“Mr Oberoi’s Part 4A permission” means the permission granted by the Authority
to Mr Oberoi pursuant to Part 4A of the Act;

“the Returns” means the CCR003 and CCR007 returns for the period ended 5
April 2016, which Mr Oberoi was due to submit to the Authority by 18 May 2016;

“the suitability Threshold Condition” means the threshold condition stated at

“the Tribunal” means the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber); and

REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that Mr Oberoi is
failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not
satisfied that Mr Oberoi is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether Mr Oberoi managed his business in such a way
as to ensure that his affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because Mr Oberoi has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to
submit the Returns. Mr Oberoi has not been open and co-operative in all his
dealings with the Authority, in that he has failed to respond adequately to the
Authority's repeated requests for him to submit the Returns, and has thereby
failed to comply with Principle 11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses and
to satisfy the Authority that he is ready, willing and organised to comply with the
requirements and standards under the regulatory system.

8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of Mr Oberoi’s suitability, lead
the Authority to conclude that Mr Oberoi has failed to manage his business in
such a way as to ensure that his affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent
manner, that he is not a fit and proper person, and that he is therefore failing to
satisfy the Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which he
has had a permission.

DECISION MAKER

9.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made
by the Regulatory Decisions Committee.

IMPORTANT

10.
