I want to know that is there any control over political parties for their funds and the utilisation. Is Election Commission of India maintain such type of control. Is the control ( if any ) is also applicable on listed but not recognised political parties.

I want to know all the formalities for opening a private Bank mainly there minimum capital requirements, related laws & regulations etc.

WE HAVE GIVEN BUILDING MODIFICATION CONTRACT WORK TO A KARNATAKA PARTY. THEY HAVE BILLED US FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT AS SALE OF GOODS (WITHOUT MENTIONING LABOUR INVOLVED IN THIS) @ 12.5 CST. WORK IS AT KERALA. IS IT CORRECT. AND 12.5% CST RATE IS PREVALENT IN VIEW OF REDUCTION CST RATE. KINDLY CLARIFY.

Why Ministry of Company Affairs is strictly not followed their rules / laws unlike Income Tax Department ?

If the executives of the company are provided re-imbursements of following as part of their salary:
1)Sales promotion expenses.
2)Books and Periodicals.
3)Conveyance.
4)Telephone.
5)Petrol Expenses.
6)Medical Expenses.
So in such cases fringe benefits would be valued at 100% or 20%?
Also give me reference to the section?

Will it covered under Sec115B(1) or under Sec115B(2)i.e as Deemed Fringe Benefits.

Please solve my query urgently.

Thank You.

As per Section 145A the purchases, sales and inventories to be valued inclusive of taxes, duties, cess, etc incurred or paid. VAT introduecd during the FY 2006-07. Sales effected out of opening stock also and that stock is on declaration of forms or exempted goods. Is the closing stock to be valued with VAT on such stock as well as the opening stock also. Is Vat receivable only to be added in closing stock or the actual VAT paid on closing stock should be added. Further as per new ITR in the P& L a/c the Purchase, sales, closing stock etc to be inclusive. Can we do adjustment in computation only and the net effect can be shown in adjustment. If this method is followed then will it not be treated as defective return as the P& L not prepared as required in the form.
