Registration of Small Scale Industries(SSIs)
|
||
Registration of an existing or proposed small scale enterprise
is voluntary and not compulsory. It has no statutory basis. But, registration
is beneficial for the enterprise itself because it makes the unit eligible
for availing the benefits given by the Central or State Governments for
the promotion of SSIs. Some of the incentives so obtained by them relate
to credit guarantee scheme; priority sector lending; capital subsidy;
reduced customs duty; ISO-9000 certification reimbursement; power tariff
subsidies; exemptions under tax laws; etc.
The State
Directorate or Commissioner of Industries or District Industries Centres
(DIC's) are the concerned authorities for registration of small scale
units. This registration is both location specific and product specific.
Like in certain State capitals and metropolitan cities, it is granted
to only those units which are located in the designated industrial areas/estates.
A small scale unit is generally subjected to two types of registration. Initially, a provisional registration is granted for the proposed enterprise. It is termed provisional because the enterprise is yet to come into existence. It is granted for a specified period of time during which the unit is expected to be setup. A 'Provisional Registration Certificate (PRC)' enables the unit to obtain :- (i) term loans and working capital from financial institutions, banks under priority sector lending; (ii) facilities for accommodation, land and other approvals; (iii) no objection certificates (NOCs) and clearances from regulatory bodies such as pollution control board, labour regulations, etc. Once the unit has commenced commercial production, it is granted permanent registration. It is a life time registration given after physical inspection of the enterprise and scrutiny of certain documents. Some of the formalities required to be completed for seeking permanent registration are :-
Such a registration procedures is generally uniform across the States. However, there may be some modifications done by individual States. For example, certain States may have a 'SIDO registration scheme' and a 'State registration scheme'. But, whatever be the registration scheme, the main purpose is to maintain statistics and a roll of such units for providing incentives as well as to create nodal centres at the Centre, State and District levels to promote SSIs. It gives recognition to the industrial unit and helps in generating a database for policy planning. A small scale unit may also become liable for de-registration, if it crosses the investment limits; starts manufacturing any new item or items that require an industrial license or other kind of statutory license; or does not satisfy the condition of being owned, controlled or being a subsidiary of any other industrial undertaking. |
Steps to Starting a Small Business
Steps to Starting a Small Business
This how to start a business guide addresses some of the most common startup steps to ensure that your company is ready for success.
Prepare a business plan and materials
1. An important first step is preparing a business plan to define your business, products and services, and outline your goals, operating procedures and competition. If your company needs funding from a traditional loan or venture capitalists, a business plan will be required. Make sure your plan includes a marketing approach, so people are aware of what you're selling and how to find you.2. Create a business logo, cards and stationery. These items establish your company’s identity and help potential customers find and remember you.
Meet legal requirements
3. Of course, incorporating your business or forming an LLC with the state is important because it protects your personal assets from business debts and liabilities. Other benefits of forming a corporation or LLC include tax advantages and greater credibility with customers, vendors and business partners.4. Select an accountant and attorney. Many small business owners seek advice from accountants and attorneys. As you search for an accountant and attorney, get referrals from friends or family, and look for professionals who have worked with other small business owners or companies in your specific industry.
5. Get necessary tax identification numbers, licenses and permits. A federal tax identification number, or employer identification number (EIN), acts like a social security number and is required for corporations and LLCs that will have employees. Contact your state's taxation department to learn if a state tax identification number is required in your state. Also keep in mind that most businesses need licenses and/or permits to operate—in your city, municipality, county and/or state.
6. Insure your business and investigate other requirements. Some industries have specific insurance requirements. Discuss your needs with your insurance agent to get the right type and amount of insurance. Remember to look into any other government tax and insurance requirements that might apply to your business, particularly if you have employees. For example:
- Unemployment insurance
- Workers' compensation
- OSHA requirements
- Federal tax
- State and local tax
- Self-employment tax
- Payroll tax requirements (such as FICA, federal unemployment tax, and state unemployment tax)
- Sales and use tax
Prepare yourself financially
7. It is crucial to separate business finances from personal ones, so open a business bank account. Most banks require company details, such as formation date, business type, and owner names and addresses. If your business is not incorporated, most banks will require a DBA (doing business as or fictitious business name). Contact your bank about requirements prior to opening an account.8. Arrange your business accounting and apply for loans. You may want to use an accountant, or handle finances yourself with a small business accounting solution. Either way, properly account for all business disbursements, payments received, invoices, accounts receivable/accounts payable, etc. And if you don’t have enough capital to start a business, this is also the time to seek funding from banks or through Small Business Administration (SBA) loan programs.
9. Establish a business line of credit. This will help reduce the number of times your company prepays for purchased products and services. It also helps establish a strong credit history, which is helpful for vendor and supplier relationships. Getting a Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) DUNS (or D-U-N-S) number for your business is advisable, as it is often used to check business creditworthiness.
10. Ready your workspace. For home-based businesses, ensure you are meeting city zoning requirements for your area. For non home-based businesses, you'll likely need to lease office space. Don't forget to purchase or lease furniture and office equipment to get your business up and running.

Purpose of Project Management
The Purpose of Project Management and Setting Objectives
Project Management has developed in order to plan, co-ordinate and control the complex and diverse activities of modern industrial and commercial projects. All projects share one common characteristic - the projection of ideas and activities into new endeavours.The purpose of project management is to foresee or predict as many dangers and problems as possible; and to plan, organise and control activities so that the project is completed as successfully as possible in spite of all the risks. The ever-present element of risk and uncertainty means that events and tasks leading to completion can never be foretold with absolute accuracy. For some complex or advanced projects, even the possibility of successful completion might be of serious doubt.
Project management can involve the following activities: planning - deciding what is to be done; organising - making arrangements; staffing - selecting the right people for the job; directing - giving instructions; monitoring - checking on progress; controlling - taking action to remedy hold ups; innovation - coming up with new solutions; representing - liaising with users.
Setting Objectives
Effective objectives in project management are specific. A specific objective increases the chances of leading to a specific outcome. Therefore objectives shouldn't be vague, such as "to improve customer relations," because they are not measurable. Objectives should show how successful a project has been, for example "to reduce customer complaints by 50%" would be a good objective. The measure can be, in some cases, a simple yes or no answer, for example, "did we reduce the number of customer complaints by 50%?"While there may be one major project objective, in pursuing it there may be interim project objectives. In lots of instances, project teams are tasked with achieving a series of objectives in pursuit of the final objective. In many cases, teams can only proceed in a stair step fashion to achieve the desired outcome. If they were to proceed in any other manner, they may not be able to develop the skills or insights along the way that will enable them to progress in a productive manner.
Objectives can often be set under three headings:
Performance and Quality
The end result of a project must fit the purpose for which it was intended. At one time, quality was seen as the responsibility of the quality control department. In more recent years the concept of total quality management has come to the fore, with the responsibility for quality shared by all staff from top management downwards.Budget
The project must be completed without exceeding the authorised expenditure. Financial sources are not always inexhaustible and a project might be abandoned altogether if funds run out before completion. If that was to happen, the money and effort invested in the project would be forfeited and written off. In extreme cases the project contractor could face ruin. There are many projects where there is no direct profit motive, however it is still important to pay proper attention to the cost budgets, and financial management remains essential.Time to Completion
Actual progress has to match or beat planned progress. All significant stages of the project must take place no later than their specified dates, to result in total completion on or before the planned finish date. The timescale objective is extremely important because late completion of a project is not very likely to please the project purchaser or the sponsor.Conclusion
Project management has developed over the years, and involves various activities before a project is completed. Objectives should be specific so they are measurable, and although there may be one major project objective, there may be minor objectives throughout the project.What is the difference between Consent and Free Consent and also discuss the position of agreements made without free consent
What is the difference between Consent and Free Consent and also discuss the position of agreements made without free consent
Without the consent of the parties contract cannot take place. Where the parties have different things in mind or understand the same thing in different ways is not real consent. It defines in the following words :
"When two or more person agree upon the same thing in the same sense, they are said to be consent."
In above definition two words are more important, same thing and same sense. In some cases the consent may have been given under the mistake which prevents the formation of real agreement. Mistakes may relate to :
i. The subject matter of the agreement.
ii. The nature of transaction.
iii. The identity.
FREE CONSENT :-
Free consent is the consent which has been obtained by the free will of the parties. No pressure in the form of coercion fraud undue influence, mistake and misrepresentation in obtaining the consent. Contract section defines free consent in the following words :
"Consent is said to be free when it is not caused by (a) coercion, (b) undue influence, (c) fraud, (d) misrepresentation (e) mistakes."
Effects on Agreement :-
When both the parties consent is caused by mistake, contract is not enforceable by law at the option of any of the contracting party. Because it is a void contract. In any contract if the consent is not free it is a voidable contract at the option of the party whose consent was caused.
Example :- If one person enters into an agreement by fraud. Later he comes to know about the real story, then he may reject it or he may confirm it. If he confirms it then it becomes a such contract whose consent was not free. Free consent of both parties is necessary for the validity of the contract. The contract will be void or voidable when the consent of any contracting party is not free.
Void Contract Example :- Mr. Ram agrees to buy a cow from Mr. Raju. It turned out that the cow was dead at the time of contract. Now it is void contract.
Voidable Contract Example :- Mr. Tariq causes Miss. Pinky to enter into an agreement by threatening to kill her son. If Miss. Pinky signs the agreement, the contract is voidable at the option of Miss. Pinky. No doubt Miss. Pinky has given consent to the agreement but it is not a free consent. It is a voidable agreement and it can be cancelled at the option of Miss. Pinky.

Discuss the position of minor in business contract or Describe the law relating to the minors act
Discuss the position of minor in business contract or Describe the law relating to the minors act
Any person who has not attained the age of eighteen tears, is minor in the eye of law.
A minor has no capacity to enter into contract. His agreement is absolutely void. The contract act very clearly says that the parties to a contract must be competent to contract. A person is a competent who is of the age of majority. An agreement entered into by a minor is not enforceable at law.
REASON :-
Law is a guardian and it protects the minor against his own in-experience and improper acts made in the early years of life. A minor is supposed to be incapable of judging what is good and what is bad for him.
1. Minor and Equitable Consideration :-
A minor is not liable to perform what he has promised to do under the agreement not to repay the money that he has received under it. According to the law a minor can not be compelled to compensate for any benefit received by him under his agreement which is void.
2. Estoppel Case :-
Estoppel means when someone makes an other person to believe that a particular thing or fact is true. Then later on he can not be allowed to deny the truth of that thing.
Example :- Mr. Kashif a minor induces Miss. Sheela to enter into a contract with him by a fraudulent misrepresentation that he is of full age. Now after attaining the age of majority, he says that he was minor at the time of entering into contract. No doubt Mr. Kashif deceived Miss. Sheela but a minor cannot be stopped from setting up defence of his infancy.
3. Rules About Partnership :-
A minor cannot become a partner, but with the consent of all other partners, he can be admitted in the benefits of the partnership. He is not liable only upto his shares in the firm.
4. Rules About Favourable Agreement :-
A minor can take benefit of that agreement which is made for his benefit.
Example 1 :- Mr Karmu borrows the money from Mr. Nutwar a minor and executes a mortgage of a house in favour of Mr. Nutwar (a minor) then Mr. Nutwar can enforce the mortgage as it is in favour of the minor.
Example 2 :- If Mr. Nutwar a minor borrows the money from Mr. Karmu and executes a mortgage of a house in a favour of Mr. Karmu then Mr. Kermu cannot enforce the mortgage as it was executed by the minor.
Example 3 :- In case of promissory notes bonds and bill of exchange executed by a minor are not enforceable by law, if these are against the benefit of the minor. On the other hand minor may enforce a promissory note or bond executed in his favour.
Note : If a guardian purchases an immoveable property on behalf of the minor the contract is valid.
5. Rules About Agent :-
A minor can be an agent. On behalf of the principal he may enter into contract with the third party. He can make his principal responsible by his acts. But he himself is not liable to his principal.
Note : No doubt a minor cannot enter into a valid contract but minority does not affect adoption, marriage dower and divorce.
6. Minors Surety :-
In case of contract guarantee an adult stands surely for minor. In this case minor is not awarded but adults is liable under the contract.
Example :- Mr. Nadir a minor makes a contract with Mr. Riaz. Mr. Noor stands surety for Mr. Nadir. The contract is valid.
7. Parents Position :-
The parents of minor are not liable for agreements made by their minor. The parents can be held responsible of the minor acts as their agent.
Example :- Mr. Agha send his son to Mr. Noor a minor to buy goods from Mr. Habib. Mr. Noor buys goods but Mr. Agha who is father is responsible for payment.
8. Minor & Negotiable Instruments :-
A minor can draw and deliver the negotiable instruments. He is not liable but all the other parties to the instruments are liable.
Example :- A minor draws a bill on Y. Y accept the bill. S endorses it to K. The bill is valid.
9. Case Of Insolvency :-
In this case minor cannot be declared insolvent. If he has no property then payment cannot be recovered.
10. Adult and Minor Agreement :-
If the above two enter in to the agreement with the third party, the adult will be liable but minor will be not responsible.
Example :- The Mr. Jacky minor and Mr. Arif adult make an agreement with Mr. Nash to purchase a factory. The contract is valid.
11. Company Shares :-
A minor cannot become the share holder of the company. But in case of fully paid up shares a minor can become a shareholder of the company.
Example :- Jacky has fully paid up shares in a company. He dies and leaves Mr. Anderson a minor as a legal representative. The company is bound to transfer the shares to Mr. Anderson.
12. Necessaries of Minor :-
A person who provides the necessaries to the minor is entitled to recover from the property of the minor. If the minor s not liable personally.
Example :- Mr. Vitory supplies necessaries to Mr. Kim a minor for his life. Mr. Vitory can recover the amount from Mr. Kim's property. If property is not available then Mr. Kim is personally not liable.

1. The basic essential for the contingent contract is that its performance depends upon the happening or non-happening of uncertain future.
2. Contingency depends upon the act of the party and not on the wish of the party.
3. Contingency condition is also necessary. The happening or non-happening of the event must collateral to the subject matter of the contract.

Write a comprehensive note on the Quasi Contract or Implied Contract and also discuss the various conditions of Quasi Contracts?
Write a comprehensive note on the Quasi Contract or Implied Contract and also discuss the various conditions of Quasi Contracts?
Sometimes on the basis of equity and justice legal sanction is given to some contracts. In fact these contracts are not between the parties and mutual consent of the parties is also not required. Rights and duties between the parties are created by law. So quasi contract or implied contract is a contract which is constituted by law. Quasi contract is applicable on the following cases :
1. Supply of Necessaries To a Minor or Lunatic :-
Necessaries means goods suitable to the condition in life of minor or lunatic person. If a person is incapable to enter into a contract. Any one person who is legally bound t support, provides the "Necessaries" according the life conditions of the minor or lunatic. He is also entitled to recover the value from the property for such incapable person.

3. Liability of One Person But Paid By Other Can Be Recovered :-
Sometimes one person pays the money for the other person but not as a free gift. Any person on whose behalf money is paid enjoys benefits. So he is also bound to make compensation to his benefactor.
Example :- Suppose Mr. Akram holds the factory of Mr. Nisar on lease. The tax payable by Mr. Nisar to the government being in arrears, the factory is advertised for sale by the government. Under the law it will also effect the benefits of Mr. Nisar's lease. Mr. Nisar to prevent the sale pays tax to the government, the sum due from Mr. Akram. Mr. Akram is bound to compensate to Mr. Nisar by paying the such amount.
4. Mistake and Coercion :-

5. Non Gratuitous Act :-
Contract section is says, " That when one person lawfully does any thing for another or delivers any thing to him, not intending to give as a free gift, other person also enjoys benefits, the later is bound to make compensation to the former.
What do you mean by performance of contract and who can demand performance? also discuss the rules regarding the order of performance of reciprocal
What do you mean by performance of contract and who can demand performance? also discuss the rules regarding the order of performance of reciprocal
It means the fulfillment of legal obligations created under contract by the promisor and promisee. Contract comes to an end when both the parties performed the contract properly.
Demand For Performance :-
Performance is always demanded by the promisee. A third party has no right to demand performance of the contract. If promisee dies then his legal representative can demand.
Example :- Mr. Fahad promises Mr. Wahid to pay Rs. 1 lac to Mr. Jhon. In this case Mr. Wahid is a promisee and he can demand performance. If Mr. Fahad does not pay to Mr. Jhon then jhon can not take any action, because he is a third party. It is Mr. Wahid who can take action. Even at the death of Mr. Wahid his legal representative can take action.
Who May Perform :-
A promisor personally or through his agent, legal representative or third person can fulfill the promise.
In case of joint promises all the promisors jointly fulfill the promise or any one may be compelled to perform or each promisor may compel for contribution.
RULES REGARDING THE ORDER OF PERFORMANCE OF RECIPROCAL PROMISES :-
When one party makes a promise in consideration of the similar promise made by the other party is called reciprocal promise.
1. Rules Regarding The Order of Performance :-
When performance of the promise of one party depends on the prior performance of the promise by the other party, the promises are called mutual and dependent. If first party promisor fails to perform its promise according the contract, then it cannot claim the performance of the reciprocal promise and will also compensate the other party.
Example :- Mr. Naveed contracts with Mr. Aslam to construct the house for a fixed price. According to contract Mr. Aslam had to supply the construction material. Such construction is being dependent on the supply of material, the work cannot be started. The loss caused to Mr. Naveed will be compensated by Mr. Aslam.
2. Mutual & Independent :-
In this case each party performs his promise independently without waiting the performance of other party.
Example :- Mr. Candy and Mr. Shafi contract that Mr. Candy will construct a house for a fixed price. It was also agreed by both the parties that payment will be made by Mr. Candy after the construction of a house.
3. Mutual and Concurrent :-
In this case of two promises performed at the same time. The promisor may not perform his promise unless the promisee is ready to perform his reciprocal promise.
Example :- Mr. Snak contracts with Mr. Alex that he will deliver the car to him only if he will make the payment. Mr. Snak needs not to deliver unless Mr. Alex is ready and willing to pay for it. Mr. Alex also no need to make the payment unless car is delivered to him.
4. Consequence To Prevent The Performance :-
In case of reciprocal promises if one party to the contract prevents the other party the contract becomes voidable at the option of the prevented party. Prevented party is also entitled to compensation for any loss, which he causes due to non-performing of contract.
5. Time and Place :-
It relates with the rules regarding the determination of time and place.
6. Specified Time :-
If the time and place is prescribed in the contract then it should be performed at the specified time and place.
7. Reasonable Time :-
In this case reasonable time depends on the circumstances of each case.
8. Proper Place :-
In this regard promisor must ask the promisee where he would like the contract to be performed.
Write a note on the following 1. Continuing Guarantee 2. Wagering Contract 3. Promise and Reciprocal Promises
Write a note on the following 1. Continuing Guarantee 2. Wagering Contract 3. Promise and Reciprocal Promises
Its define in the following words, " A guarantee which extends to a series of transaction is called continuing guarantee."
Guarantee is not only limited for a single credit or transaction.
This guarantee is revoked when the surety's liability is discharged. It may also at any time be revoked by the surety as to future transactions by notice to the creditor.
Wagering Contract :-
"Wager" and "Bet" both words are used in the same sense. The word wager is defined in the following words, "A promise to give money or money's worth upon the determination or ascertainment of an uncertain event."
A wager depends upon uncertain event. It is a game of chance. One can suffer a loss earn a money. All the wagering contracts are void. No body can file a suit for the recovery of anything won by wager. For the wagering contract it is necessary that each party may win or loss.
Note : An agreement to subscribe a sum of Rs. 5000/- or upwards to be awarded to the winner of any horse race is not unlawful.
Example :- Suppose there is a match between the Indian and Pakistan Cricket team. Mr. Danial promises to pay Mr. Amir Rs. 10,000 if Indian cricket team wins the match. Now this contract is void in the eyes of law and no body can file a suit for the recovery of winning amount.
Promise :-
The word promise is defined in the following words, "A proposal when accepted, becomes a promise."
Generally two parties are involved in the promise. The person who makes the offer is called promisor. While a person who accepts the offer is called promisee.
