Among the salient features of the new Bill, it provides for appointment of a minimum of 33 per cent independent directors on the board of companies and places restrictions on corporate entities in raising deposits from the public. For one, it prohibits the issue of shares at discounts to stop the current practice by some promoters of issuing shares to themselves at a discount.

Besides, the proposed legislation recognises the chief executive officer (CEO), chief financial officer (CFO) and company secretary as “key managerial personnel” and provides for a single forum for mergers and acquisitions.

Shareholder interest


To protect the interests of shareholders, the new Bill seeks to ensure that the right of investors over dividend or security lying unclaimed for more than seven years is not taken away. In this regard, the investor education and protection fund is to be administered by a statutory authority.

The new Bill seeks to put in place a more effective regime by providing for inspections and investigations while including provisions of recovery and disgorgement.

On the issue of limiting the Government’s role, Corporate Affairs Ministry Joint Secretary Jitesh Khosla said: “The new Bill replaces the Government’s intervention by shareholders’ control. It demands greater disclosures.”

As for the interests of small companies, the Bill has proposed a new entity in the form of one-person company and empowers the Government to simplify the compliance regime for them. Alongside, it provides a wider choice on the number of partners in a partnership firm and others, including banking companies with a maximum limit of 100.

Restrictions on subsidiaries


Among some of the other provisions of the Bill, while companies will not have any restrictions on the number of subsidiaries, it proposes to make the consolidation of financial statements of subsidiaries with those of holding companies mandatory.

Tough one... In recent days it has been true - the market has remained rangebound during most of the day, and after 2.30 either short covering or profit taking pushes the market up or down.

There's money to be made (usually) in the last 45 min, but you better be on your feet.

Dear Aru,

You have made quite a good list of donts and do for trading.

But for each of the above rules, there are always exceptions, that you have not foreseen. This is probably reflected in your point 13, but I chose to put it differently:

***The market always has a way to beat you. ***

Dear Aru,

You have made quite a good list of donts and do for trading.

But for each of the above rules, there are always exceptions, that you have not foreseen. This is probably reflected in your point 13, but I chose to put it differently:

***The market always has a way to beat you. ***
:)

Reliance Industries is transferring its 80% stake in Godavri Basin to its sister concern where it will be the 100% owner of the sister concern. The share price is falling becoz of the following concerns:
1. Falling Crude Prices giving a concern about the refining margins in the next quarter.
2. Political uncertainity implying risks to its EOU status and other benefits.
3. Its ongoing gas battle with NTPC and RNRL creating an uncertainity which is always negative for any stock and company.
