The government has made payments of more than Rs 1 lakh crore to people through Direct Benefits Transfer (DBT) scheme in this financial year. DBT has helped the central government save close to Rs 75,000 crore since 2014.

These savings mean that Rs 75,000 crore was passed on as benefits to 63 crore people, as against 35 crore people last year. This was money handed over to the consumers without being pocketed by middlemen or duplication.

The scheme benefitted only 10 crore people when the Modi government took over in 2014.

The amount of payout through DBT was at Rs 1,00,144 crore on Wednesday, up from Rs 74,707 crore in 2016-17 and Rs 7,367 crore in 2013-14. A senior government official told that the final figure could even reach as high as Rs 1.2 lakh crore for this year. That's a 60% increase over the previous year.

The figure was opposed by the others, which includes the opposition and activists, to be an inflated sum.

Of the 142 central schemes covered under the DBT in the previous financial year, there are currently 450 programmes that exist. The government hopes to bring the rest of the schemes under the ambit of the DBT by March.

It was seen that Rs 20,610 crore was paid as LPG subsidy, Rs 10,042 crore under various scholarship schemes for education and Rs 5,831 crore through the National Social Assistance Programme The MGNREGS is seen to be the biggest beneficiary of this scheme in this financial year, which was Rs 28,623 crore, while Rs 34,917 crore was provided under other schemes.

Mutual fund houses are perturbed at the second consecutive day of market carnage, which will impact the sustained inflows the industry had seen so far.

Fund managers said the sharp plunge in the market may bring down the inflows in the mutual fund industry by 50 percent.

“This fall will have an percent impact the inflows. If this kind of market fall continues then the inflows may fall by half,” said a senior equity fund manager from a private fund house on condition of anonymity.

Domestic MFs witnessed total inflows of Rs 1.69-lakh crore in 2017. The 42-player MF industry also saw its assets base jump to over Rs 22 lakh crore in 2017, adding more than Rs 5.4 lakh crore to its kitty, on strong participation from retail investors and investor awareness initiatives.

Boosted by strong participation from retail investors, the number of mutual fund folios grew by a staggering 1.37 crore in 2017, to an all-time high of 6.65 crore. Folios are numbers designated to individual investor accounts, though one investor can have multiple accounts.

Asset managers say if similar kind of market plunge continues then industry might see 50 percent fall in inflows across the industry.

Carnage on D-Street continued for the second consecutive day in a row which pushed the S&P BSE Sensex by over 1200 points in opening trade on Monday but experts feel it was long overdue as valuations were rich.

“The fall is justified as valuations were rich. It is good for investors as at this investors can use this dip to pick up good quality stocks,” said Gautam Sinha Roy, Senior Vice President and Equity Fund Manager at Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund.

Agreeing with Roy, another fund manager from a private fund house said the fall in the market was ‘anticipated’ but this is something which was long overdue and investors must utilize this fall to buy stocks which were expensive.

"If this fall continues then it may be bad for the industry as inflows might be hit significantly," the fund manager quoted above said.

Considering the fall is driven by global factors, investors should stay long in Indian markets, said experts.

The S&P BSE Sensex suffered a 1275-point drop on Feb 6 following a sharp crack on Wall Street. The index witnessed its biggest intraday fall since the year 2015.

The Nifty50 slipped below its 100-days exponential moving average (DEMA) placed at 10,400. A fall below 10,200 could stretch the decline towards 10,000 levels which is closer to its 200-DEMA.

It is beyond doubt that the most vibrant and resilient Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector shall act as a catalyst to the growth of the Indian economy. The Budget further strengthened the sector by making key structural changes, enabling ease of doing business, and providing tax benefits.

Key structural changes

One of the welcome structural changes announced was to bring on board state-owned banks and corporates on the MSME bill discounting platform and, more importantly, to link it with the GST Network. This will significantly ease cash flow challenges as the cost of working capital shall stand to reduce and MSMEs can easily access capital by discounting their trade receivables. Linking to GST will make credit assessment easier and faster.

The government has also proposed to evolve a scheme to provide a unique identity to every enterprise in India on the lines of Aadhaar, which will eventually give respite to the lender as it will be easier to access the KYC.

Both these structural changes in accessing KYC and assessing the credit shall provide greater benefits to the sector.

Enabling the ease of doing business

The budget also earmarked Rs 3 lakh crore for 2018-19 under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana. The government has assured to address the issues of non-performing assets (NPAs) and stressed accounts of MSMEs. He also referred to a group in the finance ministry that is examining the policy and institutional development measures needed for creating right environment for fintech companies to grow.

The finance minister also stated that the government shall contribute 12 percent of the wages of the new employees in the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) for select sectors over the next three years.  He also referred to the extension of the facility of fixed term employment to these sectors. This in turn will attract good talent at a lower cost.

All these measures shall spur inclusive growth and development.

Providing tax benefits

The proposal to reduce tax for smaller companies with a turnover of up to Rs 250 crore to 25 percent (from the existing turnover of up to Rs 50 crore) emphasises the importance of MSME sector in economic activity. This will unleash entrepreneurial zeal, leading to job creation. This tax respite will provide relief to the sector by increasing their cash flow.

These measures to strengthen the sector shall go a long way in building a robust economy thereby not only creating opportunities in the job sector but also fulfilling the Prime Ministers dream of 'Housing for all' by 2022 under the affordable segment.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has earmarked Rs. 1.48 lakh crores as railways’ total capital and development expenditure for 2018-19 (April-March). This is nearly 14 percent higher than the Rs 1.3 lakh crore Jaitley had set aside in the last financial year.

Jaitley in the last budget had announced the establishment of a Rashtriya Rail Sanraksha Kosh for passenger safety. The fund will have a corpus of Rs. 1 lakh crore over five years.

According to reports, the railways aims to end FY19 with an operating ratio of 93 percent, a 200 basis point improvement from 2017-18’s 95 percent.

Operating ratio is a measure of money spent to earn every rupee, and hence, the lower, the better. The railways no more announces its operating ratio, a practice it stopped last year when the Railway Budget was merged with the General Budget.
