To:
Gulam Mohmed Suleman Jiva

Of:


395 Derby Street



Bolton

BL3 6LT






FSA Reference
Number:

545005


Dated:

4 October 2012

ACTION

1.
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Financial Services Authority (the
“FSA”) hereby takes the following action against Gulam Mohmed Suleman Jiva (“Mr
Jiva”).

2.
The FSA gave Mr Jiva a Decision Notice on 29 August 2012 (the “Decision Notice”)
which notified Mr Jiva that for the reasons given below and pursuant to Regulation
10(1)(h) of the Payment Services Regulations 2009 (the “PSR”), the FSA had decided
to cancel the registration granted to Mr Jiva as a small payment institution under the
PSR.

3.
Mr Jiva has not referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery
Chamber) within 28 days of the date on which the Decision Notice was given to Mr
Jiva.

4.
Accordingly, the FSA has today cancelled Mr Jiva’s registration as a small payment
institution.

REASONS FOR ACTION

5.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning Notice
dated 13 July 2012 (the “Warning Notice”), and in the Decision Notice (an extract of
the Decision Notice is attached to and forms part of this Notice), the FSA has
concluded that Mr Jiva has failed to submit the Payment Services Directive

Transactions return (the “FSA057”), for the period ended 31 December 2011, and to
respond adequately to repeated FSA requests that he submit the FSA057.

6.
These failings lead the FSA to conclude that Mr Jiva has failed to comply with the
requirement that he submit the FSA057 to the FSA, that Mr Jiva has failed to
demonstrate a readiness and willingness to comply with his ongoing regulatory
obligations and to deal with the FSA in an open and co-operative way. It is therefore
desirable to cancel Mr Jiva’s registration as a small payment institution in order to
protect the interests of consumers, in accordance with Regulation 10(1)(h) of the PSR
(as applied by Regulation 14).

RELEVANT STATUTORY AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS

7.
The statutory and regulatory provisions relevant to this Final Notice are set out in the
Annex.

DECISION MAKER

8.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made by
the Regulatory Decisions Committee.

IMPORTANT

9.
This Final Notice is given to Mr Jiva in accordance with section 390(1) of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”) (as applied by paragraph 7(b) of
Part 1 of Schedule 5 to the PSR).

Publicity

10.
Sections 391(4), 391(6) and 391(7) of the Act (as applied by paragraph 7(c) of Part 1
of Schedule 5 of the PSR) apply to the publication of information about the matter to
which this Final Notice relates. Under those provisions, the FSA must publish such
information about the matter to which this Final Notice relates as the FSA considers

Notice relates as it considers appropriate.

EXTRACT FROM THE DECISION NOTICE DATED 29 AUGUST 2012 ISSUED BY
THE FSA TO GULAM MOHMED SULEMAN JIVA


“FACTS AND MATTERS RELIED ON

7. Mr Jiva was registered by the FSA on 29 September 2011 as a small payment institution.

8. Mr Jiva is required to submit the FSA057. Despite repeated requests and warnings, he
has failed to submit the FSA057 for the period ended 31 December 2011.

9. By its Warning Notice dated 13 July 2012 (the “Warning Notice”), the FSA gave notice
that it proposed to take the action described above and Mr Jiva was given the opportunity
to make representations to the FSA about that proposed action.

10. No representations having been received by the FSA from Mr Jiva within the time
allowed by the Warning Notice, the default procedures in DEPP 2.3.2G of the FSA’s
Decision Procedure and Penalties Manual permit the facts and matters described in the
Warning Notice, and repeated in this Decision Notice, to be regarded as undisputed.

11. The FSA has therefore decided to take the action to cancel Mr Jiva’s registration for the
reasons described above.”

cancel the registration of a small payment institution if the cancellation is desirable in
order to protect the interests of consumers.

“(1) A payment service provider must give the Authority such information in
respect of its provision of payment services and its compliance with
requirements imposed by or under…these Regulations as the Authority may
direct.

(2) Information required under this regulation must be given at such times and
in such form, and verified in such manner, as the Authority may direct.”

RELEVANT HANDBOOK PROVISIONS

guidance (the “Handbook”). The relevant main considerations in relation to the action
specified above are set out below.

Relevant Directions

FSA Direction SUP 16.13.4D, in the Supervision Manual of the Handbook, directs
that a small payment institution is required to submit the FSA057 annually, one month

non-submission of regulatory returns.
