  1. thanks.. but then Board meeting is not required?
    what I understood is - hold a Board meeting to fix AGM and finalise notice then hold GM and then issue offer letters, but then when we need to record the names of the offerees, as the offer letter has to be sent within 30 days of recording

ECB vs FCCB

This is in response to the queries I received on whether ECB or FCCB is more convenient/liberal/less regulated. For guidelines on each of them, please refer to the links attached in the respective articles. FCCB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_nov05/703-708.pdf . ECB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_may04/p1216-19.pdf As regards which is more convenient, it always depends on the company raising funds. Historically, companies prefer ECBs over FCCBs . The RBI data for the month of December 2007 showed only 7 of 44 companies raising funds through FCCBs automatic route and all 7 companies preferring the ECB over FCCB through approval route. http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/ECB/pdfs/83662.pdf Government has said that it is contemplating relaxing norms governing external commercial borrowings (ECBs) to enable Indian corporates access higher foreign capital at low cost.

Reverse Mortgage in India

Imagine a situation where you grow old and have managed to buy a house. However, you could not save enough for your retirement. You certainly need money to manage your day to day finances since you are retired and have no fixed source of income or your income is not enough to meet your finances. Reverse Mortgage is the answer for you. Reverse Mortgage is a type of mortgage available to senior citizens in which a home-owner can borrow money against the value of his/her home. No repayment of the mortgage (principal or interest) is required until the borrower dies or the home is sold. After accounting for the initial mortgage amount, the rate at which interest accrues, the length of the loan and rate of home price appreciation, the transaction is structured so that the loan amount will not exceed the value of the home over the life of the loan.
