Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited charging the Government Re 1 as disinvestment advisory for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL



Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited charging the Government Re 1 as disinvestment advisory for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) has not gone down well with the investment banking community.
"Deloitte charging Re 1 is not a healthy competition. Regulator should not allow such low bids," said an investment banker on condition of anonymity. Investment bankers said that the regulator must put a minimum cap on the advisory fee.
Deloitte is helping the government sell its stake in BPCL. According to media reports, SBI Caps was the second-lowest bidder, quoting Rs 15-17 crore.
Deloitte declined to comment on the story. 
This is not the first time such aggressive bidding has been done by an investment bank. Deloitte had quoted a similar price for its services in the divestment process of Container Corporation of India (CONCOR).
JM Financial had charged Re 1 for ONGC's purchase of the government's 51.11 percent stake Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL).
The trend of financial advisers quoting low prices began with the listing of Coal India on the stock exchanges roughly a decade ago. The advisers were paid only Rs 1,500.
Why Re 1 fee?
Bankers told Moneycontrol that the Re 1 pricing has nothing to do with any tangible measure, but has been determined by 'other factors.'
"Such low bids of Re 1 is largely done for goodwill and since it was a government deal it adds value to company's profile," another investment banker said.
Generally, consultation fees varies from sector to sector and company to company.
However, investment bankers said the only tangible measure for fixing fees for large deals is decided based on the expected time spent on the deal, calculated on hourly basis.
"Fee quotations/pricing for contracts of such large nature by

GST: Here’s what to do if your e-Way bill generation is blocked for tax defaults

The government has introduced an important change around the e-way bill generation with an aim to crack down on GST non-filers and evaders. With effect from December 2, 2019, the blocking and unblocking of the e-way bill generation facility has been implemented on the e-way bill portal. E-way bill generation has been barred for taxpayers who haven’t filed their returns for the previous two consecutive months. 

What is the intention of blocking e-way bill generation for taxpayers? 
As per GSTN data, around 20.75 lakh GSTINs have not filed their GSTR-3B for September and October months. Also, out of these 20.75 lakh GSTINs, around 3.47 lakh GSTINs (16.7%) had transactions for September and October 2019 in the e-way bill system. Considering the rise in the number of tax defaulters, their ability to generate e-way bill had to be blocked. The tax department is of the view that non-filing of returns has been the primary reason for the decline in the GST revenue collection. 

How will blocking of e-way bill generation work? 
Every taxpayer who is registered under GST must file GSTR-3B, on a monthly basis. GSTR-3B has details of sales and purchases made by a business and the final tax payable after claiming input credit. 

As per the new rule, when a taxpayer fails to file his or her GST returns (GSTR-3B) for two continuous months, he or she will get blocked from generating an e-way bill. A GSTIN which is blocked cannot be used for generating an e-way bill either as a consignor or consignee. 

For example, if a taxpayer has not filed his GSTR-3B return for September and
