Friends, Sad demise of Dr R M Vatnal is untimely and unfortunate. He was instrumental in enhancing and establishing the IT infrastructure at Karnatak University Library, Dharwad. He played a major role in enhancing the IT infrastructure at KUD campus and first to introduce assistive technologies for differently abled.

Srinivasan Managing Director, Kengs India Pvt Ltd, Chennai on Monday, 28th Nov 2016 at 6.00 p.m. at Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai – 600113 (Situated in the opposite lane to Indira Nagar MRTS Railway Station. About 100 meters away from the Dharmambal Women’s Polytechnic & Opposite to the Inst. of Mathematical Sciences and Inst. of Hotel Management) Dr. B. Srinivasan, Chairman, CSI Chennai Chapter Dr. P. Sakthivel, Chairman, IEEE CS Madras Chapter Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE PCS Madras Chapter Mr. S. Sundaresh, Chairman, IEEE TEMS Madras Chapter Programme ========= 6.00 p.m. : Tea & Fellowship 6.30 p.m. : Presentation cum demo 7.45 p.m. : Dinner About the Presentation ================== Even though the PC and its variations are there for more than three decades, the school classrooms are yet to see technology being used by teachers. The so-called Smart-Class and Smart-Board gadgets have not provided solutions to teachers, because of the complexity of devices, cost, skills required, security, operational issues, power problems, content issues etc., to name a few. First a software approach that is teacher-friendly has to be designed for teachers to create their own content and then a system for teachers to exchange/sell their content is needed. This was done with the funding from Govt of India as an innovator thru VIT Incubation Centre. Then a device at an affordable cost has to be designed and made available to present these contents in a classroom. The above two are combined into an intuitive teaching solution that can operate on a battery, with teachers using a remote to go through the teacher guide or book to teach in a classroom without any need to write/draw many times across classes over a period. The speaker, in the presentation, will share his experience in conceptualizing and executing this project and getting investors to fund. About the Speaker =============== Mr. Srinivasan is an alumnus of College of Engineering, Guindy (BE, ECE) and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (ME). After his stint in IT industry working with leading organizations such as TCS, TBL, IDM and CMC for over a decade, in 1986, he started and runs successfully till date, his own business -- Kengs India Pvt Ltd – a global leader in software engineering for education, services and outsourcing solutions. He had worked for few years in US Coast Guard, and on projects in UAE, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan. And had visited countries such as Mexico, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Taiwan on assignments and business. In his career and business, Mr. Srinivasan has worked from unit recorder -- IBM 1620 to latest Android applications.

Tax Obligations of Libraries on the Subscriptions/Purchase of e-Journals & e-Books
by Sathyanarayana NV 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

E-Content (e-books & e-Journals) delivered online by Indian companies and received online by Indian libraries has been under the levy of service tax for several years now. This service is covered under the nomenclature “Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval (OIDAR)”. However, the OIDAR service provided by foreign companies was kept outside the levy of service tax until now. Organizations administered by Government, Local Authority, or Government Authority and individuals were exempted from service tax on import of any services including OIDAR from foreign entities. This exemption is removed now. Amendments issued recently by the Service Tax Department through a set of four notifications 46/2016-ST, 47/2016-ST, 48/2016-ST and 49/2016-ST dated 9th November 2016 has resulted in the withdrawal of exemption. Effective 1st December 2016 all purchases/subscriptions for e-books/e-journals/databases by persons and organizations in India, whether offered by an Indian entity or a foreign entity, and irrespective of the place it is offered from, will attract service tax at the current rate of 15%. This will no-doubt increase the burden of already strained budget of our libraries. But, it will bring the OIDAR services offered by Indian companies and foreign companies on parity for taxation. Purely from the Government’s taxation benefit perspective, foreign companies too will have to pay tax to Indian Government when they do business with Indian organizations. Content and language of the amendments issued through a set of notifications mentioned above and other related amendments to various provisions of Service tax rules are quite complex for non-tax professionals like us to understand and interpret easily. For this reason, we have requested our tax consultants to prepare a note on these amendments in a simple language which will be posted on our Company website soon. The e-content purchase by libraries whether from local providers/vendors or foreign providers/vendors will now attract two types of taxes: 1. Service tax at 15% 2. TDS at 10% (The library is expected to deduct this amount and pay the income tax authorities which can be re-claimed by the suppliers of e-books/e-journals from their respective Governments while filing tax returns. We at Informatics have been quite vocal about the need for strict compliance of the laws of the land by both suppliers and receivers of the goods & services as applicable from time to time. We will be happy to assist libraries in the process of understanding the procedural requirements involved with the compliance of tax laws as applicable to e-content purchased by libraries. *|*N. V.
