Lok Sabha passes bill to endall retrospective taxation

AGENCYNEW DELHI, AUG 6

A bill that aims to end all retro-spective taxation imposed on indi-rect transfer of Indian assets waspassed by the Lok Sabha on Fridayamidst continuous protests by op-position over the alleged snoopingthrough the Pegasus spyware andother issues.

When the 'The Taxation Laws(Amendment) Bill, 2021' would bepassed by Rajya Sabha too, all taxdemands made on companies likeCairn Energy and Vodafone usinga 2012 legislation on indirecttransfer of Indian assets prior toMay 28, 2012 will be withdrawn.

The Union Finance Ministerdescribed the 2012 legislation asbad in law and bad for the in-vestors' sentiments .

Rajendra Agrawal, who was inthe chair, declared the bill passedafter clause-wise discussions of

the bill and a brief statement bySitharaman.

The finance minister said therewere 17 litigations due to the ret-rospective tax law and even theSupreme Court had said in 2012that the tax could not be levied forthe indirect transfer of shares offoreign companies. The bill has

been brought as a clarification, shesaid. Sitharaman said in 2014, thethen Finance Minister Arun Jaitleyhad made a commitment to set upa high powered committee to lookinto the provisions of the 2012law as the NDA government didnot believe in retrospective taxes.

Jaitley had said that the pres-

ent government did not believe inretrospective taxes but the lawcould not be amended at that timeas there were court cases, shesaid.

The finance minister saidonce the lawsuits were settled inSeptember and December 2020,the government had started con-sultations with various stakehold-ers, including the Law Ministry.

Now we have come up withthis bill at the next available op-portunity. We are fulfilling thewords given in this august houseby former finance minister Jaitleyand the government under theleadership of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi brought the bill,she said. "It is also proposed to re-fund the amount paid in these cas-es without any interest thereon,"the bill said. The refund could bearound Rs 8,100 crore, which wascollected by enforcing the 2012law.

Repo rate or repur-chase rate is the interestrate at which RBI lendsto commercial banks. Itis the key tool of the cen-tral bank to contain infla-tion or price rise by reg-ulating the supply ofmoney in the economy.

Survivors of acid attacks inMexico unite to push for changeElisa Xolalpa has had

three daughters andfound a job she en-

joys since a formerboyfriend tried to destroyher life by tossing acid onher when she was 18. Twodecades later, she is stillseeking justice.

Survivors of acid at-tacks like Xolalpa arebanding together and rais-ing their voices in Mexicodespite the country's sky-high violence especiallytoward women and stag-gering levels of impunity. Ithought I was the only one,said the 38-year-old, whogrows flowers on MexicoCity's south side. But we'renot alone anymore.

Earlier this year, theCarmen S nchez Founda-tion formed here to pro-vide support and lobby forlegal reforms for survivorsof acid attacks. It has reg-istered 29 such attacks sofar, five already in 2021,but believes that is only afraction of the real number.

Survivors want the at-tacks classified as attempt-ed femicide, aid with theinnumerable surgeries thatfollow and psychologicalsupport. They want to beseen even though theirfaces hurt.

Mom, what is acid? 9-year-old Daniela askedXolalpa one day. For a mo-ment Xolalpa was silent.Then she told her daughterthat it was a liquid theyused in the greenhouse thatis dangerous. Another day

Daniela left school intears. Some kids told meyou're ugly, Mom, and it'snot true, Xolalpa said herdaughter told her.

Xolalpa has a sweetgaze. She enjoys growingflowers in the chinampasfertile islands interlaced bycanals in the capital'sXochimilco borough likeher ancestors did. She rec-ognizes that one day shewill have to explain to herthree daughters, product ofanother relationship, theattack that changed her lifeand for a time left herwanting to die. These daysshe is focused on prepar-ing herself mentally for anew court hearing for herattacker, who was finally

arrested in February. Shehas made three complaintsto authorities and sufferedconstant threats from him.For now he only faces adomestic violence charge,but Xolalpa hopes that willhold him long enough topursue an attempted femi-cide charge.

Her attacker's lawyerhas been dismissive. Hesays I'm alright because Iwas able to have a family,she said indignantly. Sheentered the relationshipwith the father of her threedaughters to feel that Icould please someone de-spite the scars, Xolapasaid. It was a mistake, I'mstill damaged. Dousingsomeone in acid means

wanting to dissolve a per-son physically and psycho-logically. It is always pre-meditated, according to theUnited Nations.

In Xolalpa's case, shewas tied to a post. The aciddissolved the ropes, butalso her clothes and herbody as she ran half-nakedfor help.

She has had 40 surger-ies to repair her body. Car-men S nchez, who startedthe foundation that bearsher name, was eatingbreakfast with her motherand sisters at home in 2014when her partner enteredand threw acid on her face.He fled with a driver whowas waiting outside as Snchez's chin melted to her

chest and her cell phonedissolved in her hand. Ittook years before S nchezturned to activism.

One day in 2017, Snchez called Gina Pontes,a Colombian survivor,whose collective Rebuild-ing Faces helps otherwomen who have survivedattacks. Pontes happenedto be on her way to a doc-tor's appointment.

She told me about allher pain, she cried, shetalked to me about her sur-geries, Pontes recalled.When Pontes got to thedoctor, I told Carmen,Look, I'm going to strip,but we'll keep talking,don't worry.' Seeing Pontesbare her scars without any

shyness shook S nchez.She understood that tryingto hide what had happeneddidn't help. So while shesought justice in her caseand underwent operationafter operation she's up to61 she began to talk withother survivors, seek outdonors, psychologists anddoctors.

From the beginning Ionly had two options: letmyself die, something sheconsidered many times, orlook at my scars, insideand out, and understandthat that was my new reali-ty, S nchez told lawmakersin late July when she re-ceived a prize from Mexi-co's lower congressionalchamber.

New mothers' sleep losslinked to accelerated aging

When new mothers com-plain that all those sleep-less nights caring for their

newborns are taking years off theirlife, they just might be right, ac-cording to the University of Cali-fornia Los Angeles (UCLA) re-searchers.

UCLA research published thisstudy in the journal Sleep Health.

Scientists studied 33 mothersduring their pregnancies and thefirst year of their babies' lives, ana-lyzing the women's DNA fromblood samples to determine their"biological age," which can differfrom chronological age. Theyfound that a year after giving birth,the biological age of mothers whoslept less than seven hours a night

at the six-month mark was three toseven years older than those whologged seven hours or more. Moth-ers who slept less than seven hoursalso had shorter telomeres in theirwhite blood cells. These smallpieces of DNA at the ends of chro-mosomes act as protective caps,like the plastic tips on the ends ofshoelaces. Shortened telomereshave been linked to a higher riskof cancers, cardiovascular and oth-er diseases, and earlier death.

"The early months of postpar-tum sleep deprivation could have alasting effect on physical health,"said the study's first author, JudithCarroll, UCLA's George F.Solomon Professor of Psychobiol-ogy.

Researchers unveil discovery of newprocess for making RNA

Researchers at the Uni-versity of Massachu-setts Amherst recently

unveiled their discovery of anew process for making RNA,which made the resultingRNA purer, more copious, andlikely to be more cost-effec-tive than any previous process.

This new technique pub-lished in the Journal of Bio-logical Chemistry removes thelargest stumbling block on thepath to next-generation RNAtherapeutic drugs.

If DNA is the blueprintthat tells the cells in our bodieswhat proteins to make and forwhat purposes, RNA is themessenger that carries DNA'sinstruction to the actual pro-tein-making machinery withineach cell. Most of the time thisprocess works flawlessly, butwhen it doesn't, when the bodycan't make the protein it needs,as in the case of a disease likecystic fibrosis, serious illnesscan result.

One method for treatingsuch protein deficiencies iswith therapeutics that replacethe missing proteins. But re-searchers have long knownthat it's more effective whenthe body can make the protein

it needs itself. This is the goalof an emerging field of medi-cine--RNA therapeutics. Theproblem is, the current meth-ods of producing lab-madeRNA can't deliver RNA that ispure enough, in enough quan-tities in a way that's cost-effec-tive. "We need lots of RNA,"says Elvan Cavac, lead authorof the paper, MBA student atUMass Amherst, and a recentPhD graduate in chemistry,also from UMass. "We've de-veloped a novel process forproducing pure RNA, andsince the process can reuse itsingredients, yielding any-where between three and tentimes more RNA than the con-

ventional methods, it alsosaves time and cost."

The problem with impureRNA is that it can trigger reac-tions, like swelling, that can beharmful, and even life-threat-ening. For example, impureRNA can cause inflammationin the lungs of a patient withcystic fibrosis. Conventionallymanufactured RNA has to un-dergo a lengthy and expensiveprocess of purification."Rather than having to purifyRNA," says Craig Martin, thepaper's senior author and pro-fessor of chemistry at UMass,"we've figured out how tomake clean RNA right fromthe start."

The recent dispute between corporates and femaleclaimants for seats on the board has propelled thediscussion on attitude towards women in busi-

ness. The conflicts in the Murugappa group’s AmbadiInvestments versus Valli Arunachalam and the Hindujabrothers versus Vinoo Hinduja shone a spotlight on thelack of gender parity in corporate governance. The Na-tional Stock Exchange database shows that only 2,044of 11,416 directors and 1,235 of 5,524 independent di-rectors of NSE-listed companies are women. Appallingas this is, 75 NSE-listed companies have no women di-rectors on their board. Under-representation of womenin boardrooms is a global phenomenon and India is noexception. With the odds already stacked againstwomen, structural barriers and orthodoxies impedethem from gaining requisite skills, knowledge and ex-perience. Back in 2014, Amazon attempted to developan AI recruiting tool aimed at eliminating human bias-es against women in leadership roles. Instead, it startedpenalizing résumés that mentioned terms analogous towomen such as “women’s chess captain” and so onsince the algorithm had been developed using the ré-sumés of leaders in the past 15 years, all of them male.All female candidates were thus eliminated. This indi-cates that the issue is larger than the paternalistic na-ture of policies. In India, directives and judicial pro-nouncements have addressed the issues ailing corpo-rate governance.

Section 149(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 man-dating one woman director on the board is a progres-sive stance, but this provision is applicable only to list-ed and certain public companies. The Securities andExchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Dis-closure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 has ensuredthat the one woman director mandate is implemented.As per the Kotak Committee recommendations on cor-porate governance, Sebi, in May 2018, mandated theappointment of at least one woman “independent” di-rector on the board of top 500 and top 1,000 listedcompanies. But these directives are not enough to ex-haust the patriarchal ecosystem that has pervaded theboardrooms for years. The quota system has taken theform of tokenism. It has been observed that the womenmembers appointed are generally related to the familyof the chairperson or promoters, which stations them asquota fillers. This renders the purpose of includingwomen in the strategic decision-making process a merebox to be ticked. The issue is not limited to mindset, ascan be inferred from the 2014 Amazon experiment. In-dustries which have traditionally been led by men havecome to define leadership roles from a masculine per-spective.

Still kept out

POEMSEaster, 1916

I have met them at closeof day Coming with vivid facesFrom counter or deskamong grey Eighteenth-centuryhouses.I have passed with a nod of the head Or polite meaningless words, Or have lingered awhile and said Polite meaningless words,And thought before I had done Of a mocking tale or a gibe To please a companionAround the fire at the club, Being certain that they and I But lived where motley is worn: All changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.
