The regular assessment tax (RAT) is one of best tools available to the Department to collect taxes. The collection from RAT not only showcases the effort of the Department to collect taxes but can also have a great deterrent effect on the tax evaders. During 2009-10, the Department has collected around Rs 31,242 crone from RAT which is around 8,74% more than the corresponding figure last year. The share of collection from RAT (as a percentage of total collection) has gone up from 921% in 2007-08 to 924% in 2008-09. However there is a great potential in augmenting collection from RAT.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has never been armed with stronger draconian powers over the fate of Indian citizens. A recent opinion of the Supreme Court has held SEBI to be a social welfare organisation, and its powers under Sections 11(4) and 11B of the SEBI Act, 1992 (the Act) as not being “penal” in nature. Consequently, SEBI can issue directions to any person using these powers, even in relation to matters that occurred when these powers did not exist in the Act.
Sources said the Sebi committee was comprehensively reviewing open offers and may raise the open offer trigger to 25 per cent from 15 per cent now — the reason being that 26 per cent shareholding in India gives acquirers the power to block special resolutions for important decisions during shareholder meetings.
