  • Joint Ventures Abroad

    Joint Ventures Abroad Download Word Document In English. (Rs.50/-)        i        Unlike joint ventures in India, Joint venture undertakings are established abroad by the Indian entrepreneurs for building up an export potential for their products manufactured through foreign collaboration in the developing countries where there is a favorable political climate and a demand for the Indian products. For this purpose, the Government offers the following opportunities:                i           opportunities to increase the export potential of the Indian company;             ii        facility of repatriation to India of capital and dividend and royalty and remuneration earned outside India from joint ventures;            iii        incentives under the Income-tax Act.           iv        Compliance with requirements for setting up joint ventures.-The following requirements will have to be complied with for setting up joint ventures abroad : a.     Under Companies Act.-Since the Government’s policy is to encourage only the corporate bodies to invest in joint ventures abroad application should be made to the Central Government, Department of Company Affairs under section 372 (4) if the Companies Act, 1956 in Form 34-B prescribed under the Companies (Central Government’s) General Rules and Forms, 1956. [Form No. 1 below]. b.    Under FERA.- Section 27 of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973, requires that persons resident in India including firms and companies (other than foreign nationals) should obtain prior permission of the Government of India to associate themselves with, or participate in, whether as promoters or otherwise, any concern outside India engaged in, or intending to engage in, any activity of a trading, commercial or industrial nature, whether such concern is a body corporate or not. The application has to be made in the prescribed Form PFCE (See Form No. 31 in Chapter 12). c.     Approval of Reserve bank.-An application has to be made to the Reserve Bank of India in the prescribed Form GRI/EP (Form Nos. 2 and 3 below) for export of plant and machinery and other capital goods or equipment from India towards the Indian collaborator’s contribution to the ventures abroad. d.    For sending representatives.-If the Indian company sends its representative abroad for purposes of the overseas venture, application has to be made to the Reserve Bank of India for exchange in the prescribed Form TRB 2 (Form No. 4 below). e.     Remittance of cash.-If the Central Government permits remittance of cash towards equality participation on the overseas concern, application for release of foreign exchange will have to be made in the prescribed Form A 2, (Form No. 5 below). f.     Holding shares and securities abroad g.    Holding shares and securities abroad –An application has to be made n the prescribed Form FADI (Form No. 6 below) to the Controller, Exchange Control Department, Reserve Bank of India, Central Office (Foreign Accounts Division ) Bombay-1 for licence to hold the shares or securities abroad.       ii        Tax concessions under Income-tax Act.-The following tax concessions and incentives are provided by the Income-tax Act in respect of joint venture abroad : a.     Deduction of 50% (25% up to 31.3.1987) of profits and gains from projects outside India.-Section 80 HHB of the Income-tax Act, inserted w.e.f. 1.4.11983, provides for a deduction of 50% (25% up to 31.3.1987) of profits and gains of an Indian company or a non-corporate resident assessee derived from the business of execution of a foreign project –undertaken by the assesee in pursuance of a contract entered into with the Government of a foreign State or any statutory or other public authority or agency in a foreign State or a foreign enterprise if the following conditions are fulfilled: a.     The foreign project must be a project for construction of any buildings, road, dam, bridge or other structure outside India or the assembly or installation of any machinery or plant outside India, or the execution of such other work which may be prescribed. b.    The consideration for the execution of the foreign project is payable in convertible foreign exchange. c.     The assessee keeps separate accounts of such profits and gains from the foreign project. Where the assessee is a person other than an Indian company or co-operative society, the accounts are audited by an accountant, and a report of such audit in the prescribed form and signed and verified by such accountant is furnished along with his return of income. d.    An amount equal to 50% of such profits and gains is debited to the profit and loss account of the previous year of the assessee and credited to a reserve account is to be utilised by the assessee during a period of five years next following for the purpose of its business. It should not be distributed by way of dividend or profits. e.     An equal amount of 50% of such profits and gains is brought by the assessee into India in convertible foreign exchange in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act. 1973, within six month from the end of the previous year. Where the amount brought into India in convertible foreign exchange falls short of 50% , deduction allowed will be limited to the amount credited or brought into India. b.    Deduction of 50% of royalties, commission, etc., received from foreign enterprises.-Under Section 80-O of the Income-tax Act, a deduction of an amount equal to 50% of income by way of royalty, commission, fees or any similar payment received by an Indian company from the Government of a foreign State or a foreign enterprise in consideration for the use outside India of any patent, invention, model, design, secret formula or process, or similar property right, or information concerning industrial, commercial or scientific knowledge, experience or skill made available or provided or agreed to be made available or provided to such Government or enterprise by the assessee, or in consideration of technical services rendered or agreed to be rendered outside India to such Government or enterprise by the assessee, is allowed. For availing this deduction, the following conditions will have to be satisfied:        i        such income should be received under an agreement approved by the Board up to 31.3.1989 or by the Chief Commissioner or the Director General from 1.4.1989.       ii        such, income should be received in convertible foreign exchange in India, or having been received in convertible foreign exchange outside India, or having been converted into convertible foreign exchange outside India, is brought into India, by or on behalf of the assessee in accordance with any law for the time being in force for regulating payments and dealings in foreign exchange.      iii        such income should be received in India within a period of six months form the end of the previous year or within such further period as the Chief Commissioner or Commissioner may allow. Section 80-O does not specify who the party of the other part to the agreement should be. It is, therefore, difficult to imply that the party of the other part must be the Government of a foreign State or an foreign enterprise. Even in terms of the objects of the section there is no reason why the agreement should be restricted to one entered into with the Government of a foreign State or a foreign enterprise. Regardless of who the party of the other part is, if the conditions of the section have been complies with, there will be an augmentation of the foreign exchange resources of the country. [Petron Engg. Constructions (P.) Ltd. v. CBDI, (1987) 34 Taxman 401 (Bom)]. Further, the words “the Government of a foreign State or foreign enterprise’ must be read together. The words ‘foreign enterprise’ must take colour from the words ‘the Government of a foreign State.’ The words ‘foreign enterprise’ cannot, upon an interpretation of section 80-O, be held to apply to an establishment or undertaking or branch or unit of an Indian company in a foreign country. Such establishment, undertaking, branch or unit may well be an ‘enterprise’ but it is not a ‘foreign enterprise’ within the meaning of these words as used in section 80-O .[Petron Engg. Constructions (P.) Ltd. v. CBDT, (1987) 34 Taxman 401 (Bom)]. However, there is nothing in section 80-O which requires that the agreement should necessarily be between the assessee and the foreign party. If the conditions set out in section 80-O are fulfilled, the agreement would qualify for approval. [Indian Hume Pipe Co. Ltd. v. CBDT, (1986) 27 Taxman 90 (Bom)]. If the agreement is entered into by the Indian company with a foreign Government but the Indian company appoints an Indian contractor to execute the work under the agreement, there would be sufficient compliance with the provisions of section 80-O and the agreement would deserve approval. [Ganon Dunkerely & Co. Ltd. v. CBDT, (1986) 156 ITR 162 (Bom)]. The very object of the section is that the identity of the Indian company must be different from that of the foreign company and that the managing or running a foreign company by the Indian company would not amount to rendering of technical services, because when the Indian company manages or runs the foreign company, then the identity of the Indian company would be lost and, therefore, the remuneration obtained from managing or running a foreign company would be in the nature of profits while section 80-O restricts itself to income by way of royalty, commission or fees and excludes all other types of remuneration. [J.K. (Bombay) Ltd. v. CBDT, 91979) 118 ITR 312 (Del), distinguished in Oberoi Hotels (India) (P). Ltd. v. CBDT, (1982) 135 ITR 257 (Del) in connection with managing a modern hotel]. It may be noted that technical services should be rendered outside India and not in India, e.g., testing samples of products in laboratory in India would not amount to rendering technical services outside India. [Scarle (India) Ltd. v. CBDT, (1984) 145 ITR 573 (Bom)]. The information received from Indian consultants by the British Broadcasting Corporation, (BBC) on attitudes of the Indian audience for use by the BBC can be said to be used outside India. [E.P.W..Da Costa v. Union of India, (1980) 121 ITR 751 (Del)]. The information received from Indian consultants by the British Broadcasting Corporation, (BBC) on attitudes of the Indian audience for use by the BBC can be said to be used outside India. [E.P.W.Da Costa v. Union of India, (1980) 121 ITR 751 (Del)]. c.     Deduction in respect of remuneration of Indian technician for services outside India.-A technical who is a citizen of India is entitled to the deduction from his remuneration received by him in foreign currency from any employer (being a foreign currency from any employer (being a foreign employer or an Indian concern) for any services rendered by him outside India for a period of 3 years, of the higher of the following :                        i        50% of remuneration, or                       ii        75% of such remuneration as is brought into India by or on behalf of the assessee in accordance with the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 and any rules made thereunder. [See section 80 RRA, Income-tax Act]. It is significant that section 80-O RRA of the Income-tax Act, 1961, uses the expression “remuneration” and not “salary”, for a citizen of India, who receives remuneration in foreign currency for services rendered outside India, to be entitled to the deduction provided therein. There is no warrant for restricting the meaning of the expression “remuneration “ only to salary received by an employee abroad. “Remuneration” will cover fees paid to a consultant or technician. Further the word “employer” is used in section 80 RRA not in any technical sense but as meaning a person who uses or services of any person : It comprehends whole time servant or part-time engagee.

Where no indication is given in the Contract of the form of sale, the Plant shall be deemed to be sold “ex-works”. 6.2. In the case of a sale “ex-works’, the Vendor must give notice in writing to the Purchaser of the date on which the Purchaser must take delivery of the Plant. The notice of the Vendor must be given in sufficient time to allow the Purchaser to take such measures as are normally necessary for purpose of taking delivery. 7.       Delivery 7.1. Unless otherwise agreed, the delivery period shall run from the latest of the following dates : a.     the date of the formation of the Contract as defined in Clauses 2; b.    the date on which the vendor receives notice of the issue of a valid import licence where such is necessary for the execution of the Contract ; c.     the date of the receipt by the Vendor of such payment in advance of manufacture as is stipulated in the Contract. 7.2. Should delay in delivery be caused by any of the circumstances mentioned in Clauses 10 or by an act or omission of the Purchaser and whether such cause occurs before or after the time or extended time for delivery, there shall be granted subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 hereof such extension of the delivery period as is reasonable having regard to all circumstances of the case. 7.3. If a fixed time for delivery is provided for in the Contract, and the Vendor fails to deliver within such time or any extension thereof granted under paragraph 2 hereof, the Purchaser shall be entitled, on giving to the Vendor within a reasonable time notice in writing to claim a reduction of the price payable under the Contract, unless it can be reasonably concluded from the circumstances of the particular case that the Purchaser has suffered no loss. Such reduction shall equal the percentage named in paragraph A of the Appendix of that part of the price payable under the Contract which is properly attributable to such portion of the Plant as cannot in consequence of the said failure be put to the use intended for each complete week of delay commencing on the due date of delivery, but shall not exceed the maximum percentage named in paragraph B of the Appendix. Such reduction shall be allowed when a payment becomes due on or after delivery. Save as provided in paragraph 5 hereof, such reduction of price shall be to the exclusion of any other remedy of the Purchaser in respect of the Vendor’s failure to deliver as aforesaid. 7.4. If the time for delivery mentioned in the Contract is an estimate only, either party may after the expiration of two thirds of such estimated time require the other party in writing to agree a fixed time. Where no time for delivery is mentioned in the Contract, this course shall be open to either party after the expiration of six months from the formation of the Contract. If in either case the parties fail to agree, either party may have recourse to arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 13, to determine a reasonable time for delivery and the time so determined shall be deemed to be the fixed time for delivery provided for in the Contract and paragraph 3 hereof shall apply accordingly. 7.5. If any portion of the Plant is respect of which the Purchaser has become entitled to the maximum reduction provided for by paragraph 3 hereof, or in respect of which he would have been so entitled had he given the notice referred to therein, remains undelivered, the Purchaser many by notice in writing to the Vendor require him to deliver and by such last mentioned notice fix a final time for delivery which shall be reasonable, taking into account such delay as has already occurred. If for any reason whatever the Vendor fails within such time to do everything that he must do to effect delivery the Purchaser shall be entitled by notice in writing to the Vendor and without requiring the consent of any Court, to terminate the Contract in respect of such portion of the Plant and thereupon to recover from the Vendor any loss suffered by the Purchaser by reason of the failure of the Vendor as aforesaid up to an amount not exceeding the sum named in paragraph C of the Appendix or, if no sum be named, that part of the price payable under the Contract which is properly attributable to such portion of the Plant as could not in consequence of the Vendor’s failure be put to the use intended. 7.6. If the Purchaser fails to accept delivery on due date, he shall nevertheless make any payment conditional on delivery as if the Plant had been delivered. The Vendor shall arrange for the storage of the Plant at the risk and cost of the Purchaser. Provided that is the delay in accepting delivery is due to one of the circumstances mentioned in Clauses 10 and the Vendor is in a position to store it in his premises without prejudice to his business, the cost of storing the Plant shall not be borne by the Purchaser. 7.7. Unless the failure of the Purchaser is due to any of the circumstances mentioned in Clause 10, the Vendor may require Purchaser by notice in Writing to accept delivery within a reasonable time. If the Purchaser fails for any reason whatsoever to do so within time the Vendor shall be entitled by notice in writing to the Purchaser and without requiring the consent of any Court, to terminate the Contract in respect of such portion of the Plant as is by reason of such failure up to an amount not exceeding the sum named in paragraph D of the Appendix or, if no sum be named, that part of the price payable under the Contract which is properly attributable to such portion of the Plant. 8.       Payment 8.1. Payment shall be made in the manner and at the time or times agreed by the parties. 8.2. Any advance payments made by the Purchaser are payments on account and do not constitute a deposit, the abandonment of which would entitle either party to terminate the Contract. 8.3. If delivery has been made before payment of the whole sum payable under the Contract, Plant delivered shall to the extent permitted by the law of the country where the Plant is situated after delivery remain the property of the Vendor until such payment has been effected. If such law does not permit the Vendor to retain the property in the Plant, the Vendor shall be entitled to the benefit of such other rights in respect thereof as such law permits him to retain. The Purchaser shall give the Vendor every assistance in taking any measures required to protect the Vendor’s right of property or such other rights as aforesaid. 8.4. A payment conditional on the fulfilment of an obligation by the Vendor shall not be due until such obligation has been fulfilled unless the failure of the Vendor is due to an act or omission of the Purchaser. 8.5. If the Purchaser delays in making any payment the Vendor may postpone the fulfillment of his own obligations until such payment is made unless the failure of the Purchaser is due to an act or omission of the Vendor. 8.6. If delay by the Purchaser in making any payment is due to one of the circumstances mentioned in Clause 10, the Vendor shall not be entitled to any interest on the sum due. 8.7. Save as aforesaid, if the Purchaser delays in making any payment, the Vendor shall on giving to the Purchaser within a reasonable time notice in writing be entitled to the payment on interest on the sum due at the rate fixed in paragraph E of the Appendix from the date on which such sum become due. If at the end of the period fixed in paragraph F of the Appendix, the Purchaser shall still have failed to pay the sum due, the Vendor shall be entitled by notice in writing to the Purchaser, and without requiring the consent to any Court, to terminate the Contract and thereupon to recover from the Purchaser the amount of his loss up to the sum mentioned in paragraph D of the Appendix. 9.       Guarantee 9.1. Subject as hereinafter set out, the Vendor undertakes to remedy any defect resulting from faulty design, materials or workmanship. 9.2. This liability is limited to defects which appear during the period (hereinafter called “the Guarantee Period”) specified in paragraph C of Appendix. 9.3. In fixing this period due account has been taken of the time normally required for transport as contemplated in the Contract. 9.4. In respect of such parts (whether of the Vendor’s own manufacture or not) of the Plant as are expressly mentioned in the Contract, the Guarantee Period shall be such other period (if any) as is specified in respect of each of such parts. 9.5. The Guarantee Period shall start from the date on which the Purchaser receives notification in writing from the Vendor that the Plant is ready for dispatch from the works. If dispatch is delayed, the Guarantee Period shall be extended by a period equivalent to the amount of the delay so as to permit the Purchaser the full benefit of the time given for trying out the Plant. Provided however that if such delay is due to a cause beyond the control of the Vendor such extension shall not exceed the number of months stated in paragraph 11 of the Appendix. 9.6. The daily use of the Plant and the amount by which the Guarantee period shall be reduced if the Plant is used more intensively are sated in paragraph 1 of the Appendix. 9.7. A fresh Guarantee Period equal to that stated in paragraph G of the Appendix shall apply, under the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the original Plant, to parts supplied in replacement of defective parts renewed in pursuance of this clause. This provision shall not apply to the remaining parts of the Plant , the Guarantee Period of which shall be extended only by a period equal to the period during which the Plant is out of actions as a result of a defect covered by this Clause. 9.8. In order to be able to avail himself of his rights under this clause the Purchaser shall notify the Vendor in writing without delay of and defects that have appeared and shall give him every opportunity of inspecting and remedying them. 9.9. On receipt of such notification the Vendor shall remedy the defect forthwith and, save as mentioned in paragraph 10 hereof, at his own expense.

It is expressly agreed that the Purchaser shall have no claim in respect, of personal injury or of damages to property not the subject-matter of the Contract or of loss or profit unless it is shown from the circumstances of the case that the Vendor has been guilty of gross misconduct. 9.17.   “Gross Misconduct” does not comprise any and every lack or proper care of skill, but means and act or omission on the part of the Vendor implying either a failure to pay due regard to serous consequences which a conscientious Contractor would normally foresee as likely to ensure, or a deliberate disregard of any consequences of such act or omission. 10.    Reliefs 10.1.   The following shall be considered as cases of relief if they intervene after the formation of the Contract and impede its performance :Industrial disputes and any other circumstances (e.g. fire, mobilization, requisition, embargo, currency restrictions, insurrection, shortage of materials and restrictions, insurrection, shortage of transport, general shortage of materials and restrictions in the use of power) when such other circumstances are beyond the control of the parties. 10.2.   The party wishing to claim relief by reason of any of the said circumstances shall notify the other party in writing without delay on the intervention and on the cessation thereof. 10.3.   The effects of the said circumstances, so far as they affect the timely performance of their obligations by the parties, are defined in Clauses 7 and 8. Save as provided in Paragraph 7.5,7.7 and 8.7., if by reason of any of the said circumstances, the performance of the Contract within a reasonable time becomes impossible, either party shall be entitled to terminate the contract. 10.4.   If the Contract is terminated in accordance with paragraph 3 hereof, the division of the expenses incurred in respect of the Contract shall be determined by agreement between the parties. 10.5.   In default of agreement it shall be determined by the arbitrator which party has been prevented from performing his obligations and the party shall bear the whole of the said expenses. Where the Purchaser is required to bear the whole of the expenses and has before termination of the Contract paid to the Vendor more than the Vendor’s expenses, the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the excess. If the arbitrator determines that both parties have been prevented from performing their obligations, he shall apportion the said expenses between the parties in such manner as to him seem fair and reasonable, having regard to all the circumstances of the case. 10.6.   For the purposes of this Clause “expenses” means actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred, after both parties shall have mitigated their losses as far as possible. Provided that as respects Plant delivered to the Purchase the Vendor’s expenses shall be deemed to be that part of the price payable under the Contract which is properly attributable thereto. 11.    Limitations of damages 11.1.   Whether either party is liable in damages to the other these shall not exceed the damage which the party in default could reasonably have foreseen at the time of the formation of the Contract. 11.2.   The party who sets up a breach of the Contract shall be under a duty to take all necessary measures to mitigate the loss which has occurred provided that he can do so without unreasonable inconvenience, or cost.
