Yes i compeletely agree with that we need more action to take place than words.
Who was the author of that retrospective tax imbroglio finally flying at the face of the government?
As if nothing changes in India. The story remains the same.
There are some deliberate lies that need to be exposed before commenting on the merit of this article.
Deliberate Lie 1: Retrospective tax is wrong. Vodafone and others must not pay the tax.
Reality : The Retrospective Tax regime(GAAR) is as legal and as justified as the HMRC's crackdown on offshore tax evasion since 2008-2009, and the UK-Swiss Tax Agreement of 2011. All 3 instances deal with prevention of illegal tax evasion on earnings in a local market, by exploiting regional/geographical tax loopholes. It amuses me that The Economist has two different standards for these actions, long after the sun had set on the British empire.
Deliberate Lie 2: Retrospective tax will frighten away Western investors, causing a financial crisis in India.
Reality: Foreign investment is 1.7% of the Indian GDP, and decreasing as the Indian GDP increases over the years, from 3.5% in 2008. (Source :http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/BX.KLT.DINV.WD.GD.ZS).
The primary reason is the withdrawal of Western investment from emerging markets with the onset of the global economic crisis in 2007, and a political direction of reinvestment into the USD and the GBP despite the tottering economic conditions of these 2 countries.
Do you seriously expect any Indian to take this 1.7% as something whose absence would precipitate an Indian financial crisis?
Vodafone's contribution is microscopic even in this 1.7% share.
If Vodafone decides to roll-up and leave the Indian telecom market, it will burn a bridge, will NEVER be able to enter the Indian market again, and Sistema, Huawei, Nippon telecon would be too happy to make up for that absence. Vodafone needs the Indian telecon market more than India needs the Vodafone.
Really, the threat of Western investment withdrawal from India, when faced with Indian laws, is a bluff that can be called anytime now. (Of course, it will never be called by the Indian political establishment, as THEY too, have deep personal investments in the West).
The thrust of this article, barring these 2 propaganda points, is right.
The RBI governor, Mr Gokarn, was correct in his decision of not cutting interest rates. Cash circulation via corporate lending is not a crisis; inflation is.
A)The Congress-run Government has vested interest in jacking up real-estate prices due to this extra lending pushed by low interest rates, as the primary beneficiaries will always be the shell real-estate organizations run by the GREAT INDIAN SON-IN-LAW (of the Banana Republic fame) and one of his partners (a direct kin of the current Finance Minister), and thereby, the money flows into Congress coffers.
B)The resultant rise in inflation, and a de-facto lowering of the INR value, with the Indian Oil firms moaning on lowered incomes, will allow Congress further successive hikes in the oil/energy prices, effectively sending the Indian economy on a 'downward spiral'.
C)The ever-increasing budget-deficit is very characteristic of the Congress loot of the Indian taxpayer since 1947, in the name of financially-unviable sops to targeted vote-banks. Barely regulated and nearly-unanswerable to regulatory authorities like the CAG, these schemes, like the NREGA, have a reputation of siphoning public money into the coffers of only 1 political party.
The combination of A, B and C are a clear and present threat to the Indian economy, unlike the paper tiger of 'withdrawal of western investment'.
Even worse is the usage of the mix of A, B and C by the Congress as a Scorched Earth policy, should it lose the Indian general elections in 2014.
This is a game the Congress has played successfully before, and it caused the Indian current account deficit crisis of 1990. The import of 'Tijori Khali Hai' was not lost on many pre-teens when they heard it in 1990 on natioanl television.
Even worse, to strengthen their personal investments in the West, the Indian decision makers are effectively sacrificing long term Indian market sovereignity, consumer choice and financial security to bankroll the West's economic recovery. More than the FDI in retail, the FDI in Banking and Insurance are key Trojan horses that will cause huge capital flights to the West. The silence of the Indian decision makers on these bills, with diversion of public attention of FDI in retail, only indicates their awareness, and complicity, in this planned capital flight.
It can be said without doubt that India will NOT BENEFIT by playing the unnamed altruist to the West.
Gokarn understood this game that was being played.
Evil wins only when the good men stay quiet. The 'good men' stayed quiet when Gokarn took his steps.
That is why he has to go.
I found your posting very compelling and overall of greater value for many of us.
hear hear
Good comments. I am not so sure about the item A from an indian perspective will reach any other conclusion than that made by The economist article.
Reasons :
1. The examples quoted above are all under the AML activities. Indian action on vodafone has no such reasons. It is also unconstitutional (art 286)
2. India is trying hard to attract FDI, which is unsuccessful (compare india FDI with Vietnam, a much tinier country)considering india's market potential. The reason is these kind of knee-jerk government actions at the highest level. A moral 'protection of rights' argument is no good if it defeats the country's objective itself.
3. If the government wants capital gains to be taxed, it should pe the beneficiary of the sale - Essar. Vodafone has been dragged in citing TDS (no such provision existed in Mauritius treaty, still does'nt) merely because of it's capacity to pay.
Hence on all 3 grounds, and as subsequent developments have proved, Congress actions are not just reprehensible, but also damaging.
The Indian economy is like a parched field in summer. The water supply is adequate but there is no systematic distribution. Consequently, there are large pools of stagnant water, woefully short growth in some places and a lush abundant harvest in others. This analogy may be a bit too simplistic but after 20 years of liberalization the country seems like a field whose resources have been inadequately exploited leaving vast gaps between the haves and have nots. This is not going to be solved by one man or his attempts to window dress the government's policies for the 2014 elections. And, as time passes, the nation will one day pay a heavy price for ignoring its teeming millions living in poverty.
Huh You guys just give too much credit to Indian Govt. It always had been all talk!!
Low value of this article notwithstanding, is it coincidence that all your comments are reprimanding Traditional China antagonists, like USA, India or Japan ??
Out of my three comments(not much to characterize me upon), only one had involved china ... two were on indian politic( as I am Indian myself) ... Cant really figure out as to what led to your conclusion.
This is a smoke-and-mirrors show attempted by the talking heads of India's finance ministry. Deep structural problems remain with no clear progress towards a resolution and will likely remain stagnant for another 1.5 years till the next general elections. From a US or other developed country investors' perspective, see this article for a nice overview of current Indian investment environment and ways to play it:
Why is Economist defending Vodafone? Because it is a British company. Why would Vodafone not pay tax? Vodafone buys an Indian company to do business in India, make money in India. Just because the contact is signed in a shady Hong Kong hotel, they refuse to pay tax! If collecting legitimate tax vitiates investment environment, so be it. Foreign businesses do not come to India for charity. They are international sharks who bribe government officials, exploit employees, cheat customers to make profit by any means. Don't worry about Economist threat. Companies like Vodafone will come to India as long as they can make money. They pay newspapers via PR machines to threaten third world countries about "vitiating investment climate". Collect 2 bn from Vodafone for back taxes, or kick them out of the country. We don't need them here.
We should start a public awareness campaign urging subscribers to boycott Vodafone until they pay their tax dues.
Why? Because the Government of India went back 50 years and got a law changed with retrospective effect?
Hw can a current Parliament whose denizens were NOT EVEN BORN in 1962, change the law as if this was what it meant then?
The Parliament then legisated the law and that is all it should have been. The amendments should have been prospective: The Government of Indiia is a terrible players: it sulks when it loses the match and then changes the goalposts such that they are now smaller than a balls circumference when it comes to the tax paywer winningg, but unbounded when it comes to the Government itself scoring.
This is a bad person who takes the sports equipment away because he lost a fair fight.
The Goverment is a bully and now that it has found that others can boycott it VERY VERY Succesfully, it is trying this charm offeisive.
The only thing the rest of the worlld shoul do is boycott India until it behaves like a mature and fair country and not like a bully who hits weaker opponents, but cries for Mamma when it gets bashed in the face.
And for good measure, let us also tell the Finance Minister to restrospectively increase tax rates, so you, Subhenduchat have to pay taxes on past income: let us see your stupid rant then!
I have rarely seen a citizen who hates his country with such intensity :)
It is true that existing laws had loop holes and ambiguity, which Vodafone took advantage off like a scam-star. A company is supposed to abide by the laws of a land in letter and spirit, and not try to take advantage of ambiguities and loopholes. It is plain as daylight that they bought an Indian company to do business in INDIA! It is absurd that they do not owe any tax because the deal was done in HK. If the government increases my taxes retroactively, of course I will crib. That is because I have paid all my taxes properly and did not take advantage of loopholes.
I think the concept of "honesty" is novel to most people like you. So you have hard time understanding it. I have a sneaky suspision that you work for Vodafone, the tax cheater :)
The Supreme Court of India begs to differ with your view after hearing 6 days of continuous arguments. Please read the facts of the case before passing your personal judgment.
50 years back there was no Vodafone in India and there weren't and tax acts to avoid tax evasions.
What's wrong in collecting the tax that is legitimately ours.
India has see foreign traders for thousands of years, so do you mean to follow some 5000 year old tax rules.
The parliament sits for the very purpose of amending laws.
And just for your reference, even Obama made changes in American tax code.
If you call Vodafone a week opponent then may be you need to wake up, brush your teeth and read the stock market again.
If you have evaded paying tax for an income of the past, it is justified that the tax officers collect it now and it is even justified if they put extra fines and jail you for it. Because what you have done is a crime.
It's not about hating your own country, if its telling the facts. Indian politics, its religion (hinduism) and its governance are all nothing but a big joke for the world to laugh at. If this reality hurts you, don't mean you brandish me as a traitor to the nation! People like you need to grow up and face the reality in a much better way!
So you believe vodafone should pay some 'hafta' because they are going to profit in india, over an above taxes any honest business should pay? This is the kind of narrow-minded communist thinking that has disgraced us as an irresponsible world citizen.
If Vodafone makes a profit they will pay taxes too. If they lose no-one's problem except theirs.
Please pull your head out of the sand and see how horrible India looks to decent companies. Thats why except hit-and-run traders and Walmart, noone makes plans to invest in India, but chooses China!
We are setting ourselves up to become another Nigeria by these methods.
Flamez, your pen-name is right. Please go and read the facts of the case or at least the article before commenting. The tax is not 'legitimately ours'. Why else would the government need to amend tax laws retrospectively, violating it's treaty with Mauritius in the process, not to mention it's own constitution?
2. You may know that capital gains tax is the responsibility of the seller, not the buyer (Essar, Mauritius in this case). Yet, the government has gone after Vodafone, Mauritius for failing to deduct TDS as per indian tax laws on the money paid in and to Essar Mautritius. This sucks. They know that Essar has no ability to pay this due along with the other tax evasions they are now going to have to pay. So IT is trying it's luck with Vodafone.
India earns a bad name in business circles across the world because of these shenanigans, just so this corrupt party can collect more money and do more scams, while joblessness among educated indians is rising.
Please dont justify such actions blindly because you feel very defensive about the country and the government.
I have had conversation with the Managing director of Toyota and board members of H.M.T and all of them had one answer in common, that it is justified that the Indian government collect the tax, but Vodafone has brilliantly evaded it.
The western world had always thought that India is a tax heaven and they can evade tax at home and abroad, but by introducing the new tax reforms those companies will have to pay up tax in billions, more over 56% of companies which help in such tax evasions are in Mauritius and that is a violation of the agreement between India and Mauritius that tax has to be paid in either of the nations.
Amendments to constitution is not unconstitutional.
It was the congress that went after Vodafone and as always they never build a solid case, if it were some other party then Vodafone would have been begging for mercy by now.
PC is more of a charmer than a doer.As Home Minister, he promised so many things post 26/11/2008 Mumbai terror attack.Out come has been near zero.
The "Animal spirit" alluded to by you is nothing more than the beatific smile that he wears permanently to fend off critics.
You are right about notice to Vodafone.Two major infrastructure companies have walked out on their contracts for National Highways, citing changes [ Midstream] in environmental rules.Govt has been promising disinvestment in PSUs every year and then failing to meet its targets, every year.Govt continues to be guided by Congress party, wanting to create vote banks with govt freebees.Government has lost the will to fight corruption and bureaucratic delays.Delhi is suffering worst winter of last few decades.Money [ about Rs 20 crores] earmarked to build shelters for the homeless have been swindled by the politicos and babus.PC,rather than trying to charm the markets should do something about those shelters, quickly.People are dying.
As home minister he did more than most people in that seat have done.
This is similar to what many Britons will be familiar with. Politicians will boast about any success, no matter how small or trivial, and the markets will respond up until a point. However, if a politician fails to follow those words up with actions, than they will soon find that the market is not a very nice place to be caught with your pants down.
Should have consulted our sages...in the land of reincarnations,Grigory Potemkin has been reborn as Chidambaram and as we all know so has a part of his queen- the venal part of course!
I have loved my visits to India and thought of doing business there. However the experiences of those that I know who have done so are a serious deterrent. The worst case are those of what they have created in effect being stolen by their Indian partners and the means is not the thuggish no-rule-of-law Chinese way but typically using the hopeless inefficiency and delays of the Indian courts to tie everything up.
Since when did The Economist start publishing wannabe writers blog ramblings? Before a war breaks out in comments, let me say I am one of those wannabe writers as well. So in a way, quality of this article gives me hope - a lot of hope!
I agree. This article sounds pretty wannabish. 'One boss of a bank I interviewed...'. Common 'The Economist', show your readers some respect.
Two articles on chidambram as potential prime minister - anyword heard of paid articles?
Ok, two things should be there in your mind before you write anything about India. 1) The vast populace of India is largely pliable and susceptible to cheap gimmickry. I know I will be shot down for this, but if you just look at the undue emphasis our people place on anything bollywood, you will realize the veracity of my claim 2) The political class in India, irrespective of party lines, is like cancer. It is so corrupt, so dysfunctional that it is sometimes difficult, even for the somewhat grandstanding US politics, to actually fathom what is really going on. So just to help you out a little bit, just know this - whatever you see thrown at you, the media and the people, is to get the votes of the people. Truism and a bit naive you say, right? Not. Because you have absolutely no idea how much of the above can be true. Outright lie, bureaucracy, bribing (by giving cash to poor people), fake leadership...they will take recourse to anything, just about anything to win the next election. Accountability? Zero, nada, zilch.
So you will ask, how does it all tie back to this article. None of the measures that is being floated by the government is to revive the economy! It is all a part of a big coverup so that the economy is not in total shambles just before the election, which is in 2014. Band-aids, non-waterproof. Get it?
Perhaps you will remember Shining India, NDA and 2004.
Just tell me who is not corrupt in India? Businessmen? Sportsmen? Housewives? (just see how they try to add one more piece of vegetable off the hand cart), students (copying)? Priests? Why blame the politicians? Just tell me who isn't corrupt in India?
I actually agree with C Nandkishore on this, no one really has the moral right to accuse a group (politicians) as being corrupt when the people especially the general public from India are themselves so corrupt! If anything an introspection is required from the people .. for me even breaking the que is corruption, and so many indians unkowingly or shamlessly do it! Everyday! Its pretty much a big Cess pit!
I love you guys for being so above board and not being corrupt. Just a small problem, your definition of corrupt extends so far to the left, and your actions so far to the right that we have gotton ourselves a government that is sinking us all into the deep ocean, hook, line and slinker.
Keep talking and obfuscating the point. This is too rich.

Poor Thatcher and her ideological blinders. If you have the skills and the resources, you can make the market yourself.
Ah, but Thatcher was speaking as a politician and to politicians. And the ability of politicians to make a market themselves is limited. Not least by their general lack of understanding of economics.
It is a very reasonable and appropriate question to ask - "just how deep is the commitment to better economic management?". I think a safe answer is "not deep enough".
Along with "lack of political will" as one of the more often cited reasons, I personally think that a bigger reason is a complete lack of clarity of what should the government policy be in any given situation, or what is the definition of the goal for which we need any kind of "economic management". Once there is an absolute clarity only then can one generate support and create intention. As an example, most of the times the political parties in India end up opposing something just for the heck of it without even understanding the true implications. Interestingly, in India both the Allies (parties who are part of the government) and Opposition parties can oppose and paralyze the governance.
why is economist trying to make sure that vodafone doesn't pay the tax? is it some sort of british lobbying in disguise? let the court do their job. Whether vodafone pays the tax due or not won't change India's economic climate much. India is a massively growing country, and it will continue to do so with or without vodafone, or other such companies who don't feel like paying the taxes due (or who want to evade taxes via loopholes )
Mr. Chandra,
you are greatly mistaken in saying that India will continue to grow with or without companies which do not feel like paying taxes.
Just answer me one question, if I buy something from you, who should pay the tax? You, right? As you made the profit. In Vodafone's case the government is asking Vodafone to pay for buying shares of another company, which is ridiculous.
And besides, the tax which was 'due' on Vodafone was retrospective. Please tell me how would you react if the Government of India came to you in 2011 and asked for tax on a transaction which you incurred in 2008 (without there being any such law to tax such transaction in 2008)?
And besides, you must understand that there is considerable difference between tax planning and tax evasion. In Vodafone's case planning was confused by the Government to be evasion; which the Hon'ble Supreme Court rightfully pointed out.
Such policies hurt the national image and scares the future investors, if they are to make 30% profits and the tax was to be 30%; why would India receive any foreign direct investment? And please, the 'massively growing' India is not providing any roads, electricity, water supply or justice system; without which growth is of no use.
I don't think it's that simple. If it were, there wouldn't be this long court case to fight it out and all. From what I know, corporations go great distances to evade tax. Google was reprimanded for the same in UK recently (google it, pun intended)
Since you are talking in analogies, think of it like this. Someone is trying to sell a book you wrote. You therefore are entitled to royalties. The person instead goes to another city and sells your book and says that since it is not sold in your city, you aren't entitled to the royalties.
As for foreign direct investment, trust me, Indian middle class is too big for anyone to ignore. they will come back, if not now, then later. Especially given the global recession.
And I am not sure which part of India do you live in to not have 'any' roads, electricity, water etc. The place where I live has big roads, good electricity (although it's still not 24 hours, but I am told there are many cities in western India where powercuts are unheard of) and great water supply. So maybe move to a better city and your opinion would change :)
Read this from the wikipedia: "Vodafone Group Plc. entered India in 2007 through a subsidiary based in the Netherlands, which acquired Hutchison Telecommunications International Ltd's (HTIL) stake in Hutchison Essar Ltd (HEL)—the joint venture that held and operated telecom licences in India. This Cayman Islands transaction, along with several related agreements, gave Vodafone control over 67% of HEL and extinguished Hong Kong-based Hutchison's rights of control in India, a deal that cost the world's largest telco $11.2 billion at the time.[9]"
why do you think they went to cayman islands to do the transaction? doesn't it sound like going to the dark corner of the street to make that dirty drug deal?
A very commonplace transaction is what you describe and nothing obviously to do with tax evasion. Just the usual perfecgly legal strucguring a deal so as not to be liable to tax. And you haven't explained why as matter of (non-retrospective) tax lsw or sound tax policy Vodaphone should pay a lot of tax for buying an income producing asset. Maybe there was some deferred tax liability in the businesses or shares they bought ad this was never going to become payable because of the way Vodaphone bought its stake????
Mr. Chandra, I help run a 50-employee business located in Noida, a mere 30 km from Mr. Chidambaram's office. During 2012, we had grid power for less than half the time. Through the summer, the area's fuel stations routinely ran out of diesel because every business was running generators the whole time. Diesel had to be smuggled in from Delhi by most businesses because transporting it is allowed only to state-owned fuel distribution companies. Self-generated diesel electricity costs 3.5 times the grid power, by the way.
Our car-park and the road in front of the building floods with sewage water every time it rains, because the drainage system basically doesn't exist.
In July, the local authority dug up a road nearby without co-ordinating with the telecom companies. This resulted in a huge area losing all phone and data connectivity for days. The telecom companies made some alternative arrangement but service is still patchy, six months later. The original dig has been abandoned in a half-finished state, reportedly because the authority hasn't paid the contractor.
I, and almost every other Indian I know could go on and on in this vein. I don't know which India you live in, with your 'big roads, good electricity' but it's not the same as the rest of us.
The Indian middle-class is worth nothing to anyone if they can't run a business and make a decent profit.
The only western cities which probably have 24 hour electricity are parts of Mumbai (South and Western suburbs) and Gujarat (which is also a recent phenomenon). Step out of these clusters and you face anywhere between 3 - 16 hours of power cuts. Also, water supply in Mumbai sucks.
I happened to have read the whole 196 page judgment of the case, please give it a read, it is that simple to figure out. I agree that corporations go to great distance to avoid paying taxes, so does individuals; what is wrong in that? If the tax code gives some concessions, the full benefit will be taken by the people.
Your analogy is wrong, you are confused between royalties and profit. In Vodafone's case, the UK company had a fully paid up subsidiary in Netherlands, which had a fully paid up subsidiary in Canada, which had fully paid up subsidiary in Japan, which had fully paid up subsidiary in Caymans and so on .. ultimately shares were bought from various Indian entities by companies in Mauritius. Please tell me if I buy shares from you, who should pay the tax on profits ??
And by the way India and Mauritius have entered into an agreement in 1983 so as to avoid double taxation on such transactions. Thus, by all means (legal or otherwise) the transaction was not attracting any tax liability in India (according to the Supreme Court of India).
I agree that the Indian middle class is too big to ignore, but the foreign direct investment will not come if there is no guarantee that the government will not ask for all sorts of income to be taxed retrospectively some years from now on. And besides, you are ignoring the fact that India is not the only economy attracting foreign direct investments; an investor always has a choice to go to Mauritius, China, Vietnam, and various other booming economies.
I salute your conclusion that I should change my city to get the basic services from the government; I just can not be bothered to provide you an argument. Tell me one thing, why should I not just change the country; where strangers do not tell me in an online forum to change my city so that I can have electricity for 24 hours.
Without the facts of the case, I do not think that you should pass any judgment on companies which are a bit too smart in their tax planning; as stated Vodafone also went to Japan, Canada, Mauritius, Netherlands etc. It does not make it a criminal; tax planning is legal and all transactions incurred by them were legal and if you are to question the validity of the law; go to your local court and challenge the same, may be in 20 years you will hear a judgment against your whims.
And next time please do not quote Wikipedia, for all you know I can just edit the article right now and state my personal view which many Wikipedia readers will blindly believe.
When Vodafone buys a company, the money it pays goes to the stake holders of the company and the company shares become the property of Vodafone and the Indian government asking Vodafone to pay the tax for its newly acquired property under Indian regime does not sound ridiculous to me.
Though the transaction was done in 2008 when the Retrospective tax rules were not brought in force, it still registers as an offence on India's economic sovereignty for evading tax from transaction overseas as under the General Anti Tax Avoidance Rule. Also under the Dual tax agreement, even if the transaction happens overseas the transacting company should pay the tax in either of the nations. Vodafone neither payed their tax in India nor in Hong Kong.
Tax planning is a process which is limited to the company's scope and no government on earth is concerned with it.
If Vodafone plans to evade tax then it is surely an offence.
They make 30% profit on their investment and they have to pay 30% tax on their profits not the entire revenue.
It is like if you invest Rs.100 with a profit of 30%
Investment= Rs.100
revenue= Rs.130
Profit= Rs.30
tax= Rs.9
So they still take Rs. 21 as remaining profit for every Rs. 100 invested.
They are earning in hundreds billions and what's wrong in demanding a few millions as tax.
It's funny you say that, because I live in Noida too. I live just off the expressway, and it takes 30 minutes to reach NDLS ( a distance of 25 kms, just like Mr Chidambaram). Noida has 2 expressways (not counting taj expressway) connecting all the way to delhi. And even if you need to get inside noida, there are 3 roads in parallel all along expressway. Going to Hospitals like NMC etc is no problem at all. Interior, older noida might be a different story, I agree. we don't face water shortage most of the time, and when there is some, all we need to do is call the local water office and they try and 'start the pump' more. You mention car parking etc. Yes that might be an issue in many sectors. I have worked in sector 5, 8 and 2 and I know that parking management sucks. But that is not what we were talking about.
As for electricity, It must be different running a business. I do remember my company having massive diesel generators, so yeah sure, there is an issue there.
Look, I don't want us to get into a India is bad vs India is good debate. I have been working in US for the past couple of years and every time I go back home, I love the changes and urban planning that comes about. Noida especially, and maybe places like Navi Mumbai etc are doing a great job providing a planned development to Indian population so please appreciate that. My life in Noida wasn't much different from my life in US. Occasional water shortage and electricity shortage, didn't really make much difference.
I am not saying that entire India is entirely developed and one can live like a western european country. My point is that there are many, and I repeat, many 'clusters' which do a great job of providing a decent living. Even in US there are places which suck and no one wants to live there. People just move to the better places. migrating locally to better clusters is only commonsensical. but you still want to do the whole "hungry india poor india" theme, be my guest.
Thank you
Unfortunately, its not that clear cut case as GoI lost the case in the Supreme court of India. Then they went with retrospective tax.
Further, Vodafone - the tele services company operating in India has to pay tax on its profits every year. The only bone of contention is the capital gains tax.
It is sad. Global investment and trade flows are not within the control of nation states. To benefit from these flows, nation states have to attract these flows for the benefits of its people. India with demographic, language, intelligence and other advantages are mired in politics that make investors nervous. World is not standing still to wait for India to get its act together.
GoI lost the case because it targeted the wrong path.
Hutch should have been the target as it was an Indian based company.
If the GoI had asked the Hutch stack holders (Now Vodafone stake holders) to pay the tax for transactions, then Vodafone would have been cornered.
Well I guess the tax authorities know better. But my point was that there was nothing wrong with the Government of India asking for what it deserved to ask.
Dear Kptoe, hope I got it right. India has a capital gains tax, in which the seller who makes the gains on sale of assets, needs to pay 20% of the amount as tax. Vodafone, Mauritius, the buyer is being asked why they did not deduct withholding tax on the transaction as per indian tax laws. That is the point of the matter.
FlameZ, They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I take a positive view of your obvious patriotism in 'sticking up' for India, but a a very poor view of the empty bravado.
A key differentiator for educated people is their ability to analyze and make sense of justice, global factors and economics, rather than citing the view from their flat and office as proof of development across India

It's really, really not surprising that a corporation of ~150,000 employees (~90,000 full-time) has some teams using Linux, Clang, or other FOSS projects. Especially if you consider the intake of younger programmers with more exposure to FOSS than some of the old Microsoft hats and the various OSS-friendly initiatives out of Microsoft in the last decade or so. The infamous "Halloween Documents" happened a CEO ago (soon two CEOs ago) and 15 years ago and without nearly every new college hire having at least some modicum of Linux/FOSS exposure.

Gallery: Rijkswaterstaat: Dutch Public Works Bureau Unveils Groundbreak...
The south facade of the building is a mass of concrete and asphalt cut with horizontal openings.
The project aimed to encapsulate the identity of Rijkswaterstaat in a sustainable building that manifests the organization's core activities. The Dutch public works bureau is responsible for the roads, the waterways and the landscape, so each of these areas is distinctly represented. The south facade of the building is a mass of concrete and asphalt cut with horizontal openings. This solid wall is designed to block the sun's heat and the noise from the adjacent highway (which they ironically constructed). Designed with grooves and patterns, the south facade is an abstract representation of a highway. Over time, rainwater from the roof, which is directed over the facade, will encourage growth of moss and plants, making the facade less stark.

Corser increases WSB lead, while Yamaha takes first win
July 17, 2005 The last time Troy Corser went to the Brno circuit in Czechoslovakia for a superbike round, he left with a superpole victory, fastest race lap and two wins and but for a small electronic problem in the second race history almost repeated itself today. In the end, he was not to repeat his 1996 glory, but he did have the satisfaction of increasing his lead in the championship. Without doubt the surprise of the round was the performance of Noriyuki Haga, who gave Yamaha its first victory with the R1-based superbike and brought to four the number of marques which have won so far this year - Suzuki, Honda, Ducati and now Yamaha. Kawasaki's best so far is third with Chris Walker almost adding a podium on the weekend with a fourth in Leg One.

Kidney Disease Research Updates
Winter 2013
New NIH Clinical Trial Website Launched for Public, Health Care Providers
From NIDDK Director's Update
The NIH has a new website, NIH Clinical Research Trials and You, to help people learn more about clinical trials, why they matter, and how to participate. From the first cure of a solid tumor with chemotherapy to the use of nitroglycerin for heart attacks, clinical research trials—or research studies involving people—have played a vital role in improving health and quality of life for people around the globe.
Clinical trials are essential for identifying and understanding ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Research has shown that among the greatest challenges to recruitment of volunteers is the lack of general knowledge about what trials involve, where they are carried out, and who may participate.
"The ability to recruit the necessary number of volunteers is vital to carrying out clinical research that leads to health and medical advances," said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "This new, centralized resource will make it much easier for the public and health professionals to learn about clinical trials and how people can participate in them."
The website is at www.nih.gov/health/clinicaltrials.

NASCAR online fans are back in the driver's seat, as the 2013 Sprint Cup season sprints into the phase of the schedule where you can watch NASCAR live online for free. NASCAR Race Buddy lets you watch NASCAR live during this six-week stretch of the June and early July NASCAR Sprint Cup calendar. No more silly computer animations… NASCAR Race Buddy provides ten – count 'em – ten different camera angles for you to choose between, plus full screen and customized mosaic view capabilities.
The Race Buddy camera angles do not adequately replace the TV camera angles – they're simple driver dashboard cams, pit crew cams, or cameras filming only one spot on the track. Race Buddy is meant more as a supplement to the TNT television broadcast, not as a stand-alone product. Race Buddy will give you a NASCAR livestream on the day of the race, plus you'll be able to watch Friday afternoon qualifying races on the Friday preceding each race. NASCAR Race Buddy will be livestreaming for the following races on the NASCAR TNT Summer Series schedule:
Save And Watch Your Favorite Car Racing Videos
Party in the Poconos 400 - Sunday. June 9, 1 p.m. ET
Quicken Loans 400 - Sunday. June 16, 1 p.m. ET
Toyota & 47 Save Mart 350 - Sunday. June 23, 3 p.m. ET
Quaker State 400 - Saturday, June 29, 7:30 p.m. ET
Coke Zero 400 - Saturday. July 6, 7:30 p.m. ET
New Hampshire 300 - Sunday. July 14, 1 p.m. ET
The race for the Sprint Cup heads into its final two races, and it's easy for fans to watch NASCAR online. The next couple of Sundays will determine the winner of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup championship, and online race fans may be wondering how they can watch NASCAR online or listen to NASCAR online. We've rounded up the websites you can use to watch NASCAR live video and listen to live audio streams below, and explain how to watch NASCAR online live for the decisive Phoenix 500 and Homestead 400 races.
Nine drivers are still mathematically in contention for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but the two leaders are five-time Cup winner Jimmie Johnson and his up-and-coming young rival Brad Keselowski. Johnson and Keselowski are Numbers One and Two on the NASCAR driver standings, with just seven points separating them – a gap that can be easily closed in a single race. The Phoenix AdvoCare 500 runs Sunday Nov 11 - , 2012 at 3 p.m. EST, and the Ford EcoBoost 400 runs Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 3 p.m. EST. Both crucial races are available to watch via a computer, tablet, or smartphone, from green flag to checkered flag.
The two remaining races will both be webcast live on WatchESPN, the site that lets you watch ESPN online. Of course, the service requires an active cable TV subscription, and is not available to online viewers who don't subscribe to cable television. If you do subscribe to cable, you can WatchESPN free by visiting the website on a computer or on tablets and smartphones via the WatchESPN mobile app.
You can watch NASCAR live on WatchESPN, but the races will not be available to watch on demand afterwards. Online viewers do, however, get access to the pre-race shows "NASCAR Now" and "NASCAR Sprint Cup Countdown." NASCAR Nationwide Series races, the minor league circuit for NASCAR, are also webcast live on WatchESPN for the remaining Saturdays of the season.
You don't need satellite radio to listen to NASCAR live. Anyone with a broadband or wireless connection can listen to NASCAR free each week by tuning into the "The Voice of NASCAR," on the Motor Racing Network. NASCAR fans can listen on a computer by visiting the Motor Racing Network web page and clicking the Listen Live or Audio tab. Similarly, smartphone and tablet users can also tune-in and listen to NASCAR online by visiting the Motor Racing Networks mobile site and selecting the Live Broadcast Stream option on their respective devices.
NASCAR's Championship cup is named after Sprint. As a result, Sprint customers get some free extra NASCAR perks, just like they get free NBA games on mobile devices. These free NASCAR perks are packed into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile app for Android or iOS, free to all Sprint subscribers. The app does not provide a live video feed – only video highlights afterwards – but it does deliver a free audio feed of the race, plus live in-car audio for all 43 drivers in the race. You can get in your favorite driver's head – literally – and hear their conversations with their pit crew, or switch from driver to driver as the race takes unexpected turns. Sprint users also get a fantastic condensed video highlight version of the race on demand afterwards, plus access to live video of the "NASCAR on SPEED" shows that air on the SPEED channel.
Will Jimmie Johnson cruise to his sixth Sprint Cup? Or will the Big Keselowki abide by the Cup on the chase's final Sunday? What apps do you non-Sprint subscribers use to follow stock car racing? Rev up your opinions in the comments below.

What are you wearing?
A vintage dress from the '80s that my mother [Monica Slater Van Buskirk, gala co-chair] bought at Bergdorf Goodman back when she was an executive with Godiva Chocolates in New York City. It used to be full-length, but people don't really wear full-length dresses to events like this, so I had it taken up.
And your accessories?
I bought the shoes at Dillard's in Tampa; the handbag is a vintage Judith Leiber from my mother's early New York days. She's kept everything, all this terrific stuff, Hermès scarves—I said to her, "Where has this been hiding!"
Are those black fingernails?
And toes. I have a little rock and roll side to me; it's just my thing.
What's your everyday wear? I'm a student at the University of Tampa, double majoring in English and writing. I am one of those students who dresses up every day for class, leggings or tights in cold weather, casual dresses in warmer weather. I move through lots of looks; why not experiment?
Your fashion principle?
Instead of buying a lot of pieces, I like to buy one high-quality piece that I can wear through the seasons. This year it was a pair of black leather knee-length boots that I wear my pants tucked into. They're simple and timeless.
It's fun to play dress-up.
I loved it! I got to model a silent auction item during the dinner, a white gold and diamond necklace with pink and green tourmalines from Alexander Fine Jewelers on St. Armands.

Saddlemen Gel-Channel Tech Seat Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300 R
The Gel Channel line of seats for sport bikes are designed specifically for the rider that needs a seat that can do everything—canyon carving, track days, or commuting. Features Saddlemen's Gel Channel (GC) technology (patent pending) that incorporates a split piece of SaddleGel and a channel in the base foam to relieve seating pressure on the perineal area, increase blood flow, and keep the rider in the saddle longer. Saddlemen sport bike seats offer high quality, light weight construction and styling that's second-to-none.
The "Tech" style series incorporates high-quality, flexible fabric top covers that breathe well and are textured to allow the body to move on the seat for aggressive maneuvering. Just under the top cover is a layer of memory foam that contours to the shape of the rider's body with additional memory foam in areas strategically positioned for maximum comfort.
Many Gel Channel solo seats come with a matching pillion cover for a unified look.
