SBI will use the monthly Index of
Industrial Production data rather than GDP figures, which are released ever
quarter. The SBI index is built to be conservative yet robust in its forecast.

The HSBC manufacturing index is based on data compiled from replies to
questionnaires sent out to purchasing executives in around 500 manufacturing
companies, covering factors such as new orders, purchases, output and delivery
time. Like the HSBC indices, the SBI index is built on a scale of 0 to 100, with a
number above 50 indicating growth over the corresponding pervious period and
a number below 50 suggesting contraction.

Arundhati Bhattacharya, chairperson and managing director, SBI, said that the
index
will take into account the credit demand and other indicators of economic
activity like consumer spending, mining activity, interest rates, inflation,
exchange rate and other thematic indices and service and manufacturing
activities.
