With many small and medium enterprises staring at bankruptcy or severe business disruption due to the Covid-19 crisis, large companies that buy raw material and products from them now have to deal with a new problem: denial of credits if the vendor defaults on paying goods and services tax.According to the GST framework, large companies cannot claim credits unless their suppliers and vendors have paid the tax. Section 16 of the GST law says that if a vendor does not pay GST to the government, input tax credit will be denied to the buyer.Companies with a large supplier base across sectors are now reaching out to their vendors to check if there is a possibility of a default from their side.“The additional liability cast on businesses for ensuring payment of tax by the supplier has been a rising concern since inception because of the practical difficulties in verifying the same and the financial burden even though the tax is paid to vendors,” said Abhishek Jain, a tax partner at EY. “This...

Mumbai: Swarms of locusts are ravaging north and central parts of India, the country’s farming heartland, potentially sharpening the lockdown-induced economic loss, but insurers may escape with light damages in the pest attacks that are already drawing parallels with the Exodus for their intensity – at least on television screens and social media.With the harvest of rabi, or winter crops, having ended earlier in February, the claim liability on the insurance industry would be “minimal” if infestation is controlled before the onset of monsoon in mid-June when the Kharif season begins, two top industry officials told ET. Existing policies do not cover losses incurred on ‘non-standing’ crops such as fruits, vegetables or seasonal lentils. For farmers cultivating such mid-season crops, the shield doesn’t exist in the shape of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY).“The rabi crops have already been harvested and the summer crops of kharif will be planted only in mid-June or July with ...
