75% of indias population is below the age of 30 how many 30 yr olds do you know who stash cash in sb accounts?the young india appears to have the attitude ---have money will spend----- i see good demand for apperals, jewellery, food, vehicles,upgrading homes, flat screens,and for products that give better returns than the 6% one earns with banks
understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

Cut in excise duties >> Good for Automobiles >> Good for General Insurance companies.
 
Seems like Mutual Funds will have a tough time maintaining their profitability. After Sebi ruling on ads increasing the duration of disclaimer, FM has now imposed service tax on them.
 
I dont see much impact of STCG on brokerages as it will be set-off against increase in slabs for retail investors and rupee appreciation for FII's.

There is one question in my mind and that will never be answered by any budget or any govt... Why dont Govt bring all big farmers in to the Tax net. It is really unfair to the working class salaried people who have to pay TDS and the big people just walk away..

Increase in taxes do not affect the FIIs. It is on the domestic investor. FIIs are still taxed on the differential basis.
 
I have been invited to participate as a panelist in a post Budget discussion at the IIFT campus in Kolkata. The other participants would be Mr. Rupen Roy - head at Deloite Haskins and VP - YES Bank. Will fill everyone in after the meet on Monday.
 
I am required to provide the stock market's perspective on the Budget.

Great , Congrats Basant ji
If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The
only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of

Oh Vivek…. US Govt does NOT give the loans. It is given by Banks and US Treasury backed institutions. If US Govt makes this to happens, by instructing the treasury, then who buys the treasury bills ?????
