2. There might exist a plethora of literature on the subject of Corporate


Governance, it has been often seen that Indian corporate houses often follow the
codes on corporate governance in letter but not in sprit. The conversation will be
incomplete without discussing the role of regulators in India. While the Listing
Agreement is administered by the respective stock exchanges, certain other
bodies like MCA, SEBI, ICAI etc. also plays a very critical role in implementing
the governance standards. The post-1991 economic liberalization brought about
concomitant increase in governance standards as investors confidence increased
and foreign investors/institutional investors replaced banks and major project
financers. Corporate governance is often seen as a compliance-driven exercise,
which means companies do the bare minimum to stay outside the regulators
radar. Thus, it becomes crucial for the corporate and the stakeholders in India to
understand the rationale behind corporate governance principles, the adequate
mechanism to implement the same and the loopholes in the law which may be
exploited by the companies and the appurtenant benefits which accrue to
companies that have a sound system of governance in place.

the regulating bodies in India. (Marks-10)

I.D. No. ___________________
4. The fundamental objective of all the regulators governing with the Indian capital
market or the corporate sector revolves around building the investors confidence
and maintaining it thereafter. An educated investor is a protected investor.
Thus, investor education, promotion of the investors awareness and protection of
their rights along with an adequate/efficient dispute redressal mechanism has
been a major concern for the regulators. Despite strict requirements under the
Companies Act 1956, SEBI Act 1992, SCRA 1956, ICDR 2009, the Listing
Agreement along with the initiatives taken Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the
investors are still not completely risk free as they face difficulties and grievances
with respect to their investment.
Discuss the position with respect to the investors rights under the Companies
Act 1956, SEBI Act 1992, SCRA 1956 and the Listing agreement and also talk
about the efforts and initiatives taken by them in promoting investor education
and investor grievance redressal mechanism. (Marks-10)

5. The idea of Corporate Social Responsibility although not a recent one, is most
certainly a contemporary one, with debates raging like wildfire about it. What
exactly is it? Is it necessary at all? What is its relevance? These are some of the
fundamental questions which need to be addressed. In the wake of its evolution
at the international level it has left a mighty trail indeed. From OECD to UN
Global Compact to the European Union, in almost all the civilized nations there
are tell-tale evidences of the official manifestation of Corporate Social
Responsibility. As far as India is concerned the significance of CSR becomes
quite prominent as efforts in the form of Voluntary guidelines/codes by the MCA
and also in the form of Companies Bill 2011 is yet to be effective.
With respect to the above context discuss the concept, the different
approaches/trend adopted in India. In addition to that also bring to light the
recent developments and the current issues that revolve around the subject in
India. (Marks-10)

6. Write short notes on any two of the following : (Marks 2x5=10)


i) Issue of ESOP and ESOS
