CBDT has issued Clarification regarding taxability of income earned by a non-resident investor from off-shore investments routed through an Alternate Investment Fund.
Govt has re-calibrated and fixed the direct taxes collection target for this financial year at Rs 13.35 lakh crore, a task that the CBDT chief said is difficult but achievable. He also said that the government can only think of further "lowering" corporate tax rates once the exemptions and deductions in this sector are phased out.
Govt has ruled out a rollback of the ‘super-rich’ tax on foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) organised as trusts or AOP. The tax on such FPIs will yield an estimated Rs 400 crore, as against the overall revenue gain of Rs 12,000 crore from the surcharge.The move will hit 40% of the FPIs.
About 2 lakh individuals/business entities withdrew amounts in excess of Rs 1 crore each from their bank accounts in FY18, aggregating Rs 11.31 lakh crore. Such large-scale cash withdrawals, most without any legitimate economic/ commercial rationale, are what prompted the government to impose a 2% TDS on such withdrawals.
Supreme Court has held that the inter-state sales between two successor states cannot be treated as intra-sales for the purpose of sales tax exemption granted to industries prior to bifurcation. Madhya Pradesh v/S Lfarge Dealers Association held that though the creation of a new state is an unforeseen event and could give rise to unusual situations, this cannot be a ground and reason to treat inter-state sales between the two successor states as intra-state sales.

🏦 TOWER TALK🏦
July 15 - 21, 2019
✅ REC’s exit from Nifty CPSE triggered a sharp fall in its share price. However, its working remains good. Its current beaten down level merits a buy.
✅ Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has obtained USFDA approval for its Ranolazine tablets for the treatment of chronic angina. A positive for the company.
✅ The Budget proposals to boost electric vehicles (EVs) and affordable housing will, in turn, boost the aluminium sector. Buy National Aluminium Co.
✅ Although Tata Consultancy Services has missed the Street estimates, the management is confident of a double-digit growth this year. Continue to hold.
✅ The management of Godrej Propertiesbelieves that the Budget proposals for the realty sector are beneficial to them. Accumulate.
✅ Ashok Leyland is set to launch EV light commercial vehicles soon. A positive for the company.
✅ Power Finance Corporation is likely to declare a good dividend at its upcoming AGM. Accumulate.
✅ Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services has informed the media about its financial soundness. A safe bet at a time when most NBFCs are facing liquidity issues. Accumulate.
✅ Gulf Oil Lubricants (India) has become investor-favourite given its rising volumes and increasing market share. Accumulate.
✅ Production cuts have spoilt the sentiment in the Maruti Suzuki (India) counter. A good time to accumulate in small lots.
✅ EID-Parry (India) plans to expand its ethanol facilities. The rising demand for ethanol coupled with favourable government initiatives will boost the company’s profitability. Buy.
✅ Gujarat Gas is reportedly faring well this year and is ramping up in new areas. At FY20E EPS of Rs.17, it appears to be a safe investment bet for the next one year.
❎ The entire ADAG group is in a big financial mess. Stay away from Reliance Industrial Infrastructure.
✅ Himachal Futuristic Communications has received a purchase order worth Rs.186.9 crore from BSNL. Buy selectively.
❎ The auditor of Manpasand Beverages has resigned. It may be prudent to stay away from this counter for some time.
✅ Aquaculture company, Waterbase, is available at rock bottom levels despite an improved YoY performance and a higher dividend pay-out. Accumulate.
✅ NTPC has received a pan India licence for inter-state trading of power. The stock hovers around its share bookvalue. This high dividend yield stock deserves a place in every portfolio.
✅ Housing Development Finance Corp. plans to raise Rs.3000 crore via 7.99% coupon bonds to meet its long-term capital needs. There is ample room for its share price to rise.
✅ At a time when auto stocks are tumbling, Mahindra & Mahindra stands strong. This may be the best time to accumulate this auto giant.
✅ Kridhan Infra, which fell sharply over the last few months, has started moving up. It seems all the bad news surrounding the company has been factored in. Investors with an appetite for risk may accumulate selectively.
