Statement of Objects and Reasons

The Appropriation Acts enacted from the year 1964 till the financial year 2019-2020, in reality have lost their significance but are still shown on the Statute Books. The repealing of Appropriation Acts whose terms have ended will in no way cause any negative impact on actions that were validly taken under those Acts. However, it will serve the purpose of clearing the statute Book and reducing the burden and help in progress of the State. These Laws have become either irrelevant or dysfunctional and importantly have served their purpose and outlived their utility. The Bill therefore seeks to repeal 250 Appropriation Acts enacted from the year 1964 till the financial year 2019- 2020.

This Bill seeks to achieve the above objects.

The Goa Municipalities (Amendment) Bill, 2023

(Bill No. 5 of 2023)

A

BILL

further to amend the Goa Municipalities Act,

1968 (Act 7 of 1969).

Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of Goa in the Seventy–third Year of the Republic of India as follows:—

1. Short title and commencement.— (1) This Act may be called the Goa Municipalities (Amendment) Act, 2023.

(2) It shall be deemed to have come into

force on the 6th day of October, 2022.

2. Amendment of section 52.— In section 52 of the Goa Municipalities Act, 1968 (Act 7 of 1969), in sub-section (3), after the existing proviso, the following proviso shall be inserted, namely:—

"Provided further that notwithstanding

anything contained in this Act or the rules

made thereunder, the election of a

Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson shall

be taken by show of hands.".

3. Repeal and Savings.— (1) The Goa

Municipalities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022

(Ordinance No. 3 of 2022) is hereby repealed.

Municipalities Act, 1968 (Act 7 of 1969) as

amended by the said Ordinance, shall be

As the requisition of special meeting for

removal of Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson

shall be signed by majority of the total

number of Councillors and further removal of

the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson

requires passing of resolution by majority of

the Councillors, the requirement of a secret

ballot becomes a futile exercise and leaves a

tremendous scope for discrepancies and

undue influence on the councillors by vested

interests while casting their votes. Hence, the

Bill seeks to inser t second proviso to sub-section (3) of section 52 of the Goa Municipalities Act, 1968 (Act 7 of 1969) so

that the election of Chairperson or

Vice-Chairperson is held by show of

hands.

Statement of Objects and Reasons

The Bill seeks to insert sub-section (2C) in section 10 of the Goa Value Added Tax Act, 2005 (Goa Act 9 of 2005) (hereinafter referred to as the "Said Act") so as to allow1483 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES I No. 43 (SUPPLEMENT No. 2) 28TH JANUARY, 2023 refund of excess input tax credit upto the year ending the 31st day of March, 2017, to

such class of specified dealer where excess

tax credit is determined as result of an order

of specified Authorities or assessment or

reassessment is consequent to an Order of

specified authorities, subject to certain

conditions.

The Bill further seeks to amend sub- sections (4) and (10) of section 18 of the said

Act so as to dispense with the requirement

of renewal of registration. It further seeks to

provide the benefit of valid registration to

dealers who have failed to renew the

registration on its expiry from 01st April, 2017.

It also seeks to mandate declaration of

Permanent Account Number, mobile number,

e-mail address in application for registration.

The Bill also seeks to amend sub-section (11) thereof to specify criteria for cancellation

of certificate of registration from the date

specified in the Order.

The Bill also seeks to insert a new section

69A in the said Act so as to empower the

Government to extend time limit in special

circumstances.

This Bill seeks to achieve the above

objects.

Financial Memorandum

The proposed Goa Value Added Tax

(Amendment) Bill, 2023 does not involve any

recurring or non-recurring expenditure from

the Consolidated Fund of the State.

However, the proposed Bill seeks to do

away with the requirement of periodic

renewal of registration under the Goa Value

Added Tax Act, 2005, (Goa Act 9 of 2005)

thus the Government will have to forego an

annual revenue of approximately Rs 70.00

Lakhs.

Memorandum Regarding Delegated Legislation

Clause 2 of the Bill empowers the Government to frame rules for grant of refund

on account of excess input tax credit for any

year upto the year ending on 31st day of

March, 2017.

Clause 3 of the Bill empowers the Government to frame rules for specifying the manner in which validation of Permanent Account Number, mobile number and e-mail address declared in the application for registration to be done and also for specifying the amount of fee and the time and manner of depositing the same.

Clause 4 of the Bill empowers the Government to issue notification to extend time limit in special circumstances.

These delegations are of normal character.
