WHEREAS, as per sub-section (8) of Section 148 of the Act, "If any default is made in complying with the provisions of this section, the company and every officer of the company who is in default shall be punishable in the manner as provided in sub-section (1) of section 147; the cost auditor of the company who is in default shall be punishable in the manner as provided in sub-sections (2) to (4) of section 147."
3. Now, therefore the addressees, being the Company and its officers, are hereby called upon to show cause as to why action shall not be taken to initiate prosecution under clause (a) of sub-section (8) of Section 148 read with section 147(1) of the Act for contravention of section 148(6) of the Act read with sub-rule (5) and (6) of Rule 6 of the Rules.

GST is aligned with the cost audit and only smooth implementation of cost audit provisions and expansion of cost audit regime can help the companies to demand for the due share under GST in the form of reduced rates and the government based on the authentic data can take calls under GST regime with regard to anti-profiteering, valuations etc.

Can any one guide whether FLA is required to be filed in case of issuance of convertible notes to a foreign shareholder?
CN holder doesn't hold any equity share. He has invested only in CN on non-repatriation basis.

In case of private placement which is also a downstream investment as per FEMA. We have taken valuation from reg. valuer+ CA which is 5 months old... shareholders approved private placement basis this valuation and the same is filed with ROC.
In RBI filing the said valuation report being old than 90 days we may expect rejection from RBI and in such case we may take another valuation with current date only for filing purpose.
Please let me know if there is anything wrong in this practice. As per my view we don't need to link valuation requirements of both the laws. And can have separate valuation filed with different authorities. Please advise.

Please confirm company can take unsecured loan from the directors and there relatives with zero rate of interest right ?
But while accepting deposit from directors, they must give a declaration to the company that the amount is their own money and not borrowed.
Please confirm if anything else need to be done ?
