Comprehending Business Modelling Through the
Contours of Business Model Basics*
Introduction
A business model is a company's plan for how it will generate revenues and make a profit. It explains
what products or services the business plans to manufacture and market, and how it plans to do so,
including what expenses it will incur
A business model lays out a step-by-step plan of action for profitably operating the business in a
specific marketplace. The business model for a restaurant is significantly different from the business
model for an online business for instance.
To put together a good business model, you need to know the value proposition for the business. A
value proposition is a straightforward statement of what a company offers in the form of goods or
services that is of value to potential customers or clients, ideally in a way that differentiates the
company from its competitors. A business model should also include projected startup costs and
sources of financing, the target customer base for the business, marketing strategy, competition, and
projections of revenues and expenses. One of the most common mistakes leading to the failure of
business startups is a failure to project the necessary expenses to fund the business to the point of
profitability, i.e., the point in time when revenues exceed expenses.
It is to be noted that the need for transparent and robust valuations to support corporate transactions
and to meet regulatory and accounting requirements has increased. But justifying the value of assets
and liabilities has grown more complex and critical for most businesses.
Different Forms of Business Models
a) Direct Sales: Under a direct sales business model, sales of products or services
generate revenue through a network of salespeople who sell directly to customers. Typically, no
fixed retail location exists under a direct sales business model. Instead, individual salespeople
are connected with a large parent company and given the tools to become
individual entrepreneurs.
Direct sales takes place through presentations or demonstrations of the product or service in a
one-on-one setting or during a hosted party at a prospect's home or business. Business owners
in direct sales earn a portion of their sales, while the company providing the product retains the
remaining revenue. Companies such as Avon, Arbonne and Herbalife are examples of direct sales
business model.
* Akinchan Buddhodev Sinha, Assistant Director, ICSI.

The views expressed are personal views of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the
Institute.
b) Franchise Model: Under a franchise business model, business owners purchase another
organization's business strategy. Instead of creating a new product and the distribution chain to
deliver that product to consumers, the franchisee purchases an ownership stake in a business
model that has already been successfully developed. The company offering its proprietary
product or service, its business processes and its brand is known as the franchisor, and it
benefits from a reduction in capital output used to build new locations. Franchise owners earn a
portion of the revenue generated by their locations, and the franchisor collects licensing fees in
addition to a percentage of sales revenue from the franchisee. Popular companies that depend
on the franchise business model for growth include McDonald's, Subway and Starbucks.
c) Freemium Model: For companies that offer personal or business services via the Internet,
the freemium business model is common. Under a freemium model, business give away a service
at no cost to the consumer as a way to establish the foundation for future transactions.
Companies that offer a basic-level service for free build relationships with customers and
eventually offer advanced services as add-ons or advertisement-free options at a cost. The
freemium model tends to work well for Internet-based businesses with little
customer acquisition costs but high lifetime value.
d) Subscription Model: Businesses that operate in an industry where customer acquisition costs are
high may operate under a subscription or recurring revenue business model. The objective of a
subscription business model is to retain customers under a long-term contract and secure
recurring revenue from repeat purchase of a product or service.
Companies operating online create subscription models that require the customer to sign up for
automatic payment plans, and they may charge a cancellation fee for a contract that ends prior to the
preset time frame.
Ideal Business Model- Steps to be Embraced
In order to have an apposite business model, the following steps need to be espoused-
1) Assessment: To determine what will make a business model work, one need to assess all of the
factors surrounding the business. There is a need to peep into internal and external
environments surrounding the business. Gather and maintain data about the company and its
products so that the organization possesses data to back up trends and changes in the company.
This information will assist in formulating future decisions.
2) Prioritize and Determine Objectives: Set company goals. An organization may not be able to
accomplish everything, but know what items are most important and make sure those goals are
reached is highly essential. A business should prioritize tasks. In addition, the model suggests
that a business set clear expectations for employees so that each person is in line with company
goals. By setting clear objectives for employees -- from daily responsibility to things each person
should learn -- the business will maintain a higher level of efficiency.
3) Measurement: Not only should a business should gather data about itself and set clear
expectations, it should also keep a record of results. Are the outcomes are as per the
expectations, Is the business is meeting production and financial targets etc. According to
Scheurer, "There is additional value to pursuing strong outcomes measurement simply because
measurement focuses attention". A few things a business should consider for measuring
include results (such as revenue), business goals achieved, implementation of projects,

promotion and retention of employees and performance observation.
4) Technology and Customer Service: Technology and customer service go hand-in-hand. People
look to social media for information about products and services and expect results from
companies. In return, customers report business performance in social media channels. Dennis
Crowley, the founder of Foursquare, told Mashable that "guerrilla-style customer service" using
Twitter is an immediate way to solve a customer's problem. Twitter is also a tool that can be
used to collect information on how the business is being perceived by its customers by collecting
tweets, retweets and associated media clips about the company. In-person customer service is
also an important component to any business' strategy.
Business Models for Start-Ups
Sine start-ups have become an exhortation, it is imperative to delve deep into various business models
applicable for Start-Ups
Marketplace model - A marketplace is where two or more types of users meet to transact.
Typically the marketplace derives its revenue through what is called a marketplace rake,
typically a percent of transacted revenue on the marketplace. Instead of a percentage rake,
some marketplaces may instead charge fixed transactional fees. Examples of marketplaces
include eBay (a marketplace of buyers and sellers of used goods), Uber (a marketplace of car
drivers and car riders), Airbnb (a marketplace of hosts and guests), and Instacart (a
marketplace of grocery retailers and consumers and FundersClub portfolio company).
Marketplaces are extremely hard to get started and to get to a point of constant high liquidity
(demand meeting supply), but are very defensible once established.
SaaS (Software as a Service) - A SaaS business model entails delivering software to customers,
typically enterprise software to SMB and/or enterprise clients, and charging a subscription
(e.g. monthly, annually, etc) for the software. Sometimes, service contracts are also included
for deriving revenue from custom support or integration. Sometimes SaaS companies may
choose to have a freemium model, wherein entry level plans are free, and more robust plans
are paid. Examples of SaaS startups include Salesforce.com and Dropbox.
E-Commerce - An eCommerce business model refers to selling goods online and extracting
revenue from the transactions through markups on products sold, or through other means.
This may seem like an age-old business model, but as of 2015, only about 7% of all retail
commerce occurs online. Examples of eCommerce startups include Amazon.com and Warby
Parker.
Consumer - A consumer model typically implies a free or low cost app distributed to
consumers that provides value to and engagement with consumers, which in turn builds up a
valuable distribution channel to consumers that has inherent value today or that can be
subsequently monetized. Examples of consumer startups include Instagram and SnapChat;
neither heavily monetized, but have built up significant value due to their ubiquity with and
engagement with consumers. Consumer apps may sometimes try to monetize via advertising,
data, and other means.
API Startups - API business model startups serve the emerging developer economy, typically
monetizing via a subscription, SaaS like model based on API usage, in other cases monetizing
via transaction fees if processing currency. Examples of API startups include Stripe and Twilio.
Data - Data business model startups derive value from collecting, and in some cases cleaning,
reformatting, and/or analyzing data.
Licensing - Licensing startups derive value from licensing intellectual property, which can
include patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and know-how. Examples of licensing business
models include Arm Holdings which is a fabless semiconductor company.
Hardware - Hardware startups produce hardware-enabled devices and monetize by charging
for the devices and/or software and/or services associated with the hardware.

P. Punnaiah v. Jeypore Sugar Co. Ltd & Ors [SC]

Civil appeal No.1899 of 1981
B.P. Jeevan Reddy & B. L.Hansaria, JJ. [Decided on 06/04/1994]
Equivalent citations: 1994 AIR SC 2258, 1994 SCC (4) 341; (1994) 81 Comp Cas 1 SC;
(1994) 14 CLA 155.
Companies Act,1956- sections 397,398 & 399- petition signed by power of attorney
holder of the shareholder- whether valid consent-Held, Yes.
Brief facts : The three appellants in this appeal are the shareholders of the first respondent-company.
The first appellant's daughter Smt V. Rajeshwari also holds certain shares in the first respondent-
company. She executed a General Power of Attorney (GPA) in favour of her father, the first appellant
herein. The three appellants herein filed an application under Sections 397/398 in the High Court of
Orissa. Appellant 1 signed the petition on behalf of his daughter on the strength of the GPA.
The precise question in this appeal is whether the consent given by her GPA holder for and on her
behalf and not by her personally is a valid consent within the meaning of sub-section (3) of Section
399.
Decision : Appeal allowed.
Reason : A reading of the several clauses of the GPA discloses ex facie that the powers given
thereunder are wide enough to take in the power to grant the consent under Section 399(3). Under
the said deed, Smt Rajeshwari empowered her father to manage and otherwise administer her
moveable and immovable properties including shares and stock as may be held by her and to take all
proceedings before all the authorities and courts concerning the said properties and shares. The deed
also empowered him to sign all necessary papers relevant in that behalf and to file them in courts and
generally to do all things as may be necessary to safeguard her interest. It is obvious that in pursuance
of the said deed, it would have been perfectly legitimate for the first appellant to institute suits,
petitions and other proceedings with respect to the shares or other moveable and immovable
properties held by Smt Rajeshwari. Indeed it would well have been within the power of the GPA
holder to have himself figured as an applicant, acting in the name of Smt Rajeshwari, in the said
application filed under Sections 397/398. If so, there appears no reason why the consent could not
have been given by the Power of Attorney holder which is only a step towards protecting the interest
of Rajeshwari. It in effect means joining the filing of the application under Sections 397/398. May be
that there are some functions/duties which cannot be performed through a Power of Attorney Agent
(e.g. quasi-judicial/judicial functions) but there appears to be no good reason why the consent
contemplated by Section 399(3) cannot be given by such Power of Attorney holder, when indeed he
could himself have filed such an application in the name of and on behalf of Smt Rajeshwari. In this
connection we may notice yet another fact. With a view to counteract the objection taken by the
respondents, the appellants filed an affidavit of Smt Rajeshwari wherein she affirmed that on her
recent visit to India she was apprised by her father of the affairs of the first respondent-company and
of the proposal to file an application against the first respondent-company and its management
alleging oppression and mismanagement. She affirmed that she had authorised her father to act on
her behalf as her GPA in that behalf and to take all such steps as he deemed proper to protect her
interest.
The Company Judge and the Division Bench have, however, taken the view that the consent to be
granted by a member of the Company under Section 399(3) must be a conscious decision of the
member himself/herself. They opined that the member must personally apply his mind to the
advisability of granting consent and then grant it. In this view of the matter, they held, the GPA holder
is not competent to grant the consent.
We are unable to agree with the said reasoning. Section 399 or subsection (3) thereof does not either
expressly or by necessary implication indicate that the consent to be accorded thereunder should be
given by the member personally, As we have emphasised hereinabove, the first appellant could have
filed, or joined as an applicant in an application under Sections 397/398 in the name of and for and on
behalf of Smt Rajeshwari as her GPA holder. No question of 'consent' would have and could have
arisen in such a case. If so, it is un-understandable as to why and how he could not have given consent
on behalf of Smt Rajeshwari, the member, under Section 399(3). No rule or decision could be brought
to our notice saying that the consent under Section 399(3) cannot be given by a GPA holder (who is
empowered by the principal to manage and administer the shares and stocks held by the principal
and to take all necessary steps and proceedings in all courts, offices and tribunals in that behalf). In
this connection, it is relevant to notice that shares may also be held by a company or other corporate
body. Question may arise what one means by a personal decision by a company or other juristic
person. Be that as it may, we see no warrant for holding that Section 399(3) is an exception to the
normal rule of agency. The normal rule is that whatever a person can do himself, he can do it through
his agent, except certain functions which may be personal in nature or otherwise do not admit of such
delegation. The consent contemplated by Section 399(3) falls under the general rule and not under
the exception.
Learned counsel for the appellant invited our attention to a decision of the Division Bench of the
Bombay High Court in Killick Nixon Ltd. v. Bank of India, (1985) 57 Comp Cas 831. In this case it is held
that the General Power of Attorney holder is empowered to grant consent under Section 399(3). The
General Power of Attorney concerned therein is substantially in the same terms as the one concerned
herein. We agree with the said decision.
The observations to the effect that the right to present an application of winding up and the right to
vote for the election of Directors are the personal rights of shareholders must be understood in the
context of the question considered therein. The observations cannot be torn from their context to
hold that the said rights cannot be exercised through an agent. That was not the issue before the
Court. Mr Sibal also brought to our notice the decision of this Court in R. Subba Rao v. CIT, AIR 1956 SC
604. The matter arose under Section 26-A of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1922 read with Rules 2 and 6
of the rules framed in that behalf. The rules provided that an application for renewal of registration of
the firm "shall be signed personally by all the partners". It is because of the said requirement that it
was held that partners must sign such an application personally. In the absence of any such
expression in Section 399(3), the said decision is of no help to the respondents herein.
For the above reasons, the appeal is allowed and the orders of the learned Company Judge and the
Division Bench impugned herein are set aside.
MACKINTOSH BURN LTD. V. SARKAR AND CHOWDHURY ENTERPRISES PVT.LTD [SC]

Civil Appeal Nos. 3322-3323 of 2018(Arising out of S.L.P. (C) Nos.8204-8205 of 2018)
M M Shantanagoudar & K Joseph, JJ. [Decided on 27/03/2018]
Companies Act,2013- section 58- refusal to register share transfer- conflict of interest
between the company and the transferee- whether this could be sufficient cause- Held,
Yes.
Brief facts: The appellant is a public company with majority of shares held by the Government of
West Bengal. The respondent, which is holder of 28.54 per cent of the shares purchased 100 shares,
which together would make its holding 39.77 per cent, sought registration of the shares. Since, no
orders were passed on the registration, the respondent approached the Company Law Board. It was
mainly contended by the appellant that the respondent Company is controlled by a competitor in
business, and hence, it would not be in the interest of the Government Company to permit such
transfer. The Company Law Board, however, rejected the contentions and directed registration as per
order dated 16.09.2015.Thereafter, the appellant appealed to the High Court and also sought review
of its order and ultimately the issue reached the Supreme Court.
Decision : Appeal allowed. Case remanded to NCLT.
Reason : Refusal of registration of the transfer of shares and the appellate remedy are provided
under Section 58 of the Companies Act, 2013. This provision had come into force at the relevant time.
Right to refuse registration of transfer on sufficient cause is a question of law and whether the cause
shown for refusal is sufficient or not in a given case, can be a mixed question of law and fact.
In the instant case, there is no resolution passed by the company refusing to register the transfer of
shares. Since the Company Law Board has gone into the contentions by the appellant for refusing to
register transfer for all purposes, it has to be taken that those contentions are the grounds taken by
the appellant for refusing to transfer the shares.
The appellant has taken several grounds in the memorandum of appeal and raised questions of law as
well on these aspects. No doubt, one of the main questions of law stressed in the appeal pertains to
the limitation. But on going through the several grounds taken in the Memorandum of Appeal and the
questions of law raised specifically in the appeal and the grounds, it is apparent that the appellant had
raised questions of law other than the question of law on limitation. Hence, the High Court has gone
wrong in its view in the order dated 15.10.2015 that “the only question of law sought to be urged in
the present appeal is as to whether the Company Law Board lacked authority in reviewing petition
under Section 5 of the Companies Act, 2013 beyond the period envisaged in sub-Section 4 thereof”.
Be that as it may, as we have been taken through the grounds before the Company Law Board, we
propose to consider the matter from that stage. The Company Law Board, it appears, was of the view
that the refusal to register the transfer of shares can be permitted only if the transfer is otherwise
illegal or impermissible under any law. Going by the expression “without sufficient cause” used
in Section 58(4), it is difficult to appreciate that view. Refusal can be on the ground of violation of law
or any other sufficient cause. Conflict of interest in a given situation can also be a cause. Whether the
same is sufficient in the facts and circumstances of a given case for refusal of registration, is for the
Company Law Board to decide since the aggrieved party is given the right to appeal. The contention of
the appellant before the Company Law Board that the whole transfer is deceptive and mala fide in the
background of the respondent company, should have been considered.
In that view of the matter, we do not think that we should go in further detail on the merits of the
contentions. The order passed by the Company Law Board and the orders passed by the High Court
are set aside. The matter is remitted to the Company Law Board, now the National Company Law
Tribunal for consideration afresh of the appeal filed under Section 58 of the Companies Act, 1956.
GENERAL LAWS
ASIAN RESURFACING OF ROAD AGENCY PVT. LTD & ANR v. CENTRAL BUREAU OF
INVESTIGATION [SC]
Criminal Appeal Nos. 1375-1376 of 2013 with batch of appeals.
A. K. Goel, Navin Sinha & R.F. Nariman, JJ. [Decided on 28/03/2018]
Principles of granting stay of lower court proceedings- should not exceed a period of 6
months- extension of stay should be by way of a speaking order- Supreme Court lays
down new guidelines.
Brief facts : Facts are immaterial to appreciate the ratio of this case. Whenever charges are framed,
the same is challenged before the High Court and stay used to be granted and the proceedings in the
trial court used to remain stayed for quite a long period. In this case the Hon’ble Supreme Court
examined the law extensively and laid down the rule as to the grant of stay and its operation both in
criminal as well as in civil proceedings.
Decision : Appeals disposed of.
Reason: Though the question referred relates to the issue whether order framing charges is an
interlocutory order, we have considered further question as to the approach tobe adopted by the High
Court in dealing with the challenge to theorder framing charge.
Thus, even though in dealing with different situations, seemingly conflicting observations may have
been made while holding that the order framing charge was interlocutory order and was not liable to
be interfered with under Section 397(2) or even under Section 482Cr.P.C. Order framing charge may
not be held to be purely a interlocutory order and can in a given situation be interfered with under
Section 397(2) Cr.P.C. or 482 Cr.P.C. or Article 227 of the Constitution which is a constitutional
provision but the power of the High Court to interfere with an order framing charge and to grant stay
is to be exercised only in an exceptional situation.
We have thus no hesitation in concluding that the High Court has jurisdiction in appropriate case to
consider the challenge against an order framing charge and also to grant stay but how such power is
to be exercised and when stay ought to be granted needs to be considered further.
It is well accepted that delay in a criminal trial, particularly in the Prevention of Corruption Act cases,
has deleterious effect on the administration of justice in which the society has a vital interest. Delay in
trials affects the faith in Rule of Law and efficacy of the legal system. It affects social welfare and
development. Even in civil or tax cases it has been laid down that power to grant stay has to be
exercised with restraint. Mere prima facie case is not enough. Party seeking stay must be put to terms
and stay should not be incentive to delay. The order granting stay must show application of mind. The
power to grant stay is coupled with accountability.
Wherever stay is granted, a speaking order must be passed showing that the case was of exceptional
nature and delay on account of stay will not prejudice the interest of speedy trial in a corruption case.
Once stay is granted, proceedings should not be adjourned and concluded within two-three months.
In view of above, situation of proceedings remaining pending for long on account of stay needs to be
remedied. Remedy is required not only for corruption cases but for all civil and criminal cases where
on account of stay, civil and criminal proceedings are held up. At times, proceedings are adjourned
sine die on account of stay. Even after stay is vacated, intimation is not received and proceedings are
not taken up. In an attempt to remedy this situation, we consider it appropriate to direct that in all
pending cases where stay against proceedings of a civil or criminal trial is operating, the same will
come to an end on expiry of six months from today unless in an exceptional case by a speaking order
such stay is extended. In cases where stay is granted in future, the same will end on expiry of six
months from the date of such order unless similar extension is granted by a speaking order. The
speaking order must show that the case was of such exceptional nature that continuing the stay was
more important than having the trial finalized. The trial Court where order of stay of civil or criminal
proceedings is produced, may fix a date not beyond six months of the order of stay so that on expiry of
period of stay, proceedings can commence unless order of extension of stay is produced.
Thus, we declare the law to be that order framing charge is not purely an interlocutory order nor a
final order. Jurisdiction of the High Court is not barred irrespective of the label of a petition, be it
under Sections 397 or 482 Cr.P.C. or Article 227 of the Constitution.
However, the said jurisdiction is to be exercised consistent with the legislative policy to ensure
expeditious disposal of a trial without the same being in any manner hampered. Thus considered, the
challenge to an order of charge should be entertained in a rarest of rare case only to correct a patent
error of jurisdiction and not to re-appreciate the matter. Even where such challenge is entertained
and stay is granted, the matter must be decided on day-to-day basis so that stay does not operate for
an unduly long period.
Though no mandatory time limit may be fixed, the decision may not exceed two-three months
normally. If it remains pending longer, duration of stay should not exceed six months, unless
extension is granted by a specific speaking order, as already indicated.
COMPETITION LAW
EXPRESS INDUSTRY COUNCIL OF INDIA v. JET AIRWAYS (INDIA) LTD. & ORS [CCI]
Case No. 30 of 2013
D. K. Sikri, Sudhir Mital, Augustine Peter & U. C. Nahta. [Decided on 07/03/2018]
Competition Act, 2002- section 3- anti competition agreement/conduct- concerted
action by airlines in charging fuel surcharge - whether results in cartel-Held, Yes.
Brief facts : It has been alleged in the information that in May 2008, certain domestic Airlines in India
connived to introduce a 'Fuel Surcharge' (FSC) for transporting cargo. This surcharge was fixed at a
uniform rate of Rs. 5/ Kg and came into force on May 15, 2008.It was further alleged that although
there does not appear to be any legal provision under which such FSC could have been levied by the
Airlines, the ostensible reason given was to mitigate the volatility of fuel prices. It has been further
stated that the very fact of levying FSC at a uniform rate from the same date itself constitutes an act of
cartelization covered under Section 3 of the Act. The said cartel of the Airlines is stated to be
continuing till date.
Decision : Cease and desist order passed. Penalty imposed.

Reason: The core issue was whether OPs have operated in concerted manner while fixing FSC and
thereby violated the provisions of Section 3(1) read with Section 3(3) of the Act?
The Commission notes that OPs have stated that each airline takes into account several factors to
determine FSC, yet by their own admissions, the reason provided by OPs for introduction of FSC was
'sharp volatility' in ATF prices. It appears that OPs, while trying to justify the changes in FSC, have
paid no heed to the purpose admitted by them for levying FSC and have now provided reasons which
go far beyond the avowed objective behind introduction of such a levy. In fact, from the reasons
adduced by OPs, Commission has no hesitation in holding that the very purpose of introduction of FSC
to cushion the volatility in ATF prices has been relegated to the margins long back and, instead, all
sorts of reasons have now been offered to explain the continuous and coordinated revisions in FSC by
the airlines. Thus, far from being a cushion to hedge the volatility in ATF prices, FSC has become a tool
to seek rent from the potential users of cargo services in the garb of various reasons which have
nothing to do with the stated objective.
There are also serious loopholes in the justifications provided by OPs. The OPs have associated
random factors to FSC prices, without having a systematic mechanism to arrive at these prices. For
example, it may be noted that OP-1 has explained that it was due to increase in ATF price coupled
with increase in dollar exchange rate, that FSC was increased. However, there have been instances
when the correlation between the ATF price and USD exchange rate vis-à-vis FSC rate has been
missing.
The Commission notes that each OP has stated various factors that determine FSC. Inspite of citing
diverse factors that determine the change in FSC, all OPs have increased FSC by the same amount. It is
difficult to comprehend as to how even after considering variety of factors determining the change in
FSC rates, all OPs could have reached a similar rate to affect an increase in FSC rates on various
occasions.
To sum up, the Airlines were unable to furnish any data/ calculation/methodology or costing of any
kind whatsoever in support of the determination of FSC rates. Even the authorized representatives of
OPs could not furnish the rationale for revision of FSC on certain occasions when questioned in front
of the DG. Merely providing factors which are not correlated to the FSC is a futile exercise conducted
by the OPs. This is unable to justify the concerted acts of the OPs.
It may be noted that a parallel conduct is legal only when the adaptation to the market conditions are
done independently and not on the basis of information exchanged between the competitors, the
object of which is to influence the market. One of the elements that indicates concerted action is the
exchange of information between the enterprises directly or indirectly. Price competition in a market
encourages an efficient supply of output/ services by companies. Any company is free to change/
revise its prices taking into consideration the foreseeable conduct of its competitors. That however is
not suggestive of the fact that it cooperates with the competitors. Such coordinated course of action
relating to a change of prices ensures its success by prior elimination of all uncertainty as to each
other's conduct regarding the essential elements of that action, such as the amount, subject-matter,
date, etc.
In view of the foregoing, it is opined that the OPs have acted in parallel and the only plausible reason
for increment of FSC rates by the airlines was collusion amongst them. Such a conduct has, in turn,
resulted into indirectly determining the rates of air cargo transport in terms of the provisions
contained in Section 3 (3)(a) of the Act.
As these OPs are engaged in similar business and are therefore operating at the same level of the
production chain, allegations of anti-competitive agreements, decisions or practices among them
squarely stand covered within the ambit of Section 3(3) read with Section 3(1) of the Act.
Applying the aforesaid legal test to the evidence detailed in the present case, the Commission is of the
considered view that OP-1, OP-2 and OP- 3 have acted in a concerted manner in fixing and revising the
FSC rates and thereby contravened the provisions of Section 3(1) read with Section 3(3) (a) of the Act.
The Commission, however, does not deem it appropriate to proceed against OP-4 and OP-5.
Based on the above discussion, the Commission is of that opinion that the impugned acts/ conduct of
OP-1, OP-2 and OP-3 are found to be in contravention of the provisions of Section 3(3) (a) read
with Section 3(1) of the Act. Accordingly, OP-1, OP-2 and OP-3 are directed to cease and desist from
indulging in the acts/ conduct which have been found to be in contravention of the provisions of the
Act.
The Commission, for the reasons recorded below, finds the present case fit for imposition of penalty
as well. Accordingly, the Commission imposes a sum of Rs. 39.81 crore on OP-1, Rs. 9.45 crore on OP-
2, Rs. 5.10 crore on OP-3 as penalties for their impugned conduct which has been held to be in
contravention of the provisions of Section 3(1) read with Section 3(3) (a) of the Act.

D. EXEMPTIONS AND SWITCHOVER
1. Clarification Regarding Paper wise Exemption
(a) Paperwise exemption is granted only on the basis of specific request received online
through website www.icsi.edu from a registered student and complying all the
requirements. There is one time payment of Rs. 1000/- (per subject).
(b) Last date of for submission of requests for exemption, complete in all respects, is
9thApril for June Session of examinations and 10th October for December session of
Examinations. Requests, if any, received after the said cut-off dates will be considered
for the purpose of subsequent sessions of examinations only. For example, if a student
requests for exemption(s) after 09th April 2018, even if he/she is eligible for such
exemption(s), the same will NOT be considered for the purpose of June 2018 Session of
Examinations.
(c) The paperwise exemption once granted holds good during the validity period of
registration or passing/completing the examination, whichever is earlier.
(d) Paper-wise exemptions based on scoring 60% marks in the examinations are being
granted to the students automatically and in case the students are not interested
in availing the exemption they may seek cancellation of the same by sending a formal
request through the Online facility available. For the purpose, please submit the Online
Request by logging into your account at https://smash.icsi.in<https://smash.icsi.in/>
15 days before commencement of examination.
If any student appears in the examinations disregarding the exemption granted on the
basis of 60% marks and shown in the Admit Card, the appearance will be treated as
valid and the exemption will be cancelled.
(e) It may be noted that candidates who apply for grant of paper wise exemption or seek
cancellation of paper wise exemption already granted, must see and ensure that the
exemption has been granted/cancelled accordingly. Candidates who would presume
automatic grant or cancellation of paper wise exemption without obtaining written
confirmation on time and absent themselves in any paper(s) of examination and/or
appear in the exempted paper(s) would do so at their own risk and responsibility and
the matter will be dealt with as per the above guidelines.
(f) Exemption once cancelled on request in writing shall not be granted again under any
circumstances.
(g) Candidates who have passed either module of the Executive/Professional examination
under the old syllabus shall be granted the paper wise exemption in the corresponding
subject(s) on switchover to the new/latest syllabus.
(h) No exemption fee is payable for availing paper wise exemption on the basis of
switchover or on the basis of securing 60% or more marks in previous sessions of
examinations.
2. Attention Students !!!

There is no provision for submitting the exemption at the time of submitting the
examination form.
If you have already been granted the exemption, it is reflected in your online account
Examination, Enrollment Status and Admit Card issued for examination through
online mode.
It may be noted that in some cases, the exemptions granted in accordance with the
various provisions contained under the regulations are inter-related with other
exemptions granted and cancellation (or appearance) in any one of the papers may
result in cancellation of exemptions in all the inter- related papers. For example, if a
candidate has been granted paper-wise exemptions in three papers on the basis of
scoring 60, 62, 58 & 10 Marks respectively in the four papers contained under
Module-I of Executive Programme in previous session and in case he/she appears or
cancels the exemption in any one out of the three exempted papers, all the three
exemptions shall be cancelled since the exemption criteria in this case is applicable
only if all the three papers are taken together. Candidates are, therefore, advised to be
extremely careful while seeking cancellation or while appearing in the exempted
papers, as the final result will be computed considering the actual marks scored on
reappearance and/ or the deemed absence in the papers as the case may be. In other
words, candidates appearing in the exempted papers despite an endorsement to the
effect in the Admit Card shall be doing so at their own risk and responsibility and the
Institute may not be held responsible for any eventuality which may arise at a later
date. In case of any doubt regarding the applicability of rules regarding the
exemptions, it would be better if the candidates seek prior clarifications from the
Institute by writing at [email protected] before appearing in the examination of
exempted subjects or seeking cancellation of exemptions granted.

6. Updation of Data
The Institute in its continuous endeavour to update technology is revamping all online
services. We are moving through a transition phase while implementing the flagship
online platform SMASH (Student Member Application Software Hosting).
With this, the data of all students registered under old system has been migrated to new
system and after this transition all students are compulsorily required to log in at the
new SMASH(Student Member Application Software Hosting) system.
Further after the migration process, it has been observed that the address of some of the
students are incorrect. It is therefore advised to update your address immediately.
In case you don’t update your correct address, you may miss important
communications, study material etc sent by the Institute by post.
Please follow the steps given below for updation of address:
1.) log into new system at https://smash.icsi.in/Scripts/login.aspx
2.) In case you have not logged in to SMASH before, reset your password at the
following link. https://smash.icsi.in/Scripts/GetPassword.aspx
3.) Go to your profile, click on change address
4.) Follow the process as per screen shot given below.

Further it is advised to ensure that your District, State, City mentioned in your address
database are in order.
6. Advisory on Maintaining Correctness in Photograph and Signature

7. Discontinuation of Public Private Partnership Scheme for Class Room Teaching
The Public Private Partnership Scheme for conducting Class Room Teaching has been
discontinued and presently no Centres are authorized to conduct the classes under the Scheme.
Students registering at these centres will be doing so at their own risk and responsibility.
Students are advised to approach the nearest Regional and Chapter Offices of the Institute for
availing the Class Room Teaching facility.
8. Discontinuation of Requirement of Coaching Completion Certificate
The requirement of coaching completion certificate has been discontinued. This would make
students eligible for enrolment to Executive / Professional Programme examinations after
expiry of six months or nine months as the case may be, from the date of registration to the
respective stage.
Henceforth, students of Executive Programme and Professional Programme are not required
to:
a) submit response sheets to test papers on various subjects to the Institute under Postal
Tuition Scheme, or
b) obtain coaching completion certificate from the Institute or from Class Room Teaching
Centres of the Institute, or
c) submit coaching completion certificate for enrollment to examinations of Executive and

Professional Programmes.
9. Revised Procedure for Effecting Change of Name in the Institute's

Records
In order to ensure uniformity in the procedure for effecting change of name on the basis of
specific requests from students, it has been decided that henceforth request for change of
name of students in the Institute's records would be accepted only on receipt/ submission
of either of the following documents : -
(i) Gazette Notification
(ii) Publication in Newspaper for change of name alongwith an Affidavit
(iii) Copy of Marriage Certificate (in case of Female candidates after marriage)
(iv) Copy of PAN Card / Aadhaar Card / DIN supporting change of name.
Students may send any such request at [email protected] alongwith the requisite supporting
documents as mentioned above while quoting their Registration Numbers. It may be further
noted that no request would be accepted without registration number.
10. ATTENTION STUDENTS !
Issue of Study Materials Compulsorily to All the Students

Registering for the CS Course
It is informed that henceforth the study materials will

be issued compulsorily to all students registering for
different stages of CS Course.
It has been decided to discontinue the system of
granting concession to the students of Executive/
Professional Programme Stages not opting for the study materials at the time of
registration.
11. Soft Copy of Executive Programme Study Material
The Institute of Company Secretaries of India with its ever evolving educational structure aims
to incorporate each single development in every arena of corporate activity concerning this
brigade of professionals to make them truly live up to the meaning of ‘intellectuals’.The
Company Secretaryship Course intends to inculcate in its students and more so the professionals
of tomorrow with the right amount of knowledge, skill and training to render them fit in every
possible environment facing the corporate arena. Understanding the significance of knowledge
in any professional course, especially one of the stature of this one, the Team ICSI has covered
lengths and breadths in developing an apt Study material sustaining the needs of the dynamics
of Indian corporates and the structure of the New Syllabus of 2017. The study material so
developed has been strengthened with deliberations with not just Company Secretaries but
Industry Experts and other professionals with a wide spectrum of acquaintance with the needs
and requirements of the companies in the Indian Mainland.
The study material for the subjects of Executive Programme under New Syllabus has been
uploaded on the ICSI website for the benefit of the students at the link:
https://www.icsi.edu/AcademicCorner/StudyMaterialNewSyllabus2017.aspx

requirements are not eligible to appear in the Executive Programme examinations. In case
any candidate manages to appear in the examinations without complying with the said
requirement, the appearance and/or the result are liable to be cancelled.
8. Candidates are advised to locate and visit the venue of the examination centre beforehand
to avoid any inconvenience on the day of the examination.
9. Candidates will be allowed to enter into the Examination Hall 15 minutes before the time
specified for the commencement of each examination and occupy their allotted seats in
Examination Hall. No candidate shall be allowed to enter into the Examination Hall after
the expiry of half-an-hour of the commencement of examination and no candidate
shall be permitted to leave the Examination Hall until the expiry of one hour after the
commencement of examination.
10. The seating arrangements of the candidates shall be displayed on the notice board at the
entrance of the examination centre. Candidates will find their roll numbers written against
the seats allotted to them at the examination hall/ room. They should occupy their allotted
seats only.
11. In case before the examination or during the currency of examination, any situation arises,
due to which special seating arrangement is required to be made on medical grounds, such
candidate may submit his/her application to Joint Secretary, Directorate of Examination
along with copies of supporting documents for consideration. No facility including special
seating arrangement shall be granted by the examination centre without permission from
the Institute.
12. Candidates are not required to appear in the paper(s) in which they have been
granted paper-wise exemption as shown in the Admit Card as well as the Attendance
Sheet. The exemption(s) as appearing in the Admit Card should match with the
exemption(s) as shown in the Attendance Sheet. In case of any discrepancy in regard to
paper-wise exemption(s) shown in the Admit Card and/or any mismatch with the
exemption(s) as appearing in the Attendance Sheet, it should immediately be brought to
the notice of the Superintendent of Examination Centre and the Directorate of Student
Services of the Institute in writing through e-mail at : [email protected] or at Telephone
Number No. 0120-3314111, 0120-6204999 for necessary clarification and confirmation.
However, exemption in any paper(s) of examination should not be assumed unless
confirmed in writing by the Institute.
13. The paper-wise exemption in any paper(s) of the examination, once sought by the
candidate and granted by the Institute remains valid and is printed in his/her Admit
Card (Roll No.) and taken on record for computation of his/her results unless it is
cancelled by the student by submitting a formal request to the Institute at the online
portal https://smash.icsi.in after logging into the individual accounts of the students.
Exemption once cancelled on student’s request shall not be revived subsequently
under any circumstances. Candidates fulfilling the eligibility conditions under 60%
Marks Criteria have been granted exemption(s) in the respective papers and such
exemption(s) has/have been shown in the Admit Card as well as the Attendance
Sheet. The status of available exemptions is also available in the individual accounts
of the students at: https://smash.icsi.in . Further, if such candidates appear in any
paper disregarding the exemption granted as shown in the Admit Card, the
exemption will be cancelled by the Institute without notice and shall not be revived
under any circumstances.
14. It is reiterated that the paper-wise exemptions granted to the students are cancelled
on submission of a formal request to the Institute at the online portal
https://smash.icsi.in and also in the event of reappearance in the respective papers
by the students despite an endorsement reflecting the exemption granted in the
Admit Card.
15. It may be noted that in some cases, the exemptions granted in accordance with the
various provisions contained under the Regulations are inter-related with other
exemptions granted and cancellation (or appearance) in any one of the papers may
result in cancellation of exemptions in all the inter-related papers. For example, if a
candidate has been granted paper-wise exemptions in three papers on the basis of
scoring 64, 59, 57 & 10 marks respectively in the four papers contained under
Module-I of Executive Programme in previous session and in case he/she appears or
cancels the exemption in any one out of the three exempted papers having scored
60% marks in aggregate, all the three exemptions shall be cancelled since the
exemption criteria in this case is applicable only if all the three papers are taken
together. Such guidelines are equally applicable for the students of Professional
Programme also. Candidates are, therefore, advised to be extremely careful while
seeking cancellation or while appearing in the exempted papers, as the final result
will be computed considering the actual marks scored on reappearance and/or
the deemed absence in the papers as the case may be. In other words, candidates
appearing in the exempted papers despite an endorsement to the effect in the Admit
Card shall be doing so at their own risk and responsibility and the Institute may not
be held responsible for any eventuality which may arise at a later date. In case of any
doubt regarding the applicability of rules regarding the exemptions, students should
invariably seek prior clarifications from the Institute by writing at
[email protected] before deciding on their own to appear in the examination of
exempted subjects or seeking cancellation of exemptions granted.
16. Candidates who have switched over from Professional Programme 2007 (Old) Syllabus to
Professional Programme 2012 (New) Syllabus, have been granted additional paper-wise
exemptions in Information Technology and Systems Audit Paper and/or Elective Subject(s)
as the case may be, according to eligibility conditions defined under the modified
switchover scheme. Wherever particular module(s) have been exempted on the basis of
granting exemptions as per the modified switchover scheme, the combination of Module(s)
in respect of candidates concerned have been suitably modified and the candidates are
advised to immediately point out discrepancies, if any.
17. If any candidate appears at a centre other than the centre indicated in his/her Admit Card,
the answer book(s) of such a candidate is liable to be cancelled.
18. The medium of writing the examination for Executive Programme and Professional
Programme is English or Hindi as per the option exercised by the candidate and as
