Studds Accessories IPO gets SEBI approval
Studds Accessories Ltd, manufacturer of helmets and two-wheeler accessories, has received markets regulator Sebi’s approval to float an initial share sale.

The company, which had filed its draft papers with the markets regulator in August seeking its clearance for the initial public offer (IPO), obtained Sebi’s observations on December 14, latest data with the capital markets watchdog showed.

Sebi’s observations are necessary for any company to launch public issues like initial public offer, follow-on public offer and rights issue.

Studds Accessories’ IPO comprises fresh issuance of shares worth ₹98 crore besides an offer-for-sale of 39.39 lakh equity shares by promoters Madhu Bhushan Khurana and Sidhartha Bhushan Khurana, and other existing shareholders, according to the draft papers.

With IPO market dried up, SEBI asks bankers to price it right
The capital markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday voiced concern over the slow pace of primary issues, despite a good market condition, and asked investment bankers to do more "diligence" on the pricing front to get investors in. Chairman Ajay Tyagi said Sebi has given the go-ahead to initial public offers (IPOs) worth over Rs 60,000 crore in 2018, but many of them are yet to hit the street. Till October end, 24 companies raised Rs 30,959 crore through IPOs but most this been in the March quarter.

Last year was the best in terms of IPO fund raising, as the IPO market jumped to an all-time record of Rs 67,147.4 crore in fresh fund raising by over 120 companies, according to data from Prime Database.

When asked if the issue is pricing, he asked i-bankers to do more "diligence" while setting a price that will be acceptable to both the issuers as well as investors.

"Merchant bankers have a role to see that an issue is reasonably priced and which is acceptable to both issuers and investors," Tyagi said.

The Sebi chief seemed to suggest that domestic market conditions are better as compared to global peers, with firm macroeconomic fundamentals and said the rupee fall has also been arrested.

SEBI pushes to lower IPO Listing timeline to T+3 days
IndianIPOBlog has learnt that SEBI haa lowered IPO listing timeline to T+3 from current T+6

SEBI chairman Ajay Tyagi announced the decision in a press conference after a board meeting in Mumbai.

Currently, a company has to wait for six days after the closure of IPO to get listed on exchanges. The new regulation is expected to further bring down investors exposure to market volatility.

"We have been able to bring down the issue timing from T+12 to T+6 and I would like to mention that all of us have to start working now to further reduce the issue timing," Sebi chairman UK Sinha had said while addressing the annual capital market conference by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry in October 2016.

IndianIPOBlog MF: Too many schemes in Mutual Funds do not necessarily mean diversification

IndianIPOBlog MF: Too many schemes in Mutual Funds do not necessarily mean diversification
Diversification: The word that most investing schools and experts would tell you for mitigating market risks. However, it has to be understood that diversification in mutual funds is different from that in stocks

In general, diversifying your portfolio is always a good idea. This does not however mean, that there is need to add many funds into the portfolio. One large-cap fund is sufficient in any portfolio, and even an index-tracking fund would be an added buffer. However, abruptly selected funds will keep your portfolio as a high-risk portfolio with sporadically selected funds. 

Thematic funds for instance, need care and understanding of time of entry and exit along with active tracking. Most investors do not have either of these and still choose to opt for thematic funds consequently resulting in meagre returns

Many investors have this notion in mind that if they own all types of mutual funds in their portfolio, then diversification is achieved and risk will be mitigated. What happens in these types of portfolios is that effectively your capital is so dispersed that any significantly market beating returns in one or two good funds are offset by muted returns in other funds in your basket, and the end result is that you do not get effective return on the overall portfolio

Although the composition of your portfolio would depend on a lot of factors like risk appetite, aggression as well as your age, diversification needs to be smart and dynamic when it comes to mutual funds and not necessarily mean owning many funds

Creditaccess Grameen IPO opens - Should you apply? Brokerage Analysts Recommendations

Creditaccess Grameen IPO opens - Should you apply? Brokerage Analysts Recommendations
Brokerage recommendations for Creditaccess Grameen IPO

Antique Broking
Recommends ‘Avoid’.
Geographic concentration, lack of technology and people, and its inability to offer beyond joint lending group loans raises questions on long-term competitive positioning.
Valuations do not leave investors with much margin of safety.

Emkay Global
Recommends ‘Avoid’.
Valuations doesn’t justify adherent business risks and low returns on equity.

SMC Global
Recommends ‘Subscribe’.
While 11.8 percent return on equity for 2017-18 is still sub-optimal compared to some of the large MFIs, the valuation adequately captures this and any improvement in the return on equity will aid further valuations.

Prabhudas Lilladher
Recommends ‘Subscribe’ for long term.
Expensive valuations and high business concentration risks are key deterrents
Improvement of return on equity is crucial
Listing gains may be limited.

Soon you may be able to apply IPOs using UPI!
Finding making IPO applications a task? Applying through normal ASBA methods may be history if all goes well as per SEBI's plan

The market regulator is planning to introduce an alternative payment mechanism in initial public offers for retail investorsas it aims to speed up the listing process.

The regulator intends to allow the use of Unified Payments Interface (UPI), a mobilebased real-time payment system that enables instant transfer of funds from one bank account to another, to reduce the paperwork for intermediaries during IPOs.

“Once UPI is implemented, there will be no need for physical movement of application forms from broker to bank and the need for verification of investors’ signature will be eliminated. Investor will confirm to the bank to block the funds through his mobile phone,” the regulatory official said

SEBI asks HDFC AMC to cancel pre-IPO share sale
HDFC Asset Management has been directed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to refund the money collected from distributors and advisers for its pre-IPO share sale

HDFC AMC filed for the approval of its IPO in March. Its draft red herring prospectus mentioned that it may allot close to 7.2 lakh shares to its distributors, a move that SEBI did not allow. The fund house then went for a private placement with the said distributors

Tax on Long Term Capital Gains - FAQs

February 05, 2018 0
Tax on Long Term Capital Gains - FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding taxation of long-term capital gains proposed in Finance Bill, 2018

Under the existing regime, long term capital gains arising from transfer of long term capital assets, being equity shares of a company or a unit of equity oriented fund or a unit of business trust, is exempt from income-tax under clause (38) of section 10 of the Act.

However, transactions in such long-term capital assets are liable to securities transaction tax (STT). Consequently, this regime is inherently biased against manufacturing and has encouraged diversion of investment to financial assets. It has also led to significant erosion in the tax base resulting in revenue loss. The problem has been further compounded by abusive use of tax arbitrage opportunities created by these exemptions.

2. In order to minimise economic distortions and curb erosion of tax base, it is proposed to withdraw the exemption under clause (38) of section 10 and to introduce a new section 112A in the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’) vide clause 31 of the Finance Bill, 2018 so as to provide that long-term capital gains arising from transfer of such long-term capital asset exceeding one lakh rupees will be taxed at a concessional rate of 10 percent.

3. Since the introduction of the Finance Bill, 2018 on 1st February, 2018, several querieshave been raised in different fora on various issues relating to the proposed new tax regime for taxation of long-term capital gains. The responses to these queries are provided below.

Q 1. What is the meaning of long term capital gains under the new tax regime forlong term capital gains?

Ans 1. Long term capital gains mean gains arising from the transfer of long-term capital asset. The Finance Bill, 2018 proposes to provide for a new long-term capital gains tax regime for the following assets–

i. Equity Shares in a company listed on a recognised stock exchange;
ii. Unit of an equity oriented fund; and
iii. Unit of a business trust.

The proposed regime applies to the above assets, if
a. assets are held for a minimum period of twelve months from the date of acquisition; and
b. the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is paid at the time of transfer. However,
in the case of equity shares acquired after 1.10.2004, STT is required to be
paid even at the time of acquisition (subject to notified exemptions).

Q 2. What are the modes of acquisition of equity shares which are proposed to be
exempted from the condition of payment of STT?
Ans 2. The Central Government had exempted certain modes of acquisition of equity shares for the purposes of clause (38) of section 10 of the Act vide notification no. 43/2017 dated 5th of June, 2017. This notification is proposed to be reiterated for the purposes of clause 31 of the Finance Bill, 2018 after its enactment.

Q 3. What is the point of chargeability of the tax?
Ans 3. The tax will be levied only upon transfer of the long-term capital asset on or after 1st April, 2018, as defined in clause (47) of section 2 of the Act.

Q 4. What is the method for calculation of long-term capital gains?
Ans 4. The long-term capital gains will be computed by deducting the cost of acquisition
from the full value of consideration on transfer of the long-term capital asset.

Q 5. How do we determine the cost of acquisition for assets acquired on or before 31st January, 2018?
Ans 5. The cost of acquisition for the long-term capital asset acquired on or before 31st of January, 2018 will be the actual cost. However, if the actual cost is less than the fair market value of such asset as on 31st of January, 2018, the fair market value will be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.

Further, if the full value of consideration on transfer is less than the fair market
value, then such full value of consideration or the actual cost, whichever is higher, will be deemed to be the cost of acquisition.

Q 6. How will the fair market value be determined?
Ans 6. In case of a listed equity share or unit, the fair market value means the highest price of such share or unit quoted on a recognized stock exchange on 31st of January, 2018.
However, if there is no trading on 31st January, 2018, the fair market value will be the highest price quoted on a date immediately preceding 31st of January, 2018, on which it has been traded

In the case of unlisted unit, the net asset value of such unit on 31st of January,
2018 will be the fair market value.

Q 7. Please provide illustrations for computing long-term capital gains in different scenarios, in the light of answers to questions 5 and 6.
Ans 7. The computation of long-term capital gains in different scenarios is illustrated as under -
Scenario 1 – An equity share is acquired on 1st of January, 2017 at Rs. 100, its fair market value is Rs. 200 on 31st of January, 2018 and it is sold on 1st of April, 2018 at Rs. 250.

As the actual cost of acquisition is less than the fair market value as on 31st of
January, 2018, the fair market value of Rs. 200 will be taken as the cost of acquisition and the long-term capital gain will be Rs. 50 (Rs. 250 – Rs. 200).

Scenario 2 – An equity share is acquired on 1st of January, 2017 at Rs. 100, its fair market value is Rs. 200 on 31st of January, 2018 and it is sold on 1st of April, 2018 at Rs. 150.

In this case, the actual cost of acquisition is less than the fair market value as on
31st of January, 2018. However, the sale value is also less than the fair market
value as on 31st of January, 2018. Accordingly, the sale value of Rs. 150 will be taken as the cost of acquisition and the long-term capital gain will be NIL (Rs. 150 – Rs. 150).

Scenario 3 – An equity share is acquired on 1st of January, 2017 at Rs. 100, its fair market value is Rs. 50 on 31st of January, 2018 and it is sold on 1st of April, 2018 at Rs. 150.

In this case, the fair market value as on 31st of January, 2018 is less than the actual cost of acquisition, and therefore, the actual cost of Rs. 100 will be taken as actual cost of acquisition and the long-term capital gain will be Rs. 50 (Rs. 150 – Rs. 100).

Scenario 4 – An equity share is acquired on 1st of January, 2017 at Rs. 100, its fair market value is Rs. 200 on 31st of January, 2018 and it is sold on 1st of April, 2018 at Rs. 50.

In this case, the actual cost of acquisition is less than the fair market value as on
31st January, 2018. The sale value is less than the fair market value as on 31st of
January, 2018 and also the actual cost of acquisition. Therefore, the actual cost of
Rs. 100 will be taken as the cost of acquisition in this case. Hence, the long-termcapital loss will be Rs. 50 (Rs. 50 – Rs. 100) in this case.

Q8. Whether the cost of acquisition will be inflation indexed?
Ans 8. Sub-clause (5) of clause 31 of the Finance Bill, 2018, inter alia, provides that the long-term capital gain will be computed without giving effect to the provisions of the second provisos of section 48. Accordingly, it is clarified that the benefit of inflation indexation of the cost of acquisition would not be available for computing long-term capital gains under the new tax regime.

Q 9. What is the date of commencement of the proposed new tax regime?
Ans 9. The proposed new tax regime will apply to transfer made on or after 1st April, 2018. The existing regime providing exemption under clause (38) of section 10 of the Act will continue to be available for transfer made on or before 31st March, 2018.

Q 10. What will be the tax treatment of accrued gains upto 31st January 2018?
Ans 10. As the fair market value on 31st January, 2018 will be taken as cost of acquisition (except in some typical situations explained in Ans 7.), the gains accrued upto 31stJanuary, 2018 will continue to be exempt.

Q 11. What will be the tax treatment of transfer of share or unit between 1
st February 2018 to 31st March 2018?
Ans 11. As replied in answer 9, the new tax regime will be applicable to transfer made on or after 1st April, 2018, the transfer made between 1st February, 2018 and 31stMarch, 2018 will be eligible for exemption under clause (38) of section 10 of the Act.

Q 12. What will be the tax treatment of transfer made on or after 1
st April 2018?
Ans 12. The long-term capital gains exceeding Rs. 1 Lakh arising from transfer of these asset made on after 1st April, 2018 will be taxed at 10 per cent.

However, there will be no tax on gains accrued upto 31st January, 2018 as explained in Ans 10.

Q13. What is the date from which the holding period will be counted?
Ans 13. The holding period will be counted from the date of acquisition.

Q 14. Whether tax will be deducted at source in case of gains by resident tax payer?
Ans 14. No. There will be no deduction of tax at source from the payment of long-term capital gains to a resident tax payer.

Q 15. Whether tax will be deducted at source in case of payment of long-term capital gains by non-resident tax payer (other than a Foreign Institutional Investor)?
Ans 15. Ordinarily, under section 195 of the Act, tax is required to be deducted on
payments made to non-residents, at the rates prescribed in Part-II of the First Schedule to the Finance Act. The rate of deduction in the case of capital gains is
also provided therein. In terms of the said provisions, tax at the rate of 10 per cent. will be deducted from payment of long-term capital gains to a non-resident
tax payer (other than a ForeignInstitutional Investor). The capital gains will be required to be computed in accordance with clause 31 of the Finance Bill, 2018.

Q 16. Whether tax will be deducted at source in case of payment of long-term capital gains by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)?
Ans 16. No. There will be no deduction of tax at source from payment of long-term capital
gains to a Foreign Institutional Investor in view of the provisions of sub-section (2)
of section 196D of the Act.

Q17. How will the gains in the case of FIIs be determined?
Ans 17. The long-term capital gains in case of FIIs will be determined in the same manner
as explained in earlier answers in the case of resident tax payers.

Q 18. What will be the treatment of the gains accrued upto 31st January 2018 in the case of FIIs?
Ans 18. In case of FIIs also, there will be no tax on gains accrued upto 31st January, 2018 as explained in Ans 10.

Q 19. What will be the tax treatment of transfer of share or unit between 1st February 2018 to 31st March 2018 in the case of FIIs?
Ans 19. As explained in Ans 11, in case of FIIs also, the transfer made between 1st
February, 2018 and 31st March, 2018 will be eligible for exemption under clause
(38) of section 10 of the Act.

Q 20. What will be the tax treatment of transfer made on or after 1st April 2018 in case of FIIs?
Ans 20. As explained in Ans 12, in case of FIIs also, the long-term capital gains exceeding Rs. 1 Lakh arising from transfer of these asset made on after 1st April, 2018 will be taxed at 10 per cent. However, there will be no tax on gains accrued upto 31stJanuary, 2018 as explained in Ans 10.

Q21. What will be the cost of acquisition in the case of bonus shares acquired before1st February 2018?
Ans 21. The cost of acquisition of bonus shares acquired before 31st January, 2018 will be determined as per sub-clause (6) of clause 31 of the Finance Bill, 2018. Therefore, the fair market value of the bonus shares as on 31st January, 2018 will be taken as cost of acquisition (except in some typical situations explained in Ans 7), and hence, the gains accrued upto 31st January, 2018 will continue to be exempt

Q 22. What will be the cost of acquisition in the case of right share acquired before 1st February 2018?
Ans 22. The cost of acquisition of right share acquired before 31st January, 2018 will be determined as per sub-clause (6) of clause 31 of the Finance Bill, 2018. Therefore, the fair market value of right share as on 31st January, 2018 will be taken as cost of acquisition (except in some typical situations explained in Ans 7), and hence, the gains accrued upto 31st January, 2018 will continue to be exempt.

Q 23. What will be the treatment of long-term capital loss arising from transfer made between 1st February, 2018 and 31st March, 2018?
Ans 23. As the exemption from long-term capital gains under clause (38) of section 10 will be available for transfer made between 1st February, 2018 and 31st March, 2018, the long-term capital loss arising during this period will not be allowed to be set￾off or carried forward.

Q 24. What will be the treatment of long-term capital loss arising from transfer made on or after 1st April, 2018?
Ans 24. Long-term capital loss arising from transfer made on or after 1st April, 2018 will be allowed to be set-off and carried forward in accordance with existing provisions of the Act.

Understanding Grandfathering concept under LTCG tax

Understanding Grandfathering concept under LTCG tax



Mr. Jaitley in his budget speech mentioned grandfathering as a concept with reference to computation of Long Term Capital Gain on which he has introduced tax at 10 percent
However there can be lot of confusion with respect to this concept. Let's understand this concept simply

If you bought any share last year (and not completed 1 year) - your revised cost will be yesterday high price and not actual price. So LTCG will be applicable at price what u sell from now on compared with revised cost on 31st Jan


Understanding LTCG Tax under Grandfathering concept with simple example

Suppose you buy Stock A at Rs 100 on 31Jan 2017 or before

High of stock (not closing price) on 31Jan 2018 = Rs 220

You sell Stock A at Rs 240 on 1st Feb 2018 or after

Your Tax Liability = Rs 20/share (10%) if total profit is higher than 1 lakh

It would be interesting to see whether the FM would want to toy with any thoughts on the introduction of inheritance tax, especially after two of the biggest initiatives of DeMo and GST.
