### Shah Rukh Khan’s Dubai Villa Tax Case: What It Means for Indian Residents Owning Foreign Property

A recent ruling by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in India involving Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has shed light on a significant aspect of Indian tax law—the taxation of income from overseas properties.

The ITAT held that notional rental income from Khan’s luxury villa in Dubai is taxable in India. The decision provides a clear reminder to Indian residents that global income is not outside the purview of Indian tax authorities, and merely owning a property abroad does not shield one from Indian income tax obligations.

Let’s break down what happened in the case and explore the broader legal and practical implications.

🔍 Background of the Case

Shah Rukh Khan was gifted a villa in Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah in 2007 by Nakheel PJSC, a government-owned developer in the UAE. The property remained unoccupied and was not rented out. However, the Indian tax authorities added a notional rental value to Khan’s income, arguing that income should be imputed from ownership even if no rent was actually received.

Khan contested the addition, arguing that:

 	The property was a gift, not an income-generating asset.
 	No income accrued to him, as the property was not let out.
 	Under the India–UAE Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), the UAE had the taxing rights over the property.

The ITAT, however, ruled in favor of the Indian tax department.

🧾 Key Legal Principles Applied

 	 Residential Status Determines Global Taxability

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, the taxability of income depends significantly on the residential status of the individual:

 	Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR): Taxed on global income, including income from foreign sources.
 	Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) and Non-Resident (NR): Taxed only on income that is received in India or accrues/arises in India.

In this case, Shah Rukh Khan was held to be a Resident and Ordinarily Resident in India during the assessment year. Hence, his global income—including notional income from property located abroad—was taxable in India.

 	 Deemed or Notional Rent

The concept of deemed rental income means that a property—whether occupied, vacant, or not generating rent—may still be considered as yielding income under Indian tax law, specifically under Section 23(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act.

This applies even more stringently to vacant foreign properties owned by Indian residents. If not occupied for business or self-residence, a notional rental value may be added to income.

 	 DTAA Interpretation

Article 6 of the India–UAE DTAA states that income from immovable property may be taxed in the country where the property is located. Shah Rukh Khan’s legal team argued that this article provides exclusive taxing rights to the UAE.

However, the CBDT Circular No. 789 (2000) and subsequent judicial precedents have clarified that the term “may be taxed” does not grant exclusive taxing rights to the other country. Instead, it gives both countries the right to tax. In the absence of any personal income tax in the UAE, India’s right to tax prevails.

💡 Key Takeaways for Indian Taxpayers

This case offers several important lessons, especially for Indian residents with overseas assets:

✅ 1. Disclose Foreign Assets and Income

Indian residents are mandated to disclose foreign assets and income in their Income Tax Return (ITR), specifically in Schedule FA (Foreign Assets). Non-disclosure can attract penalties under the Black Money Act, 2015, and other enforcement actions.

✅ 2. Notional Rent Is Not Just Domestic

Even if your overseas property is vacant, the Indian tax department may impute notional rental income if you're a ROR. The assumption is that the property has an income potential that should be taxed unless valid exceptions apply.

✅ 3. DTAAs Have Limits

Many individuals incorrectly assume that a DTAA provides a blanket exemption. However, most DTAAs allow for shared taxing rights. If the foreign country doesn’t levy income tax, India has the right to do so as the resident country.

✅ 4. Gifted Properties Are Not Automatically Exempt

Even if a property is received as a gift, any future income or deemed income from it may be taxed. Gift tax exemptions are distinct from ongoing income tax obligations.

📌 Final Thoughts

The Shah Rukh Khan ruling serves as a wake-up call for many Indian residents with properties or investments abroad, specially countries with lower tax rates than India or nil taxation implications. 

Indian tax residents must now factor in not only actual foreign income but also notional income from properties, and evaluate the applicability of DTAAs in detail - especially when those countries, like the UAE, do not have personal income tax.

### Pre-Funding vs Post-Funding Valuation: Key Differences Explained

Valuation is a key term in today’s dynamic business ecosystem. It is used to determine the future of your company and the interest it generates among your potential investors.

Valuation term is commonly used for startups and investments. Many startups and businesses thus work with the best business valuation services for startups to know the accurate valuation of their venture.

However, it is important to understand the two commonly used terms in startup financing. They are the pre-funding valuation and the post-funding valuation. They are also referred to as pre-money and post-money valuations.

Understanding the differences between the two is important for entrepreneurs, investors and stakeholders. The dedicated business valuation services for startups will help their clients in the valuation process and also guide them on how they impact funding rounds and equity ownership.
What is Pre-Funding Valuation?
The pre-funding valuation is the estimated value of the startup or company before it reviews any new external investment or funding. This valuation reflects the worth of the business based on its current assets, performance, potential, intellectual property, market opportunity and team capacities. This method does not account for any newly raised capital.

Working with dedicated startup valuation services will help companies understand the key factors influencing the valuation. The factors include

 	Revenue or early traction
 	Market size and opportunity
 	Competitive edge or unique valuation proposition
 	Quality and experience of the founding team
 	Business Model and Scalability Potential

The pre-funding valuation will be used by your potential investors to determine how much equity they will get in exchange for the amount invested by them in your venture.
What is Post-Funding Valuation?
Post-funding valuation refers to the value of the company after it receives a new round of investment. It includes pre-funding valuation plus newly added capital from the investors. The best business valuation services calculate this figure using the formula-

Post-Money Valuation = Pre-Money Valuation + New Investment Amount
This value sets the ownership percentage for both the founders and the new investors.
Difference between Pre-Funding and Post-Funding Valuation

 	The pre-money valuation is done before receiving a new investment and the post-money is done after receiving a new investment.
 	Professional business valuation firms do the pre-funding valuation on the basis of business fundamentals and the growth potential of the company. For post-funding, the service providers’ use adds the pre-funding valuation with the external capital raised.
 	The pre-money valuation is used for negotiating investment deals. For the post-money valuation, they determine investor equity.
 	The pre-funding determines dilution based on the new investment. The post-funding reflects the updated ownership structure.

Why is it important to understand the differences between the two valuation methods?

 	Equity Dilution: Understanding the valuation structure will help startups and businesses predict how much of their company they are giving away. A higher pre-money valuation means less dilution for existing shareholders.
 	Negotiating Power: Businesses and startups with a robust market presence or technology may negotiate a higher pre-money valuation to retain more ownership.
 	Investor ROI: Investors use post-money valuation to ascertain their ROI during exit events like IPOs or acquisitions.
 	Future Rounds: Pre-money valuations in subsequent funding rounds, build upon the post-money valuation of the previous round. Thus working with professional Business valuation experts for small businesses is important for accurate valuation metrics enabling long-term planning.

Determining the right Valuation for your business?

 	Comparable Company Analysis: In this method, the professional business valuation for service-based businesses begins the process by studying valuations of similar companies in your niche.
 	Discounted Cash Flow Method: This method is useful for mature companies with predictable revenues.
 	Scorecard Method: The experts use this valuation method for early-stage startups. They score key factors like team, prototype, product, market size and more.
 	Investor Negotiations: Sometimes the valuation is decided purely on the basis of what the potential investors are willing to pay.

Hiring an affordable business valuation service provider will help you opt for the right method for your company or startup.
How professional business valuation service providers will help you in the pre-funding or post-funding valuations?

 	The experts provide an unbiased and data-driven valuation, helping you avoid overestimation or under-pricing of your venture.
 	The professional service providers understand the market trends, comparable transactions and investor expectations ensuring realistic valuations.
 	They use accurate financial models like financial forecasting, discounted cash flow models and market comps to project value accurately in both pre-money and post-money stages.
 	A professionally prepared valuations report adds credibility and transparency increasing the investor trust and negotiation strength.
 	The service providers help calculate how much equity to give up during the funding rounds, reducing unwanted dilution.
 	They help in preparing detailed documents and justifications required during investor due diligence.

Understanding the common compliance mistakes helps businesses to conduct smooth and legally sound fundraising activities.

 	Not registering with relevant authorities: Many businesses fail to register with the relevant regulatory authorities before seeking funds. For instance, NGOs need to be registered under the Societies Registration Act, of 1860, the Trust Act, of 1882 or the Companies Act, of 2013 before they can legally raise funds. Startups and private companies have to adhere to the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) regulations if they are seeking public investments. Before fundraising, the businesses must ensure they are registered under the correct legal structure. If they are a non-profit entity, the business must be registered under the correct act according to their goals. If you are a Company seeking investment make sure it is compliant with the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI’s fundraising guidelines.
 	Violating FEMA Regulations: Many organizations raise foreign funds without adhering to FEMA and FCRA norms. FCRA registration is important for the NGOs receiving foreign donations. If the business violates FEMA norms, they invite legal action and cancellation of licenses. NGOs receiving foreign contributions must register under the FCRA Act. The businesses receiving foreign investments must adhere to FEMA regulations and ensure proper reporting to the RBI. They must maintain accurate records of all foreign transactions and report them to the Ministry of Home Affairs and RBI as required.
 	Non-Compliance with SEBI regulations for equity Crowd-Funding: The most common mistake that most startups make when raising funds through crowd-funding is not following SEBI’s guidelines. SEBI prohibits retail investors from participating in equity crowd-funding and allows funding through recognized investors like VCs and Angel Investors. It is advised not to use unauthorized crowd-funding platforms for equity fundraising. The businesses need to ensure all their fundraising campaigns follow SEBI’s alternative investment fund guidelines. If businesses are using a private platform, they must ensure not to solicit funds from more than 200 investors, as per the Companies Act 2013 regulations.
 	Lack of proper documentation and agreements: One of the biggest mistakes that startups and other business organizations make in raising funds is there is no proper documentation like shareholder’s agreements, term sheets, and investor’s rights agreements. It is advisable to work with a professional financial expert who will prepare a comprehensive term sheet highlighting the fundraising terms. It is important to have a legal agreement vetted by a lawyer to avoid future disputes. The businesses need to maintain records of all transactions, investor commitments, and obligations according to the Income Tax Act and Companies Act.
 	Non-Disclosure of Fund Utilization: One of the main legal requirements of fundraising in India is to disclose how the funds raised will be utilized. Many organizations fail to disclose how they utilize the raised funds. The entities must hire an experienced and certified accountant who will help maintain transparent financial records and submit reports to the investors and regulators. If you are an NGO it is important to adhere to 80G and 12 A certification requirements for tax exemptions and disclose fund utilization regularly. The companies must follow the SEBI’s disclosure norms for investments and financial statements.
 	Ignoring income tax regulations on fundraising: Many NGOs and startups fail to comply with income tax laws on investments and donations. For instance, Sector 56 (2) of the Income Tax Act states that the funds received above the fair market value of the shares may be taxed as Income from Other Sources. Businesses must ensure that fundraising valuations are backed by professional reports from registered valuers or chartered accountants. If they are raising funds through angel investors, they must ensure that the fund is raised according to the Angel Tax Provisions. They also have to file the necessary declarations with the Income Tax Department. NGOs need to apply for 12A and 80G registration to avail tax benefits on donations.
 	Improper Structuring of Fundraising Instruments: The Corporate fundraising compliance guidelines India require proper structuring of the fundraising instruments. Businesses make the common mistake of using the wrong financial instruments such as convertible debentures, preference shares or loans without proper structuring. This can result in tax inefficiencies and legal issues. It is advisable to work with a professional financial expert before issuing shares or debt instruments. If raising debt, the business must adhere to the RBI and Companies Act regulations. If a company issues shares, it is important to ensure proper valuation and investor agreements.
 	Non-Compliance with KYC: Many fundraising efforts fail to conduct due diligence on the investors, leading to potential money laundering or fraudulent activities. SEBI and RBI have strict KYC and Anti Money Laundering compliance for financial transactions. To avoid this mistake, businesses must conduct in-depth due diligence on donors and investors. They have to implement KYC norms by verifying the identity and source of funds. Any suspicious transaction is to be reported as per Financial Intelligence Unit guidelines.
 	Failing to file annual returns and compliance reports: Many businesses, especially startups and NGOs fail to the annual compliance reports with the SEBI, MCA or Income Tax Department, leading to fines and loss of credibility. It is important to file annual financial statements and compliance reports on time. A company need to submit annual returns to MCA and must adhere to the Registrar of Companies regulations. The NGOs must file FCRA annual returns and disclose their financials publicly if required.
 	Non-Compliance with digital fundraising laws: Businesses must adhere to the digital legal frameworks when raising funds through digital platforms like online donations, and crowd-funding. If there are non-compliant digital fundraising laws, businesses will have to face penalties. To avoid these mistakes only SEBI-registered crowd-funding platforms must be used for fund-raising. It is important to ensure compliance with the IT Act 2000 when collecting funds online.

### Essential Registrations for Commencing a Business in India

Introduction
Embarking on the entrepreneurial journey in India involves a series of essential steps, with business registrations being a critical aspect. The regulatory landscape is designed to provide a structured foundation, ensuring legal compliance and facilitating a smooth business operation. In this article, we'll explore the fundamental registrations required for starting a business in India.
Obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
The digital signature certificate is a secure digital key that facilitates the online filing of documents. It is a prerequisite for many online transactions and filings with regulatory authorities. Obtaining a DSC is crucial for entrepreneurs who plan to engage in e-governance initiatives.
Director Identification Number (DIN)
Before incorporating a company, individuals intending to become directors must obtain a Director Identification Number. The DIN is a unique identification number assigned to a director, which is used in various regulatory documents and filings.
Reservation of Company Name
Selecting an appropriate and unique name for the company is an important step. Entrepreneurs need to apply to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for the reservation of the chosen name. It is advisable to ensure that the proposed name complies with the naming guidelines outlined by the MCA.
Incorporation of the Company
For formalizing the business structure, entrepreneurs can choose from various forms of business entities such as a Private Limited Company, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), or One Person Company (OPC). The company incorporation process involves submitting necessary documents, including the company's Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA).
PAN and TAN
Obtaining a Permanent Account Number (PAN) for the company is mandatory. PAN is used for various taxation purposes, including opening a bank account and filing income tax returns. Additionally, businesses that are liable to deduct tax at source need to obtain a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN).
Goods and Services Tax (GST) Registration
GST is a unified tax system that replaced various indirect taxes. All businesses with a turnover exceeding the prescribed threshold are required to register for GST. This registration is crucial for businesses engaged in the supply of goods and services.
Employee Provident Fund (EPF) and Employee State Insurance (ESI)
If the business is expected to have employees, registering for EPF and ESI is essential. EPF is a retirement benefits scheme, and ESI provides medical and cash benefits to employees. Both registrations are mandatory for businesses meeting the eligibility criteria.
Professional Tax Registration
Professional tax is a state-level tax levied on income earned by professionals and employees in various trades and professions. Depending on the state, businesses may need to register and comply with professional tax regulations.
Conclusion
Navigating the regulatory landscape for starting a business in India involves a sequence of crucial registrations. From securing a digital signature to obtaining necessary tax registrations, each step is integral to establishing a legal and compliant business entity. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to seek professional guidance to ensure a seamless registration process, allowing them to focus on building and growing their ventures without regulatory impediments. As India continues to streamline its business registration processes, the journey for entrepreneurs is becoming more accessible, promoting a vibrant and diverse business ecosystem.

It involves making informed decisions that optimize the use of financial resources, mitigate risks, and maximize profitability. This article explores key aspects of financial management and provides strategies for making sound financial decisions that drive company growth and success.
Financial Planning and Budgeting
Financial planning forms the foundation of sound financial management. It involves setting short-term and long-term financial goals, forecasting revenues and expenses, and creating a budget that aligns with the company's objectives. A well-defined budget helps allocate resources efficiently, monitor performance, and make informed decisions based on financial targets.
Capital Budgeting and Investment Decisions
Companies often face investment opportunities, such as expansion projects or new product launches. Effective capital budgeting entails evaluating these investment options by considering factors such as return on investment (ROI), risk analysis, and payback period. Techniques like net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) help assess the financial viability of investment projects and guide decision-making.
Working Capital Management
Maintaining adequate working capital is vital for the smooth operation of a company. Effective working capital management involves managing cash flow, inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. By optimizing working capital, companies can avoid liquidity issues, reduce borrowing costs, and ensure sufficient funds for day-to-day operations and growth opportunities.
Financial Risk Management
Companies operate in an environment with various financial risks, including market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, and credit risks. Implementing risk management strategies, such as diversification, hedging, and insurance, can help mitigate these risks. By identifying and managing potential financial threats, companies can protect their financial health and enhance their ability to make strategic decisions.
Cost Control and Expense Management
Controlling costs and managing expenses is essential for maintaining profitability. Companies should regularly analyze their cost structures, identify areas of inefficiency, and implement cost-saving measures. This includes optimizing procurement processes, negotiating favorable supplier contracts, and adopting cost-effective technologies. Effective expense management ensures that financial resources are utilized efficiently and can be allocated to value-adding activities.
Financial Reporting and Analysis
Accurate and timely financial reporting provides crucial information for decision-making. Companies should maintain robust accounting systems and produce comprehensive financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. Financial analysis tools, such as ratio analysis and trend analysis, enable companies to assess performance, identify strengths and weaknesses, and make informed decisions based on financial insights.
Long-term Financial Strategy
Developing a long-term financial strategy aligns the company's financial objectives with its overall business strategy. This includes considerations of capital structure, dividend policy, and financing options. Companies should evaluate the optimal mix of debt and equity financing, determine appropriate dividend payout ratios, and plan for future capital needs. A well-defined long-term financial strategy provides a roadmap for sustainable growth and helps guide critical financial decisions.
Conclusion

### Crucial Role of Co-Founders Agreements for Startups

Introduction:
In the dynamic world of startups, where innovation and ambition converge, the journey from idea to success is often marked by collaboration and shared vision. At the heart of this collaborative effort are the founders – individuals who bring their unique skills, expertise, and passion to transform a concept into a viable business. While the initial excitement of launching a startup can be exhilarating, it is essential for founders to lay a strong foundation for their partnership through a well-structured co-founders agreement. This document serves as a blueprint for the startup's future, mitigating risks and fostering a harmonious working relationship.
Understanding Co-Founders Agreements
A Co-founders agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions of collaboration between the startup's founders. It encompasses a wide range of key aspects, including the division of responsibilities, ownership percentages, decision-making processes, equity distribution, dispute resolution mechanisms, and exit strategies. By formalizing these elements from the outset, co-founders agreements provide clarity, transparency, and protection for all parties involved.
Importance of Co-Founders Agreements
Clarity and Expectations:
A well-drafted co-founders agreement sets clear expectations for each founder's role, responsibilities, and contributions. It prevents misunderstandings and minimizes the risk of conflicts arising due to differing assumptions about individual duties and contributions.
Equity Allocation:
Equity distribution is a critical consideration for any startup. A co-founders agreement outlines how ownership will be divided among the founders, preventing future disputes over shares and ensuring that each individual's contributions are fairly recognized.
Decision-Making Framework:
Startups often encounter a plethora of decisions that can significantly impact their trajectory. A co-founders agreement establishes a framework for making key decisions, ensuring that the process is efficient, fair, and aligned with the startup's goals.
Conflict Resolution:
Even the most cohesive partnerships may encounter disagreements. A co-founders agreement includes provisions for resolving conflicts, offering a structured approach to handle disputes and maintain a positive working relationship.
Investor Confidence:
When seeking funding from investors or venture capitalists, a comprehensive co-founders agreement demonstrates professionalism and foresight. It reassures potential investors that the startup's foundation is well-structured and capable of withstanding challenges.
Exit Strategies:
While it may seem premature to consider an exit strategy at the startup's inception, having one outlined in the co-founders agreement is crucial. It helps founders navigate scenarios such as a buyout, merger, or sale, ensuring a smooth transition should the need arise.
Protection of Intellectual Property:
Defining how intellectual property (IP) is created, owned, and utilized is a fundamental aspect of a co-founders agreement. This safeguards the startup's innovative ideas and technologies, preventing disputes over ownership and usage rights.
Continuity and Succession Planning:
In the event of a founder's departure, incapacitation, or death, a co-founders agreement can outline a plan for ensuring the startup's continuity. This provides stability during times of transition and minimizes disruptions.
Crafting an Effective Co-Founders Agreement
To create a co-founders agreement that truly serves its purpose, founders should consider the following guidelines:

In the world of startups, where collaboration and innovation thrive, co-founders agreements are the cornerstone of a successful partnership. These agreements provide the structure, clarity, and protection needed to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship while fostering an environment of trust and shared purpose. By addressing critical aspects such as responsibilities, equity distribution, decision-making, and dispute resolution, co-founders agreements set the stage for a startup's growth and long-term success. Just as a solid foundation is essential for a skyscraper, a well-crafted co-founders agreement is fundamental for building a thriving startup that can weather challenges and reach new heights.

### Permanent Establishment of Influencers: Understanding Tax Implications and Regulations

Introduction:

In today's digital age, influencers play a significant role in brand promotion and online marketing. As influencers expand their reach globally, tax authorities worldwide are scrutinizing their activities to determine if they have a "permanent establishment" (PE) in their jurisdiction for tax purposes. This article aims to shed light on the concept of permanent establishment and its implications for influencers in terms of tax regulations.

Defining Permanent Establishment (PE):

A permanent establishment refers to a fixed place of business through which an enterprise carries out its business activities, either wholly or partially. The concept of PE is essential for determining the tax liability of businesses, including influencers, in a particular jurisdiction. In the context of influencers, a PE can arise when they have a physical presence, such as an office or a place where they regularly conduct their business, within a foreign jurisdiction.

PE Criteria for Influencers:

The criteria for establishing a PE can vary from country to country, as tax laws differ worldwide. However, certain common factors are considered in determining if an influencer has a PE:

 	Physical Presence: A fixed location, such as an office or studio, where the influencer carries out their business activities.
 	Duration of Stay: If the influencer spends a significant amount of time in a foreign jurisdiction, it may trigger the existence of a PE.
 	Agency or Dependent Agent: If an influencer has a local representative or agent who habitually concludes contracts on their behalf, it may lead to a PE.

Tax Implications of PE:

When an influencer is deemed to have a PE in a foreign jurisdiction, they become subject to taxation in that country. This means they may need to comply with local tax laws, report income earned within the jurisdiction, and potentially pay corporate or personal income taxes.

Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA):

To prevent double taxation and provide clarity on tax obligations, many countries have entered into Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) with each other. DTAA determines the taxing rights between countries and may provide relief for influencers by specifying the conditions under which a PE is considered to exist.

Compliance and Reporting Obligations:

Influencers with a PE must ensure compliance with the tax regulations of the foreign jurisdiction. This includes registering for tax purposes, maintaining proper books of accounts, filing tax returns, and fulfilling any other reporting obligations imposed by the local tax authorities.

Seek Professional Advice:

Due to the complexities involved in determining PE and complying with foreign tax regulations, influencers should seek professional advice from tax experts who specialize in international tax matters. These professionals can assist influencers in understanding their tax obligations, ensuring compliance, and maximizing tax efficiency while minimizing the risk of non-compliance.

 

Conclusion:

As influencers expand their global reach, understanding the concept of permanent establishment and its tax implications is crucial. Influencers must be aware of the criteria that determine PE in various jurisdictions, comply with local tax regulations, and seek professional advice to navigate the complexities of international tax laws. By staying informed and proactively managing their tax obligations, influencers can maintain compliance, build sustainable businesses, and contribute to the growth of the influencer industry in an increasingly interconnected world.

### Navigating Legal Regulations and Tax Implications for Influencers in India

Introduction:

In the era of social media and digital marketing, influencers have become a significant driving force in brand promotion and consumer engagement. In India, the rise of influencers has led to the implementation of legal regulations and tax implications that influencers need to be aware of. This article aims to provide insights into the legal and tax landscape for influencers in India, highlighting the key regulations and their implications.

 	Advertising Standards and Disclosure:Influencers in India must adhere to advertising standards set by the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI). Influencer marketing content should be transparent and clearly distinguishable as advertisements. The ASCI's guidelines state that influencers must disclose any material connection they have with the brand or product they are endorsing. Clear and conspicuous disclosures, such as #ad or #sponsored, must be included in social media posts or videos to inform viewers about the promotional nature of the content.
 	Intellectual Property Rights:Influencers must respect intellectual property rights while creating content. Using copyrighted material without proper authorization can lead to legal consequences. Ensure that the content produced is original or properly licensed, and obtain necessary permissions for using any copyrighted material, including images, music, or video clips.
 	Privacy and Data Protection:Influencers should be mindful of privacy and data protection laws while collecting and using personal information. The Personal Data Protection Bill, which is yet to be enacted, will regulate the collection, storage, and processing of personal data. Compliance with data protection laws and obtaining consent from individuals whose data is being used is crucial to avoid legal complications.
 	Taxation and Income Reporting:Influencers in India are required to report their income and pay taxes in accordance with the Income Tax Act. Influencer income, including brand collaborations, sponsored content, and endorsements, is considered taxable. Depending on the nature of their engagement, influencers may be classified as self-employed professionals or sole proprietors. They must maintain proper records of income and expenses and file income tax returns accordingly.
 	Goods and Services Tax (GST):Influencers who provide services with an annual turnover exceeding the threshold specified under the GST Act (currently INR 20 lakhs for most states) are required to register for GST and charge GST on their services. The applicable GST rate varies depending on the type of service provided.
 	Collaborations and Contracts:When engaging in brand collaborations or sponsored content, influencers should ensure the presence of clear contractual agreements with brands or agencies. Contracts should outline deliverables, compensation terms, usage rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms to protect both parties' interests.

 

Conclusion:

As the influencer industry continues to thrive in India, it is crucial for influencers to be well-versed in the legal and tax regulations governing their activities. Adhering to advertising standards, respecting intellectual property rights, ensuring privacy and data protection, and fulfilling tax obligations are essential for maintaining a compliant and sustainable influencer business. Staying updated with legal developments, seeking professional advice when necessary, and fostering transparent and responsible practices will help influencers navigate the legal landscape effectively and contribute to the growth and professionalism of the industry in India.

### Cryptocurrency Regulations in India: A Comparison with Dubai and Singapore

Cryptocurrencies have gained significant attention globally, and governments around the world are grappling with the task of formulating regulatory frameworks to govern this emerging asset class. In this article, we compare the cryptocurrency regulations in India with those of Dubai and Singapore, two jurisdictions that have embraced cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

India:

India has had a mixed stance towards cryptocurrencies. In 2018, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) imposed a banking ban that prohibited regulated entities from dealing with cryptocurrencies. However, in March 2020, the Supreme Court of India overturned the ban, allowing cryptocurrency trading to resume.

As of now, there is no specific legislation governing cryptocurrencies in India. However, cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender, and the government has issued warnings about the risks associated with investing in them. The regulatory approach in India is still evolving, with discussions underway to introduce a regulatory framework to govern cryptocurrencies and protect investors.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates:

Dubai has emerged as a leading hub for blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in the Middle East. The regulatory environment in Dubai is progressive and favorable towards cryptocurrencies, driven by the government's efforts to promote innovation and attract blockchain-based businesses.

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) was one of the first free zones to introduce regulations for cryptocurrency-related businesses. It launched the "Crypto Centre" in 2020, providing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency trading, exchange, and custody services. The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) oversees and regulates cryptocurrencies and digital asset businesses within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a financial free zone.

Cryptocurrency regulations in Dubai provide clarity and certainty to market participants, encouraging innovation and attracting foreign investments. The government has also launched initiatives like the "Dubai Blockchain Strategy," aiming to make Dubai the world's first blockchain-powered city by 2020.

Singapore:

Singapore has positioned itself as a global fintech and blockchain hub, with a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) oversees cryptocurrency-related activities and has implemented a risk-based approach to regulation.

Cryptocurrency exchanges and digital payment token services in Singapore are required to obtain licenses from MAS and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. The regulatory framework provides clear guidelines for businesses, fostering a secure and trusted environment for cryptocurrency-related activities.

Singapore has actively encouraged blockchain innovation through initiatives like the "Singapore Blockchain Innovation Programme" and collaborations with industry players. The government's supportive stance, coupled with robust regulations, has positioned Singapore as a leading destination for blockchain and cryptocurrency businesses.

Comparison:

When comparing the cryptocurrency regulations in India, Dubai, and Singapore, several key differences emerge:

 	Regulatory Clarity:

Dubai and Singapore have established regulatory frameworks specifically tailored to cryptocurrencies, providing clarity to businesses and investors. In contrast, India is still in the process of formulating comprehensive regulations.

 	Proactive Approach:

Dubai and Singapore have actively embraced cryptocurrencies, encouraging innovation and attracting blockchain-based businesses through supportive initiatives. India has shown a more cautious approach, with intermittent bans and a need for further regulatory clarity.

 	Licensing and Compliance:

Singapore has a licensing regime for cryptocurrency businesses, ensuring compliance with AML and CTF regulations. Dubai has introduced regulations within its free zones, offering clear guidelines for cryptocurrency activities. India currently lacks specific licensing requirements for cryptocurrency businesses.

 	Government Support:

Dubai and Singapore have strong government support for blockchain technology, evident through dedicated strategies and initiatives. India has shown interest in blockchain adoption but has not yet formulated a comprehensive national strategy.

Conclusion:

India, Dubai, and Singapore have taken different approaches to cryptocurrency regulations. While Dubai and Singapore have embraced cryptocurrencies and created supportive regulatory frameworks, India is still in the process of formulating comprehensive regulations.

### A Comparative Analysis of Tax Regulations in Delaware, Mauritius, Dubai, and Singapore

Tax regulations play a crucial role in shaping the business environment of any country or jurisdiction. Delaware, Mauritius, Dubai, and Singapore are renowned for their business-friendly policies and attractive tax regimes. This article aims to provide a comparative analysis of the tax regulations in these four jurisdictions, highlighting their key features, advantages, and considerations for businesses.

Tax Regulations in Delaware:

 	Corporate Income Tax: Delaware does not impose corporate income tax on companies that do not have a physical presence or conduct business within the state. This makes it an appealing choice for companies seeking to incorporate or establish holding companies in the United States.
 	Franchise Tax: Delaware levies an annual franchise tax on corporations incorporated in the state. The tax is based on the company's authorized shares or the value of its assets, offering a predictable tax structure.

Tax Regulations in Mauritius:

 	Global Business License: Mauritius offers a Global Business License (GBL) regime, allowing companies to benefit from low taxes. GBL companies engaged in certain activities, such as offshore banking, investment funds, and global trading, enjoy a favorable tax rate of 15%. This makes Mauritius an attractive jurisdiction for international businesses.
 	Double Taxation Avoidance Treaties (DTAA): Mauritius has entered into several DTAA agreements, which provide relief from double taxation and allow for efficient tax planning. These treaties facilitate cross-border trade and investment by providing certainty and reducing the tax burden on businesses.

Tax Regulations in Dubai:

 	Corporate Tax: In Dubai, corporate tax is applicable to certain sectors, such as oil and gas companies, branches of foreign banks, and telecommunication companies. However, many businesses, particularly those operating in free zones, enjoy a tax-free environment with no corporate or personal income taxes.
 	Value Added Tax (VAT): Dubai introduced VAT in 2018, currently set at 5%. It applies to most goods and services, affecting businesses involved in sectors such as retail, hospitality, and professional services. VAT revenue contributes to infrastructure development and diversifying the revenue sources of the government.

Tax Regulations in Singapore:

 	Corporate Income Tax: Singapore follows a territorial-based tax system, which means that companies are taxed on income derived from Singapore and certain foreign-sourced income remitted to Singapore. The corporate income tax rate is capped at 17%, with various tax incentives available to specific industries and activities.
 	Goods and Services Tax (GST): Singapore has a GST system, similar to VAT, which applies to the supply of goods and services. The current GST rate is 7%. Certain transactions, such as the export of goods and international services, are zero-rated or exempt from GST.

Comparative Analysis:

 	Tax Rates: Among the four jurisdictions, Delaware stands out as a tax-efficient choice due to its lack of corporate income tax, while Mauritius and Dubai offer attractive tax rates for specific activities. Singapore imposes moderate tax rates but provides extensive tax incentives for targeted industries.
 	Double Taxation Avoidance: Mauritius and Singapore have established comprehensive networks of DTAA agreements, offering businesses the advantage of avoiding double taxation and optimizing their tax liabilities. This feature enhances cross-border trade and investment.
 	Tax-Free Zones: Dubai's free zones, offering tax exemptions and customs duty benefits, provide an attractive proposition for businesses seeking a tax-efficient environment. However, it is important to consider the restrictions and limitations that may be associated with operating within these zones.
 	Indirect Taxes: Dubai and Singapore have implemented indirect taxes, namely VAT and GST, respectively. These taxes broaden the revenue base, but businesses operating in these jurisdictions need to comply with the associated compliance requirements and administration processes.

Conclusion:

Delaware, Mauritius, Dubai, and Singapore are renowned for their business-friendly policies and tax regimes. While there are similarities in their tax regulations, there are also notable differences that businesses should consider before making investment decisions. Understanding the tax landscape in each jurisdiction is crucial for businesses looking to expand internationally and capitalize on the various tax incentives and opportunities available.

### Startup Valuations: Understanding How Your Company is Valued

Valuation is a critical aspect of any startup. It refers to the process of determining the worth of a company, and it plays a crucial role in attracting investors, negotiating deals, and overall business planning. However, for many startup founders and entrepreneurs, the process of valuation can be complex and intimidating. In this article, we will provide an overview of startup
valuations, how they are calculated, and what factors investors consider when valuing a company.

What is Startup Valuation?

Startup valuation is the process of determining the value of a company that is still in its early stages of development. The valuation process involves estimating the current and future potential of the company, taking into account its assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Startup valuations are used by investors, venture capitalists, and other stakeholders to determine the potential return on investment (ROI) of a startup.

How are Startup Valuations Calculated?

There are several methods used to calculate startup valuations. The most common methods include:

(a) Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method: This method calculates the present value of future cash flows of the company. It takes into account factors such as revenue growth, profit margins, and the cost of capital.
(b) Comparable Company Analysis (CCA) Method: This method compares the company's financial performance and valuation metrics with those of other similar companies in the industry.
(c) Pre-Money and Post-Money Valuation: Pre-money valuation refers to the company's valuation before an investment is made, while post-money valuation refers to the company's valuation after an investment is made.
(d) Risk Factor Summation (RFS) Method: This method considers various risks associated with the startup, such as the team experience, product development stage, and competition, to determine its valuation.

Factors Considered in Startup Valuations
Several factors are considered by investors when valuing a startup. These factors include:

1. Market Opportunity: The size of the market and the growth potential of the industry the startup operates in are critical factors.

2. Product or Service: The uniqueness, potential, and scalability of the product or service offered by the startup.

3. Revenue and Growth: The startups revenue and revenue growth rate are essential indicators of its financial performance and potential.

4. Team: The experience, skills, and credibility of the startup's team, including its founders and management team, are critical factors in the valuation process.

5. Competition: The level of competition in the industry and the startup's ability to compete effectively with other players in the market.

6. Funding Round: The stage of the startup's funding round, whether seed, angel, or venture capital, also affects its valuation.

Conclusion

Startup valuation is a complex and critical process for any entrepreneur or startup founder. A well-understood valuation helps attract investors, negotiate better deals, and plan business growth effectively. Understanding the methods and factors involved in startup valuations is essential for entrepreneurs looking to build and grow successful startups. By considering these factors and using the right valuation methods, startups can attract investment and build a strong foundation for future growth.

What is Due Diligence?

### Why is Virtual CFO most prudent idea for initial stages and growing startups?

As the business, and outsourcing process of reliance on experts and professionals has increased over the past two decades, optimization of business processes is essential in today’s environment.

As of 2022, a total of 80,152 startups had been officially recognized by DPIIT, which number is on the rise with 21 Unicorns born in Year 2022 in India.

Outsourcing of specific departmental budgets lead to efficient management of business by these Startups, which require efficient utilization of limited funds and resources available to them.

More and more startups, SMEs and Multi-country structures have been observed to rely on Virtual CFO services, for outsourcing their finance, tax, legal, secretarial and compliance and investment banking needs to companies like Anbac Advisors.

Availing Virtual CFO services by these Startups has been observed to save more than thirty percent of their costs, which can be directed towards product developments, enhancement of product features, or marketing and sales activities to boost their top line.

Where hiring of resources, without getting the requisite variety of experience and quality is an extremely costly affair, there is also a huge challenge with regard to the completeness and quality of solutions and capability that can be solved through in-house team hiring. Most Founders, in a survey conducted by Anbac Advisors, found it difficult or nearly impossible to assess the skills and competency of finance and legal resources while hiring an in-house resource.

In an interview with more than 1,000 clients of Anbac Advisors in Bangalore, Gurugram, Mumbai, Singapore and US, it was found that the Founders found huge value in saving more than 33% of their overall budgeted costs, reduced their exposure and risk of tax penalties, and other government penalties from RBI, MCA , ACRA, IRS and other bodies, which enabled them to focus on important growth prospects for the business. This significant saving of time and energy and money over a sustained period of three to five years reaped major benefits for 8% of the Startups and SMEs who could direct those funds towards R&D and new product innovations. More than 78% found the cost and time saving to be the winner for them. Other Founders constituting nearly 13% of the total lot were extremely quality conscious, and found respite and satisfaction owing to the quality of services, and ethical approach towards problem solving to be the major attraction.

### Determining the correct Valuation for a Startup

Since the launch of Startup India campaign in 2016, India has become a hub for start-ups over the recent years due to high growth rates and other factors. According to the Economic Survey Report 2022-23, the number of recognized startups has increased to 84,012 in 2022 from 452 in 2016. India has the 3rd largest startup ecosystem in the world, and it is predicted that it would expand by 12–15% annually on average over the next year. Over the course of the year, number of recognized startups in the nation has risen to approximately 89000 which generated around 6-7 lakhs jobs.
Valuation of startups is a widespread debate in the startup ecosystem in India as well as in other nations. The question is whether the value of shares is correct or inflated or is it the undervalued share with intrinsic opportunity for multi-bagger?
The issue of over valuation arises when investors place a larger value on a startup than it is actually worth, often driven by speculation and hype rather than actual financial performance. This often leads to inflated expectations for startups and can result in challenges for founders to raise capital or make a successful exit. The infusion of funding from venture capitalists and private equity companies, as well as rivalry to invest in high-growth businesses, has contributed to the overvaluation of startups in India.
Valuing a startup is a complicated and methodical process of financial management, projections and discounting of future cash flows, while keeping in mind the competitive positioning of the Startup. In contrast to valuing mature firms, where valuations are supported by historical data regarding the company's performance, valuing a startup frequently depends on revenue estimates and projections with little concrete facts to support it. This makes determining a startup's value an extremely challenging task.
Why are some Startups overvalued?
The higher the valuation of a startup, the better it is to grab potential investors’ attention.  High valuations signal a company's success and future; they draw in new clients and employees; and they enhance its reputation. Startups set an aggressive valuation by exaggerating its expectations and wait for investors to jump in even though they are running into losses. Investors are attracted based on the business plan, team profile, their experience, industry knowledge, use of technology, and the market potential for the proposed products or services.
The value of a startup is a crucial factor in any circumstance. Higher valuations allow founders to keep more of their company's equity rather than diluting it, which improves returns for investors. Lower valuation implies giving up more equity to attract funding.
Startups typically require a lot of funding to sell their products and increase market share due to their innovative nature. Until the startup's net cash flow turns positive, this requirement will persist.
As the number of funding rounds rises, an increasing number of shares gradually transfer from the founders to the investors. In such cases, the founders naturally have a tendency to regulate the amount of transferred shares.
On the contrary, the founders find it impossible to lower the required funds needed to meet the startup's growth goals. By overvaluing, they inevitably seek to divert fewer stakes to the investors. As a result, businesses increase their values in order to raise more money for lower dilution of their company.
Investors on the other hand due to the fear of missing out on the larger profits what we call as FOMO, places a higher value on the startups. One of the most important industries in India and a major source of export earnings is the IT sector. We all know that there is no sector of the modern economy that is unaffected by technology and does not rely on it to perform efficiently. They are often asset light since no substantial capital expenditures are spent as their major focus is on delivering services, allowing them to create excellent profitability and return ratios for investors. Investors prefer to congregate around such speculative chances in order to avoid becoming the only person in the area to miss out on the "next great thing."
Examples of overvaluation in Indian startups/ companies include: There have been multiple cases of overvaluation in Indian startups, when the company's market capitalization or valuation was thought to be greater than its true worth. Here are a couple of such examples:
Paytm: The largest IPO in 2021, which was also the largest IPO ever in the history of the Indian IPO market was One 97 Communications (Paytm). The Indian digital payments and financial services company was valued at $20 billion when it opened its subscription in 2021.It turned out to be the worst performing initial public offering (IPO) launched in the recent past eroding over 70 % of investors’ wealth since its IPO.
Zomato: An Indian multinational restaurant aggregator and food delivery company Zomato was oversubscribed 35 times, giving it a valuation of $12 billion, but has struggled to turn a profit and has seen its market value decline since then.
WeWork: The office space sharing company was valued at $47 billion in 2019, but later had to withdraw its IPO due to concerns about its profitability and business model.
LIC: Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), with a Rs 21,000 crore issue size, was the biggest IPO of 2022. However, it did not live up to investors' expectations, as the stock has dropped around 28% since its initial public offering.
These are a few examples of overvaluation in startups, but there are many others. Overvaluation can be a major challenge for startups, as it can result in unrealistic expectations and make it more difficult to raise capital or make a successful exit.
Overvaluation, on the other hand, is not always a bad thing for startups. It may provide startups the funding they require to expand and improve their goods and service. Furthermore, overvaluation may be an indication of investor trust in a certain business, which may help it draw in additional capital and talent.
Ultimately, mitigating overvaluation requires ensuring that valuations are based on accurate and realistic financial estimates, as well as a full grasp of the company's market and growth prospects.

### Budget 2022 and Crypto Tax

The Finance Minister of India presented Budget 2022 on 01 February 2022. With respect to Cryptocurrency, this is the first time that Tax department has elaborated its focus and clarity on taxing the digital assets.

Digital Assets and Virtual Currency has now been covered within the tax ambit and has now been defined in the Income Tax act, 1961.

According to the Finance Bill, a virtual digital asset is any information or code or number or token (not being Indian currency or foreign currency), generated through cryptographic means or otherwise, by whatever name called, providing a digital representation of value exchanged with or without consideration, with the promise or representation of having inherent value, or functions as a store of value or a unit of account including its use in any financial transaction or investment, but not limited to investment scheme, and can be transferred, stored or traded electronically.

The Budget 2022-23 has further proposed one per cent TDS on payments towards virtual currencies beyond Rs 10,000 in a year and taxation of such gifts in the hands of the recipient. The threshold limit for TDS would be INR 50,000 a year for specified persons, which include individuals/HUFs who are required to get their accounts audited under the I-T Act.

It is extremely clear that the said tax has been imposed to track all virtual currency transactions, whether fiat to crypto or crypto to crypto or other permutations and combinations which may be possible.

There was earlier speculation about classification of Cryptocurrency into capital asset or inventory on business sales. This has now been clarified, and taxation implication shall accordingly arise at the rate of thirty percent on such gains.

Finance Bill 2022 has proposed to tax any income from transfer of any virtual digital asset at a rate of 30 per cent. Deductions and exemptions shall be restricted to cost of acquisition of such assets only.

It is pertinent to understand that cost has to be clearly identifiable, as this itself would become a matter of complexity where the same has been acquired through various sources included fiat or other forms of crypto currencies.

Having said the above, it is also interesting to note that legality of trading in cryptocurrency is still a matter under consideration by RBI and other authorities and that aspect has to be separately dealt with even while obliging with proper tax compliance.

### Essential aspects of Business Valuation every Startup Founder should know

1. Identifying and understanding the purpose of valuation:-
The process of valuation of a business in other words is simply a story of the business itself written in the words of the person performing the valuation.
The purpose behind the entire story(valuation process) of the business influences a lot of measures that are used to value a company such as the valuation approach and the assumptions made during the process which directly impacts the concluded value of the company.
Some purposes of business valuation are:-
• Mergers Acquisitions
• Restructuring or liquidation of a company
• Initial public offering
During an initial public offering the going concern of a business is assumed when valuation is done whereas during Mergers Acquisitions the purchaser may realize benefits that make the acquired business more valuable than the fair market value. This might make the basic value substantially higher than for a going concern or orderly/forced liquidation premise.
2. Conducting industry research:-
Understanding the industry/sector of the business is a very significant part of the valuation process. Industry research provides macro economic and industry factors that could potentially affect the business performance in the future which eventually helps in making more accurate assumptions to forecast the business performance. The past trends in the industry also helps to make more accurate projections which is the Forecasting step.
This step also includes the government policies and global economical factors that could affect the future outlook of the industry.
3. Gathering relevant data:- Financial statements, operational performance, client base, supplier agreements
And all the other data that will impact the future performance, profitability and scaling of the business should be extracted and analyzed in detailed. The best source to get all this data is through the annual business report, investor calls and transcripts and investor presentations. Other websites such as Screener, Yahoo finance could help in extracting such data.
4. Analyzing the historical performance of the business:-
It is very crucial to understand the companies past trends and performance to paint the true picture of the business. Understanding the historical performance, ownership structure and management helps to know the base or the fundamentals of the business on which assumptions could be laid upon.
Analyzing the financial statements of the business:-
• The income statement which helps to analyze the past operational performance and efficiency of the business.
• The Balance sheet which gives the financial position of the business, the assets, investments, loans and other borrowings, all this data is provided by the Balance sheet.
• The Cash flow statement provides the true picture of the business efficiency and cash conversion, all the forecasting valuation is done using the cash flows of the business.
All this analysis helps to establish the relative performance of the subject business when compared to its peers.
5. Establishing assumptions:- One of the most important steps in valuation is to establish assumptions.
Assumptions are made taking into account a huge number of factors which could be macro economic factors affecting the industry or company specific factors such as management efficiency.
Every individual can have different assumptions about the business depending on that person’s point of view, understanding and research hence no assumption is ever accurate and the more factors incorporated in establishing the assumptions the more close they get to being accurate but never fully accurate.

6. Determining the future outlook of the business(Forecasting):- Value, in the eyes of a purchaser or investor, derives from the prospect of future cash flows. Cash flows derive the actual value of the business. The future value of the business is derived through forecasting.
Forecasting of the business performance is done on the basis of the assumptions established in the previous step, the detailed analysis of the past performance and industry research and the management efficiency thus all the steps above assist in the process of forecasting hence with the help of these the companies future revenues, expenses, capital requirements, cash flows etc are being projected.
Comparison of these metrics to other similar companies can also add insight into the Subject Company’s future prospects.
7. Determine the valuation approach to be used:-
Valuation methods:-
• Market capitalization
• Times revenue method
• Earnings multiplier
• Discounted cash flow
• Book value
• Liquidation value
Selecting the most appropriate approach to value a business depends on the purpose and the basis of valuation and in come cases the availability of data. The three basic approaches of valuation are market, income and cost approach.
Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages hence the most appropriate approach is chosen taking into consideration the purpose.
8. Arriving at a concluded value:- The final step is reaching to a conclusion of value. A comprehensive and detailed valuation report is made to support the final concluded value of the business which details the information and valuation approach or approaches and the assumptions made in projections. This report establishes the defensibility and integrity of the conclusion of value by showing how it was derived.

### Start-up funding challenges and how to overcome that

A start-up is a company that is in its initial stage of business. To bring the idea to life or to scale up, funding is required which is one of the significant challenges that the entrepreneurs face because it requires convincing others that the idea is a solid investment. According to an Inc.com article, “Only 4 out of 100 businesses survive past the 10-year mark.” So having adequate and timely start-up funding is all the way more essential for a growing start-up. Tapping a traditional source of finance for a start-up can be stressful if one does not have an established track record or does not have enough asset backing to loan the amount needed. The many funding sources for start-ups include family and friends, angel investors, venture capitalists, crowdfunding (Popular fundraising platforms for start-ups in India are Kickstarter, Wishberry, Ketto, among others.)

Let’s now discuss one by one the start-up funding challenges and how to address them efficiently.

 	The Business Idea needs to be scalable.

One of the reasons why start-ups struggle to secure funding is that they cannot efficiently communicate the scalability plan of their business. Investors wants to see scalability i.e. making possible growth and increased revenue without significantly increasing costs. For this, a sound business model should be in place which supports the growth projected, try to outsource non-strategic aspects of your business to minimize expenses, focus on the core competencies, and seek continuous improvement.

 	Ascertain the funding needs.

Determination of the amount of capital one needs to make the business idea a viable one in the long term is crucial. One must know how much money is needed. Most people would say one should raise as much money as possible. However, in many cases, more isn’t always better, it can lead to increased pressure to scale up the business quickly leading to deviation from the initial plan.

 	Ascertain the right funding option.

Finding the right funding option is a common challenge that businesses face. To increase the chances of getting the funds, one needs to choose the most viable funding alternative. Sometimes, one may also need to use more than one option to fund the start-up. For instance, if a person is launching a start-up in an industry with high average investment capital, he can consider reaching out to angel investors or venture capitalists. Also, doing research and determining the type of VC or angel investor is crucial.

 	Seeking help from Financial Experts.

Lack of knowledge of funding sources, inappropriate valuation, finding the right amount to be funded, the entrepreneurs may be experts and know their industry and domain but may lack knowledge that tackles the aforementioned issues raised. So considering consultancy from financial experts or a financial services company who can leverage their network and tie up with fundraising platforms in India and help the start-up raise the adequate amount from the right source or multiple sources as per the funding requirements.

 	Leverage Personal and Professional connections, Build robust networks.

Many entrepreneurs try doing it all alone. To take the start-up to the next level all alone is extremely difficult and unadvisable. The personal and professional connections that one forge can be leveraged to boost the business exponentially. Forming relationships with other companies and business contacts is one of the most important aspects of growing the business. Being active on online communities like Reddit, Discordapp, Angel.co, Indie Hackers which have huge developer communities with connections to potential investors, and in-person networking are very important.

 	Have an exit strategy.

Having an exit strategy can help provide more funding opportunities. Having clear goals set and an idea of where one wants to be in the future gives a clear picture to the potential investor. For this, a sound business plan which has a realistic financial forecast should be communicated to the investor. Forecasting the expected cost, the investment or loan will cover, and the returns it will generate in the future with a proper justification is crucial.

 	Try tapping newer and simpler ways of funding like Crowd Funding.

Raising money through bank loans, venture capital, and angel investors involve complicated procedures. To avoid this crowdfunding is used by entrepreneurs. It refers to funding the start-up through public donations. If the business idea is innovative enough and has a unique selling value and proposition that people will truly care about, then crowdfunding just might work. To succeed, one must make the campaign visible, measurable, and understandable. The popular fundraising platforms for start-ups in India which facilitates crowdfunding are Kickstarter, Wishberry, Indiegogo, among others.

So to wrap it up, persuading investors into believing in the business idea and then proving the funding requirement can be a difficult task, but with making sure that the solution is scalable, robust network, right planning, required knowledge, sound business model, among others will help ensure that one is ready to grab the opportunity when it presents itself. The aforementioned tips will help overcome the common funding challenges and will lead the business towards long-term success in the respective niche.

### Major Amendments in Income Tax for ITR Filing for FY 2020-21

The Finance Act 2020 has introduced several amendments to the Income Tax that were applicable for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21. The new Amendment's main goal is to reduce the tax compliance burden during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. According to ITR filing experts, there has been positive amendments in past 3 years for salaried person as well as for start-ups as one of the amendments made in the Finance Act of 2020 allowed for the waiver of taxation on Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) granted by eligible start-ups. Some of the major amendments and new sections inserted by the Finance Act 2020 are as follows. Start-ups incorporated between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2021 in India currently enjoy a full tax exemption on profits for any three consecutive years out of their first seven years. Another important consideration is that their annual revenue not exceed INR 250 million. With amendment, the waiver is now applicable to any three years of the start-first up's ten years under the new law. The turnover threshold has also been raised from INR 250 million to INR 1 billion. Previously, companies that paid dividends to shareholders had to pay a 15% dividend distribution tax on those dividends and it was tax- free in the hands of the shareholders who received it. Dividend income will now be taxable.
in the hands of the recipients, at a rate of 10% for dividends paid to Indian shareholders and 20% for dividends paid to foreign investors. The Bill's proposed amendments eliminate such double taxation and is a welcome move by various famous tax consultants in Delhi and other parts of India. Previously, a 5% variation in the value of consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of an asset (other than a capital asset) that was land, a building, or both was permitted. This variation rate has now been increased to 10%. It means that if the value adopted, assessed, or assessable by the authority for the purpose of stamp duty fee does not exceed 100% of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer, the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration. The benefit of interest on loan deduction offered under this section for interest paid on specified housing loans was limited to loans obtained on or before 31.03.2020. However, as a result of this amendment, this benefit is now extended to loans sanctioned prior to April 1, 2021. During the amendments Bill deliberations, it was proposed that the condition of 729 days stay in India in the seven preceding fiscal years be removed.
The amended Bill now states that an Indian Citizen is deemed to be a resident of India if she is not liable to tax in any other country or territory due to residency or domicile in that country, and her total income, excluding income from foreign sources, exceeds INR 1.5 million in the relevant fiscal year. To encourage investments in India's infrastructure sector by Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) and Pension Funds (PF), the Finance Act,2020, added clause (23FE) to Section 10 to provide an exemption from income in the form of dividends, interest, or long-term capital gains arising from an investment made in India. The Finance Bill of 2021 proposed amending various sections to make the reconstruction or division of a public sector company into separate companies a tax-neutral transaction. The Finance Bill, 2021 also proposes that such splitting up or reconstruction be treated as demerger under Section 2(19AA) if certain conditions are met.
The majority of the amendments proposed have been in the nature of clarification or removal of any difficulties in implementing the Finance Bill, 2020. The Equalisation Levy is the main addition made by the amendment. Online Tax consultants and professionals are expected to conduct additional research and discussions in order to better understand the past years amendments and their implications. ITR filing experts have reviewed the new section as a relief for middle class people as new Section 80EEA is introduced to provide for a tax rebate of up to Rs. 1.50 lakhs for interest on a loan taken from any financial institution for the acquisition of a residential house property with a stamp duty value of less than Rs. 45 lakhs.
Workload of ITR filing expert have been adjusted, if a person has not been assigned a PAN, an income-tax return can be filed using their Aadhaar number. If a person has linked his Aadhaar number to his PAN, he may use his Aadhaar number instead of his PAN in his income-tax return. Section 194N demands the payer to deduct TDS at a rate of 2% on cash payments/withdrawals of more than Rs 1 crore in a fiscal year. If a taxpayer fails to file an income-tax return, prosecution is initiated under Section 276CC if the tax payable is Rs. 3,000 or more. This limit has now been raised to Rs. 10,000. ITR filing expert considers this move as negative motivation for filing ITR before due date. A taxpayer may withdraw up to 60% of the total amount from the NPS tax-free. Before, the exemption was limited to 40% of the total corpus amount. Section 80CCD allowed a deduction of up to 10% of salary for contributions made by an employer to an NPS. In the case of Central Government employees, the limit has been proposed to be raised to 14 percent of salary. The standard deduction has been increased to Rs. 50,000/- (from Rs. 40,000/- the previous year). Salary and pensioners will be able to take advantage of the increased standard deduction. Sec. 23 has been amended to allow taxpayers to choose two houses as self-occupied dwellings (previously, only one house was allowed). Under Sec. 24, the taxpayer can now claim interest on both houses. The aggregate monetary limit for the deduction, however, would remain the same, i.e., Rs. 2,00,000/-.
There is an amendment u/s 54 where any capital gain arising on sale of long- term residential house and capital gain does not exceed Rs. 2 crore, tax payer is allowed to invest in two residential houses in India (previously it was only allowed in one house) and capital gain is taxed accordingly. This option is available to taxpayers only once in their lifetime. Tax consultant in Delhi views reduction of limit in positive way towards tax burden perspective as in the case of domestic companies, the threshold limit for a reduced tax rate of 25% has been raised from Rs. 250 crores to Rs. 400 crores. Thus, a domestic company whose total turnover or gross receipt in the previous fiscal year 2017-2018 does not exceed Rs. 400 crores are subject to 25% taxation. A company can choose to opt for the new tax rates in the financial year 2019-20 (i.e., assessment year 2020-21) or in any other financial year in the future. Once a company exercises this option, the chosen provision will apply for all subsequent years. To encourage India's start-up culture, the Act states that start-ups and their investors who file required declarations and provide information in their tax returns will be exempt from any tax scrutiny in respect of funds raised and share premium valuations. Furthermore, special administrative arrangements will be made for pending start-up assessments and the resolution of their grievances. This will provide significant relief to well-known start-ups that have been penalised for raising capital at premium rates. The amendment proposed establishing a Social Stock Exchange on an electronic fundraising platform. The goal of this Exchange would be to list social enterprises and volunteer organisations that work with a social welfare goal in order for them to raise capital. To encourage foreign investment in India, the government has proposed the following measures like removing the 24 percent foreign portfolio investment ceiling and increasing Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) to sectoral limits (i.e., the maximum amount that can be invested in Indian Companies by the foreign investors). Combining the Non- Resident Indian Investor (NRI) portfolio investment route with the Foreign Portfolio
Investor (FPI) route and Allowing 100% foreign investment for insurance intermediaries, as against the current 49% cap. The majority of the amendments proposed in 2019 have been in the nature of improving self-reliant India. Regarding an amendment to Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, which increased the maximum gratuity limit from 10 lakh to 20 lakhs, the Finance Act 2018 amends the Income Tax Act, increasing the maximum tax exemption for gratuity payments to 20 lakhs. Other small major amendment that affects daily life is the cash payment limit for expenses (both capital and revenue expenditure), which has been reduced from RS. 20,000 to RS. 10,000 per day in aggregate per person. ITR filing expert workload got relieved as Individuals with taxable income of up to Rs. 5 lakhs will be given a simple one-page tax return form (excluding Business Income) and those who will be filing their first returns in this category will generally not be scrutinised. Due to increased awareness of income tax return filing, various tax consultant in Delhi and overall, India workload have increased to provide advice and information to their clients regarding amendments which can benefit them at individual level.

### Importance of having ESOP Plan in a Company

The private sector and start-up culture in India is coming of age since the last 30 years of the economic reforms in 1991 which promoted globalization and increased FDI. Increased investments in business lead to increased employability and helps generate new jobs. Most of these employees working for a company, especially startups look for lucrative benefits over and above the monthly salaries drawn by them. The younger generation looks beyond the linear career progression and fixed promotions having an obsession over control of their future and growth. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) are generally designed to reward the employees who help the company grow and contribute most to the employer’s success.
Under ESOP the employees have the right to acquire shares of the company in future at a pre-determined price. The right to acquisition of shares (option) is provided under a scheme (grant of option) and the option may be exercised after a certain number of years (vesting period) at a pre-determined price (exercise price).
The first employee ownership plan was developed back in 1956 by a San Francisco lawyer Louis O Kelso who believed that the company’s own employees should be the logical buyers and ultimate owners; as they were the ones who knew in and out of the business and made it successful in the first place. And as the company grows, the value derived by these individuals should also multiply considerably with the potential to earn a handsome return.
Even in India, ESOP are mostly offered to senior management and in limited cases to select people in middle management. However, ESOP have gained currency in recent times due to an increase in the number of sale and opportunities to monetize.
As the Indian economy is aggressively striving to reach USD 5 trillion mark by 2025 the government is providing major thrust to initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Start-up India’ by providing them with easy funding and tax benefits. In this quest of becoming ‘Job Creators’ various initiatives helped build a pool of nearly 0.6 million direct and .18 million indirect jobs in 2019 alone as per the NASCOMM report. But a major issue for these start-ups is to hire superior talent, as these employees may doubt their job security because these start-ups are not well recognized.
For example, companies that have a reputation for effective leadership, for nurturing a culture of growth and innovation, for being employee-centric by rewarding and recognizing staff contributions, and for building a sustainable legacy, are most often the best fit for an ESOP. This may not always prove to be accurate. Unlike large corporations, startup community and culture are ‘highrisk/high-reward’ where most of the companies are seeking to achieve a big exit in 6-7 years through acquisition, leveraged buy outs or mergers. Startup Advisors suggest offering ESOP to employees help them bring confidence in the company in a competitive market. In addition to that, ESOP provide a solution to the Principal-Agent problem of a business. By helping to reduce the Agency Costs involved in managing the day-to-day operations of the business.
Another use of these ESOP is that they are incorporated into the company’s articles or by laws to act as ‘Poison Pills’ to prevent takeovers by large corporates. These pills are triggered when a hostile acquirer tried to gain control of the company without the board’s approval (bear hug). It gives the holder of these stock options vis a vis employee to put forward their ESOP and have them converted to equity which in turn dilutes the acquirers share. In fact, investors encourage the founders and promoters to carve out 5% - 20% of equity for ESOPs pool.
This percentage differs based on how well balanced the founding team is and the gaps if any that need to be fulfilled.
Basic research suggests that most of these employees who are rewarded with ESOP, use them to fund their retirement plans. Since most of the companies providing stock options do not assist in any benefits post retirement like the public sector,employees refrain from converting the options into shares even post their vesting period. Each ESOP distributed by different companies has a lock in period for which the holder cannot exercise the option to turn it into liquid shares. This principal is known as a vesting period.
ESOP participants generally have the same rights, such as the right to receive dividends, as other shareholders with respect to the stock in their accounts. Participants have full voting rights for shares allocated to their accounts in ESOPs of public companies. But ESOPs in privately held companies are only required to permit participants to vote on such major corporate events as a merger, acquisition, recapitalization, or sale.
Even so, issuing ESOP must also entail benefits to the owners of the company while simultaneously delivering to its employees as well to enable them to issue these options. Often, entrepreneurs like to remain involved in the day-to-day operations of the business and don’t just want to work for a ‘new boss’ that doesn’t understand company history and culture.
Startup Advisors suggest that ESOPs facilitate an entrepreneur’s transition strategy from becoming a CEO to board chair while helping to preserve the value and values of the company. Special tax incentives as prescribed by certain conditions & regulations enables the shareholders of a closely held company to sell stock to an ESOP, reinvest the proceeds in other qualified securities and defer taxation an any gain resulting from these sales. Also, ESOP leveraging provides a way for a selling shareholder to receive cash, rather than incur the risk of a deferred payment arrangement
Over the years ESOP has created unanticipated wealth, economic security and even increased the purchasing power for millions of employees working for employee-owned companies. Eventually, alternatives may be developed to outgrow the reach & benefits of these stock options, but it is probable that the ESOP can play an even greater role for startups and privately held companies in the coming 5-10 years as confirmed by many startup advisors in India. Increased knowledge on the topic and educating new businesses can help promote employee ownership, ensure its wise adoption and successful implementation, and intelligently influence public policy over the long run.

### Capital Gains & Capital Gains Tax in India

What is Capital Gains?

Capital gain is an excess in the value of a capital assets (investment or real estate) than the purchase price of the asset. The surplus is not realized until the asset is sold. A capital gain may be short or long term, i.e., less than one year or more than one year and must be claimed on income taxes.

While capital gains are generally associated with stocks and funds due to their inherent price fluctuating nature, a capital gain can occur on any security that has been sold for a higher price than its purchase price. Similarly, capital loss is suffered when there is a fall in the capital asset value compared to an asset's purchase price.

How to calculate Capital Gains?

There are separate methods to calculate Capital Gains for Long-term Assets and Short-term Assets.

Things you need to know:

 	Full value consideration (FVC) - This is the amount received by the seller after the sale of his/her capital assets.
 	Cost of acquisition (COA) - The value at which the capital assets was acquired by the seller.
 	Cost of improvement (COI) - The capital expenses made by the seller to make alterations and additions to the capital asset.

Calculation of Short-term Capital Gains:

Step 1: Start with the FVC

Step 2: Deduct the following:

 	Expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in relation with such transfer
 	COA
 	COI

Step 3: The final Value is Short-Term Capital Gains

Calculation of Long-term Capital Gains:

Step 1: Start with the FVC

Step 2: Deduct the following:

 	Expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in relation with such transfer
 	Indexed COA
 	Indexed COI

Step 3: Deduct exemptions provided under sections 54, 54EC, 54F, and 54B from the resulting value

In case of House Property Sale:

The following expenses are to be deducted from the Gross sale price:

 	Commission and brokerage paid for securing a client
 	Stamp Paper purchase cost
 	Travelling expenses related to the transfer
 	In case of property inheritance, expenditure incurred with respect to procedures associated with the will and inheritance, obtaining certificate of succession, execution costs, may also be allowed in some cases.

In case of Shares sale:

The following expenses may be deducted from the Gross sale price:

 	Commission and brokerage for selling the shares

What is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax is the tax that is levied on capital gains. This tax is calculated on the profit between the sale price and the original purchase price of the asset.

How Capital Gains Tax works?

Capital gains tax is only triggered when an asset is realised, or sold, not while it is held by an investor. This implies someone can own shares for instance, that appreciate every year but will not owe a capital gains tax on the shares until they are sold, no matter how long they're held.

 Net Capital gains:

The term "net capital gains" refers to the total amount of capital gains after deducting all capital losses.

For example, if an investor sells 2 stocks during the financial year, one for loss and an equal one for a profit, the amount of the capital loss on the losing investment nullifies the capital gain from the profitable investment. As a result, the taxpayer has a zero net capital gains, meaning he or she will not have to incur any capital gains tax.

Long-Term vs Short-Term Capital gains:

The gain an investor realizes on an asset that has been held for longer than 12 months before its sale is known as Long-Term Capital Gains. A short-term capital gain is the gain that rises from an asset that's been held for less than 12 months.

Investors with both long- and short-term gains and losses can easily calculate their final net capital gain. First, it is necessary to add all kind gains and losses together.

For example, if an investor has four short-term gains, these gains are to be summed up together to get a gross total of all short-term gains. The same thing must be done with long-term gains and long- and short-term losses. Once we have the gross total short and long term gains and losses then, the short-term losses are deducted from the short-term gains to produce a net short-term gain or loss. The same thing is done with the long-term gains and losses. Then, these two numbers are netted against each other to produce a final net value that is reported on the tax return.

### Seed Fund support announced by Government for Startups | News | Entrepreneur

Seed Fund support announced by Government for Startups – What should be the focus Next 4 Years?

### Aspects to consider before Setting up a Company in Singapore

India offers location savings due to lower cost of rentals, man-hour cost and overall standard of living owing to being an Emerging economy. This attracts Companies outside India to set up operations in India. However, considering that, a major aspect to consider while setting up a company in India is foreign exchange fluctuations, tax rates applicable, other statutory costs and ease of doing business.

A detailed analysis must be carried out to weigh the prospective gains from location savings vis-à-vis prospective increase in costs due to higher rates of taxes, other costs, foreign exchange fluctuations and ease of doing business.

While India has significantly improved ranking in ease of doing business, Singapore still remains the top destination with respect to Ease of doing business, along with New Zealand.

A comparison of tax rates of Singapore at 17 percent with India at 30 percent significantly points towards better tax advantages of setting up Asia Headquarters in Singapore. Man-hour costs, rental costs, etc. point towards India being 20 percent cheaper, however, it still may differ since Top cities in India would end up costing almost same or even higher in some parts.

Due consideration must be given to operations to be carried out in Singapore vis-à-vis scope of operations in India.

Aspects to be considered in such a scenario include, but not limited to, Transfer Pricing, Double tax avoidance, Capital Gains, obtaining of license, approval for employment pass, cost of setting up and maintaining a company in each geography, nature of operations, Functions, Assets and Risks associated with intended operations of each entity.

Careful and detailed planning is required before setting up a company in Singapore after considering aspects mentioned above, along with those specific to the business and complexities born out of company specific facts.

 

 

### Setting-up an Entity in India

India emerges out to be one of the most promising economies in recent times in terms of potential return on investment, and with increased ranking of India in “Ease of doing business”, it has attracted many Offshore companies into setting up operational presence in India.

 

Considering above, it becomes imperative to analyze in Detail all aspects pertaining to setting up of operations in India. We will look into aspects from a macro perspective:

 

 	Foreign Exchange Management Act: It must be understood and analyzed in detail whether the sector and type pf operations intended to be setup are permitted as per FEMA, read with latest updated RBI regulations in this regard.

 

The dynamically changing economic conditions, both domestically and globally, contributes to the ever-changing laws pertaining to Inbound and Outbound investments.

 

 	Income Tax regulations and Double Tax Avoidance Treaties: What needs to be analysed in detail while investing in India is both – domestic taxation and international law with respect to the same read with treaty agreement between respective nations.

 

 	Legal Entity Form: It becomes a very crucial decision to analyse pros and cons of setting up a Private Company limited by shares, Public company, LLP, partnership firm, Trust or any other form. This decision primarily depends upon future intended operations, and expected scale.

 

 	Specific License: Specific license permits are needed for more than fifty three sectors, based on circumstances and nature of operations. Hence, at times, it becomes important to obtain license and ermits to initiate operations and setting up.

 

 	Legality: It needs to be analysed whether the sector is legal to operate in India.

 

 	Transfer Pricing and other aspects for multiple country operations: This is an important aspect if multiple country operations are carried out or intended to be carried out.

 

 

Ease of doing business, combined with long term strategic thinking is critical while deciding to set up an entity in India and initiate operations in India.

 

 

### Seed Fund support announced by Government for Startups – What should be the focus Next 4 Years?

The decade of 2010-2020 marks a phase of significant change not only in demographics and overall standard of living of Indian population, but also in the mindset of the Youth and their aspirations.

 

Startups have emerged as an expression of the New India presented through innovation in the approach and manner of creating these ideas into businesses. This highly poised group of citizens may have begun writing the story of rise of an Economy. This, has been understood by Government, which endeavors to support the Startup ecosystem with benefits in the form of reduced taxation, or exemption from taxes, Incubation setting up, funding support for Fund houses and startups.

 

The most recent development has been the announcement of Seed fund support for startups. The indication of this had already been expressed when Startup India team initiated the INR 5 Lakhs price money for innovations.

 

Through the allocation of INR 1,000 crores to Niti Aayog under then Atal Innovation Mission and INR 1,000 crores to SIDBI for acting as a Fund of Fund for Startup Investors, there seems to be a clear indication that Government has tried to create the foundation for creating a startup infrastructure in the country.

 

Funds are an important part of the Startup journey, as more than 78 percent of the business ideas require an initial capital to initiate operations, and thereafter again for scaling up fast to avoid Competitor with higher capital eradicating them.

 

Basis our experience working on these schemes and with startups, a review of the various schemes rolled out by the government:

 

 	Atal Innovation Mission (Setting up 100 incubators in India under AIC) - The scheme is brilliantly formulated and would benefit the startup ecosystem immensely. However, the speed of disbursals and implementation partnerships have been too slow to show tangible results. Only two phases have been rolled out, not even utilizing twenty percent of the allocated fund.

 

 	Karnataka and Kerela promised to be on the forefront of startup seed funding since Year 2015. Kashmir has been latest to join. The results of these are yet to be observed.

 

 	State government lending of INR 10 Lakh for tenure of 10 years has been another such scheme, however, the implementation has not resulted in tangible benefits in the hands of Startups.

 

 	MUDRA loans & Credit Guarantee Scheme - The process of application and approval are so complex, with no guidance of any team or banking professionals has led to an intangible failure of the same. This scheme has given loads of hopes, but not many real beneficiaries on the ground.

 

The speed and quality of implementation is what the Government should now focus on for the remaining tenure. The ideas at strategic level are undoubtably pointing towards a better future, however the difficult part still remains to implement the same with quality, timeliness and controls in such a manner that intended infrastructure and support reaches the beneficiary at the earliest and in the simplest of manner. India is a huge country with multiple dynamics, hence the need for administration and control in the implementation phase is of prime importance.

### Sponsorchampz Raises Pre Series A funding

SponsorChampz, an Artificial Intelligence enabled platform to connect athletes, influencers and brands, gained an undisclosed amount in Pre Series A funding from a pool of HNIs from Delhi and Mumbai. It aims to disrupt the industry by making a data-driven decision-making tool, rather than an opinion based decision-making which is currently controlled by fragmented and unorganized agencies.

The brand directly reaches out to athletes & influencers and eliminates the requirement of the mediator and opinion-based decisions. With the help of the platform, the brands get access to the biggest pool of athletes and influencers while bridging the gap of information available to brands. Presently it has more than 600 influencers signed up which is growing each day.

AnBac Advisors, one of the top Accounting Firms in Delhi, acted as Investment Bankers and Legal Transaction Advisors for the deal.

Anuj Bali, the Founder of AnBac Advisors said, "SponsorChampz has been phenomenal in contributing towards eliminating opinion-based decisions in sports and influencer marketing by providing Brands with data and analysis, helping the brands to benefit from the expanded pool of suitable athletes. The initiative was remarkable enough to drive us to formulate the Financial and legal strategy for them."

It would be interesting to see how this industry moves from here, after leveraging technology in brand building and selection of brand ambassadors.

Earlier this year, SponsorChampz was successfully incubated by ANDC inStart Foundation with an initial Seed investment.

### India “serious” on Enforcement of crimes of “Money Laundering”

With Globalization, and embrace of the new open economy culture came into existence another menace - MONEY LAUNDERING.

The global community realized and established that perhaps the tool designed and created for growth of an economy became the termite that could eat it too. With that realization and finding, Political Declaration and Global Programme of Action, annexed to the resolution S-17/2 was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations at its seventeenth special session on the twenty-third day of February, 1990.

In India, the same was adopted by the Parliament as Prevention of Money Laundering Act, focused and committed towards prevention of making available or movement of funds for criminal activities, including but not limited to crimes of tax evasions, terrorism, violence, smuggling, sham transactions with shell entities, and much more.

The intent of law is summarized clearly in Chapter III, Section 3 of the Act:

“Whosoever directly or indirectly attempts to indulge or knowingly assists or knowingly is a party or is actually involved in any process or activity connected proceeds of crime including its concealment, possession, acquisition or use and projecting or claiming it as untainted property shall be guilty of offence of money-laundering.” 

The enforcement and execution of penal provisions surrounding such offence were not as draconian or intimidating as some of its peers in Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and Income Tax Act, 1961 or the recently updated Companies Act, 2013.

Starting with the United States, Global eyeballs turned towards the seriousness of this offence primarily with the notice of a reputed Global bank ending up paying more than a Billion Dollar penalties for casual implementation of regulating money laundering through their banking systems.

Since 2016, India has been taking serious actions against money laundering crimes, which not only erodes the foreign exchange reserves from India, but also directly or indirectly facilitates criminal activities.

With increased international trade and fund movements, it is essential in current scenario to ensure proper documentation and due diligence of parties involved in such transactions.

Currently, this prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 is moving from a toothless dragon to a structured armed artillery backed with professional investigative agencies.

According to Section 4 of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002,

“Whoever commits the offence of money-laundering shall be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than three years but which may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.”

Very recently, the Indian government has set up an inter-ministerial committee chaired by the Revenue Secretary for better coordination among various departments and Law enforcement agencies to prevent money laundering activities. This points to the seriousness of the government towards the goal of better governance and executing tools to enforce penalties on defaulting parties.
Global trade compliance, international fund movements and regulations are at their best currently, in terms of understanding the complexities and commitments to regulate and prevent such illegal movement of funds.

### Accounting and Bookkeeping Services in India for Startups

Accounting and bookkeeping services in India are often taken as same services in business. A lot of minds would be in the dilemma of "Isn't a bookkeeper an accountant?”. Well, there is a huge difference in both terms. So, what's the difference between a bookkeeping service and accounting service?
Difference between Bookkeeper and Accountant
So the major difference between the two is the fact that bookkeeper focuses on support role and includes duties like creation on invoices and data entry. The technical need of business like taxes, business planning and doing month end closing entries is taken care by Accountant.

It’s also said that Bookkeeping is a must have for small business either by hiring an in-house bookkeeper or by subcontracting outsource bookkeeping service firm. Accounting services are very different than bookkeeping services accountants are focused on the big picture while bookkeepers are focused on the details and the daily operation of the business both services are important and provide different benefits for the corporation.

Bookkeeping services are the services that encompass the controlling and organizing source documents in accurate and correct manner while accounting services involve determining the best setup and control for a bookkeeping system like cash flow monitoring and budgeting.
Outsourcing Bookkeeping Services in India
Outsourcing bookkeeping services in India has become a popular choice for businesses around the world. India has a well-established reputation for providing high-quality, cost-effective outsourcing services, including bookkeeping. There are several reasons why outsourcing bookkeeping to India may be advantageous:

1. Cost Savings: One of the primary reasons businesses outsource accounting and bookkeeping services in India is cost savings. Labor and operational costs in India are generally lower than in many Western countries, allowing businesses to access skilled professionals at a more affordable rate.

2. Skilled Workforce: India has a large pool of well-educated and trained professionals in the field of accounting and finance. Many Indian outsourcing firms employ qualified accountants who are familiar with international accounting standards. Startup Accounting Services in India support small and medium sized businesses.

3. Time Zone Advantage: The time zone difference can be an advantage for businesses. Tasks can be assigned to the outsourcing partner at the end of the working day in one country, and progress can be reviewed the next morning. This can lead to faster turnaround times.

4. Focus on Core Competencies: Outsourcing bookkeeping and accounting services for small business allows businesses to focus on their core competencies and strategic objectives. By delegating non-core functions to a specialized service provider, companies can improve efficiency and productivity.

Most of you think is there actually a need of outsourcing bookkeeping services? Therefore I would like to acquaint you with the benefits of outsourcing bookkeeping services for small businesses.

1. Focus on business – when you outsource your accounting tasks to bookkeeping agency, you are not only just handling over the work but also you pass on all the responsibility attached to it. So there it lies a differentiation in managing and monitoring.

Whereas outsourcing a skilled bookkeeping company, the most recent tools and technology will be at your disposal.

It also eradicates the limitation of hiring an in-house person. The most crucial thing is your bookkeeping would be managed by people enriched with years of industry experience.

3. Reduce Cost – The most crucial term you would save is the time. Rather than paying for full time staff, you need to pay only for the hours that you require and with little or no overhead and no infrastructure expenses.

4. Focusing on core business – By not spending the time on details, you can actually focus on your core business or that reasons you went into business for yourself and leave the work to the experts.

### 10 Myths about Entrepreneurship in India!

There are many myths about entrepreneurship and false beliefs that often misguide an aspiring entrepreneur in taking wrong steps. Thus it is necessary to clear such myths and have a clear picture of Entrepreneurship in India.

Widely believed myths about Entrepreneurship in India:

 	A lot of fund is required for a start-up:This is one of the big myths about entrepreneurship in the Indian society. People believe that they require big fund to start a business of their own, even some entrepreneurs in India still run their business on that belief, but in reality they just need about INR 17,00,000/- for a typical business to get going. And most of the funding can be done by various other means.
 	Venture capitalists is the perfect place to go for startup funding: This is true but only in case of a computer or biotech start up. Only about 3,000 companies per year are funded by VCs and just one quarter of those companies are funded in the seed or startup stage. Thus it is unrealistic for Entrepreneurs in India to plan their business model on seed funding by VCs. This myth about Entrepreneurship is the most common mistake a startup makes in the intial fund raising stage.
 	Most business angels are Wealthy:Although the definition of Business Angels says differently but approx. three quarters of the people who offer capital to fund the startups of other people who are not family, friends, co-workers or neighbours don’t meet accreditation requirements. In fact, few of them have a normal annual household income and some even have a negative net worth.
 	Startups in India cannot be financed with debt: This is a big myth about entrepreneurship, in reality, debt is a more common means among Entrepreneurs in India of financing a business than equity. As per the survey of Small Business Finances by the Federal Reserve, almost 53% of the financing of start-ups that are 2 or less years old comes from debt and only 47% comes from equity.
 	Banks doesn’t finance startups:This is  yet another one of the common myths about Entrepreneurship in India. Again a survey by the Federal Reserve data proved that bank is the source for 16% of all the financing provided to companies that are 2 or less year old. Although 16% doesn’t seem that high, it is 3% higher than the funds provided by the next highest source and is higher than other usual sources like friends and family, venture capitalists, business angels, strategic investors and government agencies. But one of the drawbacks of financing by banks is, banks won’t be taking the risks involved in startup business because of the depositor’s protection laws.
 	Entrepreneurs prefer attractive industries for their start-up:In reality, Entrepreneurs in India prefer the opposite. Most entrepreneurs chose the most unprivileged industry for their startup business. This means entrepreneurs prefer industries where failure is a big possibility which would give them the advantage of low competitiveness. Choosing the most booming industry is a big myth about entrepreneurship, since chances of innovation are always in a less preferred industry.
 	A start-up’s growth depends on the Entrepreneur’s quality instead of the industry:The industry in which the entrepreneur decides to start his/her business has a huge effect on the odds that grows. Provided the Entrepreneur is efficient enough to execute an effective business plan, there is nothing about the effects of entrepreneurial talent that has a similar effect on the growth of the business.
 	Most entrepreneurs are successful financially:This is another  one of the widely believed myths about entrepreneurship in India. Although Entrepreneurship creates a lot of wealth, but it is distributed unequally. An owner-managed business in its latter stage creates an average annual profit of INR 27,00,000. Only the top 10% of entrepreneurs earn more than average profit. In general entrepreneurs in India earns less money than they would have earned as a corporate employee.
 	Entrepreneurs take high risks: Entrepreneurs in India undoubtedly take risk as there is always a risk in starting or running your own business. As not all ideas are successful so until and unless one takes risk there won’t be a chance of success. But entrepreneurs learn how to take calculated risk and walk on a very thin line that lies between high risk-high potential return and low risk-low return. They do not gamble or rely on luck to run their business, they carefully calculate every possible outcomes and take necessary steps accordingly.
 	Anyone can start a Start-up:According to a survey there are only 400million entrepreneurs out of 7 billion people in the world. And most people who starts a start-up fail to get one up and running successfully. A person needs to be highly motivated with proper resources to start a business of their own, they have to completely uproot their life and sometimes even move to different country for their business. Event after 7 years of starting a business, only one-third of people have a new company with positive cash flow greater than the salary and expenses of the owner for more than three consecutive months. Although theoretically anyone can become an Entrepreneur, but practically it takes a lot to be a successful Entrepreneur in India.

These are some common myths about entrepreneurship in India, entrepreneurship is a way of empowerment for anyone who is willing to scale up his innovation into a business with the right set of people and skills in his team! We at AnBac Skills run an accelerator program  for aspiring entrepreneurs in India who want to scale up their ideas!

### How to start a Venture Capital Firm in India?

In recent years, India has become a hot destination for startups. With India’s rank in ease of doing business improving to 77, this is a clear indicator of a conducive business environment which has led to incorporation of many startups. But for any startup, scaling and running operations requires capital which comes in form of funding. This is where venture capital firms come into the picture. They back the promising startups which have the potential to make it into a big company by providing them with adequate funding. Venture capital firms usually come after angel investors i.e. post the seed stage.

What is a venture capital firm?

A venture capital firm, is an enterprise whose ultimate goal is to earn profits for its shareholders (investors) and its management (investment team). They are basically investment vehicles. These firms seek ownership in high growth potential startups in exchange of investment. They only invest in those businesses which shows potential to grow significantly over a period of time.

But such investments come at a high risk. Because if the startup fails then the investment hold no value, and as most of the startups don’t have fixed assets, this means these investments are highly illiquid in nature. But if everything goes right then the ROI can be huge as well. So owning a venture capital firm has its own perks.

How to set up a venture capital firm?

 	Build a track record

The first and foremost step is to build a proven track record. Nobody would give you funds to invest if you have never made few good investments. It’s always a good idea to work at venture capital firm first and make some high value investments there.

If you already have built a decent track record then there are two different paths which you can follow-

 	The first is to start small. Become an angel investor, make some good investments. After establishing yourself as an angel investor, try raising a small fund. Target HNIs to raise the fund, it can be anywhere from $1mn to $20mn.
 	The second option is to get into a partnership with someone who is already an experienced venture capitalist. They usually are the ones who invests and act as the one handling operations.


 	Get a license

In order to set up a venture capital firm, you need to be eligible first. You need to get a license from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), they are the sole authority for handing out the license.

 	Criteria for eligibility

Following is the main eligibility criteria for setting up a venture capital firm under SEBI (Venture Capital Funds) Regulations, 1996:

For a Company

 	Memorandum of association should have carrying on of its activity as a venture capital fund;
 	It is prohibited by its memorandum and articles of association from making an invitation to the public to subscribe to its securities;
 	Its director or principal officer or employee is not involved in any litigation connected with the securities market which may have an adverse bearing on the business of the applicant;
 	Its director, principal officer or employee has not at any time been convicted of any offence involving moral turpitude or any economic offence;
 	It is a fit and proper person.

 

Once all the compliances are finished, SEBI will ask for a registration fees of Rs. 5, 00,000, within 21 days of application. Finally, Certificate of Registration is issued by SEBI on successful compliance of all terms.

Building a VC firm takes time and networking. Focus on building a strong network of team and the rest of the path will become easy. If you like to know more about the whole process of setting up VC firm then you have arrived at the right place.

### Tax benefits for startups under ‘StartupIndia’ scheme

The ‘StartupIndia’ scheme was launched by the Indian government on 16 January 2016. This scheme comes under the ‘Make in India’ scheme. The aim was to encourage entrepreneurship in India. First, let’s take a quick look at ‘Make in India’ scheme.
On 25 September 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the “Make in India” initiative. The aim of launching this initiative was to transform India into a global manufacturing hub with world-class infrastructure. And this was planned to be achieved by encouraging both multinational and domestic companies to manufacture their products within the country only.
In order to create a sustainable ecosystem for startups, the Indian government decided to launch StartupIndia scheme which would provide a support system for budding entrepreneurs.
India’s investment incentives are designed to channel investments to specific industries, promote the development of economically lagging regions and encourage exports of goods and services. In order to strengthen the make in India initiative, the government needs to provide tax incentives as well, so that businesses can thrive. Below are few key tax benefits for startups which have been introduced under the ‘StartupIndia’ scheme as a part of the ‘make in India’ campaign.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on SEZ profits
The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) units are exempted from paying the Minimum Alternate Tax. This tax exemption was provided to SEZ units under the SEZ act but was withdrawn later. It has been reinstated again as a part of benefits under make in India scheme.

Tax benefits under section 80-IA
Section 80-IA deduction of the Income Tax Act provides a deduction for industries which are involved in infrastructure development. The following section provides income deduction for businesses who deal in developing, operating and maintaining.

Tax holidays, depending on the industry and region
Startups and new enterprises are exempted from income tax for 3 years. In order to avail this benefit, they need to get a certificate issued from Inter-Ministerial Board (IIMB)

Freedom from Angel Investment Tax
The Indian Government no longer enforces the ‘Angel Investment Tax’. This tax was introduced in 2012. Under this, any angel investor won’t be taxed on the investment made by them. This was amended by section 56(2) (vii) (b) of the Income Tax Act.

One thing to remember is that only those startups which fulfill conditions of Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) are eligible for this kind of tax exemption.

Tax saving for investors
The Indian government has exempted investment of long term capital gains by an investor. Another exemption of capital gains has been provided by the Indian government after the sale of residential property or for the purchase of shares of a startup company.

Accelerated depreciation benefit
Additional depreciation is allowed while installing new machinery or setting up a new plant by the person/company who is engaged in the manufacturing of any product.
It is allowed in certain categories such as energy-saving, environmental protection, and pollution control equipment.

Indirect tax benefits for SEZ units
The benefit which comes under this is an exemption from customs duty on import of goods and raw materials

Raised eligibility for the presumptive tax scheme
The eligibility has been raised from 1 crore to 2 crores to enable the business owners to enjoy the benefits under the presumptive tax scheme

Additional tax benefits for startups under the ‘StartupIndia’ scheme
Tax exemptions have been provided on investments above Fair Market Value for investments made in Startups by investors
Companies can claim a deduction for expenses incurred in the 3 years immediately before the year in which the company started its operations

All in all, along with tax benefits mentioned above, the Indian government has also provided other non-tax incentives to startups under the ‘StartupIndia’ scheme which is an intermediary of ‘Make in India’ campaign. So, if you are looking to become an entrepreneur or you already are one then you must take advantage of these benefits. These are the kind of benefits which can help you unlock the true potential of your ideas. Let us all aim big and together make India an economic superpower.

### Angel Tax in India

What is Angel Tax?

It is basically a term used to refer the income tax payable for the start-ups on the capital raised by them, or unlisted companies via the issue of shares through off market transactions.. The rate of angel tax was a hefty 30.9 per cent. This was applied not just to mature private companies, but also to small startups that took early-stage investments from residents in India.

Why is Angel tax in India problematic?

This is the question which would be popping in everybody’s mind.

Well the problem is there is no definite or objective way to measure the ‘fair market value’ of a startup. And as start-ups are the one with the new idea, Investors pay a premium for that idea and the business potential at the angel funding stage. However it seems that tax official’s asses the value of the startup based on their net asset value at one point. Many Startups claims that they find it difficult to justify the higher valuation to tax officials.

As we hear the word tax, so the question arises in our mind, is there an exemption available from this tax?

In fact this year only, government had issued a notification in April to give exemption to start-ups under section 56 of the Income Tax Act in cases where total investments including funding from angel investors should not exceed Rs 10 crore. If start-ups wants exemption, they are also required to get approval from an inter-ministerial board and a certificate of valuation by any merchant banker. However the startup should meet few criteria to qualify for angel tax exemption in India:

 	The share premium and paid up capital of the start-up should not exceed Rs. 10 crore after issuing shares.
 	The procurement of the fair market value of the startup should be certified by a merchant banker.
 	The average income of the investor in the last 3 financial years should not be less than Rs. 50 lakh
 	Also the investor should have a minimum net worth of Rs 2 crores.
 	The startup should have received approval from 8 member inter-ministerial board for angel tax exemption.

Angel Tax Allowance

To simplify the compliance procedure, in a recent notification the government has completed the requirements of fair market value certificate which is issued by the merchant banker and approval from an inter-ministerial board.  The eligible startup can simply request angel tax exemption from the department of Industry Policy & Promotion (DIPP) with applicable supporting documents. This application of DIPP recognised startups will be forwarded to CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) along with the documents attached and CBDT is also mandated to accept or decline such application within 45 days from the day of receipt.

Is Scrapping Angel Tax possible?

No the angel tax could not be scraped as money laundering is the major issue. And also there is a network of the 200 shell companies and they have been under control since 2012, that’s why it can’t be scrapped.

Angel Tax scenario in India 

On Feb 19, the government relaxed norms for companies that qualify as “startups” and can avail angel tax breaks. Now an entity is considered as startups for up to 10 years after its incorporation as compared to seven years earlier. Also the upper limit for turnover of startups in angel tax exemption has been increased from Rs 25 crore earlier to Rs 100 Crore.

“The current law presumes guilt and more often penalises the genuine investor and entrepreneur,” Paula Mariwala, founder and co-president of Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs India (SAE India), told Quartz. “This has caused irreparable damage to the startup ecosystem in India as angels are putting their money elsewhere and entrepreneurs are having a hard time finding their first cheques resulting in unnecessary road kills of many a good idea.” Mariwala is also a member of the policy team at Indian software products industry’s think tank iSPIRT.

For the Startup founders, venture capital firms and overseas investors are the potential resource of funds and angel investors that make up a small portion of the capital. But who thought, elimination of tax may encourage more participation by local investors and help a rookie entrepreneur make a pitch to ‘the Crorepati next door’.

### Start Up Funding scenario in India, 2019.

What is a Start Up?

At present an unmistakable meaning of a 'Startup' does not exist in the Indian setting because of the subjectivity and multifaceted nature included. Considering different parameters relating to any business, for example, the phase of their lifecycle, the sum and level of financing accomplished - startup funding, the measure of income created, the zone of activities, and so forth, we can say,

A Start Up is a young company that is just beginning to develop. They are usually of small scale and initially financed by the founders or one individual. These companies usually start with a new idea or offer something in a new manner that is already available in the market.

Life-cycle of Start Up -

 	PRE-START UP:


 	Discovery – Identify a potential Product/ Service idea that would attract a big target market.
 	Validation – Looking for a potential customer to convert into an actual customer after launching the discovered product/service.


 	START UP:


 	Efficiency – The founder begins to define his/her business model with the intention to develop a strong customer base.
 	Scale – Pushing the business to grow aggressively and increasing the capacity to grow in a stable manner.


 	GROWTH:


 	Maintenance – Boosting benefits and dealing with the problems derived from the worldwide dimensions that the company has achieved.
 	Sale or Renewal – The decision to sell the start-up to an established company or arrange huge resource to accelerate the growth of the company.

 Start Up industry Composition in India-

Total Startups: 20000+ (approx.)

What is the present Scenario of Start Up Funding in India?

India is currently the third largest country behind US and UK with 20, 000 new businesses and 5200+ technology based new companies which are ready to reach 10,500 by 2020 as detailed by Start-up India and NASSCOM.

Upto 7 million college graduates every year and around 55% of the young generation prefer working in start-up companies over corporates. Almost 66% of overall start-up base is found in the metro cities like Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Mumbai, even the tier II cities are not way behind because of new talent, government support, local investor and infrastructure support.

In the same time government support is also expanding as the Indian government has skimmed plans for new businesses, for example, Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS), Bank Credit Facilitation Scheme, Start-up India initiative and others.

How to fund for your Start Up?

Startup funding and fund raising, both are key present day business situations that help the development of a new business. The first round of Startup funding, prevalently known as seed funding shapes the premise of raising support. It is trailed by arrangement A, B and C rounds of funding. While the seed funding regularly alludes to the initial round of Startup funding, series A, B, and C vary in the business development and the kind of speculators included. The series funding helps in the evolvement of a start-up to a full-fledged organisation by helping it raising funds at necessary times.

 

Start Up funding Options in India:-

 	CROWDFUNDING: The method of Crowdfunding is very similar to mutual funds on an initial level. This method of startup funding involves more than one investor who offers a fixed amount of money based on the business idea. Crowdfunding is slowly getting popular which shows that the experienced players are believing in the ideas of these new players. This method also helps a start-up to get crucial funds in the discovery stage itself which helps accelerating the fundamental growth of the business. Crowdfunding can be gathered from Friends, Family, entrepreneurs and big business who believe in the business idea.
 	SELF-FUNDING: Self-Funding also known as Bootstrapping is the most suitable means of Startup funding when it is hard to convince others of your visions and plans in the initial stage of the start-up. Investors usually ask for tractions before investing, this helps to prove the feasibility of the idea and earn the confidence of the investor for future funding plans.
 	VENTURE CAPITALIST: Another method of Startup funding is from Venture Capitalist (VC). These professionals offer you professionally managed funds who are presently looking for Startup funding opportunities that have a high success rate. The most vital part of Startup funding from a venture capitalist is the guidance and monitoring that they provide with their funds. Usually VCs invest in equity and once the business releases its IPO or is acquired, they leave.
 	ANGEL INVESTOR: Angel investors are another popular means of Startup funding. These are individuals with surplus cash looking for suitable opportunities like Startup funding, investment schemes, etc. to invest their funds in, with a good potential growth rate. Although the problem with angel investors is they come with high-Interest and low-Investment expectations, it is important to remember that companies like Google, Yahoo and also Alibaba were a result of Angel Investing.

Future of Start Ups in India:

Start-Ups are the possible future of India. Indian start-ups in order to be successful have to understand how to develop a good business plan from an idea. Start-up community will be the platform which will be providing millions of job opportunities to the aspiring youths of the country with innovative start-up ideas and visions. This will gradually attract many investors towards Startup funding and as a result we can expect a boost in the number of start-ups in the country.

“Most businesses try to earn goodwill after they succeed. But entrepreneurs must come up with a business idea, which can be a business opportunity and earn goodwill at the same time.” -Mr. Suresh Prabhu

### Best Startup Accelerator Program

 

For a new entrepreneur it’s viable to come up with a number of business design and plans, but it is difficult to actually deploy those ideas. Transforming an idea into a business concept involves thinking about how the product or service will be traded and who will buy it, the profits of the product or service, how it is distinguished from comparable ones, and method of delivery. An effective business idea empowers the founder to neatly describe the precise nature of the business to suppliers, customer, lenders and resource member, which is a significant skill for entrepreneurial success. Thus new entrepreneurs requires help of a Start-Up Accelerator Program that can take his/her idea to the next level by providing all the necessary guidance required in the whole phenomenon.

### ACCOUNTING , TAX & LEGAL MATTERS - OUTSOURCING TO EXPERTS

As a start-up firm or business owner, one of the major aspects of running a successful business is to ensure an equally competent team to manage the Accounting and Tax and legal matters associated with your business operations. All successful business owners understand the significance of a proper Accounting system, and compliances to Tax laws (GST, Income tax and International Tax) as it serves as the basis of proper MIS systems and Financial Reporting for the Business owner.

ACCOUNTS OUTSOURCE Is Efficient To Your Business



Want To Step Up Your Accounts Outsource? 

It is important to have an expert team of Chartered Accountants, Lawyers and Startup Consultants to look after Accounting and Tax and Legal matters, company law, GST, Income tax and accounting matters. Since all these fields are extremely technical and possess their own challenges, it is important for an Enterprise to employ a team with professionals who can together boast of all these skills.

Most large corporations, as well as SMEs, have shut down owing to lack of legal compliances or tax notices or inquiry initiated by Enforcement Directorate, or matters associated with International tax, while some suffered shutdowns owing to Investor issues ranging from Listed companies to grow and promising Startups.

Accounts outsource to a team of experts is always a smart move where Chartered Accountants, Lawyers, Company Secretaries as Startup Consultants work collectively under one roof to deliver a one-stop solution, which is legally solid and compliant for your business at a cost much less than that incurred when hired in-house.

Need of Accounts Outsource

 	Hiring professionals from various field like CA, CS, Lawyers, lead to such challenges: Heavy burn/ expenditure

Employing a team of Lawyers, CA, CS is the most ideal scenario for a company. However, as per the latest research carried out by Established market research companies and Startup Consultants in Delhi, on startup challenges 2018, points to the fact that it is financially enviable for any startup or SMEs to incur these costs and incur profitability above 10 percent. It was observed through the analysis of 10,000 startups in India across various states, that outsourcing is the most cost-effective mechanism to adopt, or else be exposed to the risk of notices, tax demands, and another scrutiny.

 	Management of team and competency check

It is pertinent to mention that Managing a team of professionals without knowledge on the subject is the highest single factor that increases the burden on the SME or startups. More than 82 percent of the startups agree to the fact that legal and financial complexity is difficult for them to understand and takes at least thirty two percent of their total time in office. Startup Consultants in Delhi also noticed that this is one of the most important challenges for a Startup, apart from Fundraising still being the topmost challenge.

 	Expertise:

Due to lack of knowledge in Management team about the subject matter, it becomes very difficult to hire the correct candidates for the purpose of handling accounting, legal and tax matters for the organization.

 	Quality:

It becomes difficult for startups and SMEs to hire quality talent because the quality in this industry comes from experience and with experience, the cost of resources increase considerably in the field of finance and legal consultancy.

 	Turnaround time:

Lack of expertise leads to time lags, and defaults. As per the latest survey carried out by renowned organizations in Delhi and Mumbai, it was observed that time lags led to the highest amount of penalties under the GST laws for business owners. due to the inefficiency of staff, there was an occurrence of time lags.

In order to plan out the future development scale of a business, it is very essential to analyze the position of a particular business organization an appropriate estimation of such analysis can easily be provided by the financial record of the company, hence opting for outsourcing these services to a one-stop solution organisation with expert team and years of experience can majorly help in the accomplishment of task of bringing Quality Delivery, Saving Time and Cost for the Organisation and Business heads.

Trademark Registration Process in India
What is a trademark?
A trademark is a distinctive symbol, word, phrase, design, or combination of these elements that is used to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one business from those of others. It serves as a form of intellectual property protection, allowing consumers to associate certain qualities, origin, or reputation with the products or services bearing the trademark. Trademark registration process in India is an integral part of brand image of a company.

Key characteristics of a trademark include:

1. Distinctiveness : A trademark should be unique and distinct from existing trademarks in the same industry to avoid confusion among consumers.

2. Non-Functional : Trademarks cannot describe the product or service directly, and they should not be functional aspects of the product itself.

3. Visual and Verbal : Trademarks can be visual symbols, logos, words, letters, numbers, or even sounds, scents, or colors that uniquely identify the source of goods or services.

4. Protected Territory : Trademark protection is typically limited to a specific geographic region, allowing the trademark holder exclusive rights to use the trademark within that area.

5. Renewable : Trademarks can be renewed periodically, usually every 10 years, as long as the mark is actively used and continues to meet the requirements.

6. Enforceable : Trademark owners have the legal right to prevent others from using similar marks that might lead to confusion or dilution of the brand.
What are the requirements for trademark registration in India?
To successfully register a trademark in India, you need to fulfill certain requirements and follow a specific process outlined by the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Here are the key requirements for trademark registration in India:

3. Selecting Goods/Services: You must identify the specific goods or services for which you intend to use the trademark. Trademarks are registered under specific classes based on the Nice Classification system, which categorizes goods and services into various classes.

4. Search for Prior Use: It's advisable to conduct a trademark search to ensure that your proposed trademark is not already registered or being used by others. This helps avoid potential conflicts.

INDIA MARKET ENTRY STRATEGY
Important parameters to analyze and assess during making inroads into Indian economy and setting up a business here:

1. Legal Structure: Decide on the appropriate legal structure for your business in India.
The common options are:
a) Liaison Office/Branch Office: Suitable for companies looking to establish a presence for market research, promotion, or liaison purposes. These offices cannot engage in commercial activities.
b) Wholly Owned Subsidiary: A separate legal entity fully owned by the foreign company. It allows for complete control and flexibility in operations and is the most preferred option for long-term investments.
c) Joint Venture: Collaborating with an Indian partner can be beneficial for navigating local regulations and gaining market access. It involves sharing ownership, risks, and profits with the Indian partner.
India entry strategy is incomplete without deciding the first step, which is entity form and structure.
2. FDI Policy: India has a liberalized Foreign Direct Investment (“FDI”) policy in various sectors, with certain restrictions and sector-specific regulations. Check the FDI policy of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) to understand the requirements and limits for your sector.

India Entry strategy and its complexity varies for every sector and Central bank’s outlook about the same.

3. Regulatory Approvals: Depending on your industry, you may require specific approvals and licenses from regulatory authorities such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), etc. Ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Certain strategic importance sectors or sensitive sectors are prohibited to initiate, and hence India entry strategy is incomplete without understanding these aspects.

4. Taxation and Accounting: Familiarize yourself with India's tax laws, including corporate taxes, Goods and Services Tax (GST), customs duties, and transfer pricing regulations. Maintain accurate accounting records and consider seeking professional assistance for tax compliance.

Tax efficiency is core to setting up a profitable and viable business in India, and hence no India entry strategy is complete without setting up a robust, efficient and convenient tax structure.

5. Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”): Protect your intellectual property (IP) assets by registering trademarks, copyrights, and patents in India. It's crucial to safeguard your brand and innovations and be aware of any existing IP infringements.

6. Employment and Labor Laws: Understand India's employment and labor laws, including minimum wages, working hours, employee benefits, and social security obligations. Comply with local employment regulations while hiring and managing your workforce.

7. Compliance and Corporate Governance: Comply with corporate governance norms, such as filing annual returns, financial statements, and maintaining statutory registers. Ensure compliance with the Companies Act and other relevant regulations.

8. Local Partnerships and Cultural Understanding: Building relationships and understanding the local culture is important for successful business operations in India. Engage with local partners, stakeholders, and customers to navigate the market effectively.

9. Ongoing Compliance and Regulatory Changes: Stay updated with regulatory changes and amendments in India. Periodically review your compliance requirements and ensure ongoing adherence to applicable laws and regulations.

It's important to consult with legal, tax, and business experts who specialize in the Indian market to guide you through the specific requirements and processes related to your industry and business model.

Transfer Pricing Challenges
Transfer pricing poses various challenges for multinational corporations and tax authorities. Some of the key challenges include:

 	Complexity and Diversity: Transfer pricing involves complex transactions, and each transaction may be unique. Multinational companies often have diverse business operations, making it challenging to find truly comparable transactions for benchmarking purposes.
 	Global Regulatory Variations: Transfer pricing regulations vary widely across countries. Navigating and complying with different rules and regulations in multiple jurisdictions can be challenging for multinational companies, leading to a risk of double taxation or disputes with tax authorities.
 	Rapidly Changing Regulations: Transfer pricing regulations are subject to frequent changes, and tax authorities may update their guidelines and requirements. Keeping abreast of these changes and ensuring compliance can be demanding for companies thus a good transfer pricing consultant in India can support in regular compliance.
 	Documentation Requirements: Most jurisdictions require detailed documentation to support transfer pricing policies. Maintaining comprehensive documentation that satisfies the requirements of various tax authorities can be time-consuming and resource-intensive thus a qualified transfer pricing consultant in India can help ease the process.
 	Identification of Comparable Transactions: Finding truly comparable transactions for benchmarking purposes is often a significant challenge. Differences in industry practices, economic conditions, and the availability of reliable data can complicate the identification of suitable comparables.
 	Economic Downturns and Financial Distress: Economic downturns or financial distress within a multinational group can complicate transfer pricing. Companies may face difficulties in justifying intercompany transactions or maintaining profit margins consistent with their transfer pricing policies.
 	Intangibles and Intellectual Property: The valuation and pricing of intangibles, such as intellectual property, pose specific challenges. Determining the fair value of intangibles and allocating income appropriately among related entities can be subjective and prone to interpretation.
 	Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs): While APAs provide certainty and help mitigate transfer pricing risks, negotiating and implementing APAs can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Furthermore, APAs are not available in all jurisdictions, limiting their effectiveness.
 	Data and Technology Challenges: Managing and analyzing large volumes of data for transfer pricing purposes can be challenging. Companies need sophisticated data management and analysis tools to comply with transfer pricing requirements effectively.
 	Increased Scrutiny from Tax Authorities: Transfer pricing is under increasing scrutiny from tax authorities globally. Companies may face more frequent audits, and tax authorities may challenge transfer pricing policies, leading to disputes and additional compliance burdens.
 	Intercompany Services: Determining the appropriate pricing for intercompany services, such as management fees or shared services, is a common challenge. Defining the value of these services and establishing an arm's length price can be subjective.

Addressing these challenges requires a strategic and proactive approach to transfer pricing management. Many multinational companies engage specialized transfer pricing consultants, use advanced technology for data analysis, and seek legal and tax advice to navigate the complexities of transfer pricing regulations and mitigate risks. Anbac Advisors has a qualified team of transfer pricing consultants in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad as well as other regions of India.

Benefits of Company Registration in India
Registering a company in India offers a range of benefits that can enhance the legal, financial, and operational aspects of your business. Here are some key advantages of company registration:

1. Limited Liability Protection: Shareholders' liability is limited to their investment in the company. Their personal assets are protected from the company's debts and liabilities.

2. Separate Legal Entity: A registered company is a distinct legal entity separate from its owners. It can own property, enter into contracts, and take legal actions in its own name.

3. Perpetual Succession: The company's existence is not affected by changes in its ownership or management. It continues to exist even if shareholders or directors change.

4. Credibility and Trust: A registered company is often viewed as more credible and trustworthy by customers, suppliers, and investors, leading to enhanced business opportunities.

5. Easy Transfer of Ownership: Shares of a company can be easily transferred, providing a smooth way to change ownership without disrupting business operations.

6. Raising Capital: Registered companies have the option to raise funds by issuing shares or debentures to the public, attracting investments from various sources.

7. Tax Benefits: Companies are subject to corporate tax rates, which may be favorable compared to individual income tax rates. Additionally, certain deductions and exemptions are available for businesses.

8. Access to Contracts: Many government and private contracts require the bidder to be a registered company, giving you access to more business opportunities.

9. Brand Protection: Registering your company name provides legal protection for your brand, preventing others from using it without permission.

10. Professional Image: Operating as a registered company enhances your professional image and can attract clients, customers, and partners.

It's important to note that while company registration in India offers numerous benefits, it also comes with certain responsibilities and ongoing compliance requirements. Consulting with legal and financial experts before proceeding with setting up company in India is recommended to ensure that you make informed decisions based on your specific business goals and needs.

### Which is better? Equity financing or Debt Financing?

Debt Financing – Debt financing is basically borrowing money from a lender in return of which we need to pay them interest. Thus debt financing i.e getting a loan for your business is the most common way out for financing.

Equity Financing – it is a way where you trade ownership of the business to the investors in return of their capital for financing the business. It involves a loss of control over business since the investors need to be sure the business succeeds.

Equity financing is more suitable for tech startups and companies.

There is always a dilemma as to what one must choose. It all depends on the situation and the purpose we are looking at.  If we want funds primarily for the working capital needs, day to day business needs which are relevant at transitionally profitable stage, then one must consider debt financing as a better option.

However equity investment is a wiser option where the utilization of the funds is for innovation, branding, scaling up, tech building.
