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(Ordinance No. 3 of 2022) is hereby repealed.
(2) Notwithstanding such repeal, anything
done or any action taken under the Goa
Municipalities Act, 1968 (Act 7 of 1969) as
amended by the said Ordinance, shall be
deemed to have been done or taken under
the principal Act, as amended by this Act.
Statement of Objects and Reasons
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 insert 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.
The Bill also seeks to repeal the Goa
Municipalities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2022
(Ordinance No. 3 of 2022) promulgated by
the Hon’ble Governor of Goa on 06-10-2022.

Act, a person who has been redered disqualified

Statement of Objects and Reasons

referred to as the “Said Act”) so as to allow
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES I No. 43
(SUPPLEMENT No. 2)
28TH JANUARY, 2023
1484
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.
