Article

BACKGROUNDLEGALOn 07th December, 2016, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has vide its Commencement Notification notified various sections of Companies Act, 2013. Section 66 which is the governing provision for Reduction of Share Capital of a company, is one amongst those sections notified on 07th December, 2016. MCA has further, notified the  National Company Law Tribunal (Procedure for Reduction of Share Capital of Company) Rules, 2016 on 15th December, 2016.

Previously, Reduction of Share Capital was governed under Section 100 of the Companies Act, 1956 subject to the confirmation of the Court.

BROAD-SPECTRUMThe Reduction of share capital is a delicate matter for both managerially and legally, its need to be handles with caution. Another name of reduction of share capital is internal reconstruction. Process of Reduction of share capital is first summed- up by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Punjab Distilleries India Ltd. v. CIT, (1965) 35 Com Cases 541, 544.

The power of reduction is general, and extends to every possible mode of reducing capital, including the cancellation of uncalled capital which can only be called up in a winding up, the surrender for re-issue of unpaid shares obtained by subdividing partly paid shares into shares of smaller amount and attributing the whole of the amounts paid-up to the shares not to be surrendered, the repayment of paid-up capital, which is in excess.

NEED OF THE REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITALThe need for reducing capital may arise in various ways, for example, trading losses, heavy capital expenses, and assets of reduced or doubtful value. As a result, the original capital may either have become lost or a company may find that it has more resources than it can profitably employ. In either case, the need may arise to adjust the relation between capital and assets. Indian National Press (Indore) Ltd., In re, (1989) 66 Com Cases 387, 392 (MP).

FOLLOWING WILL NOT CONSIDER AS REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITALWhere a company cancels shares which have not been taken or agreed to be taken. This is not, however, deemed to be a reduction of capital. (Section 61).

Where redeemable preference shares are redeemed in accordance with the provisions of sections 55.

Where any shares are forfeited for non-payment of calls, though the forfeiture as a fact amounts to a reduction of capital.

Where there is a surrender of shares or a gift is made to a company of its own shares. (The gift may be accepted in the name of a nominee of the company).

Where the nominal share capital of a company is reduced by canceling any shares which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person.

Where company purchases its own shares in pursuance of the provisions in section 68.

Where a sum of money was received for allotment of shares but that could not be done, paying back that money to the depositor did not require procedure for reduction of capital even though the money was shown as a part of company’s subscribed capital. Rupak Ltd. v. ROC, (1984) 56 Com Cases 206 (Pat).

CONDITIONSA Company not allowed to implement the scheme of 1 reduction of share capital if, company is in arrears in the repayment of any  deposit  accepted by it or interest payable thereon.

Company should have power in Article of Association for Reduction of Share Capital.

In Dexine Patent Packing & Rubber Co., 1903 WN 82, For a company to reduce its share capital in any manner set out in this section, it must have power given to it under its articles to do so. An authority to do so given by the memorandum of association is of no avail.1 either before or after the commencement of this Act

Article

West India & Pacific Steamship Co., Re, (1868) LR 9 Ch App 11, If the articles do not contain any provision for reduction of capital, the articles must first be altered so as to give the power and then the resolution for reducing capital must be passed, as a special resolution and the reduction effected by such resolution must be confirmed by the court.

There can’t be any retrospective approval of Reduction of Share Capital. Alexander Henderson Ltd., Re, (1967) SLT (Notes) 17 (Scottish).

POWERS OF SHAREHOLDERSThe general rule is that the prescribed majority of the shareholders are entitled to decide whether there should be a reduction of capital, and, if so, in what manner and to what extent it should be carried into effect. When the reduction is consequent on a change in the method of carrying on the company’s business, it is for the shareholders to decide to what extent its capital is in excess of its wants, and on the adequacy of the consideration for the reduction of their share capital, but the powers of the shareholders must be exercised so as to safeguard the rights of creditors, the just and equitable treatment of shareholders and the interest of the investing public.These principles are affirmed in British & American Trustee & Finance Corporation v. Couper, 1894 AC 399 (HL);

Ques: Whether shareholders meeting can be dispensed with by consent of the 75% of the shareholders or more?

it must be said that there is no warrant anywhere in the Act for holding the view that the consent of 75% of members holding not less than 75% voting rights subsequently obtained can validate a defective special resolution. In a decision of the Madras High Court, Self Help Private Industrial Estate Private Ltd., In re, (1972) 42 Com Cases 605 (Mad).

DUTIES OF THE TRIBUNAL:The Court’s jurisdiction is not confined to matters relating to the reduction alone. All circumstances relating to the adjustment of the interests of the different classes of shareholders, but not mere possibilities that may ultimately affect them may properly be taken into account.

Tribunal’s task is to see that the procedure, by which a resolution is carried through, is formally correct and that creditors are not prejudiced; it has the further duty

of satisfying itself that the scheme is fair and equitable between the different classes of shareholders.

Ques: Whether buy-back of securities (Section 68) is part of reduction of share capital in other words whether provisions of section 66 attract on process of buy back of shares?

As per provisions of Section 66(6) nothing in this section shall apply to buy-back of its own securities by a company under section 68. Reduction of share capital through buy- back of shares doesn’t required approval of the Tribunal.Asian Investments Ltd., Re, (1992) 73 Com Cases 517, 523 (Mad).

TAxATION ASPECTS:Ques: Whether Distribution over and above the accumulated profits, in excess of original cost of acquisition of shares  would be considered as capital gain.

Where a company reduces its share capital under section 100(1)(c) by paying off part of the share capital by reducing the face value of shares, such reduction amounts to extinguishment of the right of the member to the extent of reduction of face value of shares and therefore is a transfer under section 2(47) of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961 and the amount received is liable to capital gains tax under section 45. Kartikeya Sarabhai v. CIT, (1982) Tax LR 1877. But see, CIT v. G. Narasimhan, (1979) 49 Com Cases 375 (Mad).

MODES OF REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITALThe Act does not prescribe the manner in which the reduction of capital is to be effected nor is there any limitation on the power of the Tribunal to confirm the reduction, except that it must be satisfied that every creditor of the company has either consented to the said reduction or they have been paid off or their interest has been secured.

Reduction of share capital may be effected in one of the following ways: {Section 66(1)}

i. Extinguish or reduce the liability on any of its shares in respect of the share capital not paid-up. (For example, if the shares are of face value of INR 100 each of which INR 75 has been paid, the company may reduce them to INR 75 fully paid-up shares and thus relieve the shareholders from liability on the uncalled capital of INR 25 per share); or

Article

ii. Cancel any paid-up share capital, which is lost, or is not represented by available assets. This may be done either with or without extinguishing or reducing liability on any of its shares (For example, if the shares of face value of INR 100 each fully paid-up is represented by INR 75 worth of assets. In such a case, reduction of share capital may be effected by cancelling INR 25 per share and writing off similar amount of assets); or

iii. Pay off the paid-up share capital, which is in excess of the needs of the company. This may be achieved either with or without extinguishing or reducing liability on any of its shares. (For example, shares of face value of INR 100 each fully paid-up can be reduced to face value of INR 75 each by paying back INR 25 per share.)

“We’re losing society to apathy, to digital technology, the people who care about nobody else but themselves. They share every little detail of their stupid lives online as if the world even gives a damn… digital technology is getting smarter and society is getting dumber,” Mandy whispered in a voice filled with disbelief. “Society is… it’s slipping away.”  Rebecca McNutt

Immorality  is evil, sinful, or otherwise wrong behavior.  Immorality  is often called wickedness and is a state avoided by good people. Since  morality  refers to things that are right,  immorality  has to do with things that are wrong — like stealing, lying, and murdering. This is a tricky word, because people have their own idea of what’s immoral. We can all agree killing is an example of immorality, but people disagree on whether things such as bad language are truly signs of immorality. Different religions have their own ideas of immorality too, but the word is always associated with wrongness and offensiveness.

Digital world is perhaps a stylistic expression to highlight the importance and hegemony of  digital systems and technology in the contemporary society. As such world is never fully digital or analog, it is a dialectic mix of many forms of experiences and expressions. In the Indian Context digitalization means moving from the manual systems to the online systems thereby making the life of a common man more easy and hassle-free. We haven’t lost romance in the digital age but we may be neglecting it. In doing so the antiquated art forms are taking on new importance. The power of a hand-written letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an email or text ever will.

In the Modern Digital world people has become more mechanized in terms of their emotions and concerns for

others , They have become more self-centered and do

not like any kind of interference in their independence.

With all this, we are going away from our old heritage and

traditions and inclined towards the international show offs

and attractions.

In simpler language, from the discovery of wheel till the

Mangalyaan and from Samosas to classic hand tossed

double cheese margherita with jalapenos and olives, we

sure have come a long way. Yes, Times have changed and

with it needs to change the definition of Morality. The

present generation don’t like being guided by big rule

books. And thus, the definition of Morality needs to be

much simpler. Something like , anything which doesn’t

hurt anyone physically, financially or emotionally is moral,

This is modern day Morality, this is a definition the present

generation is compatible with, but Alas! Morality in this

Digital age of ours remains as far-fetched as Morality in

Trump’s USA. And this is Kind of Self Explanatory. Anyway,

Prowlers on the internet rarely face the classic dilemma,

to be or not be. They are bunch of highly careless people

and ethics and social normally do not fit in their scheme of

things. And thus, hiding behind the façade of a reel world

they wreak havoc in the real world. Our social Media these

days’ works majorly on the principle make it till you make it.

I mean many such sites are age restricted but Indians and

sure born as rebels and they do eventually get through.

Therefore, in my opinion its high time we start

differentiating between the real and the reel, because as

the reel infringes on the real immorality, certainly goes

for a toss. So we should enjoy, be carefree but only till the

point to qualify as a moral citizen that is how we can make

the world a better place to live.

On 2 September 2015, SEBI notified the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (Listing Regulations). Clause 34(2)(f ) of the Listing Regulations requires mandatory submission of Business Responsibility Report (BRR) for top 500 listed entities based on market capitalization (calculated as on 31 March of every year). The BRR should describe the initiatives taken by the companies from an environmental, social and governance perspective, in the format as specified by SEBI from time to time

On 7 February 2017, SEBI issued a circular in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 11 read with Section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 where under the listed entities are advised to adhere to the following:

a. Integrated Reporting may be adopted on a voluntary basis from the financial year 2017-18 by top 500 companies which are required to prepare BRR.

b. The information related to Integrated Reporting may be provided in the annual report separately or by incorporating in Management Discussion & Analysis or by preparing a separate report (annual report prepared as per IR framework).

c. In case the company has already provided the relevant information in any other report prepared in accordance with national/international requirement / framework, it may provide appropriate reference to the same in its Integrated Report so as to avoid duplication of information.

d. As a green initiative, the companies may host the Integrated Report on their website and provide appropriate reference to the same in their Annual Report.

While some Indian companies have already been following IR on a voluntary basis, SEBI’s recent circular is likely to encourage other listed companies to include non-financial disclosures in their annual report, hereby adopting international best practices.

Business Responsibility Report versus Integrated Report Business Responsibility Report (BRR) acts as a tool to help companies understand the principles and core elements of

responsible business practices and to start implementing improvements which reflect their adoption in the manner the company undertakes its business.

Whereas, integrated reporting is one step further - instead of reporting on financial performance and sustainability performance separately, or even within the same annual report, integrated reporting intends to show how the company manages and integrates environmental, social and financial thinking into its business.

Genesis of Integrated Reporting To understand the need of the 21st century, in 2009, The Prince of Wales together with various UN representatives including The Prince’s Accounting for Sustainability Project International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) established the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC). The role of IIRC was to oversee the creation of a globally accepted Integrated Reporting framework. Thereafter, in November 2011, the Committee was renamed the International Integrated Reporting Council

The Integrated Reporting aims to reduce the gap between current reporting and information needs of investors and other stakeholders through the introduction of the concept of Integrated Reporting (IR). There are now over 750 participants in  the IR networks worldwide, with, for example, 180 businesses currently practicing IR in Japan alone. More than 1,000 businesses globally are using it to communicate with their investors and there is increasing interest in IR by pioneers in the public sector. Regulators in countries such as Japan, India and the UK are among those taking a greater interest in IR as a route towards achieving more cohesive reporting and promoting financial stability, with the European Commission labeling IR as ‘a step-ahead’.

Integrated reporting is a concept that has been created to better articulate the broader range of measures that contribute to long-term value and the role organizations play in society. Central to this is the proposition that value is increasingly shaped by factors additional to financial

Making Sense of Integrated Reporting

comprehensive annual report. It can be used as an effective governance tool for performance-oriented management. Integrated reporting is more than combining existing disclosures into a single report. Elements of both financial reporting and sustainability reporting would be included in an integrated report if the information is relevant to how an organization creates and sustains value. This would require assessing the connectivity and interdependencies between the organization’s business model, the context in which the organization operates, and the resources and relationships on which it relies and that it affects.

Rather than the traditional approach of thinking in silos, integrated thinking involves greater collaboration between organizational members, from different functions and backgrounds, to achieve strategic objectives. This process ensures that management connects internal and external information on relevant capitals to identify issues that are material to value creation over the short, medium and longer term. It creates the potential to significantly alter investor and company mindsets on how companies operate. This creates a shift in focus from meeting short-term financial goals, to developing a long-term business strategy, which not only makes a commitment to social and environmental issues, but also to sustainable businesses and society.

Integrated Reporting : What and How ?An integrated report explains how an organization creates value over time. Value is not created by or within an organization alone. It is:

� Influenced by the external environment

� Created through relationships with stakeholders

� Dependent on various resources.

An integrated report therefore aims to provide insight about:

� The external environment that affects an organization

� The resources and the relationships used and affected by the organization, which are referred to collectively in the IR framework as the capitals and categorized as financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social and relationship, and natural

� How the organization interacts with the external environment and the capitals to create value over the short, medium and long term.

performance, such as reliance on the environment, social reputation, human capital skills and others. The economy is facing a new value paradigm. These changes, however, are not reflected in the way we measure or report value. Traditional corporate reporting models have failed to adapt to an uncertain economy and account for the increase in intangible assets. Traditional metrics for measuring value and economic progress no longer provide a complete picture.

An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance and prospects lead to the creation of value over the short, medium and long-term. An integrated report is a holistic and integrated representation of the organization’s performance in terms of its finance and its sustainability

Integrated reporting is a management and communication tool for understanding and measuring how organizations create value now and in the future. The goal is not to provide more information, but better information. It’s the information that investors are increasingly looking for. Conceptually, integrated reporting would build on the existing financial reporting model to present additional information about a company’s strategy, governance, and performance. It is aimed at providing a complete picture of a company, including how it demonstrates stewardship and how it creates and sustains value.

REPORTING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Integrated reporting is, in part, an outgrowth of the view that today’s corporate reporting will not meet the evolving information needs of stakeholders in the global capital markets. There have been major changes in the way business is conducted, how businesses create value, and the context in which they operate. These changes are interdependent and reflect trends in globalization, heightened expectations of corporate transparency and accountability, resource scarcity, and environmental concerns, among others. Integrated reporting (IR) is the latest development in a long line of proposed reporting innovations that have sought to improve the usefulness of corporate reporting

Integrated reporting would prompt companies to think about their reporting in an integrated manner. This would include, for example, considering the relationships between a company’s various operating and functional units, the financial and non-financial capitals that a company uses and affects, and the relevance of those factors in demonstrating how value is created.

Integrated reporting is more than creating a

Guiding PrinciplesThe following Guiding Principles underpin the preparation of an integrated report, informing the content of the report and how information is presented:

� Strategic focus and future orientation: An integrated report should provide insight into the organization’s strategy, and how it relates to the organization’s ability to create value in the short, medium and long term, and to its use of and effects on the capitals

� Connectivity of information: An integrated report should show a holistic picture of the combination, interrelatedness and dependencies between the factors that affect the organization’s ability to create value over time

� Stakeholder relationships: An integrated report should provide insight into the nature and quality of the organization’s relationships with its key stakeholders, including how and to what extent the organization understands, takes into account and responds to their legitimate needs and interests

� Materiality: An integrated report should disclose information about matters that substantively affect the organization’s ability to create value over the short, medium and long term.

� Conciseness: An integrated report should be concise

� Reliability and completeness: An integrated report should include all material matters, both positive and negative, in a balanced way and without material error

� Consistency and comparability: The information in an integrated report should be presented: (a) on a basis that is consistent over time; and (b) in a way that enables comparison with other organizations to the extent it is material to the organization’s own ability to create value over time.

Content ElementsAn integrated report includes eight Content Elements that are fundamentally linked to each other and are not mutually exclusive:

� Organizational overview and external environment: What does the organization do and what are the circumstances under which it operates?

� Governance: How does the organization’s governance structure support its ability to create value in the short, medium and long term?

� Business model: What is the organization’s business model?

� Risks and opportunities: What are the specific risks and opportunities that affect the organization’s ability to create value over the short, medium and long term, and how is the organization dealing with them?

� Strategy and resource allocation: Where does the organization want to go and how does it intend to get there?

� Performance: To what extent has the organization achieved its strategic objectives for the period and what are its outcomes in terms of effects on the capitals?

� Outlook: What challenges and uncertainties is the organization likely to encounter in pursuing its strategy, and what are the potential implications for its business model and future performance?

� Basis of presentation: How does the organization determine what matters to include in the integrated report and how are such matters quantified or evaluated?

Responsibility for an integrated reportAn integrated report should include a statement from those charged with governance that includes:

� An acknowledgement of their responsibility to ensure the integrity of the integrated report

� An acknowledgement that they have applied their collective mind to the preparation and presentation of the integrated report

� Their opinion or conclusion about whether the integrated report is presented in accordance with this Framework

It is important that the Audit Committee (or another Committee delegated with this task) assist the Board in approving the disclosure of non-financial matters in the Integrated Report by ensuring that the information is reliable and that no conflicts or differences arise when compared with the financial results. Before the Audit Committee recommends the Integrated Report to the Board for final approval, the Committee should ensure that all material information is included in the report and that such information has been verified and assured .

Questions For directorsQuestions for directors to ask include:

� How well do we, as a board, and as an organization, understand integrated reporting?

� Have we considered how it may benefit the board and management in understanding our organization and how well our strategies and business models are creating longer-term value?

� What are our shareholders’ and other stakeholders’ expectations for a clearer, longer-term picture of our organization and its ability to create value?

� If our organization provides a sustainability report, how effectively do we integrate it with our financial reports?

� Do we understand how the full adoption of integrated reporting might affect the board, including the liability of directors and officers?

Looking forward Corporate reporting will continue to evolve with the changing business environment and stakeholder expectations. Adding integrated reporting to management’s agenda and to board strategy sessions may help companies determine how to meet these evolving expectations. The integrated reporting concepts may provide companies a useful framework when considering how to best disclose environmental, social, and governance matters that they have decided to report. Companies may also improve their access to capital, achieve greater influence internationally and achieve strategic business benefits from integrated thinking.

A lot of people think it’s about putting together your financial and sustainability reports.  Wrong.  It is much more than that – and much less. Integrated reporting requires thinking about value beyond financial terms.  It will not replace either a financial or sustainability report – both must be in place for integrated reporting.  But starting to think about the connections between the financials, environment, social and governance issues, the relationships your organization has with its key stakeholders and how it makes use of various types of capitals, for a start, is a step in the right direction. Though SEBI has provided one year’s time to the top 500 listed entities to understand and implement such reporting framework (though voluntarily), it will be interesting to see how and when the companies adopt and implement such reporting framework.
