QUESTION 1WINNER GETS: THREE BILLION NEW CAPITALISTS

WHAT IS THE

FRBM ACT?


“A budget is judged – wrongly in my view – on the

day it is presented. It should be marked only after

the financial year is over.”

“We still make unfunded budget promises; we still

THE UNION BUDGET

“We still make unfunded budget promises; we still

borrow too much; and many ministries cannot

spend the money given to them, yet ask for

more!”

NO EXACT OR CORRECT DEFINITION.

Perceived and analyzed differently by various stakeholders

to another set of budget-watchers.

THE BUDGET: WHAT IS A BUDGET?

are important for the rural masses.

- Fuel price hike, price rise, etc…

- Tax slab changes for personal income.

- CONTROLLING FISCAL DEFECIT, some adherence to Fiscal Responsibility and

Budget Management (FRBM) Bill


FUEL PRICE HIKE: GOOD MOVE!

REACTIONS ABOUT THE FUEL PRICE HIKE ARE MIXED.

I ENDORSE IT AND I THINK IT’S A GREAT MORE!

WHY THIS HAD TO BE DONE

1. Current structure incentivizes wastage and inefficiency.

2. No incentive or motivation for innovation in the energy sector.

3. A huge drain on India’s finances.


3. A huge drain on India’s finances.

4. Price of fuel is NOT going down in the future, it’s only going up.

5. The Kirit Parekh report - Free float price: MUST BE DONE ASAP!

FEW NEGATIVES

1. Fuel prices up marginally in the short term.

2. It’ll be hard to accept the truth but more price increases are

needed and is inevitable.

IMPORTANT ISSUES.

1. Long term financing, long gestation periods for infra projects

2. Land and environment clearance

3. Implementation and Execution: VERY IMPORTANT

4. The PPP Model

5. Infra Giants are also going through a learning process

BUDGET & INFRASTRUCTURE

5. Infra Giants are also going through a learning process


The Budget was pretty well received by the stock markets.

POSITIVES

1. Capital Gains tax remained unchanged

2. No change in STT or Securities Transaction Tax

3. Many PSU disinvestments lined up, and the outlook appears

sanguine. (This in turn bridges the fiscal deficit)

BUDGET & THE CAPITAL MARKETS

sanguine. (This in turn bridges the fiscal deficit)

4. Higher disposable income (due to changes in tax slabs). Some of

these excess funds could find their way into the capital markets.

NEGATIVES

1. Changes in transaction costs may be introduced

as new Direct Tax Code gets implemented in April 2011.


BUDGET & BANKING SECTOR

The Budget was extremely well received

by the banking and finance sector.

MANY POSITIVES!!

1. RBI considering giving banking license's to private players and

to Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC’s)

2. Extremely good move….more players in banking, more


2. Extremely good move….more players in banking, more

competition, customer will benefit with more choices.
