    India: Demonetisation of high currency notes in India
    With almost INR 14 million ($205,000) worth of INR 500 and INR 1,000 notes in circulation, this is so far probably the single biggest effort to root out black money and to curb fake currency and corruption.

    India: Tax amortisation of goodwill
    In India, intangibles that qualify for depreciation under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act) are defined to include "know-how, patents, copyrights, trademarks, licenses, franchises and any other business or commercial rights of similar nature". Since "goodwill" does not expressly find a mention in the list of intangible assets that qualify for depreciation, claims of depreciation on goodwill have been a matter of debate for a considerable time with decisions on both sides of the spectrum.

    India: Recent notable advance rulings in India
    A scheme of obtaining advance rulings has been in place in India since the early 1990s to help taxpayers better plan their affairs and to help prevent long and expensive litigation. Although this is a useful tool, there have been practical challenges and delays in obtaining advance rulings over the last few years. As a result, rulings which are required to be issued within six months are taking more than four years.
