I am from west bengal. One of my friend to purchase stamp paper obtain E purchase mode.
Value of Stamp Paper is Rs.100/-.
But when he approaches for payment on line mode it shows he have to pay Rs.100/- PLUS Rs.78/- as incidental charge.
My query to the eminent fellow experts is "is it compulsory to pay incidental charge?"
Because if we purchase Stamp Paper manually from treasury we have to pay RS.100/- only no other charge.

I have one trust which are registered in Indian Trust Act. I want to change its registered address and trustee member. I want to know the process and where should I go to apply this. I have lost its original deed and I have true copy.
Please guide me

We are a hospital with more than 4,000 employees. Our institution is already covered under labour laws, including ESI, PF, and the Payment of Gratuity Act.

Our management is exploring the option of outsourcing some departments, such as the hospital canteen, to an outside agency. That agency may employ fewer than 10 people. The proposal is that since the contractor has less than 10 workers, they will not contribute to ESI, PF, or gratuity for their staff. Payments would be made to them on a contract basis.

We need clarity on the following points:

Since our hospital is already covered under ESI, PF, and gratuity, will the canteen workers (contract workers with fewer than 10 people) also fall under the coverage of these Acts?

Does the size of the contractor’s workforce matter, or does the fact that they are deployed within our covered establishment automatically make them eligible for ESI, PF, and gratuity?

In case the contractor does not comply, will the liability fall on us as the principal employer?

Your expert guidance on this matter will help us advise our management properly.

I am currently doing BCOM along with CS. I would like to study further, which can add value to CS. So, what option would be better, CS+LLB or CS+MBL?

Sir
The Company is a 100% govt company. It takes up various projects executed through contractor on 'Turn Key ' basis ,whose funds comes from government.
While release payment we have to mentioned % of work done(scheduled in work order) on the bills submitted by the contractor and based on which payment is released.
However in case of dispute on work done (in case works later found faulty or inappropriate ) mention of % of work done goes against us. So my query before you is can we write down following statements (a) &(b) on the bills while release payment:

(a) Prima facie ...................................% of work of the project being done.

(b) However as the project being a ‘Turn Key Project’ henceforth unless & until the referred project being fully completed and performed according to the full satisfaction of the management of ABCD, the above referred statement in clause (a) will not be considered as conclusive and/or suggestive statement for any purpose.
