LICENCE OF IMMIGRATION CONSULTANCY FIRM ?


Immigration consultancy company loses licence for concealing facts SAS Nagar (Mohali), November 30, 2017: The District Magistrate, SAS Nagar, Gurpreet Kaur Sapra on Thursday ordered cancellation of the licence of World Wide Immigration Consultancy Services (WWICS) for concealing important facts while applying for it.
The licence number 03 MC/-2 issued on August 29, 2014 was ordered to be cancelled with immediate effect.
The company had been issued licence to operate for providing immigration consultancy in 2014 from its office A-12, Industrial Area, Phase 6, SAS Nagar (Mohali).
It came to the notice of the authorities that the company concealed material facts related to registration of an FIR and its members being NRIs in violation of the rules.
The authorized representative of the WWICS, Anuj Kaushal had in 2013 applied for the registration of the company under Punjab Travel Professional Regulation Act for providing consultancy services.

On the basis of various complaints, it was found that cases had been registered against its directors Baljit Singh Sandhu and Davinder Singh Sandhu at Police Station, Sector-17, Chandigarh in 2012.
Moreover, both directors being Canadian citizens were not eligible to apply without taking approval from Reserve Bank of India.
After being issued show cause notice, the company representative pleaded that no action should be taken with effect to cancellation of their licence since their petition was pending before the court.
But it was found out that the company’s pending petition was about challenging the validity of Punjab Travel Professional Regulation Act and not about cancellation of its licence due to concealment of material facts by the applicant.
