The CFA Society India recently published the second edition of The Investor's Guide to Shareholder Meetings in India. As investors, even though we hold stocks of various companies, we rarely think about our rights. Investors also rarely realize that by virtue of the shares they hold, they are entitled to voting rights in a company. It's a chance for them to question the management and engage with them so that they aren't taken for granted as minority shareholders. So we caught up with Sivananth Ramachandran, CFA, Director of Capital Markets Policy (India) and Amit Tandon, Founder and Managing Director, IiAS, who worked on the report to talk about: The objective behind publishing the report Shareholder meetings post-COVID Basics of shareholder meetings Why don't retail investors attend these meetings Evolution of corporate governance in India Do the votes of retail investors count? Things to look for when analysing shareholder proposals put forth by companies ESG investing and the role of shareholders Shareholder activism and ESG Shareholder meetings in India vs other countries and a whole lot more. Please enjoy this conversation with Sivananth and Amit. Here's the link to the An Investor's Guide to Shareholder Meetings in India. If you have any questions about shareholder meetings and shareholder rights, do post them here on TradingQnA.

In this episode we talk to Ingrid Srinath, Director of the Centre for Social Impact & Philanthropy at Ashoka University about philanthropy and civil society in India and the impact of new restrictions have come in as part of the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act 2020 (FCRA 2020). (Disclaimer: the views expressed are Ingrid’s own and do not necessarily reflect those of her employer, or of CAF). We discussed: The FCRA 2020 What is the FCRA 2020? Why are CSOs in India concerned about the impact it will have? How much existing funding will be affected by the new rules? What is the rationale from government? Does this stand up to scrutiny? Has the Covid-19 pandemic played any role in precipitating this move on the part of the Indian government? What is the rationale for prohibiting onward granting? Why is this a particular cause for concern? Will this particularly harm smaller organisations and less poplar causes? As part of the new FCRA the Indian government has stipulated that no more than 20% of a foreign contribution can be spent on “administrative expenses”. How are these defined? What is the rationale for this? Will this new limitation on administrative expenses make it harder to invest in infrastructure, digital capabilities, governance etc.? The new law also requires CSOs in receipt of FCRA funds to do so in a dedicated bank account at a New Delhi branch of the State Bank of India- what is the rationale for this?   The wider context for Civil Society & Philanthropy in India What is the overall makeup of the Indian civil society sector, in terms of formalised vs informal orgs, large vs small, different cause areas etc.? What is the attitude of the Indian government towards civil society in general? What is the attitude towards CSO advocacy and campaigning? How has the Covid pandemic affected Indian civil society? What is the infrastructure for civil society in India like? Are there gaps, and if so where? What is the history and current context for philanthropy in India? E.g. how much HNWI giving is there? How much mass market giving? What role does corporate philanthropy play? What role do foundations play? What kind of domestic causes receive philanthropic funding in India? What is the attitude of the Indian government towards philanthropy? What is the attitude of the Indian public towards philanthropy? What kind of philanthropic responses to the covid-19 crisis have we seen in India? Do recent critiques of philanthropy in the US and elsewhere resonate in the Indian context? (E.g. re that philanthropy exacerbates inequality, that it is anti-democratic, that some source of wealth are “tainted” etc.).   Related links: Ingrid’s blog on “How the Proposed FCRA Amendments Hurt India’s Development and Democracy” Times of India interview with Ingrid, “FCRA Law could dry up money for less popular causes, shut smaller NGOs down” Ingrid’s article with Smarinita Shetty for Alliance Magazine, “Bleak prognosis for Indian civil society following new foreign funding bill” Ingrid on Twitter CAF India briefing on FCRA 2020 CAF America’s recent webinar on “India’s Amended Foreign Contribution Regulations: What You Need to Know” CAF’s 2019 India Giving report CAF’s 2017 paper Do As I Say, Not As I Do: UK Policy & The Global Closing Space for Civil Society The Council on Foundations (US) latest guidance on FCRA and funding in India for US organisations
