The Union Cabinet approved a proposal on Wednesday to promulgate an ordinance that will allow hiking the cap on cess of SUVs, large, and luxury cars to 25 percent from 15 percent now.

The ordinance would come into effect after it receives Presidential assent, which will enable amendments in the GST (Compensation to State) Act, 2017. The Central Board of Excise and Customs will issue a formal notification on the raised cess cap.

“This was in pursuance of the last meeting of the GST Council”, finance minister Arun Jaitley told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

Two out of 12 categories of vehicles will be affected by the hike in the cess cap.

“Pursuant to the implementation of GST, the price of vehicles of had substantially come down. The cess was to be levied on large and luxury vehicles. The maximum taxation under GST is 28 percent. The cess cap has now been increased from 15 percent to 25 percent,” Jaitley said.

The GST council is now entitled to take a decision, when and by how much it decides to increase the cess. Therefore, an enabling Ordinance has been recommended to the government, the finance minister said.

Earlier this month, the Jaitley-headed GST (Goods and Services Tax) Council had recommended hiking the cap on cess on luxury cars and some SUVs, a decision that automobile companies fear would raise the price of these class of vehicles.

The higher cess is unlikely to come into effect before September 9, the next date for the GST Council’s meeting in Hyderabad.

In May, the Council decided to keep all cars in the highest tax slab of 28 percent. However, it was decided that a 15 percent ad valorem cess over and above the tax rate will be levied on large motor vehicles, SUVs, mid-segment, large, hybrid cars and hybrid motor vehicles. The revenue from the cess would then ultimately go to the compensation kitty of the states. The cap on this cess has now been increased to 25 percent.

Under GST, the states will receive provisional compensation from Centre for loss of revenue due to abolition of taxes such as VAT (value added tax), octroi and implementation of GST. The Council had decided that the compensation would be met through levy of a 'GST Compensation Cess' on luxury items and sin goods like tobacco, for the first five years.

The finance ministry's indirect tax policy making body CBEC (Central Board of Excise and Customs) has maintained that the change in cap was being made to keep the incidence of taxation similar to the pre-GST regime.

Topic :- Share Market Closing Note


Benchmark indices ended higher on Monday, gaining for a fourth consecutive session of gains with Nifty settling above 9,900, as index heavyweight Infosys surged on the first day of trading since the appointment of co-founder Nandan Nilekani as chairman on hopes that the move would help defuse a months-long row between the founders and the board.


Infosys shares ended 3% higher after earlier rising as much as 4.6% on hopes that the appointment would provide some much needed stability to the company that has been reeling since the shock resignation of Chief Executive Vishal Sikka, who waged an acrimonious battle with the founders for months over alleged corporate governance lapses.


Globally, European shares fell in a broad sell-off as the euro strengthened after ECB chief Mario Draghi did not express concern about a strong currency in a closely watched speech.

Worlds first diamond futures exchange starts trading in India:


The worlds first diamond futures exchange will begin trading in India on Monday, enabling companies in the largest producer of the cut and polished gems to better hedge price risks. 


Indian manufacturers most require this type of financial product, said Sanjit Prasad, managing director of the Indian Commodity Exchange Ltd. India carries the price risk of holding huge inventories of cut and polished and rough diamonds, he said. 


The exchange, backed by companies including Reliance Capital LtdBSE 2.24 %. and MMTC Ltd.BSE 1.26 %, will start trading in 1 carat/100 cent contracts and will eventually add 50 cent and 30 cent contracts, he said. The futures, two-and-a-half years in the making, followed talks with the Ministry of Finance and the Securities and Exchange Board of India, Prasad said. 


Indian diamond cutters polish about 14 of every 15 of the worlds gems and imported about 153 million carats of rough diamonds in the financial year ended Mar. 31. Polishers source their gems from De Beers, the worlds biggest diamond producer, and also through direct imports from some producing nations. 


Sellers will need to get the diamond certified by the De Beers-promoted International Institute of Diamond Grading and Research and will get credit in electronic form equivalent to the carat deposited, according to the exchange. The exchange has 20 large diamond companies including Rosy Blue (India) Pvt. Ltd. and Kiran Gems Pvt. Ltd. as members and expects about 45 sightholders of De Beers to transact on the exchange platform, Prasad said.

Bank of Baroda Aug Futs (Sell Below 158 with Stop Loss at 161 for Target of 152): The stock has been consolidating from the past four weeks and has finally broken down from a Rectangle pattern on the daily chart. Bank of Baroda has once again convincingly slipped below its long term 200-DMA, which further accentuates our short term bearish stance on the stock. Other oscillators also indicate that current weakness is likely to extend.

Global Economic News:

US GDP rebounds from sluggish start to year
US economic growth accelerated in the second quarter, rising 2.6%, up from the first quarter’s 1.2% pace. Economists had expected a slightly stronger rebound, and the bounce is well short of expectations from earlier in the quarter. Wage pressures remain muted as hopes for sustained faster growth fade, given that pro-growth policies from Washington are looking less likely by the day. Modest growth averaging around 2% looks to be in the cards again in 2017. This should keep the US Federal Reserve on a gradual rate-hiking path.

Fed signals it’s ready to cut balance sheet soon
In a statement released after Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting, the Fed indicated it is ready to begin trimming its balance sheet, which mushroomed in the wake of the global financial crisis. In a statement, the Fed said it expects to begin allowing some of its bond holdings to mature “relatively soon.” This is a shift from earlier language, released after the June FOMC meeting, that indicated a move by the end of the year. Many expect an announcement to come at the September FOMC meeting. The Fed held rates steady while acknowledging that inflation is running below its 2% target.

US health care push fizzles
Despite their effort being pronounced dead on several occasions, US Senate Republicans took up health care reform again this week after a dramatic return to the Capitol by Senator John McCain, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. Vice President Mike Pence broke a 50–50 tie to allow the Senate to begin debate on several Republican-sponsored legislative options. Ironically, McCain helped scuttle the final alternative, a “skinny repeal” bill that would have ended Obamacare’s individual mandate, among other provisions. Now that the health care bill has been defeated, Senate leaders hope to move on to tax reform and to passing a spending bill in order to avoid a government shutdown at the end of September.

Trump talks taxes
Amid a swirl of controversy, US president Donald Trump, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal this week, reiterated his desire to slash the US corporate tax rate to 15% from 35% while lowering the tax burden on the middle class. Additionally, Trump kept open the option of raising taxes on upper-income earners. The president did not rule out reappointing Fed chair Janet Yellen, but said that economic advisor Gary Cohn, former president of Goldman Sachs, is also under consideration for the post. In a press release on tax reform on Thursday, congressional leaders and administration officials agreed to table the border-adjustment tax that would have taxed US imports.  

Moody’s sees less China bank risk
Credit rating agency Moody’s has upgraded its outlook on the Chinese banking system to stable from negative. Moody's sees receding concerns over China’s massive shadow banking sector following action from regulators to curb systemic imbalances. It also expects nonperforming loans to stabilize near current levels.

GLOBAL CORPORATE NEWS

According to Thomson Reuters I/E/B/S, with 48% of the members of the S&P 500 Index reporting, second-quarter earnings are expected to rise 10.7% versus Q2 2016. Excluding the energy sector, the rise is 8%. Revenues are expected to climb 4.9%. Excluding energy, a 4.1% earnings rise is expected.


Greece returns to bond market after three-year hiatus
Having recently secured another bailout tranche from European creditors, Greece returned to the bond markets with a €3 billion five-year offering, which was more than two times oversubscribed. Greece is the rare sovereign that issues sovereign debt at a higher yield than some Greek corporates. The new issue yields 4.65% versus some recently issued corporate debt with a 3.1% yield. The extra yield reflects the political risk posed by Greece’s relatively market-unfriendly Syriza government.

While market-wide rollovers were in line with three-month average, Nifty rollovers were relatively lower than the previous three series. Nifty Open Interest is also at a calendar-year low as foreign investors The outlook is a subdued start. Global cues are mixed. While the Dow gained, the S&P and Nasdaq settled lower. Quarterly results are bringing in some swings and for the day numbers of Larsen & Toubro, Escorts and India Cements are scheduled. Investors will prefer to wait and watch before taking the plunge as the RBI policy meet takes place next week. The mid-cap segment, which has been defying gravity continues to soar higher.

Business Growth Outlook

The PSL management expects Q4FY2017 to be strong, as it has acquired new logos for its digital business. Further, the recent partnership with Dell Boomi will drive its digital business going ahead.  The company has successfully completed the transition of the IBM IOT business and could be able to take the entire team into its Board. The management foresees traction in this IBM CE/CLM product and expects a strong growth in FY2018; for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the partnership has fallen short of its revenue target of $50 million (contributed $48 million; the management expects some contribution to come by the end of FY2017).  Digital, Alliance and Accelerite will continue to deliver sustainable growth in the coming years. The management stated that the Services segment (43.9% of total revenue in Q3FY2017) has bottomed out and believes this business may do well in the coming quarters (for Q4FY2017, the management has indicated it could trim some tail-end clients).

Key Points:

Persistent Systems (PSL) delivered better-than-expected revenue growth of 3.6% QoQ at $113 million during Q1FY2018, led by a 2.4% QoQ growth in IP-led revenue and a 3.6% QoQ growth (1.8% QoQ growth in volume and 2.2% QoQ increase in realisations) in IT Services. However, the company delivered lower-than-expected EBITDA margin at 14.3% (down 357BPS QoQ), due to the appreciation of the rupee (120BPS), higher onsite revenue mix, investments in partnerships (90BPS), lower offshore utilisations (40BPS), visa and acquisition expenses (70BPS), investments in sales team (30BPS) and provision of debts (40BPS), partially offset by higher revenue from IP-Led business. Forex gains increased to Rs 18.5 crore (vs negative Rs 2.8 crore in Q4FY2017), resulting in a 3.2% QoQ growth in the adjusted net profit at Rs75.1 crore.

Revenue drivers are intact, but margins to improve gradually:

The management remains optimistic on the prospects of acceleration of its revenue growth going ahead. This is on the back of strong traction in the IOT business, a healthy pipeline of deals in the digital space, deal closures of the reseller contract for IBM IOT solutions, good response for its IP products and strengthening of partnerships with USAA and Partners Healthcare for digital offerings. Further, the company has closed three deals (one deal in India for the legislative assembly of the State of Madhya Pradesh and two deals in USA) in the Service vertical, which is expected to sustain the growth momentum. The management believes that the traction in growth in the service segment will be mainly on account of its strong focus on large and strategic accounts as well as higher adoption of digital technologies in the Enterprise. On margin front, It expects improvement from Q2FY18 onwards despite high investments in sales team, higher onsite mix and developing global delivery centres. The management highlighted the key levers for the margins improvement are (1) higher revenue from IP-Led business, (2) improvement in profitability in IBM Watson, (3) cost control measures.

Acquisition of PARX to strengthen its presence in Europe:

PSL has agreed to acquire ParxWerk AG to strengthen its presence in the European region (5.9% of total revenue as of June 30, 2017) as part of its global expansion strategies. PSL will initially pay CHF 8.5 million (~Rs 58 crore) and will pay an additional CHF 7.5 million (Rs 51 crore) over three years depending on performance. PARX reported revenue of CHF 8 million (~Rs 54 crore) for CY2016. As Parx is a certified partner of Salesforce, we believe this acquisition would provide opportunities to PSL to cross-sell its products.

Outlook and valuation:

We have tweaked estimates for FY2018/FY2019 due to below-than-expected Q1FY18 margin performance and higher onsite mix. We believe there could be pressure to profitability in near-term owing to currency headwinds, shifting from effort-based business model and macro uncertainties. In long term, however, we continue to remain positive on PSL, as the company has been continuously focusing on strengthening its digital capabilities to remain relevant to customers in the ongoing IT industry transition. PSL’s stock price has already gained close to 16% in last three months, we do not see major upside from current levels owing to weak margin performance. Hence, we downgrade our rating on PSL from ‘Buy’ and ‘Hold’ with a target of Rs700.
