I'm an Indian resident planning a cross-border e-commerce model: buying products from US suppliers, shipping them directly to a Canada-based warehouse (goods never enter India), and selling to Canadian customers via Amazon.ca. This involves ongoing small-ticket transactions, not a single bulk deal.
Money flow: I pay the US supplier from India, and receive Amazon Canada sale proceeds into an Indian account.
Questions:
Does this qualify as Merchanting Trade under RBI's MTT guidelines, given it's recurring retail sales rather than a single confirmed bulk order?
Is IEC mandatory here, since goods never physically touch India?
Any GST implications, since the supply and sale both happen outside India?
Best entity structure (individual/LLP/Pvt Ltd) for this kind of recurring cross-border trade?
Would appreciate guidance or relevant circulars from anyone who has structured something similar. Thank you.

I did my registration on 6th Nov 2024 but didn't file any returns of esic as i registered due to some tender work. Now in Jul 2026 i want to add 22 members from 01.04.2026. These are already registered employees of esic and have their IP number, wat are the actions should i take on my end so that i could get them registered under me in esic as the portal doesn't allow me to register a employee after 10 days of appointment. Also, should i need to file a nil return for all these months that I'm registered.

Kindly update what we can mention on our sale invoice in present tax year for no tds deduction in case of software sold without any modification as per new income tax code, As in and till previous income tax code we all mention on invoice the notification number “CBDT Notification No. 21/2012 eliminates multi-level TDS deductions on standardized software. It exempts buyers from deducting TDS under Section 194J if tax was already deducted on an earlier transfer and the software is resold without modification, provided a PAN-backed declaration is obtained from the seller.”
Kindly share the information to mention on invoice as per new income tax code

The company engaged contractor by inviting tender for some construction work.
For building construction work the employer have to collect and pay cess under 'building and other construction workers welfare cess act 1996'.
The cess was charged on cost of construction.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I seek your independent legal opinion regarding the functioning of a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the response received from the District Registrar & Inspector General of Societies.

Brief Facts:

A registered society has allegedly not renewed its registration and has not submitted statutory compliances from the year 2021 onwards.
It is further alleged that:
1. No audit of accounts has been conducted for several years;
2. No financial statements have been disclosed to members;
3. Donations and funds are being received and utilized without adequate transparency;
4. The society continues to function publicly and represent itself before Government authorities.

A formal complaint was submitted to the District Registrar & Inspector General of Societies by a member requesting inquiry into the affairs of the society, including its financial management and compliance status.

In response, the Registrar's office stated that since the society is "not renewed", the office has no authority to investigate or inquire into the affairs of the society.
The reply does not cite any specific provision of the Societies Registration Act, 1860, any State Rules, Government Notification, judicial precedent, or other legal authority supporting such conclusion.

Sir
As mentioned, in spite of termination of Leave &Licence agreement Licencee is holding the possession. Several notice had been sent but no effect.
Can we lodge complaint (FIR) in police under section 329 of BNS (criminal Trespass).
Regards
Abhijit
