Good news for Libraries - No TDS on e-resources henceforth - Supreme Court Final Judgement
by Francis Jayakanth 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Dear Members, Forwarding an important message from Mr. N.V. Sathyanarayan, CMD, Informatics India. ________________________________ From: Sathyanarayana NV <sathya(a)informaticsglobal.com> Sent: 04 March 2021 13:06 To: Francis Jayakanth <francis(a)iisc.ac.in> Subject: Good news for Libraries - No TDS on e-resources henceforth - Supreme Court Final Judgement External Email Dear LIS Professionals In a judgement dated 2nd March 2021, the Supreme Court of India has ruled that buyers of software products/services and all such copyrighted materials (which will include e-Content such as databases, e-books and e-Journals, etc.) need not deduct TDS. As most of you may be aware, in the budget of 2011-12, the Indian Government had amended Section 9(1) (vi) of Income Tax Act leading to deduction tax at source (TDS) for all copyrighted digital material by – (a) the institutional buyers while paying for the purchase or subscription to e-resources like e-books and e-journals. (b) the agents/distributors while paying to their publishers for such e-resources. This had caused severe hardship to both libraries and distributors/agents, particularly on import of e-resources. Due to this unfortunate situation our Company (Informatics) had to stop taking orders for the purchase of or subscription to e-resource from foreign suppliers as most of the foreign publishers were reluctant to let us apply TDS as per the amended Indian Government’s laws beginning 2012. From now on this bad law will be a history. For recent news on this judgement please visit: https://www.timesnownews.com/business-economy/companies/article/payments-ma… Copy of this 226-page judgement is available for download at: https://itatonline.org/archives/wp-content/uploads/Engineering-Analysis-Sof… N. V. Sathyanarayana | Chairman & Managing Director | Informatics India Ltd. | Bangalore 560004 |INDIA | | www.informaticsglobal.com<http://www.informaticsglobal.com> |

SOP for Library Committee
by Dr. Pradip Das 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Dear library professional friends, I have the following doubts. Your kind help could make me more strong in our field. 1. Do we have to maintain any separate SOP for the Library Committee. We have SOP for the library. However, our internal auditors are advising me to make a separate SOP for the Library Committee. If you have please share with me at :pradipbhadreswardas@gmail.com 2. In case of collection development we are deciding the collection in accordance with the number of students in section/division. According to AICTE rules a section may have 60 students. However, if we have less than 60 students, should we not consider that section as a section or division? Or in that case we have to divide the total number of students admitted in a year by 60 (E.g if total Number of students = 600 then the section will be 10) -- *Regards **……* _______________________________________________ * Dr. Pradip Das* *Ph.
