What could be a silver lining in this Covid Budget | Economic Times

People will be interested to see if the government comes out with actual borrowing figures, this time, says Sandip Sabharwal, analyst, asksandipsabharwal.com Budget has been prone to being a non-event for the markets. The expectations this time are low and the prime minister himself has talked about how we have had four mini Budgets over 2020 alluding to a slew of incremental reforms that the government has tried to put in place through the year. What could be the silver lining this time around?The allocations to capital expenditure should increase but the fact of the matter is that in terms of fiscal deficit per se, we need to look at figures. This year, the government is expected to borrow around Rs 11.5 crore which is almost 4 lakh crore more than what they did last year. With the improvement in growth, tax revenues, etc, the expected borrowing is expected to be Rs 2 lakh crore more than what it was in 2019-20. As normalcy returns, as extraordinary liquidity of the RBI gets removed,...

Is it now time for LIC to invest in startups? | Economic Times

New Delhi: Despite regulatory curbs, Indian startups continue to receive 85% of their funding from overseas investors. The government wants to change that.First, the government tweaked the country’s FDI policy so as to limit Chinese investments into India amid border skirmishes. Now, it has started deliberations on allowing domestic pension and insurance funds to invest in startups to give them access to stable, long-term capital, ET reported on 28 January.This, however, isn’t the first time such an idea has been mooted, but industry watchers say now is the right time for Indian institutional investors to become stakeholders in India’s startup story and set the tone for growth for the next decade.Flipping StartupsThat Indian startups are operating here but registering themselves in international hubs such as Singapore and the US for growth capital has caused alarm in the government. “Flipping”, as the practice is known in industry parlance, helps investors in these markets reduce time ...

Crypto bill puts industry in a state of panic | Economic Times

Mumbai: Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and industry leaders are hitting the panic button as the government prepares to outlaw trade in private e-money ahead of the potential launch of India’s official digital currency.On Friday, the Centre announced that it will introduce the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021, in the ongoing budget session. It is aimed at paving the way for eventual introduction of digital money by the country’s central bank at a time when China is testing a version of its digital yuan. Industry mavens, who welcome the government’s move, remain concerned with the provision seeking to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies, while allowing certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology. “We believe these are two important and distinct subjects,” said Naveen Surya, chairman emeritus at Payments Council of India. While bringing in a central bank digital currency could be a tool for expansion of the digital payment industry, “bannin...

5 expectations of individuals from Budget 2021 | Economic Times

All eyes are on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as she will be presenting the Union Budget 2021 today, i.e., February 1. There is more interest and expectations this year from the budget due to the novel coronavirus pandemic and the impact it has had on various segments of the economy.For the salaried class, the year 2020 was marred with job loss, pay cuts, higher inflation and so on. That is why many are hoping for announcements that can at least help ease their tax burden. Here is a list of some of the expectations of the common man from the Union Budget 2021. Hike in tax exemption limitTop on the wish list of the salaried class is a hike in the basic exemption limit from the current level of Rs 2.5 lakh. The last time tax exemption limit was hiked was in Budget 2014-15. Though Sitharaman announced a new tax regime in last year's budget which offered lower tax rates, however, no changes were made in the tax exemption limit. By hiking the tax exemption limit, the government ca...

TaMo Q3 gives clear signs of earnings recovery | Economic Times

ET Intelligence Group: Tata Motors’ operating performance in the December quarter may add more conviction to the likelihood of better earnings — and a leaner balance sheet. Earnings upgrade and superior valuation of the local business after the December quarter earnings may sustain the stock’s outperformance.Tough measures by India's largest vehicle maker to contain costs and improve efficiencies have boosted the financials of the local operations and of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which contributes more than three-fourths to Tata Motors’ revenues.So, operating profit margins of JLR improved 560 basis points to 15.8 per cent in the December quarter. There are some one-off events, such as reversal of emission fines and superior product mix (higher share of Land Rover), but the trajectory of base operating margins has been consistently improving.Variable marketing and warranty expenses, which dented JLR’s margins for quite a long time, are shrinking. The Street is still apprehensive abo...

Five past vaccine drives & how they worked | Economic Times

Scientists developed vaccines less than a year after COVID-19 was identified, a reflection of remarkable progress in vaccine technology. But progress in vaccine distribution is another story.Questions that arose in vaccine rollouts decades ago are still debated today. How should local and federal authorities coordinate? Who should get vaccinated first? What should officials do about resistance in communities? Should the hardest-hit places be prioritized? Who should pay?Some answers can be found in the successes and failures of vaccine drives over the past two centuries.In 1796, once scientist Edward Jenner discovered that people infected with cowpox became immune to smallpox, doctors went from town to town in England, deliberately spreading cowpox by scratching infected material into people’s arms.The rollout worked on a local level, but how could it be distributed to people in faraway places, like in the Americas, where smallpox had devastated populations? In 1803, the Spanish governm...
