RADIO broadcasters have expressed concerns over the proposed move to introduce Section 33A in the Copyright Act which would give unfair powers to the music societies to fix tariff and could potentially derail the radio industry already reeling under massive losses.
Absence of tax-free climate has affected inflows of foreign investment in the shipping sector, reducing its competitiveness, the government informed Rajya Sabha. “The Indian flag suffers from certain barriers in terms of tax and duty structures which may have impeded the growth of foreign direct investment (FDI),” shipping minister GK Vasan told Rajya Sabha. As per him new taxes in the form of service tax, FBT etc reduced its competitiveness.
Asking for transparency in functioning, leading broadcasters like Zee TV, STAR, Sony and others have taken a strong objection to a proposed move by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) to amend the existing Copyright Act without consulting them. Under the proposed changes, even news broadcasters may also have to cough up a similar amount for every telecast of matches and old clippings.
Meetings of all Zonal Development Commissioners under the chairmanship of AS(SEZ) would be held after BOA meeting in the Department of Commerce to discuss and clarify policy matters which required further discussion. Therefore, if Zonal DCs need any clarifications on SEZ Policy issues, they may bring up such matters along with full details of the case in these meetings.
It has been noted that developers/co-developers have been seeking permission of the BoA for carrying out such authorized operations, which are already covered in the default list of authorized operations, the powers for which have already been delegated to the DC’s/UAC’s. This results in the waste of precious time of the BoA.
The government has no plan to further liberalize foreign investment in retail sector, the commerce and industry minister said.India, currently, does not permit foreign direct investment (FDI) in multiple-brand retailers, restricting global firms like Wal-Mart Stores and Carrefour from selling directly to customers in the country. Foreign holdings in single-branded retailers are capped at 51%.
Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has criticised HRD ministry’s proposed amendments to the Copyright Act and said it was disappointed to note that the ministry has not done any consultations with broadcasters on proposed changes like amendments in ‘Fair Use’ provisions.
The Ministry of Commerce & Industry has issued an Instruction No. 41 – F.No.C.6/9/2009-SEZ- Dated November, 2009 to all Development Commissioners clarifying that Net Foreign Exchange Earning (NFE) for SEZ units is to be calculated in rupee terms only.In case a unit claims that the NFE is negative due to foreign exchange fluctuations, the Approval Committee may consider the same, on case to case basis, provided the NFE computations are certified by the Authorised Banker of the unit.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) under the ministry of commerce and industry has disagreed with the Union finance ministry’s view that there is need to regulate investment in sectors with foreign investment caps in respect of those companies which despite being technically “owned and controlled by Indians” as defined in Press Note 2, still leave scope for indirect foreign control.
I am directed to say that references have been received in this department seeking clarification on the currency in which NFE is to be calculated. The matter has been examined in this department and it is clarified that NFE is to be calculated in rupee terms only.
