 Trademarks Act, 1999
o Trademark rights in India are statutorily protected by the Trademark Act, 1999and
also under the common law remedy of passing off. The administration of such
protection under the Act is done by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and
Trademarks. The Trademark Act, 1999 deals with the protection, registration and
prevention of fraudulent use of trademarks. It also deals with the rights of the
holder of the trademark, penalties for infringement, remedies for the damaged as
well as modes of transference of the trademark.
o To apply for a trademark a person must adhere to the provisions enlisted under
Section 18 of the Act. The Section requires any persons applying for a trademark
to apply in writing in the manner that is prescribed for the registration. The
application has to contain the name of the mark, goods and services, the class
under which goods and services fall, the period of the use of the mark and the
personal details of the applicant such as name and address. 
o Section 7 of the Trademark Act, 1999 requires the classification of trademark
according to the international classification of goods and services. There are a
total of 45 classes goods and services may fall under in such a classification.

8
o According to Section 134(1) of the Trademarks Act, subordinate courts – which
have jurisdiction over other commercial matters – do not have jurisdiction over
cases of infringement or passing off. Hence, only district courts and high courts
exercising ordinary original civil jurisdiction can decide on such matters.
o In addition, the territorial jurisdiction of a court is determined on the basis of
where the infringement took place or where the parties are based. Thus, Section
20 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that civil suits are to be heard where
the defendant carries on business or where the cause of action arises, wholly or in
part. However, Section 134(2) of the Trademarks Act allows a rights holder to
sue instead at a place where it carries on business.
o Process for Trademark Registration in India-
 Step 1- Trademark Search
 Step 2- Filing Trademark Application in India
 Step 3- Trademark Examination
 Step 4- Trademark Publication
 Step 5- Registration Certificate

of goods and services which are hazardous to life and property, (ii) be informed of
the quality, quantity, potency, purity, standard and price of goods or services, (iii)
be assured of access to a variety of goods or services at competitive prices, and
(iv) to seek redressal against unfair or restrictive trade practices.
o The Act provides for establishment of Consumer Protection Councils at
Centre, State and District levels. The purpose of these Councils is to review
consumer related policies of the government and suggest measures for further
improvements for protecting and promoting rights of the consumers. The
composition of these councils is broad based. The Minister Incharge of Consumer
Affairs in the Centre is the Chairman of the Central Consumer Protection Council
and it has other official and non-official members. The State Consumer Protection
Council is headed by Minister In-charge of Consumer Affairs in the State and the
District Consumer Protection Council is headed by the Collector of the District.
These Councils are advisory in nature and their object is to protect the rights of
the consumers enshrined under the Act.
o If defects in the manufacture, construction, design, testing, service marketing etc.
of a product results in any personal injury or property damage to a consumer, the
manufacturer is liable in a product liability action.
o The Act provides for a three tier Consumer Disputes Redressal Agencies.

9
Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at the state level and the National
Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at the national level.

members out of which one is President who has been qualified to be a
District Judge. Also, one of the members shall be a woman. It entertains
complaints where the value is up to Rs.20 lakhs.
 State Commission- Each state has one State Commission which also

regulatory council established in 1985 to promote responsible advertising and to
enhance public confidence in advertisements.
o The advertising of medicines is controlled by the code of ethics framed by the
Indian Board of Alternative Medicines and is as follows, among others-
 A practitioner should not attempt to advertise him or herself in any way
except by the legitimate means of proficiency in his or her work and by
skill and success in his or her practice.
 A medical journal advertisement must be as simple and direct as possible.
Every advertisement shall be ‘run on’, without spacing and without
display. The type shall be that ordinarily used for articles.
o The primary regulatory body responsible for issuing advertising regulations and
enforcing rules on advertising is the ASCI.
o In addition to the ASCI, courts can be approached on issues of consumer
interest, disparagement, false claims, intellectual property violations or moral
grounds.
o Courts have a judicial role and their orders are binding, while the ASCI is more
akin to a regulator that would recommend alterations or amendments to, or the
removal of, adverts, but would not, for example, pass any damages or injunction
relief or rendition of accounts.
o The scope of powers of the ASCI has been enhanced. It has been given the power
to adjudicate upon matters concerning infringement and passing-off in an

Finance

Job Description : Finance Manager

Finance involves the evaluation, disclosure, and management of economic activity and is crucial
to the successful and efficient operation of firms and markets.

As a Financial manager I must ensure the financial health of an organization through investment
activities and long-term financing strategies.

My functions are :-

1. Estimating the Amount of Capital Required:

This is the most important part of my job. A business requires capital to

a) Purchase fixed assets like buying land for future use

b) meeting working capital requirements. For ex: payments to suppliers.

c) Modernization and expansion of business .For ex- setting up a new factory

I need to make estimate of the finds required not only for short term goals but also long term
ones. A good financial manager always keeps long term goals in mind

2.Determinig Capital Structure

Once I have determined the requirement of capital funds, I have to take decision regarding the
kind and proportion of various sources of funds. There are multiple sources from which funds
can be arranged like equity, debt etc. Each method has its pros and cons. It is my responsibility
to ensure the lowest cost of capital. For this a mix of equity and debt and short-term and long-
term debt ratio. This is done to achieve minimum cost of capital and maximize shareholders
wealth.

3. Choice of Sources of Funds:

I need to decide the sources from which these funds can be arranged. I can raise finance from
various sources like equity shareholders, preference shareholders, debenture- holders, banks and
other financial institutions, public deposits, etc.

55
4. Procurement of Funds:

Next I need to take steps to procure the funds required for business. It might require negotiation
with creditors and financial institutions, issue of prospectus, etc.

5. Utilization of Funds:

Utilization of funds as soon as they are procured is important as there is a cost associated with
each capital so obtained and it increases over time. I need to maximize the return on investment:

6. Disposal of Profits or Surplus:

Once the final balance sheets has been made I need to take a decision on retained earnings and
how much to distribute as dividend to shareholders out of the profits of the company. A lot of
factors like previous trends, market conditions etc. need to be kept in mind. The shareholders
must be kept happy.

7. Management of Cash:

Current assets are an important part of liquidity. Management of these is also under my purview.
I need to forecast the cash inflows and outflows. Careful consideration needs to be taken as
neither shortage nor surplus is good for the company. If there is a shortage of cash then we wont
be able to pay our workers or suppliers. Surplus of cash is also a loss as we are loosing interest

8. Financial Control:

Every year I have to roll our yearly report which assess the year's operations and discuss the
companies' view of the upcoming year and the companies' place and prospects. ROI is an overall
measure which most financial managers use for evaluation. Evaluation of financial performance
is important for my company’s viability.

Compliances, Licenses Permission, NOCs from Statutory Bodies:

1.Companies (Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS)) Rules 2015

These are accounting standards which have been made to harmonize with the IFRS which is the
global standard, keeping the Indian scenario in mind. Since my company has an international
reach, it allows us to ensure compliance at a global level
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), in 2015, had notified the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards (IND AS)) Rules 2015, which stipulated the adoption and applicability of
IND AS in a phased manner beginning from the Accounting period 2016-17. The MCA has since
issued three Amendment Rules, one each in year 2016, 2017, and 2018 to amend the 2015 rules.
Mandatory applicability of IND AS to all companies from 1st April 2016, provided:  

 It is a listed or unlisted company


 Its Net worth is greater than or equal to Rs. 500 crore*

Since my company has a turnover of 2000 crores we need to mandatorily follow IND AS .
Preparation of Opening Ind AS Balance Sheet

On the date of transition to Ind AS, an entity shall prepare and present an opening Ind AS
Balance Sheet. This is the starting point for it’s accounting according to Ind AS subject to
requirements of Ind AS.
Except for restrictions spelt out in the AS, an entity must in its Opening Ind AS Balance sheet:

 recognise all assets and liabilities for which recognition is required by Ind AS
 derecognise items as assets and liabilities if Ind AS does not permit such recognition.
 if the Ind AS requires a particular asset, liability or component of equity to be recognised
differently from its previous recognition under GAAP, then reclassify it.
 apply Ind AS in measuring all recognised assets and liabilities.

To ensure that we have complied with the IND AS standards we need to hire an external auditor
who is a Chartered accountant holding a certificate of practice in India and is qualified to be a
statutory auditor .

If any discrepancy is found during the audit the auditor reports it to the relevant authority like
Ministry of corporate affairs or the Income tac Dept etc. Then the department sends a notice to
my company and starts an investigation. It is my responsibility to ensure compliance with the
notice and ensure further compliance.
