like a Ferrari. Therefore SEBI has stepped up its surveillance on
companies who indulge in somewhat shenanigans.
- SEBI has asked exchanges to closely watch on any
misstatement in financials, Accounting policies, the resignation of key
managerial personnel, a sharp jump in profits, etc. to push up the stock
prices.
- For this, a separate team has been formed to monitor
the following checks mentioned in the previous point.
- SEBI’s finance investigation department is also
responsible for carrying out probes on fraud, diversion, laundering, or
misappropriation of funds.

- Inverted duty structure- a situation where inputs
attract a higher duty than the one applicable on finished goods. Because
of this GST credit has increased where businessmen won’t be able to
collect from government and cost has to bear by the businessman.
- Technically GST was applied so that the end consumer
could bear the cost of GST but unfortunately, it is not happening.
- To overcome such instances, the Government has spiked
the rate by 12% of GST on apparel, textiles, footwear, so that cost of GST
would be transferable to the end consumer.
- The problem here rises for the business who were
earlier paying 5% and now they have to pay 12%. Therefore businesses are
opposing these new changes.
