[Goanet-News] NEWS: Curious case of a Goa property (The Hindu)

On-paper owner says it belongs to an IRS officer facing bribery charges

It is a curious case of a Goa property that no one wishes to lay claim
on. The woman who signed the sale deed on behalf of the owners, which
has been attached by the Enforcement Directorate as “proceeds of
crime” and the attachment now confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority,
is missing. And the on-paper owner alleges that the property belongs
to an Indian Revenue Service officer who is facing bribery
allegations.

The ED case pertains to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
charge sheet against IRS officer Ashutosh Verma and others, including
Suresh Nanda, his son Sanjeev Nanda and chartered accountant Bipin
Shah. The CBI has accused the officer of receiving bribes purportedly
to dilute Income-Tax appraisal of companies owned by the Nandas.

According to the ED, the case is an off-shoot of legal technical
surveillance of the telephone/mobile calls made by all the suspected
persons including Mr. Verma conducted by the CBI.

The relevant purported conversations of Mr. Verma with Nanda and Bipin
Shah pertained to proposed purchase of an 11,615 sq metre property at
Morgim in Goa for Rs.4.40 crore. Subsequently, the CBI registered a
case in March 2008, arrested the accused persons and subsequently
filed a charge sheet against them.

Searches led to seizure of documents relating to a Goa house in the
name of Rajender Kashyap.

The CBI probe revealed that the property ownership had been
transferred in the name of a front company. The agency identified
another 2,100 sq metre property at Bardez in Goa purportedly owned by
Mr. Kashyap. Revenue records revealed that the sale deed of the
property was executed in January 2006 between Mumbai-based Neilia
Furniturewala, daughter of one of the sellers) and Mr. Kashyap. The ED
was unable to contact her.

In his statement to the ED, Mr. Kashyap claimed the property was
bought on behalf of the accused IRS officer and its original papers
were with Mr. Verma, who vehemently denied all the allegations. The
agency found that the IRS officer’s wife was earlier an authorised
signatory in one of Mr. Kashyap’s companies.

Based on the investigations, the ED alleged that the 2,100 sq metre
property was bought in the name of Mr. Kashyap, but was in fact
allegedly purchased by Mr. Verma. Accordingly, the agency recently
issued an order for provisional attachment of the “proceeds of crime”.
The Adjudicating Authority under the Prevention of Money Laundering
Act confirmed the attachment a few days ago.

The ED had earlier attached the 11,615-sq-feet property in connection
with the case.

[Goanet-News] OBITUARIES: Sept 4, 2014: Peter Sinai, diplomat of Goan origin...

2014-09-03 Thread Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا
PETER LYNN SINAI, DIPLOMAT OF GOAN ORIGIN: Former Indian
ambassador to many countries, including Austria, and the
United Nations too.  Passed away in Bangalore last week.  He
topped the competitive exams in 1956.  Listed as a prominent
alumni of Bishop Cotton's Bangalore.

An online 'daily diary of President Jimmy Carter'
[http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/documents/diary/1978/d010178t.pdf]
reminds us that it was Chief of Protocol of India Sinai who
greeted the President and the First Lady (along with US
Ambassador Robert F Goheen) during their visit to India on
January 1, 1978.  This was during the Janata Party regime.

Ramachandra Guha writes
[http://ramachandraguha.in/archives/the-impurity-of-cultures.html]:
In the 1950s, inspired by Jawaharlal Nehru, some very
brilliant young Indians went into the Foreign Service. Among
them was the Rhodes scholar Peter Lynn Sinai. A former
Ambassador to Austria and Iraq, Mr Sinai has now chosen to
make his home in Bangalore. At a dinner recently, I got
talking to him, to discover that to the brilliance of mind so
characteristic of the diplomats of his generation, Mr Sinai
had in addition a sparkling wit, as these two stories he told
me shall demonstrate.

The first anecdote related to the college we had both studied
in.  Peter Sinai took his first degree in Bombay, but then
his father, a native of Goa, instructed him to move to Delhi
for further studies.  The object was to make him learn Hindi,
to better equip himself for a career in the newly independent
(and presumably hyper-nationalist) India.  By sending him to
Delhi's premier college, the father planned to make his son a
proper desi.  However, on his first day at St.  Stephen's,
the young Sinai discovered that the conversation at the
dining table was conducted in (as he put it) a 'very haw-haw
English'.  The programme to indigenize the boy had in fact
inadvertently prepared him for a lifelong engagement with the
essential impurity of cultures

  Thanks to long-time Goanetter (and former
  Ambassador himself) Placido D'Souza
  plac...@gmail.com who drew this to our attention
  and said: He was probably the first Goan to get
  through the competitive exams and enter the Indian
  Foreign Service.  In fact, he topped the list of
  successful candidates in the entire competitive
  exams in 1957  as often happens in the
  diplomatic service, our paths never crossed till we
  both retired, some 30 years later.  He settled down
  in Bangalore and I in Pune, and we never met.  But
  I feel he needs to be remembered if only to inspire
  Goan youth to try and follow in his footsteps.

Re: [Goanet] business of medicine, Goa style

2014-09-03 Thread Santosh Helekar
It is always prudent to follow the notion that truth is somewhere in between. 
It is not hard to find evidence for the belief that there are corrupt 
pharmacists, doctors, businessmen and financial analysts anywhere, and at any 
time in history. The question is only of scale, and of the causes that are 
attributed to it, because the latter in particular depend on the biases of the 
persons making and believing the claims. Any reasonable unbiased person though 
would recognize that these corrupt practices have nothing to do with race, 
ethnicity, nationality or religion, and in Goa they certainly have nothing to 
do with liberation from the Portuguese, which in Goan forums is usually a code 
word for the former categories lumped together in the minds of people who 
consciously or unconsciously hold these prejudices.

Cheers,

Santosh

  Shiv Kumar - Journalist:
 
  Last week, I was in Goa for my business. I met a few of people from
  the audit departments of a few pharma companies whose plants are in
  Goa.
 
  After building a good rapport, one auditor confided with me that their
  people routinely fake test data for audit, even now after Ranbaxy and
  Wockhardt scare.
 
  Another audit guy who works for an MNC pharma said that their plant
  makes formulations for their global operations. in that, they give
  ingredients exactly as specified. However, they sell the same API (raw
  material) to Indian companies for Indian distribution (the MNC does
  not sell in India under its brands). There, they give lower quality
  ingredients, though they specify higher grade. So if the API is meant
  to be 60% active ingredient, it is usually 45-50% active ingredient
  and it is sold at cheaper prices to Indian pharma companies. Indian
  companies prepare tablets and sell, even though they know that the
  ingredient is of less than specified potency. Everybody in the
  industry apparently knows this open secret in Goa.
 
  A PRO of a well-known hospital in Goa told me there are some small
  time pharma companies who bring a couple of containers of their drugs
  into Goa and sell those tablets at very cheap rates to local doctors /
  pharmacies with strange, unknown brands. They throw parties for the
  doctors requesting them to write prescriptions for their brands. Once
  the containers are finished, they disappear. The brand or the company
  never comes again to the doctors.
 
  Finally, another trend in Goa medical practice: Some generic pharma
  companies approach big specialist doctors and offer to prepare tablets
  in the doctor's name!! They offer to make customised formulation with
  the doctor's branding. So you hear some funny brands that you never
  hear anywhere else. Only the other local doctors can tell that this
  brand is such and such doctor's brand of tablets. I took photos of
  some tablet strips. They were definitely not tested for anything. I
  know a lot about pharma industry, being involved with it for 21 years.
  One look at the contents and I could tell that all these ingredients
  cannot be put in one tablet - sort of a polypill with 38 ingredients.
 
  Some Goa doctors told me that these days, they trust medicines only if
  they are imported

Dear JoeGoaUk,

This is very useful. Thanks for your compilation!

Without you reminding us, my rusting brain would have definitely forgotten
many names on the list. We will never know how many non-active members of
Goanet have passed on since the past 20 years. (Which just reminds me of
one more active Goanetter, Edgar Martins, who died too. And then, there was
one of the first seniors whom I befriended through the Net in Goa, it was
Dr Ivo da Costa Azaredo... hope I got the spellings right... of the famous
Costa's brand and who returned from Portugal to shore up the family
business in wine, masalas and more. When I got to know him he was probably
in his 70s or late 60s already. His was quite a colourful story, and I
wrote about his wine-making once.)

As you know, not everyone reading Goanet is active in posting. So we might
not know how many we're really missing. If I trawl through my in-box, I
would surely get more names, since I've tried to invite people locally here
to Goanet. Another prominent name should be that of Dr Sharon Fernandes,
the young historian who was prolific in her academic output, but died
suddenly within a week after a brain tumour was suddenly discovered.

Of the above names, I knew Jorge, Cornel, Fr Ivo, Olav, Tony, Melinda and
Alfred Tavares very well. Philip Thomas had corresponded with me, but we
somehow never met, despite the short distance between us! I'm sure there
would be other names whom we have missed out...

Dr Olivinho Gomes (I might be wrong here) didn't post to Goanet, but we did
carry his writings, etc...

IN A country full of both ambition and frustration, Reliance Industries is
a “role model for all Indians who dare to dream,” says its boss, Mukesh
Ambani. The company certainly has much to boast of. It is hugely
profitable, earning more than any other private Indian firm. It is brave,
going where others fear to tread, constructing refineries, drilling for oil
and gas, building supermarkets and broadband networks. It invests more in
India and pays more corporation tax there than any other firm. Without
Reliance, which generates 15% of the country’s exports, the balance of
payments would be a wreck.

Yet in other ways, Reliance is a rotten role model for corporate India.
When it comes to governance this secretive and politically powerful private
empire is not a national champion but an embarrassment.

The father of Indian capitalism

Reliance’s culture reflects its roots. In the days before India liberalised
its economy in 1991, the firm’s founder, Dhirubhai Ambani, fought his way
up from a menial job in Yemen through Mumbai’s heaving tenements to the top
of Indian business. Socialist dogma and meddling officials were his foes,
charm and cunning his tools. He managed to run rings around the country’s
stifling rules. Dhirubhai’s tactics appalled India’s establishment. But he
marshalled resources to create industrial facilities of the kind every
economy needs, including one of the world’s biggest refineries in Gujarat,
his birthplace.

India is a more open place now and Mukesh Ambani—the country’s richest man,
worth $23.5 billion—is a more cosmopolitan figure than his father. He
studied in America, funds think-tanks and was a director of a Wall Street
bank. Yet he has maintained two family traditions. One, making big bets on
India, is welcome. Reliance is in the midst of a $30 billion investment
plan. Dhirubhai’s other legacy, poor governance, is not.

Reliance is a patriarchy with a lightweight board (see article
http://www.economist.com/news/business/21610238-mukesh-ambani-indias-most-powerful-tycoon-could-make-his-country-better-place-he-would).
Although a listed firm, it makes payments equivalent to a quarter of its
pre-tax profits to related entities, mainly privately held by the Ambani
family. Its ultimate ownership and beneficiaries are obscured by a mesh of
holding vehicles that India’s securities regulator says it does not fully
understand. The regulator accuses the firm of making illegal gains from
trading derivatives linked to its own subsidiary’s shares (an accusation
Reliance is contesting). Some foreign investors, put off by the lack of
transparency, shy away.

Reliance’s relationship with the government is even more troubling.
Anti-corruption campaigners claim Mr Ambani is the power behind the throne
of India’s political leaders. Politicians, officials and regulators say
Reliance has unusual clout. Reliance denies these claims. Meanwhile, the
national auditor is investigating a telecoms-spectrum auction the firm won.

In 2010 it seemed that Reliance might be changing. Mr Ambani bid for
LyondellBasell, a global chemicals giant. The deal would have both made
Reliance a killing and forced it to modernise its governance, but it fell
through. Since then the company’s culture has become even more
personalised. In June Mr Ambani’s wife joined the board. In July Reliance
took control of a big broadcaster, which will provide Mr Ambani with a
platform for his views, should he choose to use it that way.

Mr Ambani seems to believe that Reliance does not need to reform. He is
wrong, for two reasons. First, India’s economy is opening up, and the firms
most exposed to global competition—tech giants, for instance—have the
world-class governance and open cultures needed to command the trust of
counterparties, investors and clients, to attract talent and to foster
innovation. Asia’s best multinationals, such as Samsung and Lenovo, have
had to make painful reforms to stay competitive. Reliance operates in the
more opaque parts of the economy, such as infrastructure, that are trapped
in a time warp of barons and scandals. But to revive India’s growth rate,
Narendra Modi, the new prime minister, will probably expose these sectors
to a blast of competition and investment from abroad. The more open the
economy, the more of a liability Reliance’s opacity and bad reputation will
become.

Second, Indian society is turning against its tycoons. Independent
institutions such as the Supreme Court, the national auditor and the
central bank are on the warpath against crony capitalism. The electorate is
incensed by corruption. Mr Modi may be beholden to the businessmen who
bankrolled him, but the voters

[Goanet] NEWS: Curious case of a Goa property (The Hindu)

2014-09-03 Thread Goanet News
NEW DELHI, September 3, 2014

Devesh K. Pandey

On-paper owner says it belongs to an IRS officer facing bribery charges

It is a curious case of a Goa property that no one wishes to lay claim
on. The woman who signed the sale deed on behalf of the owners, which
has been attached by the Enforcement Directorate as “proceeds of
crime” and the attachment now confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority,
is missing. And the on-paper owner alleges that the property belongs
to an Indian Revenue Service officer who is facing bribery
allegations.

The ED case pertains to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
charge sheet against IRS officer Ashutosh Verma and others, including
Suresh Nanda, his son Sanjeev Nanda and chartered accountant Bipin
Shah. The CBI has accused the officer of receiving bribes purportedly
to dilute Income-Tax appraisal of companies owned by the Nandas.

According to the ED, the case is an off-shoot of legal technical
surveillance of the telephone/mobile calls made by all the suspected
persons including Mr. Verma conducted by the CBI.

The relevant purported conversations of Mr. Verma with Nanda and Bipin
Shah pertained to proposed purchase of an 11,615 sq metre property at
Morgim in Goa for Rs.4.40 crore. Subsequently, the CBI registered a
case in March 2008, arrested the accused persons and subsequently
filed a charge sheet against them.

Searches led to seizure of documents relating to a Goa house in the
name of Rajender Kashyap.

The CBI probe revealed that the property ownership had been
transferred in the name of a front company. The agency identified
another 2,100 sq metre property at Bardez in Goa purportedly owned by
Mr. Kashyap. Revenue records revealed that the sale deed of the
property was executed in January 2006 between Mumbai-based Neilia
Furniturewala, daughter of one of the sellers) and Mr. Kashyap. The ED
was unable to contact her.

In his statement to the ED, Mr. Kashyap claimed the property was
bought on behalf of the accused IRS officer and its original papers
were with Mr. Verma, who vehemently denied all the allegations. The
agency found that the IRS officer’s wife was earlier an authorised
signatory in one of Mr. Kashyap’s companies.

Based on the investigations, the ED alleged that the 2,100 sq metre
property was bought in the name of Mr. Kashyap, but was in fact
allegedly purchased by Mr. Verma. Accordingly, the agency recently
issued an order for provisional attachment of the “proceeds of crime”.
The Adjudicating Authority under the Prevention of Money Laundering
Act confirmed the attachment a few days ago.

The ED had earlier attached the 11,615-sq-feet property in connection
with the case.

2014-09-03 Thread Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا
PETER LYNN SINAI, DIPLOMAT OF GOAN ORIGIN: Former Indian
ambassador to many countries, including Austria, and the
United Nations too.  Passed away in Bangalore last week.  He
topped the competitive exams in 1956.  Listed as a prominent
alumni of Bishop Cotton's Bangalore.

An online 'daily diary of President Jimmy Carter'
[http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/documents/diary/1978/d010178t.pdf]
reminds us that it was Chief of Protocol of India Sinai who
greeted the President and the First Lady (along with US
Ambassador Robert F Goheen) during their visit to India on
January 1, 1978.  This was during the Janata Party regime.

Ramachandra Guha writes
[http://ramachandraguha.in/archives/the-impurity-of-cultures.html]:
In the 1950s, inspired by Jawaharlal Nehru, some very
brilliant young Indians went into the Foreign Service. Among
them was the Rhodes scholar Peter Lynn Sinai. A former
Ambassador to Austria and Iraq, Mr Sinai has now chosen to
make his home in Bangalore. At a dinner recently, I got
talking to him, to discover that to the brilliance of mind so
characteristic of the diplomats of his generation, Mr Sinai
had in addition a sparkling wit, as these two stories he told
me shall demonstrate.

The first anecdote related to the college we had both studied
in.  Peter Sinai took his first degree in Bombay, but then
his father, a native of Goa, instructed him to move to Delhi
for further studies.  The object was to make him learn Hindi,
to better equip himself for a career in the newly independent
(and presumably hyper-nationalist) India.  By sending him to
Delhi's premier college, the father planned to make his son a
proper desi.  However, on his first day at St.  Stephen's,
the young Sinai discovered that the conversation at the
dining table was conducted in (as he put it) a 'very haw-haw
English'.  The programme to indigenize the boy had in fact
inadvertently prepared him for a lifelong engagement with the
essential impurity of cultures

  Thanks to long-time Goanetter (and former
  Ambassador himself) Placido D'Souza
  plac...@gmail.com who drew this to our attention
  and said: He was probably the first Goan to get
  through the competitive exams and enter the Indian
  Foreign Service.  In fact, he topped the list of
  successful candidates in the entire competitive
  exams in 1957  as often happens in the
  diplomatic service, our paths never crossed till we
  both retired, some 30 years later.  He settled down
  in Bangalore and I in Pune, and we never met.  But
  I feel he needs to be remembered if only to inspire
  Goan youth to try and follow in his footsteps.

  late Dr.Joao/Adelina Costa Pereira of Margao.
  Loving sister/sister-in-law of late
  Dr.Filomeno/Maureen, Eng.Jose/Yvonne,

  Malini and Meena.  Expired peacefully on August 31,
  2014 at her home in Margao, at age eighty two.
  Maria Teresa is one of the last of the batch of
  Goans who did their higher studies in Portugal.
  After studying in the Liceu on the Abade Faria
  road, she finished her Setimo Ano in Pangim where
  she grew close to her grandparents and cousins.
  She was just a teenager when she proceeded on to
  Portugal for her higher studies and did a Doctorate
  in Germanicas at the University of Coimbra.  She
  later wrote to her parents that this was 'o tempo
  maid feliz da minha vida'...the happiest time of my
  life.  She was then posted in Macau and later in
  Angola and returned to Portugal when these
  Portuguese colonies gained independence.  She
  returned to Goa as a companion and caretaker to her
  aging parents.  Upon her return, Maria Teresa
  taught Portuguese to a generation of youngsters in
  Margao.  Maria Teresa is remembered for her love of
  life, sparkling wit and energy, joy in the present
  moment and her love and devotion of those close to
  her.  --Via Maria Teresa's sister Celina c...@uri.edu
