India's GDP growth expected to be 8.8-9% in FY22: Care Ratings

The agency said the outlook for the Indian economy on almost agency said outlook for the Indian economy on almost all counts in FY22 would look seemingly better than FY21 on account of the negative base effect.

The country's gross domestic product (GDP) growth is likely to be 8.8 to 9 percent in the current financial year, driven by agriculture and industry sectors, Care Ratings said in a report.

The country's economy had contracted by 7.3 percent in fiscal 2020-21.

The agency said the outlook for the Indian economy on almost all counts in FY22 would look seemingly better than FY21 on account of the negative base effect.

"GDP growth for the year (FY22) is expected to be 8.8-9 percent with GVA (gross value added) growth of 7.8 percent. The main drivers of the economy would be agriculture and industry," the rating agency said in its Economic Outlook for 2021-22.

The services sector will not be able to reach its potential even at 8.2 percent growth as the second lockdown has affected sectors like hotels and restaurants, tourism, retail malls and entertainment, in particular, it said.

While a lot has been done on the supply side by both the RBI and the government, the malaise is on the demand side which has been a problem even before the pandemic, Care Ratings pointed out.

A critical factor this time will be the spending pattern of the rural households, the report said, adding that the monsoon forecast is good and ideally a stable Kharif harvest should bode well for rural incomes.

There could be some pent-up demand which surfaces this time too from urban India, but it may just about maintain the level of last year and not really be a breakthrough.

"Higher consumption should stimulate investments. The crux will be an investment which has a multiplier effect on demand and investment," it said.

The report also said the fiscal deficit for FY22 is projected between Rs 17.38 lakh crore to Rs 17.68 lakh crore.

"For a nominal GDP of Rs 222.9 lakh crore, the increase in quantum of the fiscal deficit would potentially push up the fiscal deficit ratio to 7.8-7.9 percent of GDP," the report said.

It also said the cost of services has increased across all components, which combined with the fuel-led impact would keep CPI (consumer price index-based inflation) elevated at around 6 percent by March-end.

Wholesale price index-based inflation will be in double digits mainly due to the low base effect as well as rising global commodity prices.

"Given the high inflation numbers witnessed so far and our expectation of CPI inflation to remain elevated, it does not look likely that there can be any rate cut at least in the 2021 calendar year," the agency said.

It also expects the non-performing assets (NPAs) of banks to be at 10-10.5 percent for March 2022.

The current account will turn into a deficit this year with a higher trade deficit and stable invisible flows, it said.

"We do expect a deficit of 0.5-1 percent of GDP in FY2021-22," it said. The report further said FPI flows to the country would be lower than last year and be in the region of USD 18-22 billion.

It estimates the country's foreign exchange reserves to be around USD 620-630 billion by March end.

The Centre on Monday reduced the import duty on Masur dal to zero and also halved the Agriculture Infrastructure Development Cess on the lentil to 10 per cent, in a bid to boost domestic supply and check rising prices.

A notification in this regard was tabled in the Rajya Sabha by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The Minister said that the basic customs duty has been reduced from 10 percent to nil on lentils (masoor dal) originated in or exported from countries other than the US.

India Grains and Pulses Association (IGPA) Vice Chairman Bimal Kothari had early this month said, "India annually needs 25 million tonnes of pulses. But this year, we are expecting a shortage."

The government had introduced the Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) on certain items, including petrol, diesel, gold, and some imported agricultural products, this fiscal in a bid to boost agriculture infrastructure.

Dear keyboard warriors, your future employer is watching

24. July 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

Social media posts of candidates, be it personal or professional, are now the first on the list for scrutiny by prospective employers.

"I will definitely not take the COVID-19 vaccine no matter what. Will not let our body get injected with unknown chemicals". This was a tweet by 25-year-old Trisha Gupta on May 1, the day when India opened up COVID-19 vaccination to every citizen above the age of 18 years. Gupta had almost forgotten about this tweet but was promptly reminded of it during her job interview on May 24.

"The first question the interview panel asked me was the reasons behind this tweet. They also wanted to know my views on unvaccinated staff being barred entry into workplaces. I was dumbfounded because I didn't realize that this would be noticed," says Gupta who had applied to multiple companies for a software analyst role.

While her job application process is still under review, Gupta realized that she couldn't get away with tweeting anything in the future.

'Keyboard warriors' is a term used to refer to highly-opinionated individuals who speak their minds online on social media. Nothing wrong with it, except that companies are now taking notice.

The very first thing that is being scrutinized by the hiring managers at Indian workplaces is whether the candidate is active on social media; if yes, what do they post about.

Personal posts about daily life including life updates or views about celebrities/films/television shows are largely ignored. However, posts badmouthing individuals or organizations are taken note of.

For instance, you have quite an employer on a bitter note or could have been treated unfairly. There is a thin line between what is acceptable and what isn't. Increasingly, recruiters prefer employment issues to be handled offline one-on-one or legally rather than on social media.

This is especially true of sensitive cases like sexual harassment or caste-based discrimination at workplaces. On one hand, posting about it online will help draw wider attention to the matter but may also turn away job offers.

Recruiters say that at the core of it, what corporates are looking for is whether the candidate shows signs of irrational and/or violent behavior, racism, casteism, misogyny, religious animosity, and views towards the LGBTQ community.

Your personal views may not lead to a job rejection but be prepared to answer tough questions.

Digital marketing professional Senthil Kumar often posted on his Facebook timeline about the wage gap being a myth and how women were given an unfair advantage at workplaces.

Ironically, his interviewer for a similar position at a fintech firm was a woman. And, the first question was about this post and on what basis he had formed this opinion.

"I was eventually hired for the job but I was quizzed thoroughly about my social media posts. During the interview, the interviewer presented data from various companies to show that the wage gap among genders wasn't a myth. I just posted something without putting much thought but I guess these things are being noticed by recruiters," he said.

Kumar's case was not of a serious nature and only pointed to a lack of awareness on this matter.

But, explicit messages with obscene content and/or open call for violence against a group, persons would land you in trouble. While you could be booked under cyber laws for online harassment, it could also cost a job.

Recruitment managers are cognizant of the fact that there is a risk of the brand reputation getting hampered if candidates with past history of online hatred and trolling are hired.

Even liking or retweeting such views would prove costly, as Danica D'Costa realized.

"I had liked and retweeted a series of tweets which included caricatures of some prominent politicians. I took it as a joke but the prospective employer wasn't convinced that it was satire," said D'Costa.

While the company where she interviewed for a financial analyst told her that she wasn't qualified enough for the profile, D'Costa says that she met all the requirements and the sole reason for rejection is her social media views.

In a vibrant democracy, the share of views online is part and parcel of the system. But with changing dynamics about social media content and allied regulations, employers want to err on the side of caution.

How to Transfer Demat Account Shares from One Broker to Another?

20. July 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

Demat accounts have completely transformed the stock market in India. Shares were traded earlier in the form of paper certificates and were very difficult for investors to preserve and trade in them. With the dematerialization of securities, the trading mechanism was electrified, and stock trading became relatively easier.

How to Transfer Demat Account Shares from One Broker to Another?

Demat accounts are opened on depositories through depository participants or DPS. There are two depositories in India namely NSDL and CDSL. Depository participants are participating members of depositories who are authorized for opening and managing Demat accounts of clients. There are hundreds of depository participants available and an investor can choose any one depending on the facilities and charges.

However, once you have your Demat account in place and you start trading, there are chances that you can get a better Demat account from another depository participant or your current DP is not proving you the services as promised. In such a case, you will surely look forward to changing your Demat account. Opening a new Demat account is relatively easy but transferring your holdings from your old Demat account to a new one is not.

Let us now discuss the ways and steps of transferring your stocks and holdings from one Demat account to another.

Transferring Holdings

There can be various reasons for transferring your holdings from one Demat account to another. You have multiple Demat accounts and want to merge all your holdings into one, or it can be the other way around, you want to segregate your holdings into multiple accounts. Whatever be the reason, there can be two types of transfers that are possible – Inter-depository transfer and intra-depository transfer.

Intra-Depository Transfer - Your current Demat account was with NSDL and your new Demat account is on CDSL or vice versa. Now you want to transfer your holdings between two different depositories. Such a transfer is known as inter–depository transfer.
Inter-Depository Transfer - This is relatively easy because your old Demat account and new Demat account are both with the same depository. Such a transfer of holdings is known as intra – depository transfer. Now, you can transfer your securities from one Demat account to a new Demat account using a manual offline method or an online method. Let us now discuss both of them in detail.

Manual (Offline) method

The manual method for transferring holdings from one Demat to another requires some paperwork. The first and foremost step is to obtain the DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) from your broker. Once you have the DIS, you need to obtain the BOID (Beneficiary Owner ID) number. This is a 16-digit number that serves as an ID of your broker. SO, there will be two different BO IDs, first for your old Demat provider and the second one for the new one.

Once you have all these sorted, you need to have the ISIN (International Security Identification Number) of each share that you want to transfer. Now if both your Demat accounts are with the same depository you need to choose the off-market transfer option, else it will be an inter-depository transfer.

Once you have accumulated all the information, you need to fill up the transfer form available with your broker and provide your consent signature. The signature should match with the one which you provided at the time of opening the Demat account.

If you are closing the old account, the broker will not charge any fee for this transfer otherwise the broker may charge you some amount as a transfer fee.

Online Method

The CDSL has introduced an online method for transferring securities known as EASIEST. As the name suggests it is an easy process to transfer your holdings from one Demat account to another.

You simply need to register yourself on the CDSL website under the EASIEST option by providing all the requisite details. AT the end of the registration you will come across a form with all the details. All you need to do is to take a printout of the form and submit it to your depository participant. The depository participant will send it to the depository, which will approve it after verification of the details. Once the information is verified, you will receive an email containing your login credentials.

You can now use these credentials to log in to the EASIEST portal. Once you have logged in you will see a list of all the depository participants. You can select your broker from the list and transfer your holdings and securities.

Tax Implications

Since the securities are transferred between two different Demat accounts of the same person, there are no extra tax implications on such transfers. However, the Capital Gain Tax for such securities will be calculated from the first day of the purchase of stock and will be unaffected by the transfer.

Conclusion

Transferring securities in dematerialized form is an easy process and investors can transfer their securities if they wish to change their Demat account for any reason. If you want more help an investment advisor can guide you with the process of transfer and also help you in trading by providing research-based trade recommendations.

Happy Investing!

CII calls for creation of a 'pandemic pool' to manage risks on long-term basis

19. July 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

http://sharetipsinfo.comJust get registered at Sharetipsinfo and earn positive returns

CII said that although on an aggregate, insurance companies have been able to withstand losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the total capital available with them is less than the capital required to absorb those losses.

Industry body Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has urged for a creation of a pandemic pool as the devastating impact of the COVID-19 crisis has made financial, administrative, and social systems fragile and vulnerable.

CII said that a majority of the pandemic-related risks have been covered by insurance companies in the form of life and health claims.

However, the interruptions and halt in the economic machinery could not be covered by insurance companies in most countries as the loss due to the peril of state-imposed lockdown has not been an explicit inclusive clause in the standard insurance contracts, CII said.

It further noted that although on an aggregate, insurance companies have been able to withstand losses caused by the pandemic, the total capital available with them is less than the capital required to absorb those losses.

"CII, therefore, urges all stakeholders to recognize the significance of having a dynamic pandemic pool which is governed by the availability of capital and modeled for greater capacity, to ensure the long-term viability of the risk management solution which is critical for a high impact-low frequency risk like a pandemic," it said.

Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII, said: “The Government of India along with financial regulators including Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) have been working relentlessly on supporting the lives and livelihood by announcing various reform measures, products (corona kavach) and packages during the pandemic."

CII said that some initial financial support from the government would be required, which could gradually be reduced to near-zero levels as the pool becomes self-sufficient with accumulated surpluses over a period of 12-15 years.

"This is the opportune time for India to have the first-mover advantage in the creation of the pandemic pool with a two-pronged strategy of going beyond the insurers and government by inviting international reinsurers to supplement capital contribution for the pool and to incentivize state governments to participate with additional supplementary capital for greater protection to their denizens," he added.

Suggesting three points in order to raise capital for the pandemic pool, CII said that Pandemic Bonds in the form of risk-linked securities could be considered to raise at least 5 percent capacity or pool limit. It also said that insurance companies can issue bonds through special-purpose vehicles another suggestion is to have a larger private partnership and to tap capital beyond the insurance and reinsurance industry by including contribution or premium paid to the pool as eligible CSR expenditure, CII noted.

Lastly, it also suggested a GST waiver on the premium collection of the pool, similar to other government-backed schemes in order to encourage enhanced contribution from individuals and businesses to be covered under it.
