LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

3
4. Section 66C
• The Central Govt
• Having regard to nature and description of
various services
• By rules made in this regard
• Determine the place where such services are
provided or deemed to have been provided or
agreed to be provided or deemed to have
agreed to be provided
4
5. Place of Provision of Services Rules,
2012 (POP Rules)
Purpose
• To determine the place where a service shall be deemed to be
provided so as to ascertain the taxing jurisdiction for a service
• To avoid double taxation and also to ensure that no service is
left untaxed
These rules would replace the existing rules:
• Export of Services Rules, 2005
• Taxation of Services (Provided from outside India and received in India)
Rules, 2006
5
6. These Rules are meant for….
• Persons who deal in cross border services.
• Persons having operations with suppliers or customers in the
state of Jammu and Kashmir.
• Service providers operating within India from multiple
locations, without having centralized registration
• To determine the services that are wholly consumed within
SEZ to avail the outright exemption
• Proposed GST regime - the new rules are also expected to
help in identifying various issues that may arise in the taxation
of inter-state services.
6
7. Illustration
Services provided from one location, delivered to a person located at another and yet
be actually consumed at a third location or over a larger geographical territory, falling
in more than one taxable jurisdiction
Eg: For example a person located in Mumbai may buy a ticket on internet from a
service provider located outside India for a journey from Delhi to London.
Service provider
Service recipient
London
(India)
(Travel agent)
purchase of air
ticket for travel
(Delhi to US)
Airline of Canada 7
8. Destination based consumption tax
• Credit chain to be maintained
• Economic reasons not legal
– Customs duty generally charged by the importing state not the
exporting state
– Exporting state get various other benefits
• However, services are of peculiar nature – In some cases –
– Place of provision is dominant,
– Place of provider is dominant
– Other factors have to be taken in consideration
– Place of receiver is dominant
8
9. Philosophy of Rules
• B-B transaction – place of service receiver
• B-C transaction – place of service provider
9
10. Basis of classification
• Location of service receiver [R. 3]
• Performance of service/ Location of immovable
property (also include multiple locations of
performance) [R.4,5,6,7]
• Both provider and receiver in India [R. 8]
• Location of service provider [R.9]
• Service of transportation of goods and services [R.
10,11]
• Services provided on board conveyance [R.12]
10
11. Order of Application or Rules
(Rule 14)
• Where the provision of a service is, prima facie, determinable
in terms of more than one rule,
• it shall be determined in accordance with the rule that occurs
later among the rules that merit equal consideration.
• Illustration which will show the relevance of the rule:
– An architect based in Mumbai provides his service to an Indian Hotel
Chain (which has business establishment in New Delhi) for its
property in Dubai.
– If Rule 5 (Property rule) were to be applied, the POP would be the
location of the property i.e Dubai (outside the taxable territory).
– Whereas, by application of Rule 8, since both the provider and the
receiver are located in taxable territory, the POP would be the
location of the service receiver i.e New Delhi.
11
12. Certain notified services (Rule 13)
• In order to prevent double taxation or non-taxation of the provision of a
service, or for the uniform application of rules,
• the Central Government shall have the power to notify any description of
service or circumstances
• in which the place of provision shall be the place of effective use and
enjoyment of a service.
Example
• UK charge tax on passenger transportation on the basis of performance
• Indian charge on basis of place of embarkation
• Ticket - India for London
• Fully taxable in India
• Part taxable in UK
• CG may notify the said service to avoid double taxation
12
13. Services provided on board a
conveyance (Rule 12)

of a passenger transport operation - first scheduled point of
departure of that conveyance for the journey
• movies/ music/ video/ software games/ beauty treatment
• Must be provided against a specific charge (not supplied as
part of the fare)
• Would not be applicable where services are provided at
Airport, railway station, bus terminal, etc
13
14. Rule 12 Cont…..
• IRCTC (DEL High Court) – food loaded on to trains in Delhi but
actually supplied in various states, by stretched interpretation,
held that sale in Delhi. No such problem in proposed rules.
• Example
A video game is provided as on-board entertainment during
the Kolkata-Delhi leg of a Bangkok-Kolkata-Delhi flight. The
place of provision of this service will be Bangkok (outside
taxable territory, hence not liable to tax).
If the above service is provided on a Delhi-Kolkata-Bangkok-
Jakarta flight during the Bangkok-Jakarta leg, then the place of
provision will be Delhi (in the taxable territory, hence liable to
tax).
14
15. Rule 12 Cont…..
Under VAT UK
• There are no special place of supply rules for the treatment of on- board
services, and when considering place of supply the normal rules should be
applied i.e. the place of provision is where the supplier belongs.
• There are two exceptions, for catering and gaming machines. They both
are consider when provided on passenger ship/ aircraft which is leaving

services is regarded as being made outside the UK, and therefore outside
the scope of UK VAT.
15
16. Provision of passenger
transportation services (Rule 11)
• The place of provision in respect of a passenger transportation
service shall be the place where the passenger embarks on the
conveyance for a continuous journey.

41. “Business Establishment”
• ‘Business establishment’ is the place where
the essential decisions concerning the general
management of the business are adopted, and
where the functions of its central
administration are carried out. This could be
the Head office, or a factory, or a workshop, or
shop/ retail outlet. Most significantly, there is
only one business establishment that a service
provider or receiver can have
41
42. “Fixed Establishment”
• A “fixed establishment” is a place (other than
the business establishment) which has the
permanent presence of human and technical
resources to provide or receive a service.
Temporary presence of a staff by way of a
short visit at a place cannot be called a fixed
establishment.
42
43. “most directly concerned with the
supply”
• This will depend on the facts and supporting documentation, specific to
each case.
• Illustration

Singapore and New York. Its business establishment is in India.
2. An overseas business house sets up offices with staff in India to provide
services to Indian customers. Its fixed establishment is in India.
3. A company with a business establishment abroad buys a property in India
which it leases to a tenant. The property by itself does not create a fixed
establishment. If the company sets up an office in India to carry on its
business by managing the property, this will create a fixed establishment
in India.
43
44. “usual place of residence”
• Body Corporate - place where it is incorporated or otherwise legally
constituted.

of his time for the period in question. Ex- where the individual has set up his
home, or where he lives with his family and is in full time employment.
• Individuals are not treated as belonging in a country if they are short term,
transitory visitors (for example if they are visiting as tourists, or to receive
medical treatment or for a short term language/other course).
• An individual cannot have more than one place of usual residence.
• Telecommunication services- is the billing address. The place would be the
address registered with the service provider for billing of individual customers.

Bangalore and the address registered is of Delhi. The place of usual residence
is Delhi.
44
45. Service provided at more that one
location (Rule 7)
• Where any service referred to in rules 4, 5, or 6 is provided at more

• This rule covers the situation where:
1. The service is provided from various location and
2. One of the location is in the taxable territory
45
46. Service provided at more that one
location (Rule 7)

location (Rule 7)
• Illustration 2
A UK accountant supplies accountancy services to a UK incorporated company
which has its business establishment abroad. However, the services are received in
connection with the company’s UK tax obligations and therefore the UK fixed
establishment, created by the registered office, receives the supply.
• Illustration 3
• A customer has a business establishment in the UK and a fixed establishment in
the USA created by its branch. The UK establishment contracts a UK company to
provide staff to the USA branch. The supplier invoices the UK establishment and is
paid by them. The services are most directly used by the USA branch and therefore
are received at the overseas establishment.
