* The property or such contributions is managed as a whole on behalf of the investors whether or not such a property or investment is evidenced by identifiable properties or otherwise.

The committee is making an attempt to include all possible schemes that are issued by theseplantation companies. The chairman of the committee S A Dave did not attend the meeting and hence no final decision was taken on the definition. The definition being taken into consideration will cover various schemes like the time share units, the teak equity, orchards, land and also the deposit schemes.

The committee also put forth another recommendation on how the plantation schemes should be assessed.
