    India’s External debt at End-September 2010
    Show AI Summary
    External debt rise highlights greater short-term liabilities and reduced reserve coverage for short-term obligations.
    India's external debt stock increased by end-September 2010 with faster growth in short-term debt relative to long-term debt; a valuation effect from currency movements accounted for part of the increase. Commercial borrowings, non-resident deposits and multilateral liabilities were the principal components, sovereign external debt remained significant, and US dollar denominated instruments formed the largest currency share. The ratio of short-term external debt to foreign exchange reserves rose. Quarterly external debt statistics are compiled and published by the Department of Economic Affairs.

    CBDT Clarification on Tax Scrutiny Of Mergers and Acquisitions Cases
    Show AI Summary
    Tax scrutiny of mergers and acquisitions is limited and risk-based; M&A alone does not trigger assessment.
    The CBDT states that tax scrutiny of takeovers, mergers and acquisitions is limited and driven by a risk-based selection process; the Income Tax Department typically scrutinizes about one percent of taxpayers, has kept overall scrutiny below one and a half percent, maintains trust in taxpayers and uses non-intrusive measures, while intensive investigation tools such as surveys, searches and seizures may lead to detailed scrutiny. Mere occurrence of an M&A does not by itself trigger tax scrutiny.

    Anti Dumping Duty on parts/components of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) from China and Hong Kong as per Customs Notification No.138/2002-Customs dated 10.12.2002 - Regarding.
    Show AI Summary
    Anti-dumping duty on CKD/SKD imports applies where goods retain essential character, so CFL CKD/SKD are taxable.
    The Board clarified that anti-dumping duty on CFLs applies to imports in CKD/SKD condition because Rule 2(a) of the General Interpretative Rules treats incomplete, unassembled or disassembled articles that retain the essential character of the finished product as complete articles; therefore, where anti-dumping duty is attracted on the article it must be levied on CKD/SKD imports whether in single or part shipments, and prior letters excluding parts/components did not intend to exempt CKD/SKD consignments.

      CBDT Clarification on Tax Scrutiny Of Mergers and Acquisitions Cases

      The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has clarified that the Income Tax Department is currently scrutinizing only a handful of cases relating to takeovers, mergers and acquisitions; not 380 or 100 as reported in some sections of the media. Tax scrutiny is an ongoing process and the numbers vary from year to year. This has already been stated in replies to several Parliament Questions 

      The Income Tax Department reposes trust in taxpayers. It scrutinizes about 1 percent of its total taxpayer base. Selection of cases for scrutiny is risk-based and non-intrusive. Besides, some cases are scrutinized following intensive tax investigation, such as surveys, search and seizure. Mere incidence of takeover, merger and acquisition does not qualify a case for tax-scrutiny. The overall scrutiny level by the Income Tax Department has never exceeded 1.5 percent in the last decade.
