IndianCAs: NPA Norms Revised [1 Attachment]

 
[Attachment(s) from Ashwin Nagar included below]


RATES OF PROVISIONING FOR NPAS AND RESTRUCTURED ADVANCES REVISED

Enhancement of Rates of Provisioning for Non-Performing Assets and Restructured Advances

CIRCULAR NO. DBOD.NO.BP.BC. 94 /21.04.048/2011-12, DATED 18-5-2011

Please refer to paragraph 110 of the Monetary Policy Statement for the year 2011-12 (extract enclosed) wherein it was proposed to enhance the provisioning requirements on certain categories of non-performing advances and restructured advances. Accordingly, the revised provisioning requirements for the following categories of non-performing advances and restructured advances will be as under: (the current provisioning requirements are laid down in paragraph 5 of the Master Circular on Prudential Norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning pertaining to Advances - Ref DBOD.No.BP.BC.21/21.04.048/2010-11, dated July 1, 2010).

Sub-Standard Advances :

1. Advances classified as "sub-standard" will attract a provision of 15 per cent as against the existing 10 per cent. The "unsecured exposures" classified as sub-standard assets will attract an additional provision of 10 per cent, i.e., a total of 25 per cent as against the existing 20 per cent. However, "unsecured exposures" in respect of Infrastructure loan accounts classified as sub-standard, in case of which certain safeguards such as escrow accounts are available as indicated in our circular DBOD.No.BP.BC.96/08.12.014/2009-10, dated April 23, 2010, will attract an additional provision of 5 per cent only i.e. a total of 20 per cent as against the existing 15 per cent.

Doubtful Advances :

2. Doubtful Advances will continue to attract 100% provision to the extent the advance is not covered by the realisable value of the security to which the bank has a valid recourse and the realisable value is estimated on a realistic basis. However, in respect of the secured portion, following provisioning requirements will be applicable:

    i.  The secured portion of advances which have remained in "doubtful" category up to one year will attract a provision of 25 per cent (as against the existing 20 per cent);

   ii.  The secured portion of advances which have remained in "doubtful" category for more than one year but upto 3 years will attract a provision of 40 per cent (as against the existing 30 per cent); and

  iii.  The secured portion of advances which have remained in "doubtful" category for more than 3 years will continue to attract a provision of 100%.

Restructured Advances:

3. i. Restructured accounts classified as standard advances will attract a provision of 2 per cent in the first two years from the date of restructuring. In cases of moratorium on payment of interest/principal after restructuring, such advances will attract a provision of 2 per cent for the period covering moratorium and two years thereafter (as against existing provision of 0.25-1.00 per cent, depending upon the category of advances); and

ii. Restructured accounts classified as non-performing advances, when upgraded to standard category will attract a provision of 2 per cent in the first year from the date of upgradation (as against existing provision of 0.25-1.00 per cent, depending upon the category of advances).

4. All other instructions on provisioning will remain unchanged. The revised provisioning norms vis-a-vis the existing norms are also summarized in Annex.

Extract from the Monetary Policy Statement 2011-12

Enhancement of Rates of Provisioning for Non-Performing Assets

110. In pursuance of the announcement made in the Second Quarter Review of October 2009, banks were advised in December 2009 to achieve a provisioning coverage ratio (PCR) of 70 per cent for their non-performing advances by end-September 2010. This coverage ratio was intended to achieve a counter-cyclical objective by ensuring that banks build up a good cushion of provisions to protect them from any macroeconomic shock in future. In April 2011, banks were advised to segregate the surplus of provisions under the PCR vis-a-vis as required as per prudential norms as on September 30, 2010, into an account styled as "counter-cyclical buffer". While the "counter-cyclical buffer" so created would be available to banks for making specific provisions during economic downturns, there is a need for banks to make higher specific provisions also as part of the prudential provisioning framework. Accordingly, It is proposed to enhance the provisioning requirements on certain categories of non-performing advances and restructured advances as under:

    l advances classified as "sub-standard" will attract a provision of 15 per cent as against the existing 10 per cent (the "unsecured exposures" classified as sub-standard assets will attract an additional provision of 10 per cent, i.e., a total of 25 per cent as against the existing 20 per cent);

    l the secured portion of advances which have remained in "doubtful" category up to one year will attract a provision of 25 per cent (as against the existing 20 per cent);

    l the secured portion of advances which have remained in "doubtful" category for more than one year but upto 3 years will attract a provision of 40 per cent (as against the existing 30 per cent);

    l restructured accounts classified as standard advances will attract a provision of 2 per cent in the first 2 years from the date of restructuring, or in cases of moratorium on payment of interest/principal after restructuring, for the period covering moratorium and 2 years thereafter (as against existing provision of 0.25-1.00 per cent, depending upon the category of advances); and

    l restructured accounts classified as non-performing advances, when upgraded to standard category will attract a provision of 2 per cent in the first year from the date of upgradation (as against existing provision of 0.25-1.00 per cent, depending upon the category of advances).

111. Detailed guidelines in this regard will be issued separately.

IndianCAs: CBEC on Restaurant and Hotels [1 Attachment]

 
[Attachment(s) from Ashwin Nagar included below]

CBEC's CLARIFICATION REGARDING SERVICE TAX ON HOTELS/RESTAURANTS

Clarification regarding service tax on Short-Term Accommodation Service and Restaurant Service

CIRCULAR NO. 139/8/2011-TRU, DATED 10-5-2011

Since the levy of service tax on the two new services relating to services provided by specified restaurants and by way of short-term hotel accommodation came into force with effect from 1st May, 2011, a number of queries have been raised by the potential tax payers.

2. These are addressed as follows:

Short-Term Accommodation Service:

Sl. No
Queries
Clarification
1.
What is the relevance of declared tariff? Is the tax required to be paid on declared tariff or actual amount charged?
"Declared tariff" includes charges for all amenities provided in the unit of accommodation like furniture, air-conditioner, refrigerators etc., but does not include any discount offered on the published charges for such unit. The relevance of 'declared tariff' is in determining the liability to pay service tax as far as short-term accommodation is concerned. However, the actual tax will be liable to be paid on the amount charged i.e., declared tariff minus any discount offered. Thus if the declared tariff is Rs. 1100 but actual room rent charged is Rs. 800 tax will be required to be paid @ 5% on Rs. 800.
2.
Is it possible to levy separate tariff for the same accommodation in respect of corporate/privileged customers and other normal customers?
It is possible to levy separate tariff for the same accommodation in respect of a class of customers which can be recognized as a distinct class on an intelligible criterion. However, it is not applicable for a single or few corporate entities.
3.
Is the declared tariff supposed to include cost of meals or beverages?
Where the declared tariff includes the cost of food or beverages, Service Tax will be charged on the total value of declared tariff. But where the bill is separately raised for food or beverages, and the amount is charged in the bill, such amount is not considered as part of declared tariff.
4.
What is the position relating to off-season prices? Will they be considered as declared tariff?
When the declared tariff is revised as per the tourist season, the liability to pay Service Tax shall be only on the declared tariff for the accommodation where the published/printed tariff is above Rupees 1000. However, the revision in tariff should be made uniformly applicable to all customers and declared when such change takes place.
5.
Is the luxury tax imposed by States required to be included for the purpose of determining either the declared tariff or the actual room rent?
For the purpose of service tax luxury tax has to be excluded from the taxable value.

Services Provided by Restaurants:

1.
If there are more than one restaurants belonging to the same entity in a complex, out of which only one or more satisfy both the criteria relating to air-conditioning and licence to serve liquor, will the other restaurant(s) be also liable to pay Service Tax?
Service Tax is leviable on the service provide by a restaurant which satisfies two conditions: (i) it should have the facility of air conditioning in any part of the establishment and (ii) it should have license to serve alcoholic beverages. Within the same entity, if there are more than one restaurant, which are clearly demarcated and separately named, the ones which satisfy both the criteria is only liable to service tax.
2.
Will the services provided by taxable restaurant in other parts of the hotel e.g., swimming pool, or an open area attached to a restaurant be also liable to Service Tax?
The taxable services provided by a restaurant in other parts of the hotel e.g., swimming pool, or an open area attached to the restaurant are also liable to Service Tax as these areas become extensions of the restaurant.
3.
Is the serving of food and/or beverages by way of room service liable to service tax?
When the food is served in the room, service tax cannot be charged under the restaurant service as the service is not provided in the premises of the air-conditioned restaurant with a licence to serve liquor. Also, the same cannot be charged under the Short-Term Accommodation head if the bill for the food will be raised separately and it does not form part of the declared tariff.
4.
Is the value added tax imposed by States required to be included for the purpose of service tax?
For the purpose of service tax, State Value Added Tax (VAT) has to be excluded from the taxable value.

3. Trade Notice/Public Notice may be issued to the field formations and
