Decoding DTC: Implications for income from various sources

Dilution in DTC to help individuals save on tax outgo The government has retained the form, but abandoned the spirit of the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) to have a simple, clean tax system without exemptions. ET decodes the implications of DTC on income from house property, cpaital gains and the new tax treatment of savings. Tax treatment of savings Comment Mail to friend The DTC has proposed contributions up to Rs 3 lakh in a year (both by employer and employee) to any account maintained by a permitted savings intermediary be exempt from tax, and would remain untaxed if it remained in that account. Withdrawals are to be included in income from residuary sources, and taxed accordingly. Existing schemes are to be grandfathered. Since the switching over to complete exempt-exempt-exempt (EEE) method of taxation is seen to involve administrative, logistical and technological challenges, the revised discussion paper proposed to continue with EET for specified instruments till further notice. The proposal for introducing Retirement Benefits Accounts scheme also shelved for the same reason. Difficulty in putting in place a universal social security benefits tilted the balance. Taxation of income from house property Comment Mail to friend The DTC had proposed presumptive basis for calculating notional rent from house property (at the rate of 6%) with reference to cost of construction/acquisition. It has also proposed to disallow deductions on interest paid on loans for self-occupied houses. Now, rent received/receivable in a year will be gross rent. No presumptive basis to be used for calculation. Deduction on interest paid on loan taken for construction/acquisition will be allowed for one house that has not be let out, subject to overall limit of Rs 1.5 lakh. More @ http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/quickiearticleshow/6052641.cms Direct Taxes Code watered down to keep all happy NEW DELHI: The government has retained the form, but abandoned the spirit of the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) to have a simple, clean tax system without exemptions. A revised discussion paper on the Direct Taxes Code, released by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on Tuesday, dropped many controversial proposals of the original draft code to help individuals and companies save on their tax outgo. These include levying minimum alternate tax (MAT) on gross assets and taxing savings schemes such as the public provident fund at the time of maturity. Companies will pay MAT on book profits. A dilution of the proposals in the draft code would mean a huge revenue loss for the government, which, in turn, will impact fiscal deficit. The trade-off could be to scale down the liberal tax slabs for individuals proposed in the original code. And that is bad news for taxpayers. "The proposed revisions are like old wine in a new bottle," said Deloitte partner Homi Mistry. But revenue secretary Sunil Mitra said the slabs proposed in the draft code were only illustrative. The code has addressed 11 issues, including MAT, tax treatment of savings, taxation of house property, tax treatment of capital gains, status of double taxation agreements and general anti-avoidance rules. CBDT chairman SSN Murthy said the decision on tax rates will be taken later. The draft code had proposed a 10% tax rate for taxable income between Rs 1,60,000 and Rs 10 lakh, 20% for income above Rs 10 lakh but below Rs 25 lakh, and 30% for income above Rs 25 lakh. This could be tweaked and the prerogative to fix the rate will be with the legislature, said a senior CBDT official. Domestic investors in equities will, however, pay capital gains tax on listed shares, with CBDT retaining the overhaul of the tax treatment proposed in the draft code to scrap this exemption. Capital gains will be added to income and taxed according to an individual’s slab. The tax treatment will be similar for non-residents. The securities transaction tax (STT) will, however, stay and rates will be calibrated. CBDT has also sought to end the uncertainty over tax treatment of FIIs. The income of FIIs that buy and sell shares will be treated as capital gains and not business income, which could increase their tax liability. Going by the revised code, individuals will enjoy tax exemptions in select, but fewer, savings schemes. These include the public provident fund, pension schemes, including the government’s new pension scheme, general provident funds, recognised provident funds, pure life insurance and annuity schemes. These schemes will not be taxed at any stage. The move will give a boost to the new pension scheme, which has not found many takers so far. Other savings schemes such as the national savings certificate, bank deposits, unit-linked insurance plans and equity-linked mutual funds will continue to enjoy tax breaks for their full duration. There is, however, no clarity on their tax treatment when the code comes into force. CBDT has also softened the blow on the tax treatment of house property by scrapping the proposal to compute gross rent on 6% of the cost of construction or acquisition. The salaried class too has been spared of a higher tax burden on perks. 1|2|Next > Second DTC draft addresses wealth tax, anti-avoidance rule The effect of taxes on different investments Govt releases new DTC draft, addresses 11 key issues ****************************************** Heard on the Street: High-return hopes lure bargain hunters to DLF High-return hopes lure bargain hunters to DLF Shares of real estate firm DLF rose 3% in a lacklustre market to close at Rs 272.25. The move was supported by good volumes, with over 21 lakh shares being traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), compared with the two-week average daily volume of around 17 lakh shares. Dealers tracking the DLF counter say bargain hunters have begun nibbling at the stock, as they feel the risk-reward ratio has improved after the 10% correction following the fourth quarter earnings. Some analysts are still bullish on the stock saying that DLF remains the leader in the sector and will be best placed to benefit from a pan-India recovery in property prices. However, another section says investors betting on DLF shares will have to be patient. They point out that a near-term recovery in the stock price will depend on the company’s ability to retire around Rs 5,000 crore of debt this financial year through a mix of internal accruals and sale of non-core assets. Short-covering fuels market upswing Rising inflation and the spectre of higher interest rates appear to be no deterrents to equity investors, as can be seen from the steady rise in benchmark indices. Dealers say the upswing is now being fuelled largely by covering of short positions by traders/fund managers who had taken a bearish short-term view on the market. Fundamentally nothing much has changed, and the market remains expensive relative to its historical valuations, say market participants. However, many foreign funds which had sold call options on the Nifty at 5100, 5150 and 5200 levels are now scrambling to minimise their losses. They are either squaring off their call positions, buying Nifty futures or a basket of Nifty stocks, say institutional dealers. On Tuesday, the Nifty closed at 5222.35, up 0.5% over the previous close. Real estate scrips fail to floor sceptics Shares of real estate firms were the best performers among sectors on the BSE on Monday. But, some of the astute names in the market are rumoured to be bearish on the sector.

Mukesh Ambani's RIL back in telecom with a bang

RIL reconnects with telecom after 5 years

India's largest private firm to buy 95% in Nahata-owned Infotel for Rs 4,800 crore; to get broadest BWA footprint.

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) will buy Mahendra Nahata-promoted Infotel Broadband Services for Rs 4,800 crore, marking the re-entry of India's largest private sector firm into the booming telecom market.

RIL Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani was forced to hand over the telecom business to his brother Anil when they broke up the Reliance empire five years ago. The acquisition of Infotel became possible after the two brothers ended a non-compete accord a month ago.

Minutes after the acquisition announcement, Anil Ambani, who controls the country's second-largest telecom company, Reliance Communications, welcomed RIL's entry into telecom.

Infotel is a two-year-old entity, with the stated objective to roll out WiMax across all circles in India. RIL said it would buy 95 per cent of Infotel, which hours earlier became the only company to buy nationwide licences to offer wireless broadband internet services.

For the time being, RIL will go for only the lucrative corporate bandwidth market, or the business of selling telecom and internet services to companies rather than individuals.

Unlisted Infotel is the only firm to win broadband spectrum in all 22 zones in India in an auction that ended today. The firm is paying Rs 12,848 crore for the spectrum and sources familiar with the developments said RIL would pay this fee.

Nahata said the company was in talks with RIL before the BWA auction.

RIL will invest by subscribing to fresh equity capital at par to be issued by Infotel. The RIL share gained 3 per cent today to close at Rs 1,046.25 on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

While third-generation (3G) spectrum allows high-speed internet access and data transfer on mobile phones, broadband spectrum would enable firms to provide high-speed wireless data links with better coverage than fixed-line broadband.

RIL said it saw the broadband opportunity as a new frontier of the knowledge economy, in which it could take a leadership position and provide India with an opportunity to be in the forefront among the countries providing world-class 4G network and services. A single 20-MHz TDD spectrum, when used with LTE (Long Term Evolution), has the potential of providing greater capacity when compared to existing communication infrastructure in the country, the company said.

RIL said its initiative will usher in a wireless broadband revolution across the country and it planned to create state-of-the-art technology using an asset light strategy. RIL will forge several strategic relations with a host of leading global technology players, service providers, infrastructure providers, application developers, device manufacturers and others to leapfrog India to the 4G revolution.

Mukesh Ambani termed the deal as the next wave of value creation opportunity in the wireless broadband space.

RIL has re-entered telecom at a time when the sector is going through a lot of pain in terms of reduced voice rates. "The management seems to have made up its mind to enter the sector. The valuations in the sector are at their lowest. We might see Reliance Communications and Reliance Industries go for a merger or some kind of association in one or two years down the line," said S P Tulsian of sptulsian.com.

Broadband penetration in India is as low as 1 per cent. While some analysts see this as an opportunity, some say monetisation from this service will be an uphill task. "WiMax, as of now, is not a proven technology across the world. There is no substantial ecosystem which has been developed in India as well. It will take a few months for RIL to start services and we will know their strategy only after they offer their services," said Harit Shah, Analyst at Karvy Stock Broking.

Jagannadham Thunuguntla, equity head of SMC Capitals, said it is common to pay a premium in an acquisition.

"We do not know the nuances of the deal. Sometimes, the right target is not available. The amount of equity which is available for acquisition might have been an issue. There are a number of ifs and buts in a deal," he said.

RIL with a turnover of Rs 2,00,400 crore had a cash profit of Rs 27,933 crore, net profit of Rs 16,236 crore and net worth of Rs 1,37,171 crore as of March 31, 2010. The company, experts said, has the financial muscle to venture into a new sector.

RIL has laid an optical fibre cable (OFC) network to connect its refineries, pipeline network, retail outlets, petrol pumps and logistics business — similar to Gailnet or Railnet.

However, there is a huge amount of unlit (unused) fibre with the company which it could utilise to offer broadband services such as Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). It could also be used to enter the long-distance telephony segment and for relaying entertainment services.

However, the company, till now, did not have a "last mile" solution which can help it enter the customers' homes, hence it would have had to sell bandwidth to internet service providers (ISPs).

Hence, a logical way of entering the telecom sector for Mukesh Ambani at this late stage was to either buy out a broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum winner, or acquire an existing 2G player. It has done so with Infotel now, analysts said.

Euro Recovery Soothes Nerves

Euro Recovery Soothes Nerves

Our markets are likely to open sharply higher on the back of buoyant US markets, which were tracing the gains of the Euro. However, they are likely to run into resistance in the 5150-5170 ranges. How they perform, thereafter will be a function of the IIP data that will be on tap today.

A rebound in the Euro put the Dow back on the 10,000 as the German Supreme Court rejected efforts to block Germany from taking part in guarantees that are critical to the stabilization mechanism aimed to strengthening the euro.

The Dow surged 273 points at 10,173 with the S&P 500 adding 31 points at 1087, and the NASDAQ surging by 60 points to close at 2219.

The euro continued its recent climb, regaining the 1.2100 levels for the first time in a week after trading as low as 1.1877 on Monday.

Strong demand for Spain’s €3.9 billion auction of three-year government bonds and the Bank of England holding its base interest rate at a record low of 0.5% for the 16th consecutive month also helped matters on a day when energy stocks rebounded and initial weekly jobless claims fell by 3,000 in the US.

News that the SEC stepped up its examination into a collateralized debt obligation by Goldman Sachs that wasn't part of the civil fraud charges previously filed against the firm, made the stock register a new 52 week low.

Meanwhile, Crude for July delivery gained $1.10, to settle at $75.48 a barrel. Gold contract settled $7.70 lower, at $1,222.20 an ounce. The dollar traded lower against a basket of currencies, with the dollar index down by 1%.

Coming back to our markets, we have the crucial IIP data today. The market men expect a 14% rise. If that happens that will be an improvement on the last number. Ever since the data peaked in December 2009, it is on a steady decline.

As far as the US markets go, we are not reading too much into the 273-point rally in the Dow. A study of the benchmark since the year 2000 reveals that whenever the Index rises more than 200 points, the Index falls on an average 15 points the next day. For the current year, there have been 3 other instances and it has fallen on an average 50 points the next day. You cant really read too much into this and is not something which is extra ordinary. The chances of a reversal are higher the next day.

While the Nifty’ surge may be capped in the region of 5150-5170, the mid-caps could do well. Road stocks like IRB or Gujarat Apollo may do well on the back of new projects being sanctioned. Indian Hotels and Prakash Industries look well placed.

BANKNIFTY
Current level: 9,346,
Target level: 9,200

The index tested a strong resistance today at around the 9,350-9,375 mark and failed to break it. Several banking majors such as ICICI, SBI and IDBI closed weak. The index could take another plunge sometime tomorrow and may have a downside till around 9,200. Keep a stop loss at 9,375 and go short with an initial target of 9,275. Below that, reset the target to 9,200 and reset the stop loss to 9,300.

BHARTI AIRTEL
Current price: Rs 285,
Target price: Rs 300

The stock could have an upside till around the 300-mark if it passes resistance at 287. It has developed an uptrend alongside volume expansion.

Keep a stop at 279 and go long increase the position between 287 and 290. Start booking profits above 295 and clear the position by 300.

If the scrip drops below 276, it could slide till 260 so, consider a short trade.

RELINFRA
Current price: Rs 1,121,
Target price: Rs 1,165

The stock has reversed from a downtrend and risen on high volumes. The target projection on the basis of the chart patterns would suggest a rise till 1165-1170 levels. But, there's a fair amount of resistance between 1,120 and 1,130, and a significant potential downside. Keep a stop at 1,110 and go long. Increase the position between 1130 and 1,140 and book profits beyond 1,165. If the 1,110 stop is broken, the scrip could react till 1,070.

Trading in KPIT frozen as stock hits upper circuit

Trading in shares of KPIT Infosystems was frozen at the upper end of the 20% intra-day circuit filter, after there were only buyers in the stock. Last week, the company had formed an equal joint venture with Bharat Forge for a hybrid technology designed to improve fuel efficiency of vehicles.

According to a note by domestic broking firm Paid Leave (PL), the joint venture is targeting revenues of Rs 300-500 in FY12, with an operating margin of 15-18%. But PL thinks this is a very conservative estimate. Strangely, PL has assigned an ‘accumulate’ rating to the stock, instead of a full-fledged ‘buy’ rating.

Leading domestic broking house Info Lion is said to have been a big buyer in the stock, though it couldn’t be ascertained if it was making the purchases on behalf of its institutional or non-institutional clients. KPIT shares closed at Rs 129.50 on the NSE, with nearly 77 lakh shares being traded. Less than a fifth of that volume resulted in delivery.

Fatpipe extends IPO bid date on low turnout

The initial public offer of Fatpipe Networks has been extended till Monday due to a low investor turnout. The company has also changed the price band of the issue from Rs 82-85 to Rs 80-85, according to merchant bankers. The issue was subscribed just 0.7 times.

According to brokers, a couple of HNIs and an institutional buyer, who had invested in the IPO, wanted to back out from the bidding process. However, merchant bankers of the issue denied any such incident.

“Investors have not backed out of the issue. The only problem we faced was when one bid came in past the IPO subscription deadline,” said a senior official of Keynote Corporate Services, the banker to the issue.

Outlicensing deal hopes trigger rally in Orchid Chem

They are hoping the company may announce an outlicensing deal. When contacted, a senior company official declined to comment on market speculation.

Tech view: Strength above 5053

As expected the bulls tried to fight back, however, global cues once again played spoilsport. The European markets which weakened in late noon deals, forced our markets to pare gains. The Sensex finally ended with a gain of 40-odd points at 16,658. The NSE Nifty was up 13 points at 5,000.

As things stand, the markets are trapped in an extremely narrow band - within the 20-days and 50-days DMA (Daily Moving Averages). In case of Sensex it is 16,650-16,840 and on Nifty 4997-5053. Longer the markets trade below the short-term moving averages, difficult it would get for them to bounce back. Hence one needs to watch the 20-days DMA as key reference point for future trend.

Today, the Nifty is likely to find support around 4,975-4,955, while face resistance around 5,025-5,045.

Yes Bank
Current Price: Rs 279,
Target Price: Rs 292

The stock has seen a correction to a key support. It appears to be in an inter-mediate uptrend. It has the potential to bounce till 290-295 levels in the next upmove, which could be tomorrow. Keep a stop at 276 and go long. Increase the position between 284 and 286, and start booking profits above 290. If the stop at 275 is broken however, the stock could fall till 269 and below that, 263.

Tata Motors
Current price: Rs 728,
Target Price: Rs 710

The stock is seeing heavy selling beyond the 730-mark. It has a likely downside till 705-710 level and it should test support at the top end of that band as a minimum target. Keep a stop at 735 and go short. Increase the position below 720 and reset the stop loss to 724. Clear the position below 710. Note that if 735 is exceeded, the stock could jump to 750. So consider going long if the stop is broken.

Nifty
Current price: 5,000.3,
Target Price: NA

The index is at key support. If its trades below 4,975, it could fall all the way till 4,800. On the upside, there's serious resistance at 5050 and above but if that is broken, a rise till 5,175 is possible. Two option spreads are tempting with a 2 session perspective. A long 5,100c (59) and short 5,200c (25) costs 34 and pays a maximum of 66. A long 4,900p (71) and short 4,800p (49) costs 22 and pays a maximum of 78. The bearspread has the better ratio.

Blame it on BoR merger, ICICI Bank sheds 3% Shares of ICICI Bank shed 3% to Rs 842.20 on Monday, leading the decline in banking stocks. According to dealers, a foreign institutional investor, which bought a sizeable chunk in the bank in the past month or so, was a seller on the stock. ICICI Bank has been in news recently after its decision to merge Bank of Rajasthan with itself, a move that was not appreciated by many in the market. Investors fear the move could hurt the bank’s asset quality. PSU insurer buys Essar Oil on price deregulation hopes A large PSU insurance major is believed to have been mopping up shares of Mumbai-based Essar Oil in the past few sessions. Brokers said that the insurance firm was a big buyer in the stock on Monday, though the stock closed 1% lower at Rs 127. According to dealers, market participants were anticipating some positive development on deregulation of fuel price. This could have helped the company in getting some relief in expanding their fuel retailing. The company has recently announced its plans to raise up to $300 million by issue of FCCBs in one or more tranches, on preferential offer basis to promoter company, Essar Energy Holdings to part finance its scaling up of Jamnagar refinery capacity by 25% to 3,75,000 barrels and increasing its complexity. Fairfield gains 14% on delisting hopes Shares of Fairfield Atlas rose 13.9% to Rs 55 on Monday on speculation the recent government rules on minimum public shareholding requirement would prompt the company to consider delisting. Promoters hold 83.91% in the company. Reliance Capital Trustee is one of the key FIs in the company with a 8.46% stake. The buzz is that Fairfield’s promoters are not in favour of diluting their stake in the company for meeting the new rules, while Reliance Capital is unwilling to sell its stake in an open offer, if any. Grapevine has it that Reliance Capital is not ready to tender shares around this level, as its average purchase price of this stock has been ‘much higher’. In 2007, TH Licensing Inc, the company’s promoters, had made an open offer to buy all of public shareholding at Rs 81 per share, but was not successful as Reliance Capital did not participate in the open offer.

Euro crisis may dampen market sentiment

Euro crisis may dampen market sentiment

MUMBAI: Shares could weaken on Monday and then trade in a range of around 200 points on the Nifty for the rest of the week, say brokers. The latest bad news from Europe, this time from Hungary, jolted world markets on Friday. US shares tumbled after the unemployment number for May was higher than market estimates. These developments will affect the sentiment for Indian shares, which have had a good run over the past few sessions. Just when it seemed that the sovereign debt crisis in Greece was under control, the new government in Hungary said that its public finances were in a bad shape than estimated and that the country had only a slim chance of avoiding a debt crisis. “Sentiment rather than fundamentals will drive share prices in the short term,” said Apurva Shah, vice-president & head-research, institutional equity, Prabhudas Lilladhar. “India is much better placed than most other economies, but its shares can not be immune to the turmoil in world markets,” he added. Brokers expect foreign funds to persist with their selling-spree should the situation in Europe worsen. In May alone, foreign funds net-sold around Rs 9,700 crore. Technical analysts expect the Nifty to face resistance in the 5150-5175 band, but don’t see the index falling below 4,800 in the near term. The meteorological department’s (Met) prediction of a normal monsoon and expectations of healthy corporate earnings for the current quarter will cushion the fall, market participants said. Benchmark indices will take cues from the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) due this week.

Investors expect shares of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceutical companies to be in demand, as these stocks are relatively steady in a volatile market.
