New Delhi, The Competition Commission of India has slapped penalties totalling Rs 55 lakh on Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and <keyword id="6367884" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="tpg" source="Orion">TPG</keyword> Group for making false declarations before the regulator while availing the green channel facility in a deal related to the acquisition of a stake in <keyword id="333824" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="upl" source="Orion">UPL</keyword> Sustainable Agri Solutions Ltd (<keyword id="15838761" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="upl-sas" source="Orion">UPL SAS</keyword>). The acquirers, ADIA and TPG Group, shall pay the penalty jointly and severally, the <keyword id="47183" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="cci" source="Orion">CCI</keyword> order said. The transaction pertains to the combination comprising the acquisition of a stake in UPL SAS by Platinum Trust and TPG Upswing through the Upswing Trust, the CCI said in the order. Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is the sole beneficiary and settlor of the Platinum Trust, while TPG Upswing is a part of the TPG Group. In December 2022, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) received a notice jointly given by Platinum Trust, acting through Platinum Trustee, and TPG Upswing in relation to the combination. The regulator noted that the <keyword id="18511918" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="upl-sas-acquisition" source="Orion">UPL SAS acquisition</keyword> has been consummated on or before February 17 2023, as the notifying parties (ADIA and TPG) gave the notice under the facility of green channel approval. Under the green channel route, the parties to the combination can avail the benefit of the facility only if their respective group entities and/or any entity in which they, directly or indirectly, hold shares and/or control neither exhibit horizontal overlap nor vertical interface nor complementarity, the watchdog said. Thereafter, CCI issued a show cause notice in May and observed that Upswing Trust holds a 22.2 per cent stake in UPL Corporation Ltd (UPLC) which is engaged in the business of formulated crop protection products (FCPPs). Further, the regulator also observed that Arysta India, a subsidiary of UPLC, is also engaged in the business of manufacturing and distribution of formulated crop protection products, similar to SWAL (wholly-owned subsidiary of UPL) and UPL SAS. CCI noted that the activities of Arysta India, UPL SAS and SWAL exhibit overlaps. Also, Arysta India is an indirect subsidiary of the portfolio company of the Upswing Trust. Thus, the activities of the Upswing Trust through UPLC and Arysta India appeared to exhibit overlaps with the activities of target business and thereby, CCI found that the UPL SAS acquisition does not satisfy the conditions prescribed under the norms, the regulator said. Therefore, the UPL SAS acquisition is not eligible for the benefit of green channel approval facility and the green channel declaration was incorrect and false in material particulars. Further, the notifying parties made statements in the notice, including notice declaration which are false in material particulars. In its 15-page order, the regulator also found that the combination does not fall under the rules and the declaration filed is incorrect, the notice given and the approval granted under the rules shall be void ab initio. Accordingly, the notice and deemed approval, under the rules, for UPL SAS acquisition is found to be void ab initio, CCI said. As the UPL SAS acquisition has already been consummated, the acquirers are liable for penalty under Section 43A of the Act, it added. In addition, the regulator also noted that UPL SAS Acquisition is not likely to have any appreciable adverse effect on competition in India, and therefore, the commission hereby approves the UPL SAS Acquisition under Section 31(1) of the Act.

<ul><li><keyword id="13424650" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="upi-lite" source="Orion">UPI LITE</keyword> lets you do instant transactions of up to ₹200 or less without using a PIN.</li><li>Transactions are made using a wallet and not from a linked bank account.</li><li>Transactions are faster and have an improved success rate.</li></ul>Have you been frustrated when making UPI payments because your bank’s servers were down? With Paytm Payments Bank launching UPI LITE, that may be a thing of the past. UPI LITE is a feature enabled by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) for multiple small value UPI transactions. It enables faster real-time transactions with a single click. UPI LITE was launched by the Reserve Bank of India in September 2022 and BHIM app has been allowing these transactions since the end of September last year. “UPI is the most versatile of payment options and its popularity continues to rise. So it is inevitable that there are newer innovations happening around it,’ says Adhil Shetty, CEO, BankBazaar.com. In case of UPI LITE, you can conduct transactions using an ‘on-device’ wallet and not from a linked bank account. Once loaded, a UPI LITE wallet allows a user to do instant transactions of up to ₹200, thus making it easier to make low value transactions. According to a NPCI circular issued in May 2022, 50% of the total UPI transactions are of value of ₹200 and less, so UPI LITE will benefit a lot of customers. A maximum of ₹2,000 can be added twice in a day to UPI LITE, making the cumulative daily usage up to ₹4,000. Additionally, with UPI LITE, users can carry out a large number of small value UPI payments in a superfast manner without worrying about cap on the number of bank transactions. Users do not need to key in a four or six digit pin to use UPI LITE and this makes way for quicker and hassle-free payments. According to the NPCI website, since UPI LITE transactions do not utilize the remitter banks core banking system, there is an improved rate of success. Plus, since one can make several transactions after loading their wallet once, the passbook gets less cluttered. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Steps to set up and use UPI LITE" comment="subhead" text="Steps to set up and use UPI LITE">Steps to set up and use UPI LITE</cmsannotation> <ol><li>Open the Paytm app on your phone.</li><li>Tap on the ‘Profile’ button on the top left corner.</li><li>Click on ‘UPI and Payments Settings’ and and click on ‘UPI LITE’ under the ‘Other Settings’ option.</li><li>Choose a bank account that is eligible for UPI LITE.</li><li>Enter the amount you want to add to the UPI LITE account and ‘Add Money’ to activate UPI LITE.</li><li>Enter your MPIN to validate your UPI LITE account.</li><li>Once the UPI LITE account is set up, you can make payments with a single click without using a PIN. </li></ol><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Difference between UPI and UPI LITE" comment="subhead" text="Difference between UPI and UPI LITE">Difference between UPI and UPI LITE</cmsannotation> <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"> </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">UPI </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">UPI LITE </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">What is it? </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">UPI is a round-the-clock payment system that enables real-time instantaneous transfer of funds between two bank accounts </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">UPI LITE is a feature that allows users to make small-value payments real-time using an on-device wallet </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Is PIN mandatory? </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">A 4 to 6-digit PIN is mandatory </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">At present, you don't need a PIN to send money through UPI LITE </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Transaction Limit </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">The upper limit per UPI transaction is ₹2 lakh </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">The upper limit is ₹200.

Shares of UPL, India’s largest pesticide company, plunge by 13% after whistleblower alleges promoter fraud

Toxicology experts will soon train doctors working in Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and district hospitals in <keyword id="13126" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="maharashtra" source="Orion">Maharashtra</keyword> and other places in the country about the protocols for diagnosis and treatment of farmers exposed to chemicals and pesticides, a medical expert has said. Toxicology as a subject is quite neglected in the medical curriculum, Dr Tejas Prajapati, a clinical medical toxicologist at the LG Hospital in Ahmedabad, said at a press conference on Wednesday after a symposium on 'Occupational health hazards in agriculture' held at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (<keyword id="40458" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="aiims" source="Orion">AIIMS</keyword>), Nagpur. Doctors at the PHCs are the first contact in the case of a patient exposed to pesticides and chemicals. They are already loaded with various other medical programmes and works and a case of such a medical emergency is immediately sent to higher centres and the "<keyword id="2284670" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="golden-period" source="Orion">golden period</keyword>" is lost, he noted. "The AIIMS along with the <keyword id="333824" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="upl" source="Orion">UPL</keyword> Limited (an agriculture solutions and services company) will provide the actual protocol training to <keyword id="6638497" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="phc" source="Orion">PHC</keyword> doctors from Vidarbha, Maharashtra and the country about the diagnosis and treatment of farmers exposed to pesticides and chemicals," Dr Prajapati said. He said ultimately, the goal is to save the lives of individuals and hence they were doing this awareness programme. Deputy director of health services, block and district health officers and PHC officers from Nagpur attended a training session here on Wednesday, Dr Prajapati said.
