Page 3 PARLIAMENT PASSES ARBITRATION AMENDMENT BILL TO PROTECT TAXPAYER MONEY – BUSINESS STANDARD Section 36 of the (Arbitration) Act says the arbitration award be set aside if it is against public policy, said Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in Rajya Sabha Parliament approved a Bill to amend the arbitration law that would ensure all stakeholders get a chance to seek an unconditional stay on enforcement of arbitral awards where an agreement is “induced by fraud or corruption”. The Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill, 2021, was passed by voice vote in the Rajya Sabha. The Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on February 12. It will replace an Ordinance issued on November 4, 2020. Replying to a discussion on the Bill in the Upper House, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the changes in the Bill would avoid payment of tax payers’ money as an award in cases where the agreement or contract is “induced by fraud or corruption”. He said, “Section 36 of the Act provides that the arbitration award would be set aside if it is against the public policy. The contracts or agreements induced with corruptions and frauds would be considered ‘against public policy’.” “There was a provision under Sector 36 that there would not be direct stay as somebody has to challenge that to get the stay (on the award). Today we are saying that if an award is challenged and if prima facie the court finds that it is induced with fraud or corruption then the court would stay the award.” The minister said, “I don't understand why they get agitated by the mention of corruption. Should such (arbitration) awards be given in India which are induced with corruption and where CBI inquiry is on? Such people by collusive agreement get the award through taxpayers’ money.” “We only want that there should be fair arbitration in India. Our only intention is that people should not loot taxpayers’ money through arbitration awards.” Immediately after the passage of the Bill, Deputy Chairman Harivansh adjourned the Rajya Sabha till Monday as Opposition parties continued raising slogans demanding discussion on the three Central farm laws. ICAI ISSUES GUIDANCE NOTE ON ACCOUNTING BY E-COMMERCE ENTITIES - THE HINDU BUSINESSLINE Clears the air on the accounting treatment of unique aspects of e-commerce biz model E-commerce entities will now have better guidance on various aspects of revenue and expense recognition for transactions conducted online. The CA Institute has now come up with a 'guidance note' on accounting by e-commerce entities, sources said. AABID & CO. Page 4 E-commerce is the activity of electronically buying or selling products or other services over the internet. This business model lets the firms and individuals conduct business over electronic networks, such as the internet. The new Guidance Note is the first comprehensive one guiding various accounting issues unique to e-commerce. A guidance note is mandatory for the members of the CA Institute. Several years back, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) had come up with a Guidance Note on dot com companies. This, however, did not cover the accounting issues around unique aspects of e-commerce, which has seen quantum growth only in the recent decade. India’s e-commerce market is expected to grow to $ 200 billion by 2026 from $ 38.5 billion as of 2017, a recent report had projected. E-commerce companies had reported sales worth $ 4.1 billion across platforms in the festive week of October 2020, driven by smartphones. In India, 100 per cent FDI is allowed in B2B e-commerce. Also, 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route is permitted in the marketplace model of e-commerce. The latest ICAI guidance note throws light on revenue recognition on either ‘gross’ or ‘net basis’. This is critical as e-commerce companies’ valuation are linked to the revenues accounted for in their books. Also, the Guidance Note has covered aspects like ‘Right of Return’ against goods or services or coupons, giving the right to the customers to exchange the goods or services sold against other goods/services. It also deals with revenue recognition aspects around advertising services, web hosting services etc. Accounting aspects on financing extended by certain e-commerce entities to customers —for example, ‘buy now, pay later’ scheme or an extended EMI payment scheme have also been covered in the Guidance Note. Since many e-tailers sell their products through resellers or consignment agents, the guidance note has elaborated on this front’s revenue recognition aspects. In consignment arrangements, the risk and rewards of ownership do not get transferred. In this, a buyer (a dealer or distributor) takes physical possession of the goods but does not assume all the risks and rewards.

RULES NOTIFIED FOR CODE ON WAGES ADVISORY BODY – ET The government has notified rules governing the constitution and functions of the central advisory board under the Code on Wages, paving the way for the government to initiate work on a national floor-level minimum wage. The Code on Wages prescribes for a statutory floor-level minimum wage for the country. The government is keen to roll out the four labour codes from April 1, and hence the need for determining the minimum floor wage at the earliest. No state can set their minimum wage below the national floor-level minimum wage. The current floor wage is only advisory, resulting in some states keeping minimum wages less than the floor wage, which is pegged at Rs 176 per day. AABID & CO. Page 7 B. INSOLVENCY &
