Summary: Companies can convert loans into equity under certain conditions, as specified in their loan agreements. This conversion can improve the company’s balance sheet and debt-to-equity ratio, leading to a more favorable growth outlook. The process involves obtaining shareholder approval through a special resolution, filing necessary forms with the Registrar of Companies, updating the loan agreement, and conducting board meetings for allotment.

Read MoreThe All Gujarat Federation of Tax Consultants (AGFTC) and Income Tax Bar Association (ITBA) have submitted a representation to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, addressing the high fees for filing appeals with the GST Appellate Tribunal. Currently, the fee structure under the GST Act stipulates fees ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹50,000 for appeals, which the associations deem excessive compared to similar provisions under the Income Tax Act. They advocate for a more reasonable fee structure aligned with the income tax appeals process, where fees range from ₹500 to ₹10,000. The suggested revisions would impose a fee of ₹1,000 to ₹10,000 depending on the case’s tax or input tax credit involved, ensuring a fairer and more accessible appeal process for taxpayers. The associations request the government to consider these changes to create a more equitable and streamlined taxation system under GST, benefiting both taxpayers and businesses.
