Money and Banking Important Questions


EXPLAIN THE LIMITATIONS OF CREDIT CREATION?
Limitations of credit creation are:
(A)    Cash reserves: All the deposits cannot be used as credit creation some cash may be put as cash reserve which comes in the way of the commercial bank capacity of credit creation.
(B)    Good securities: it enhances bank safety. It can be converted into cash quickly without any loss. Availability of non-availability of such securities decides the capacity of banks credit creation.
(C)    Total Supply of money: Another important limitation to credit creation is the total supply of money in circulation.Money supply is controlled by the central bank. If the total supply of money is increased, credit creation can be increased and viceversa.
(D)   Habits of the people: Liquidity preference is the desire to hold cash. So if the liquidity preference is more the banks create less credit and vice versa.
(E)    Policies of the central bank: cash reserve ratio is determined by the central bank. So if the cash reserve increased, the banks will have less cash in hand and its credit creation capacity is decreased or vice versa.
(F)    Leakages: Due to improper flowing of funds from one bank to other leakage occurs thus harming the process of credit creation.
(G)   State Economy: During depression times traders borrow less and more during boom times. thus state of economy also limits creation.



Explain the main characteristics of cheque?
1.       A cheque is an instrument in writing. it must be written in ink
2.       It must contain an unconditional order. The order is expressed by the word “pay to”.
3.       If the payee did not encash it before the time limit, he should revalidate the cheque.
4.       It is drawn on a specified bank only and not on any person.
5.       The sum of money to be paid must be certain.it is an order to pay a specified sum of money on demand.
6.       If the drawer issues a cheque bearing a date before the date of issue it is called ante- dated cheque.
7.       If the drawer issues a cheque bearing a date after the date of issue it is called post- dated cheque.
8.       The banker has to honour the cheque when
·         it is complete in all aspects and drawn properly.
·         The customer has sufficient balance in his account.
·         IF the signature on cheque tallies with specimen signature.
·         The banker has no doubt about the bonafides of the holder.

Banker sends confirmation slip to customer showing uto dae balance if customer signs and sends the  slip to the banker , the customer bound by it.

Effect of wrong entries in favour of the banker:

If it is favour to banker the legal position is as follows: The customer is entitling the mistake as soon as he identified. The customer is not expected to examine the passbook regularly. Therefore this right to get the mistake rectified does not lapse even if he returns the pass book without raising objection or remains silent.

GST Advantages And Disadvantages

The Goods & Service Tax or GST is one of the biggest fiscal reforms in India since Independence. All businesses, small or large, will be impacted by this new indirect tax regime.
GST will be levied on both goods and services and will subsume and replace the current indirect taxes such as excise, VAT, and service tax.

Some of the benefits of GST to the Indian economy are listed below-

benefits of gst

Removing cascading tax effect

An important benefit of the introduction of GST will be the removal of the cascading tax effect. In simple words, “cascading tax effect” means a tax on tax.
Under the current regime, the service tax paid on input services cannot be set off against output VAT. Under GST, the input tax credit can be availed smoothly across the spectrum of goods and services, thus reducing the tax burden on the end user and removing cascading effect.
Let’s take the following example to understand how removing the cascading effect will reduce taxes.

Current scenario

A trader buys office supplies for Rs. 20,000 paying 5% as tax. It charges 15% service tax on services of Rs. 50,000. Currently, he has to pay Rs. 50,000*15% = Rs. 7,500 without getting any deduction of Rs. 1,000 VAT already paid on stationery.
Under GST (assuming GST= 18%)
GST on service of Rs. 50,000 @18%9,000
Less: GST on office supplies (20,000*18%)3,600
Net GST to pay5,400
This will be especially beneficial to industries that involve both goods and services (like restaurant business) and pay both VAT & Service Tax under the current regime.

Higher threshold for registration

TaxThreshold Limits
Excise1.5 crores
VAT5 lakhs in most states
Service Tax10 lakhs
GST20 lakhs (10 lakhs for NE states)
As per the current VAT structure, any business with a turnover of more than Rs. 5 lakh (in most states) is liable to pay VAT (different rates in different states). Similarly, for service tax, service providers with turnover less than Rs. 10 lakhs are exempted.
Under GST this threshold has been increased to Rs. 20 lakhs thus exempting many small traders and service providers.

Composition scheme for small businesses

GST also has an optional scheme of lower taxes for small businesses with turnover between Rs. 20 to 50 lakhs. It is called the composition scheme. This will bring respite from tax burdens to many small businesses.

Simpler online procedure under GST

The entire GST process – starting from registration to filing returns and payment of GST tax – is online. Startups do not have to run around to tax offices to get various registrations under excise, VAT, service tax.

Lesser number of compliances

Also, the current tax regime has excise VAT and service tax, each of which have their own returns and compliances.
TaxReturn filing
ExciseMonthly
Service taxProprietorship/Partnership- Quarterly
Company/LLP- Monthly
VATDifferent for different states
Some states require monthly returns over a threshold limit. Some states like Karnataka require a monthly return
GST will unify all these, thereby reducing the number of returns and the time spent for tax compliances. There are about 11 returns under GST, out of which 4 are basic returns which apply to all taxable persons under GST.

Defined treatment for e-commerce

benefits of gstMany Indian businesses provide goods and services through the internet. Earlier, there were no specific provisions for treatment of the e-commerce sector. Currently, states have variable VAT laws for this sector. For example, online websites (like Flipkart and Amazon) delivering to Uttar Pradesh have to file a VAT declaration and the registration number of the delivery truck. Tax authorities can sometimes seize goods when there is a failure to produce documents.
Again, these e-com brands are treated as facilitators or mediators by states like Kerala, Rajasthan, and West Bengal which do not require them to register for VAT.
All these differential treatments and confusing compliances will be removed under GST. For the first time, GST clearly maps out the provisions applicable to the e-commerce sector and since these will apply all over India, there should be no complication regarding inter-state movement of goods anymore.
Click here for detailed analysis of the impact of GST on e-commerce.

Increased efficiency in logistics

The logistics industry in India had to maintain multiple warehouses across states to avoid the current CST and state entry taxes on inter-state movement. Most of the times, these warehouses were forced to operate below their capacity thus increasing their operating costs.
When GST goes live, these restrictions on inter-state movement of goods will be lessened and the logistics sector might start consolidating warehouses across the country. As an outcome of GST, warehouse operators and e-commerce players have already shown interest in setting up their warehouses at strategic locations such as Nagpur, which is the zero-mile city of India, instead of every other city on their delivery route.
Reduction in unnecessary logistics costs will increase profits for businesses involved in supply of goods through transportation.

Regulating the unorganized sector

Certain industries in India like construction and textile are largely unregulated and unorganized. GST has provisions for online compliances and payments, and availing of input credit only when the supplier has accepted the amount, thereby bringing accountability and regulation to these industries.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that GST is aimed at increasing the taxpayer base by bringing SMEs and the unorganized sector under its purview. This will make the Indian market more competitive than before and create a level playing field between large & small enterprises. Further, Indian businesses will be able to better compete with foreign countries such as China, Philippines, and Bangladesh.
However, all will not be smooth sailing. A policy change of such a huge nature is sure to be faced with teething troubles. Experts have also identified some of the disadvantages of GST implementation which could be a cause for worry for some industries.

Disadvantages and Demerits of GST

In our previous article, we discussed the benefits of GST. However, like everything else, all is not smooth sailing for GST and there are some obvious disadvantages of GST for businesses and end consumers which we will discuss in detail here.
disadvantages of GST

Higher Tax Burden for Manufacturing SMEs 

Small businesses in the manufacturing sector will bear most of the brunt of GST implementation. Under the existing excise laws, only manufacturing business with a turnover more than Rs. 1.50 crores have to pay excise duty. However, under GST the turnover limit has been reduced to Rs. 20 lakh thus increasing the tax burden for many manufacturing SMEs.

Increase in Operating Costs

Most small businesses do not employ professionals and prefer to pay taxes and file returns on their own to save costs. For GST though, as it is a completely new tax system, they will require professional assistance. While this will benefit the professionals, the small businesses will have to bear the additional costs of hiring experts.
Also, businesses will need to train their employees in GST compliance increasing their overhead expenses.

Change in Business Software

Most businesses use accounting software or ERPs for filing tax returns which have excise, VAT, and service tax already incorporated in them. The change to GST will require them to change their ERPs, too, leading to increased costs of purchasing new software and training employees.

GST Will be Implemented During the Middle of the Year

The tentative GST implementation date is 1st July 2017. So, for the fiscal yea, 2017-18 business will follow the old tax structure for the first 3 months, and GST for the rest of the time. It is impossible to cross over from one tax structure to the other in just a day, and hence businesses will end up running both tax systems in parallel, resulting in more confusion and compliance issues.

Increase in Taxes will Increase Prices

Currently, some sectors like the textile industry are exempted from taxes or pay low tax. GST has only 4 proposed tax rates of 5%,12%,18%, 28%. Thus, for many sectors the tax burden will increase which in turn will increase the price of the final goods.

Petroleum Products Are Not Part of GST Yet

Petroleum products are being kept outside the scope of GST as of now. States will levy their own taxes on this sector. Tax credit for inputs will therefore not be available to related industries like the plastic industry which are heavily dependent on petroleum products. Petrol and diesel are required to run factory machinery and unavailability of input tax credit on petroleum products will most probably push up the final price of all manufactured goods.  
Recently the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that GST will apply on petroleum only after all the states, through the GST Council, are agreed on it. So, an inclusion of petrol in GST is expected but there is no deadline on the horizon yet.

Registration in Multiple States

GST requires businesses to register in all the states they are operating in. This will increase the burden of compliances.

Problems Faced by E-commerce

Nowadays, many SMEs operate through their own online shopping websites or through third party websites to sell to different parts of India. Under GST, they will be required to register for all the states. Not only that, they will not be eligible for composition scheme and will be required to pay taxes like any large organisation. E-commerce facilitators are now required to collect TCS under GST which will lead to increased complications and compliances.

Composition Scheme is Not Available for Many Businesses

Composition scheme is available for only businesses selling goods. It is not available to service providers or for online sellers. This sets SMEs at par with largeorganisationss in an unfair move.

No Anti-Inflationary Measures

Every country that follows GST experienced a hike in inflation when they first introduced it. They countered the inflation by keeping tabs on prices and initiating anti-profiteering measures at the retail level to protect consumers from price swindling.
While there have been similar discussions in the GST council, India still does not have concrete anti-inflationary measures to curb the inflation that is an inevitable outcome of GST.

Conclusion

Change is definitely never easy. It is important to take a leaf from global economies that implemented GST and overcame the teething troubles to experience the advantages of having a unified tax system, easy input credits, and reduced compliances.
Once GST is implemented, most of the current challenges of this move will be a story of the past. India will become a single market where goods can move freely and there will lesser compliances to deal with for businesses.

Disadvantages of GST Implementation in India


8
17281
The Indian parliament gave a unanimous decision on implementation of GST (Goods & Services Tax) in India from the coming financial year FY 17-18. Undoubtedly this move is historic in the history of Indian Economy. The passing of the GST bill is being seen the next big move after the 90s reforms of the Indian Economy. The government’s is already gearing up for timely implementation of the GST by strengthening the IT backbone which shall propel the decision ahead.
But at the same time there are few aspects with contradict the growth story and might be seen as hurdles which will take time to overcome post the implementation of GST. On one hand where a majority of corporate world is rejoicing, there are few who do not belong the happy lot.
  1. When the aviation industry was witnessing the much awaited growth with increasing domestic traffic, the GST implementation might slower the rate at which the industry is expecting growth as flying will become expensive. Service tax on fares currently range between 6% and 9% (depending on the class of travel). With GST, the rate will surpass 15%, if not 18%, effectively doubling the tax rate.
  2. India, on one hand, has the lowest insurance penetration in the world (less than 5% of Indian population & half of the global average) and on the other GST will further make the insurance products dearer. Life, health & motor insurances will begin to cost more from April 2017 as taxes will go up by up to 300 basis points.
  3. IT companies have adopted a strategy of spreading their operations and stationing their majority workforce where the cost of operations in low (e.g. Chennai, Bangalore). The GST may lead to increasing costs of operations at their most cost-effective delivery centers.
  4. The Banking & Financial Sector (including Insurance as stated above) might take a hit as ccurrently the effective tax rate in the sector is 14 per cent, which is levied only on fee component (and not interest) of the transaction. Under GST, effective tax rate on fee-based transactions is expected to increase to 18-20%. With the implementation of GST a moderate increase in the cost of financial services such as loan processing fees, debit/credit card charges, insurance premiums, etc. is expected.
  5. Petroleum products form a majority import value in the Indian ecosystem. However, key petroleum products like crude, natural gas, high-speed diesel and ATF have been kept out of GST. Compliance costs are likely to rise because of dual indirect tax mechanism.
A seemless implementation of GST may boost growth of the overall economy to a level that the above stated pitfalls might be merely seem as part and parcel of the India growth story. E.g. When most of the sectors grow simultaneously, it might increase jobs and disposable income of individuals to an extent that the dearness brought by GST gets offset.
Analysts are already predicting 10% GDP growth for the Indian Economy with GST coming into effect. All eyes will be focussed on Q1 earnings of FY 2017-18 once the GST comes into effect and the companies start disclosing their numbers.
