  1467. Wanted: MD to run Facebook's trickiest officeFacebook is planning a major change of face for its India operations, which oversees 250 million users. The US-headquartered social network major will rework how its top management in India will function, according to internal emails reviewed by ET.A new country head, the search for which is on, will be designated managing director and vice president (MD & VP), India and, to begin with, will report to David Fischer, Facebook’s global VP of business and marketing partnerships, who’s based in the company’s US headquarters. Fischer is leading the headhunt for a new chief in India.Earlier India heads were designated as MD, India and they reported to Facebook’s Asia-Pacific head in Singapore. Facebook has been without an India head since October 2017.The new VP & MD will be responsible for global marketing sales, partnerships, policy (except content policy), and communications.These moves may eventually lead Facebook’s India operations to get delinked from its Asia Pacific setup, some people familiar with the thinking inside the company said.Currently, Facebook India’s functional heads for communications, partnerships, marketing, sales reported to Asia Pacific office executives in Singapore.The company’s previous two India MDs â€" Umang Bedi and Kirthiga Reddy â€" were mostly responsible for sales, without much of a say in the other functions, people quoted earlier said. Facebook did not respond to a detailed ET questionnaire.A company internal mail written by Joel Kaplan, Facebook’s vice president of global public policy, says: “India is our fastest-growing market and we’ve concluded as a company that we need to change our organisational structure to set us up for the greatest success”.Kaplan also writes: “There is significant complexity in the market across multiple functions and operating as an integrated business externally in India has proved challenging.”Ankhi Das, Facebook’s director of public policy, India, South and Central Asia, and her team, will “report directly to this new VP”. Das, who joined Facebook in 2011 from Microsoft, is regarded by many as Facebook’s most power ful official in India currently, given the market’s growing importance from a policy point of view, as compared to product or even sales, where it contributes less than 1% to Facebook’s overall revenue.As of March 2017, Facebook India Online Services Pvt Ltd earned about Rs 341.8 crore in revenue for FY 2016-17, a 93% year-on-year increase from FY 2015-16, when it earned a revenue of Rs 177 crore.“Ankhi [Das] will have a dotted line to me [Kaplan], and her team will also remain connected to me and our global team â€" continuing to participate in all of the leadership and other policy meetings â€" to ensure our strategy in India is aligned with our overall policy objectives,” the email said.Facebook is currently battling perception and policymakers over multiple allegations of misuse of data and privacy.Last week, Ravi Shankar Prasad, India’s IT minister, told Parliament that the Central Bureau of Investigation has been asked to investigate this matter “with regard to possible misuse by Cambridge Analytica.”In May, ET and other news publications had reported that several candidates had been interviewed for the job for India head, including Hotstar CEO Ajit Mohan, Star India MD Sanjay Gupta, Tata Sky CEO Harit Nagpal, and former Karnataka IT Secretary, Srivatsa Krishna.
  1468. CGST changes: Cos may have to reverse cess creditsAfter the CGST Amendment Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha, companies which have claimed input credits for cesses like Krishi Kalyan Cess and Secondary & Higher Education cess (SHEC) are now staring at the possibility of having to reverse credit along with interest or take the government to court.As part of the supposed amendment which GST council approved in its July meeting and government passed today, an explanation under the relevant provisions said that credit of these cesses can’t be transitioned into GST.As per the government, the provision related to cesses will apply retrospectively once the parliament and all the state legislatures pass the bill.This will be applicable retrospectively from July 1, 2017.The problem that many companies now face is that they have already transitioned their cess credits into GST based on their reading of the original bill and closed their books for last year. If the companies have to reverse credits along with interest, then too there’s uncertainty due to the ambiguous law.“Everyone who had transitioned the cess to the new regime, they were genuinely under the belief that this is something that ideally should have been given as a credit even in the GST regime. It was a basic expectations of all corporate tax payers. Now government has not allowed that and also passed a retrospective amendment which the present government was always against. The denial of credit is wrong, also the way the credit has been denied is wrong,” said tax leader of one of India’s biggest MNC.There could be follow-on implications too. "In addition to the possible interest implications, the industry would as well need to now analyse the possible impact on profit and loss accounts, pricing of products, challenging of the provision in the court of law or exploring the possibility of seeking refund of cess credits" said Abhishek Jain, Tax Partner, EY.The proposed amendment was circulated as a draft and industry comments were sought on July 9-10. In their feedback, the industry representatives had voiced their reservations against restricting transition of cess related credits paid under the erstwhile tax regime but the government wasn’t receptive to the idea.What has caught the industry off guard in the current bill is the retrospective nature of the bill given that it goes against the government’s stated policy of not making retrospective tax amendments.Companies had gone by the literal interpretations of the original provisions in which there was no restriction that forbade them to carry forward that credit in GST. “If the intention of the government was not to give that credit then they should have drafted the law accordingly. They should have had this explanation on day one,” says a consultant who works closely with the government.
  1469. COAI urges TRAI Chief to outline priorities for 2 years; seeks predictable, stable regulatory regimeCellular Operators' Association of India (COAI) today asked the TRAI chairman to outline his major focus areas and priorities for the next two years, so the industry can look to "predictable" and stable regulatory environment" crucial for growth. The comments of COAI - which has, in the past, been severely critical of major TRAI decisions under Sharma's watch - comes against the backdrop of re-appointment of Sharma as the chairperson of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) for two more years. When contacted, Sharma declined to comment on his re-appointment. Meanwhile, the COAI said the sector's financial health, focus on 5G and challenges on spectrum pricing and pesky call rules need to be urgently prioritised from an industry standpoint. "It is up to the TRAI chairman to articulate what his major focus areas will be in the next two years so the industry can look for predictable and stable regulatory envrionment essential for growth and attracting investments," COAI Director general Rajan Mathews told . Mathews said the industry is seeking from the regulator a relationship of "trust, information sharing and predictability". "We would want TRAI to clarify some of the challenges we are facing on implementation of pesky call rules. We want to discuss the outstanding issues with TRAI," Mathews said. The COAI had raised a red flag over TRAI's new regulations on curbing pesky telemarketing calls and messages, saying tailoring of systems, and use of blockchain technology will involve Rs 200-400 crore investment and 18 months for the rollout, at a time when the sector is financially-stressed. However, Sharma had told yesterday in an interview that "reasonable time" has been given to telecom operators on the issue and that the norms came about only after a prolonged discussion with the industry. "It is not the knee-jerk reaction of TRAI...," Sharma had said. In the past, TRAI's decisions, ranging from slashing of call connect charges, to its stance on provision of points of internet (sought by Reliance Jio at the start of its services), and predatory pricing rules have been slammed by older operators like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular. Earlier this year, TRAI's predatory pricing rules sparked off a furore as established players and the trade body criticised the new norms. The COAI had indicated that the order distorted the market, placing all operators, except one (it had not named Reliance Jio) at a serious disadvantage. Sharma stood his ground all through, and maintained that while he takes telecom industry's 'fair criticism' in his stride, the levelling of allegations of bias without any proof bothers him as it discredits and lowers the institution's esteem. The fiery TRAI chief also engaged in a verbal spat with the Twitterati late last month over potential misuse of Aadhaar. Sharma had disclosed his unique ID number on the microblogging site and asked people to show how mere knowledge of the number could be used to harm him. The move had caused a social media flutter and a tsunami of tweets had ensued in the aftermath of the Aadhaar dare. Sharma yesterday said that no information was "discovered" about him on account of sharing of Aadhaar number, but had conceded that one of his takeaways from the episode had been that social media was not a suitable forum to discuss complex policy matters.
