ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS AN ORDINARY ICSI MEMBER

Got Clarification from PMO office as CSR spending in Kerala’s recent flood havoc- Many Corporates had doubt whether they can contribute their CSR funds to recent Kerala flood havoc and engage in rehabilitation initiatives in Kerala.  I wrote to PMO through my blog and PMO office clarified that the annexure to General Circular no. 21/2014 dated 18.06.2014 gives clarification for undertaking disaster relief as eligible CSR activities. Companies can undertake CSR activities on its own or through trust/society/Section 8 Companies as has been mentioned in Companies (CSR Policy) Rules, 2014.

Without being any Central or Regional Council member , I am proud to claim that being member of ICSI , I am able to achieve this feat.

FOUGHT FOR MEMBER’S UNNATURAL DEATH AND COLLECTED DONATION TO HIS FAMILY

V Saseendran,  Company Secretary of Malabar Cements and their two sons Vyas and Vivek  found hanging in the house in 2011.Mr. Saseedharan was the instrument in unearthing a scam of Rs 400 crore in Malabar Cements.  Mr, Saseedhaan was intimated and he was  compelled to resign and just two days after a chargesheet was filed in the case, Saseendran was found dead. 

Post-mortem report revealed eight bruises on Saseendran’s body. Soon, an FIR named the Malabar’s  Managing Director Sundara Moorthy, his secretary Sooryanarayanan and VM Radhakrishnan, a private contractor with MCL.

I was instrumental in raising the issue among members and collected donation from our members for his family. Further , I repeatedly followed up the matter with the various levels for ordering CBI inquiry in Mr. Saseedharn’s death. 

This was happened when I was an ordinary member of the institute. If I am elected to Central Council , I will work for the member’s welfare day and night.

MADE RBI TO AMEND FEMA IN TUNE WITH COMPANIES ACT 2013

There existed contradictions between Companies Act and FEMA for the number of days within which allottment of shares have to be made. FEMA prescribed 180 days whereas Companies Act 2013 prescribed it for 60 days. I wrote to Finance Ministry about this and RBI vide its press release dated 4th February 2016 stated that  is proposed  for Changes in Timeframe for Issue of Shares and Reporting of FDI; Invites Comments from Stakeholders, and later , FEMA provision was modified in tune with the CA 2013.
