The husband has to prove that the wife has been denying him all the marital rights & has withdrawn from his society without any major reason. On the other hand, the wife has to show such proofs that show the actual valid reason for the withdrawal such as any matrimonial misconduct that made it impossible for her to continue to live with him. If she fails to do so, the court will pass a decree to restitute the conjugal rights of the husband.

This can be transferred by application to the High Court or Supreme Court as well, according to the severity of the case or requirement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 2) After the filing of the petition, a copy of the petition is sent to the respondent-wife along with the date of hearing from the district court. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 3) Both parties have to be present on the date of the hearing. If both parties are not present, the court gives another date.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 4) The next step is counseling/mediation sent by the court. It is done by the family court, as provided in the Family Courts Act. This takes approximately 4 months.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">⛔ <b>What happens in Counseling?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once the parties are sent to counseling, they need to appear before a counselor. The counselor may be someone who has been appointed by the court. Counseling takes place on 2-3 dates with a gap of 2-3 weeks between two dates. Here, both parties are given a chance to present their versions of the facts, and the counselor tries to come to an understanding. In the end, the counselor offers advice. This may sort out the differences to go back to the husband, or to go for a divorce by mutual consent.

However, if the parties refuse to proceed according to the suggestions of the counselor, the counselor will forward the application back to court on grounds that mediation has failed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">WhatsApp Chat 📲 <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/753337695102390476/7336246407261247736#">WA.me/918779696580</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 5) Once the application is back in court, the suit will continue, and the respondent-wife is required to give her ‘counter’ to the husband’s application. Oral arguments will proceed to dispose of the interim petitions first and pass the interim order.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 6) The husband has to file a Chief Examination Affidavit for producing evidence that the wife has left him, which will result in cross-examination.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">📌 7) Final arguments take place next, where both the parties represent their version of facts and ultimately pray for relief from the Judge.

This might be done by breaking up large amount of money into less conspicuous smaller sums which are deposited directly into a Bank Account or by purchasing a series of financial products<b>.</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>📌 Layering:</b></p><p dir="ltr">In this stage, the Money Launderer typically engages in a series of continuous conversions or movements of funds, within the financial or banking system by way of numerous accounts, so as to hide their true origin and to distance them from their criminal source. The Money Launderer may use various channels for movement of funds, like a series of Bank Accounts, sometimes spread across the globe, especially in those jurisdictions which do not cooperate in anti-money laundering investigations.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>📌 Integration:</b></p><p dir="ltr">Having successfully processed through the first two stages of Money Laundering, the Launderer then moves to this third stage in which the funds reach the legitimate economy, after getting inseparably mixed with the legitimate money earned through legal sources of income. The Money Launderer might then choose to invest the funds into real estate, business ventures & luxury assets, etc. so that he can enjoy the laundered money, without any fear of law enforcement agencies.</p><p dir="ltr">The above three steps may not always follow each other. At times, illegal money may be mixed with legitimate money, even prior to placement in the financial system. In certain cash rich businesses like Gambling and Real Estate, the proceeds of crime may be invested without entering the mainstream financial system at all.</p><p dir="ltr">Before appearing on summons at Enforcement Directorate and recording your statements, please make sure you've consulted with Ozg Lawyers.

The government may, however, make any of these suggestions mandatory whenever it feels it necessary to do so.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some suggested steps, which help in increasing the security of the telecom networks are as follows:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">a) The licensee may sign a suitable agreement with the hardware/software manufacturer/vendor and/or supplier of services to ensure that the equipment/services/software they supply are ‘safe to connect’ in the network, have been checked thoroughly for risks and vulnerabilities, all addressable vulnerabilities have been addressed and that non-addressable vulnerabilities have been listed with remedial measures and precautions have been provided. The agreement should cover aspects related to security measures like access control, password control and management etc. Clauses addressing service continuity and service up-gradation should also be suitably included in the agreement, with consequences defined for each party in the case of breach, particularly for security breaches. As an information dissemination and facilitating measure, the suggested clauses for such agreement, in the form of a template, will be available on the website of the DoT. Service providers may take all, or selected, provisions from this template, depending upon the type of services they avail from a vendor/supplier. They are free to add, modify, delete any of the clauses from this template, because security of their networks is their responsibility and they will be liable for any security breach.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">b) Licensees should endeavour to create a forum, say the Telecom Security Council of India (TSCI), on a voluntary basis to increase security assurance levels and to share common issues.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(c) The licensee shall build its own capability and capacity to maintain and operate the network, preferably through local maintenance personnel, because telecom networks are security sensitive infrastructure.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">35 Application of Indian Telegraph Act:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">35.1 The licensee shall adopt all means, and facilitate in every manner, the application of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 and Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933 as modified or replaced from time to time.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Some new born Startups proposed
that the contact center be run over a cloud-hosted telephony system. As per
their model, calls would be generated from abroad, sent to a Cloud Hosted Automatic
Call Distribution System (ACD) which would also be based abroad, and then
routed over to the India-based contact center. Agents sitting in the contact
center would connect to the ACD accounts to receive and make calls. The
argument fundamentally was that, since there is no PSTN anywhere in the whole
setup, and the whole contact center has no possibility of PSTN-VOIP merging,
the contact center would legally comply with OSP norms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 24pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">DoT guidelines explicitly
state that Voice traffic must be routed through MPLS, Point to Point link or
PSTN path only. In India, carrying voice over the Internet for commercial use
is not allowed. There are any number of reasons for this, but the salients ones
are:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 22.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; font-size: 10.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">The Voice managing server is
outside India, so DoT and security agencies become worried about getting access
to the ACDs and the CDRs and system logs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 22.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.6pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Additionally, from a security
point of view, in this model, it becomes far more difficult to capture and
decrypt voice conversations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Note that one of the key
defining requirements for OSP approval is that national security requirements
be maintained — and this variant of the cloud-hosted model clearly fails that
requirement. DoT does not approve these kinds of architectures. All OSPs will
need to take the connection from India based authorized VoIP service providers
only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Finally, when we see
the </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Clarification Terms and Condition for OSP dated №18–1/2009-CS-1
Dated: the 25th February, 2009</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">, issued by the DoT, it explicitly mentions
that “use of Foreign VoIP minutes by OSPs is not permissible”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 24.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">In short, our advice to all
OSPs that intend to use cloud-hosted systems in this fashion is simple — avoid,
avoid, avoid! Remember the cost of compliance may seem high, but it is far
lower than the cost of being caught in non-compliance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1. The very first step to file a cyber crime complaint is to register a written complaint with the cyber crime cell of the city you are currently in. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">According to the IT Act, a cyber crime comes under the purview of global jurisdiction. This means that a cyber crime complaint can be registered with any of the cyber cells in India, irrespective of the place where it was originally committed.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">At present, most cities in India have a dedicated cyber crime cell. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><img height="640" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EA8oZQoU4AAylEk.jpg" width="480" /></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">2. When filing the cyber crime complaint, you need to provide your name, contact details and address for mailing. You need to address the written complaint to the Head of the Cyber Crime Cell of the city where you are filing the cyber crime complaint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">3. In case you are a victim of online harassment / stalking, an <b>Ozg Legal Counsel</b> can be approached via WhatsApp to assist you with reporting it to the police station. Additionally, you may be asked to provide certain documents or records with the complaint. This would, however, depend on the nature of the crime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">4. Register a Cyber Crime FIR: If you do not have access to any of the cyber cells in India, you can file a First Information Report (FIR) at the local police station. In case your complaint is not accepted there, you can approach to the Commissioner or the city’s Judicial Magistrate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">5. Certain cyber crime offenses come under the Indian Penal Code. You can register a cyber crime FIR at the nearest local police station to report them. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It is mandatory under Section 154, Code of Criminal Procedure, for every police officer to record the information / complaint of an offense, irrespective of the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">6. Most of the cyber crimes that are covered under the Indian Penal Code are classified as cognizable offenses. A cognizable offense is the one in which a warrant is not required for an arrest or investigation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">In this case, a police officer is bound to record a Zero FIR from the complainant. He must then forward it to the police station under the jurisdiction of the place where the offense was committed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">7. Zero FIR offers some solace to victims of cases that require immediate attention / investigation as it avoids wasting time in enlisting the offense on police records.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">a) Section 65B of Indian Evidence Act refer to the special provisions of the Act in respect of Electronic Documents. Though Section 65 is referring to “Secondary” documents in paper form, there is no such distinction made as to the electronic document.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">b) There is no need to distinguish Primary and Secondary and all documents need to be interpreted by a human being which takes the form of a Section 65B certificate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">c) A “Hard disk” which may contain an electronic document also cannot be considered the “Primary Document” since it is only a “Container” and the real Electronic document is an expression in binary language which cannot be read by a human being and needs to be interpreted with the assistance of a binary reading device</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">d) Section 65B explains the conditions under which an electronic document can be considered as “Admissible” in a Court as a “Document” and it needs to be suitably confirmed for the Court to accept the document, which is often termed as “Section 65B certificate or Statement”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">e) Section 65B refers to a process of producing a “Computer Output” of the electronic document which is the evidence to be admitted and such computer output can be either in the form of a “Print Out” or a “Copy”.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">f) There is a “Process” by which the electronic document becomes the “Computer output” and Section 65B identifies this as the subject activity which needs to be conducted by a person having lawful control over the computer producing such output and that during the period of such production, the Computer should be working properly etc.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">g) The focus of Section 65B is the activity of conversion of the electronic document residing inside a system which can be seen by an observer into a “Computer Output”.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; outline: none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">h) The other clarifications contained in the Section 65B such as that the Computer Output could be produced by a combination of computers, acting in succession etc. as relating to dynamic creation of an electronic document from a data base and routing it through multiple devices onto a final visible form in the computer of the observer and thereafter its porting into a Printer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; outline: none medium;">It is very important that the legal fraternity and the Judiciary interprets the section properly. Any interpretation that only a “Server Administrator” can provide a certificate under Section 65B is considered incorrect. The server administrator can however provide the certificate but it is not mandatory. The Section 65B certifier is like a photographer who captures a photograph of an event and confirms the process of taking the photograph though he may not be aware of who is there in the picture and what they are doing. It is left to other “Experts” to interpret the “Content” and impute meaning as only a subject matter expert can do.</span></div>

<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You must invest in a new commercial enterprise.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">An investment of $1 million (or $500,000 if the investment is located in a targeted employment area).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The investment must lead to the creation of 10 full-time jobs for US workers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The investment funds must be put at risk (meaning that the funds cannot just sit in the business bank account, they must actually be spent).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The source of investment funds should be transparent and compliant with FEMA.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The process of getting an EB5 visa has multiple steps. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><a href="https://wa.me/918779696580">1. Put funds at risk:</a></span> You are first required to put your investment funds at risk by actually investing the funds or through a qualifying escrow arrangement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Form I-526:</a></span> Once the funds are invested, you can then file the Form I-526. The I-526 is the initial form you are required to file for your EB5 visa. Once the I-526 is approved, you can then apply for your immigrant visa or apply to adjust status if you are in the US.</span></div>

Visa Processing/Adjustment of Status:</a> </span>The Form I-526 does not give you any status in the US. Once your Form I-526 is approved, you will need to either apply for an immigrant visa (if you are outside of the US), or you will apply for an adjustment of status (if you are in the US in a valid non-immigrant status).</span></div>

Conditional Permanent Residency:</a></span> Once enter the US with your EB5 visa, or your adjustment of status petition is approved, you are classified as a conditional permanent resident for a 2-year period. As a conditional permanent resident, you have all of the same rights as a permanent resident with the exception that your status as a permanent resident only lasts for a 2-year period. During this time, you are required to keep your EB5 investment funds at risk and you are also required to create the 10 full-time jobs for US workers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here is a list of all the fees and costs that are needed for an EB5 Visa:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1.<a href="http://ozglaw.com/">EB5 Investment</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The biggest and most important cost required to get an EB5 visa is your EB5 investment. The EB5 investment is the sum you are required to invest to qualify for an EB5 visa. The current minimum investment amount to qualify for an EB5 visa is $1 million. However, if you invest in a business that is located in a targeted employment area, you may qualify to invest a reduced amount of $500,000. An area can qualify as a targeted employment area if it is a rural area or an area of high unemployment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To qualify for an EB5 visa, you can either start a business, invest in an existing business, purchase an existing business, or invest in a regional center.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To qualify for an EB5 visa, you must file a Form I-526 with USCIS. The Form I-526 is also called the Immigrant Petition for Alien Entrepreneur. To process your Form I-526, USCIS charges a fee. The current filing fee required for the Form I-526 is $3,675. You are only required to pay this fee once, for you and all dependents included in your EB5 visa case.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Form I-526, by itself, does not give you any right to live or work in the US. Once your Form I-526 is approved, you must then either apply for an immigrant visa or apply for an adjustment of status.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">An adjustment of status is when you go from a non-immigrant status to immigrant status. In order to be eligible for an adjustment of status, you need to be in the United States in a lawful non-immigrant status that allows for an adjustment of status. The entire adjustment of status process is handled inside the US. To apply for an adjustment of status, you are required to file a Form I-485 with USCIS. The filing fee for the Form I-485 is $1,225 per person (if you are age 14-79) and slightly less if you are either younger than 14 or older than 79.</span></div>

Visa processing, or consular processing, is when you apply for a visa at a US embassy. To apply for an immigrant visa, first you have to apply for police verification then you must file a Form DS-260 with the Department of State. The filing fee for the DS-260 is currently $345 per person. In addition to filing the DS-260, you will also be required to attend a visa interview.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To qualify for an EB5 visa, you can either make a direct investment or you can invest in a regional center. A regional center is a business entity, designated by USCIS, to collect EB5 investment funds from multiple EB5 investors. Regional centers typically develop large projects such as resorts and other major developments. A direct investment is when you either start your own business, invest in another business (not a regional center), or purchase an existing business.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The regional center managing directors will manage the business, be responsible for EB5 job creation, and handle other management tasks. Your role in the operations of the business are very limited. For most regional center projects, EB5 investors are classified as limited members and have voting rights and other similar rights.</span></div>

If you choose to invest in a regional center, the regional center will provide you with the business plan and other necessary project documents.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Baill Laws in India are described under Section 437, 438, 439
of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. A brief description of the aforesaid
sections is given hereunder for ready reference:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Section 437 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 contemplates
that any person arrested or detained in a non-bail able offence, the Court
other than Sessions Court may grant him bail.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 contemplates
that the Session Court or the High Court may grant anticipatory bail to a
person apprehending arrest.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 contemplates
that the Sessions Court or the High Court can grant bail to a person who has
been arrested.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bail laws in India are very complicated as the bail to any
accused person is at the discretion of the court which considers the facts of
the case, the conduct of the accused, the background of the accused, the law
and several other factors. The role of a lawyer in getting bail from the court
becomes very important as the accused can be confined to judicial custody if
the case is not properly presented and contested before the court by a
competent lawyer.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div align="center" class="head" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">Directions on Managing Risks and Code of Conduct in Outsourcing of Financial Services by NBFC-P2P</span></div>
<div class="head" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1. Introduction</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1.1 'Outsourcing' is defined as the NBFC’s use of a third party (either an affiliated entity within a corporate group or an entity that is external to the corporate group) to perform activities on a continuing basis that would normally be undertaken by the NBFC itself, now or in the future.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">‘Continuing basis' includes agreements for a limited period.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1.2 NBFCs have been outsourcing various activities and are hence exposed to various risks as detailed in para 5.3. Further, the outsourced activities are to be brought within regulatory purview to a) protect the interest of the customers of NBFCs and b) to ensure that the NBFC concerned and the Reserve Bank of India have access to all relevant books, records and information available with service provider. Typically outsourced financial services include applications processing (loan origination, credit card), document processing, marketing and research, supervision of loans, data processing and back office related activities, besides others.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1.3 Some key risks in outsourcing are Strategic Risk, Reputation Risk, Compliance Risk, Operational Risk, Legal Risk, Exit Strategy Risk, Counterparty Risk, Country Risk, Contractual Risk, Access Risk, Concentration and Systemic Risk. The failure of a service provider in providing a specified service, a breach in security/ confidentiality, or non-compliance with legal and regulatory requirements by the service provider can lead to financial losses or loss of reputation for the NBFC and could also lead to systemic risks.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1.4 It is therefore imperative for the NBFC outsourcing its activities to ensure sound and responsive risk management practices for effective oversight, due diligence and management of risks arising from such outsourced activities. The directions are applicable to material outsourcing arrangements as explained in para 3 which may be entered into by an NBFC with a service provider located in India or elsewhere. The service provider may either be a member of the group/ conglomerate to which the NBFC belongs, or an unrelated party.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1.5 The underlying principles behind these directions are that the regulated entity shall ensure that outsourcing arrangements neither diminish its ability to fulfil its obligations to customers and RBI nor impede effective supervision by RBI. NBFCs, therefore, have to take steps to ensure that the service provider employs the same high standard of care in performing the services as is expected to be employed by the NBFCs, if the activities were conducted within the NBFCs and not outsourced. Accordingly, NBFCs shall not engage in outsourcing that would result in their internal control, business conduct or reputation being compromised or weakened.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">1.6 (i) These directions are concerned with managing risks in outsourcing of financial services and are not applicable to technology-related issues and activities not related to financial services, such as usage of courier, catering of staff, housekeeping and janitorial services, security of the premises, movement and archiving of records, etc. NBFCs which desire to outsource financial services would not require prior approval from RBI. However, such arrangements would be subject to on-site/ off- site monitoring and inspection/ scrutiny by RBI.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">(ii) In regard to outsourced services relating to credit cards, RBI's detailed instructions contained in its circular on credit card activities vide DBOD.FSD.BC.49/24.01.011/2005-06 dated November 21, 2005 would be applicable.</span></div>
<div class="head" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">2. Activities that shall not be outsourced</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">NBFCs which choose to outsource financial services shall, however, not outsource core management functions including Internal Audit, Strategic and Compliance functions and decision-making functions such as determining compliance with KYC norms for opening deposit accounts, according sanction for loans (including retail loans) and management of investment portfolio. However, for NBFCs in a group/conglomerate, these functions may be outsourced within the group subject to compliance with instructions in Para 6.Further, while internal audit function itself is a management process, the internal auditors can be on contract.</span></div>
<div class="head" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">3. Material Outsourcing</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">For the purpose of these directions, material outsourcing arrangements are those which, if disrupted, have the potential to significantly impact the business operations, reputation, profitability or customer service. Materiality of outsourcing would be based on:</span></div>
<ul style="font-size: 13px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 65px;">
<li><div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green;">the level of importance to the NBFC of the activity being outsourced as well as the significance of the risk posed by the same;</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green;">the potential impact of the outsourcing on the NBFC on various parameters such as earnings, solvency, liquidity, funding capital and risk profile;</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green;">the likely impact on the NBFC’s reputation and brand value, and ability to achieve its business objectives, strategy and plans, should the service provider fail to perform the service;</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green;">the cost of the outsourcing as a proportion of total operating costs of the NBFC;</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green;">the aggregate exposure to that particular service provider, in cases where the NBFC outsources various functions to the same service provider and</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green;">the significance of activities outsourced in context of customer service and protection.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="head" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">4. NBFC's role and Regulatory and Supervisory Requirements</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">4.1 The outsourcing of any activity by NBFC does not diminish its obligations, and those of its Board and senior management, who have the ultimate responsibility for the outsourced activity. NBFCs would therefore be responsible for the actions of their service provider including Direct Sales Agents/ Direct Marketing Agents and recovery agents and the confidentiality of information pertaining to the customers that is available with the service provider. NBFCs shall retain ultimate control of the outsourced activity.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">4.2 It is imperative for the NBFC, when performing its due diligence in relation to outsourcing, to consider all relevant laws, regulations, guidelines and conditions of approval, licensing or registration.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: green;"></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin: 5px;">
<span style="color: green;">4.3 Outsourcing arrangements shall not affect the rights of a customer against the NBFC, including the ability of the customer to obtain redress as applicable under relevant laws. In cases where the customers are required to deal with the service providers in the process of dealing with the NBFC, NBFCs shall incorporate a clause in the relative product literature/ brochures, etc., stating that they may use the services of agents in sales/ marketing etc. of the products. The role of agents may be indicated in broad terms.</span></div>
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">4.4 The service provider shall not impede or interfere with the ability of the NBFC to effectively oversee and manage its activities nor shall it impede the Reserve Bank of India in carrying out its supervisory functions and objectives.</span></div>
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">4.5 NBFCs need to have a robust grievance redress mechanism, which in no way shall be compromised on account of outsourcing.</span></div>
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">
</span>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">4.6 The service provider, if not a group company of the NBFC, shall not be owned or controlled by any director of the NBFC or their relatives; these terms have the same meaning as assigned under Companies Act, 2013.</span></div>
<span style="color: green; font-size: 13px;">
<div class="head" style="font-weight: bold; margin: 5px !important;">
5. Risk Management practices for Outsourced Financial Services</div>
<div class="head" style="font-weight: bold; margin: 5px !important;">
5.1 Outsourcing Policy</div>

5.6 Confidentiality and Security</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">

<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
5.6.3 The NBFC shall ensure that the service provider is able to isolate and clearly identify the NBFC's customer information, documents, records and assets to protect the confidentiality of the information.

<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
5.8.1 An NBFC shall require its service providers to develop and establish a robust framework for documenting, maintaining and testing business continuity and recovery procedures. NBFCs need to ensure that the service provider periodically tests the Business Continuity and Recovery Plan and may also consider occasional joint testing and recovery exercises with its service provider.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
5.8.2 In order to mitigate the risk of unexpected termination of the outsourcing agreement or liquidation of the service provider, NBFCs shall retain an appropriate level of control over their outsourcing and the right to intervene with appropriate measures to continue its business operations in such cases without incurring prohibitive expenses and without any break in the operations of the NBFC and its services to the customers.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">

<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
5.8.4 Outsourcing often leads to the sharing of facilities operated by the service provider. The NBFC shall ensure that service providers are able to isolate the NBFC's information, documents and records, and other assets. This is to ensure that in appropriate situations, all documents, records of transactions and information given to the service provider, and assets of the NBFC, can be removed from the possession of the service provider in order to continue its business operations, or deleted, destroyed or rendered unusable.</div>
<div class="head" style="font-weight: bold; margin: 5px !important;">

<div style="margin: 5px !important;">

<div class="head" style="font-weight: bold; margin: 5px !important;">
6. Outsourcing within a Group/ Conglomerate</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
6.1 In a group structure, NBFCs may have back-office and service arrangements/ agreements with group entities e.g. sharing of premises, legal and other professional services, hardware and software applications, centralize back-office functions, outsourcing certain financial services to other group entities, etc. Before entering into such arrangements with group entities, NBFCs shall have a Board approved policy and also service level agreements/arrangements with their group entities, which shall also cover demarcation of sharing resources i.e. premises, personnel, etc. Moreover the customers shall be informed specifically about the company which is actually offering the product/service, wherever there are multiple group entities involved or any cross selling observed.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
6.2 While entering into such arrangements, NBFCs shall ensure that these:</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
a. are appropriately documented in written agreements with details like scope of services, charges for the services and maintaining confidentiality of the customer's data;</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
b. do not lead to any confusion to the customers on whose products/services they are availing by clear physical demarcation of the space where the activities of the NBFC and those of its other group entities are undertaken;</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
c. do not compromise the ability to identify and manage risk of the NBFC on a stand-alone basis;</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">

<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
6.4 If the premises of the NBFC are shared with the group entities for the purpose of cross-selling, NBFCs shall take measures to ensure that the entity's identification is distinctly visible and clear to the customers. The marketing brochure used by the group entity and verbal communication by its staff / agent in the NBFCs premises shall mention nature of arrangement of the entity with the NBFC so that the customers are clear on the seller of the product.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">

<div class="head" style="font-weight: bold; margin: 5px !important;">
7. Off-shore outsourcing of Financial Services</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
7.1 The engagement of service providers in a foreign country exposes an NBFC to country risk -economic, social and political conditions and events in a foreign country that may adversely affect the NBFC. Such conditions and events could prevent the service provider from carrying out the terms of its agreement with the NBFC. To manage the country risk involved in such outsourcing activities, the NBFC shall take into account and closely monitor government policies and political, social, economic and legal conditions in countries where the service provider is based, both during the risk assessment process and on a continuous basis, and establish sound procedures for dealing with country risk problems. This includes having appropriate contingency and exit strategies. In principle, arrangements shall only be entered into with parties operating in jurisdictions generally upholding confidentiality clauses and agreements. The governing law of the arrangement shall also be clearly specified.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
7.2 The activities outsourced outside India shall be conducted in a manner so as not to hinder efforts to supervise or reconstruct the India activities of the NBFC in a timely manner.</div>

<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
a) Where the off-shore service provider is a regulated entity, the relevant off-shore regulator will neither obstruct the arrangement nor object to RBI inspection visits/ visits of NBFCs internal and external auditors.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
b) The availability of records to management and the RBI will withstand the liquidation of either the offshore custodian or the NBFC in India.</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
c) The regulatory authority of the offshore location does not have access to the data relating to Indian operations of the NBFC simply on the ground that the processing is being undertaken there (not applicable if off shore processing is done in the home country of the NBFC).</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
d) The jurisdiction of the courts in the off shore location where data is maintained does not extend to the operations of the NBFC in India on the strength of the fact that the data is being processed there even though the actual transactions are undertaken in India and</div>
<div style="margin: 5px !important;">
e) All original records continue to be maintained in India.</div>

The name of the company may be such which reflects the business activity or it might be something simple & easy. There are abundant factors which are considered while finalizing a suitable name because in Long run the name will be a Brand. Sometimes, there arises a requirement to change the existing name of a Company due to change in its objects, corporate restructurings etc. Whatever might be the reason, Change of the name of a Company can only be done after complying with laws applicable to the Company. The legal provisions and procedure are discussed here in detail.</blockquote>

The Name change procedure of NBFC is very much similar to similar to non-NBFC Company except for the requirement of RBI Approval in advance. Name Change in a company usually is done due to change in business activity of the company. The name change also occurs if there is a change in management of the company. If an <a href="http://nbfc.co.in/">NBFC</a> requires changing its name, it requires passing a special resolution in a board meeting. The minutes of the meeting needs to be submitted to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) with the request for name change.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;">2) <b><span style="color: cyan;">Documents Required</span><span style="color: blue;">: </span></b></span>For availing gold loans you require only address proof and identity proof documents like Aadhaar card or Voter's ID card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;">3)<b> <span style="color: cyan;">Interest Rate</span><span style="color: blue;">:</span></b> </span>Typically banks (public and private sector banks) charge interest rate between 9-16 per cent on gold loans. However, if you avail gold loan from an </span><a href="http://nbfc.in/"><b><span style="color: black;">NBFC</span></b></a><span style="font-size: medium;">, interest rates could be higher. Further, gold loans given to women borrowers and for agricultural purpose carry lesser interest rate than gold loans given for a business purpose. For SBI, gold loans are priced at 2 per cent above the 1-year MCLR, which is currently 8.15 per cent (effective rate 10.15 per cent).</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;">4) <b>Other Charges:</b> </span>Other than interest rate, banks and </span><a href="http://nbfc.in/"><b><span style="color: black;">NBFC</span></b></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: cyan;">s</span> also charge a loan processing fee of up to 2 per cent, gold valuation fees and stamp duty as applicable in a particular state. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue;">5) <b>How much gold you need to mortgage:</b> </span> Financial institutions offer loan up to 75 per cent of the value of gold. Making-charge of gold ornaments and taxes paid for buying them are not considered for determining the value of gold. Amount of loan also depends on the purity of gold. Jewellery without any purity certification (like BIS Hallmark) attract higher haircut. However, it should be noted that lending institutions may ask for higher margin if gold prices depict excess fluctuation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #38761d;">6) <b>Repayment:</b></span> Financial institutions typically offer between 6-60 months to repay a gold loan. Interest amount needs to be paid on a monthly basis while the capital amount needs to be paid on maturity. Some banks also offer EMI (equated monthly installment) facility to repay gold loans. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #38761d;">7) <b>Part payment / Pre-payment:</b></span> Lending institutions also offer part repayment and prepayment facility on gold loans. However, some charge a pre-payment penalty on these loans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: #38761d;">8)<b> Renewal:</b></span> </span>If you are not able to repay your gold loan in the stipulated time frame, you can also renew your gold loan for another six months, one year or two years depending on the terms and conditions of the lending organisation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #38761d;">9) </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Disbursal:</span> </b>Gold loans are disbursed within few hours. One can either receive the loan amount in cash or can opt for account credit. Typically banks do not allow cash disbursal for gold loans above a particular amount like Rs 1 lakh or Rs 2 lakh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">10) At the time of disbursal, banks give a detailed list of gold jewellery / coins mortgaged along with their valuation details. You need to produce that document at the time of closure of loan in order to get your gold back.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Gold Loan industry has grown from an unorganised 'rural pawn
broker' situation to a Rs 80,000 crore corporate business in India.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Given the scale at which the business of lending money at
usurious rates against the collateral of gold is growing, RBI now seems to be
worried about the possibility of a gold loan bubble building up in the system
and is contemplating tighter regulation for the sector.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><img alt="Image result for ozg gold loan" height="400" src="https://nbfcregistration.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/0434b-23164891_896470597167603_3410532842835279872_n.jpg?w=1108" width="400" /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The
regulation could be in the form of limits on the loan
that a gold loan firm can give as a percentage of the value of mortgage.
The RBI may also restrict the maximum interest that a gold loan firm
can
charge its customers, and also the penalties that gold loan firms can
impose.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">RBI is concerned about the end use of the money lent out
against loan. Unlike other loans where one is buying a house or a car or any
other asset, loans against gold is a "cash-for-cash" situation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">However, since much of the loan is collaterised against one's
possessions, a sharp drop in gold prices is likely to set off a chain of events
that may wreck havoc on the financial structure of gold loan companies.</span></div>

proportionately reduced.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It
will be mandatory on the part of the NBFCs to provide full details of

any amount over and above the loan outstanding should be payable to the
borrower.</span></span></span></div>
