Budget in brief

The Union Budget 2013-14 promises to return the economy back to a high growth trajectory while at the same

time keeping a strict check on fiscal profligacy that the country can ill afford.

� The fact that the FM was able to contain fiscal deficit to 5.2% of GDP in the current year is a remarkable

achievement given the overall slow down and the runaway subsidy bill. Going into the new fiscal FY13-14

the fiscal deficit has been pegged at 4.8% of GDP and this in our opinion is not an unachievable task. P

Chidambaram as Finance Minister exudes confidence and he has an admirable track record of delivering

on his promises.

� The Finance Minister has done a great balancing act in a rather difficult year. He has promoted

manufacturing industry by proposing an Investment Allowance. Further to prevent revenue leakages and

manufacturing industry by proposing an Investment Allowance. Further to prevent revenue leakages and

augment revenue resources he has come out with a number of innovative measures which while being

ingenious evoke confidence. He has sought to promote investment in infrastructure by issue of tax free

bonds, freeing up NELP blocks, referring stalled infra projects to the CCI and increasing tax holiday period

for power sector. In addition several measures to boost investments, savings and capital markets should

yield handsome dividends as the year rolls by.

� However the resurfacing of the GAAR issue can be a big negative for the markets. Especially given the fact

that the FM has gone on record to state that the CAD (Current Account Deficit) can only be bridged

through foreign flows constituting of FDI, FII and ECBs. With the TRC (Tax Residency Certificate) declared

insufficient, uncertainty over the implementation of the law could lead to foreign investors turning cautious

and the momentum of the flow of funds could slow down.

I have been at pains to state over and over again that India, at the present juncture,

does not have the choice between welcoming and spurning foreign investment.

Revenue measures

� In a bid to curtail revenue losses he has introduced several measures like the 1% TDS on immovable

property, withholding tax on royalty payments, voluntary disclosure scheme for Service Tax evaders since

2007 and final witholding tax on share buybacks by unlisted companies

� Further there has been no revision of the income slabs and the rates which is pragmatic given the

pressures on revenue. Further a tax on the super rich introduced has gone down well with the markets.

� A 15% Investment allowance on plant and machinery over Rs 100 crores should definitely provide a fillip to

asset creation and spur investment in the manufacturing sector. This is over and above the depreciation

rates prevailing.

� Surcharge introduced on companies earning a taxable income of Rs 10 crore or more should also help

swell the kitty.

Pragmatic and achievable


swell the kitty.

� Pruning of the negative list to only two sectors should help increase the gamut of services liable to service

tax

� But the biggest clincher is the Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme on Service tax which

proposes to tax the 10,00,000 non service tax payers out of the 17,00,000 lacs registered assessees. This

itself should lead to a healthy collection; although the estimated amount has not been quantified.

� Further reduction in STT and introduction of CTT (Commodities transaction Tax) should help lower cost of

transactions for traders in the equity markets.

� Non Tax revenue estimates (in the form of divestment, sale of other market securities and enhanced

dividends from PSEs) are also pragmatic and achievable

Wherever possible, revenues must also be augmented

Indirect Taxes

� Status quo on the normal rate of excise duty (12%), service tax rates (12%) and peak customs duty (for non

agricultura imports) maintained. Relief is from the fact that customs duty on crude oil imports was not

hiked (as feared earlier).

� Customs duty proposals

– on leather & leather goods lowered to 5% from 7.5% while concessionary period on environmental

friendly vehicles extended to FY2015.

– On pre forms of precious and semi precious stones duty lowered to 2% from 10%

– Export duty on de-oiled rice bran oil cake withdrawn

– 10% Duty imposed on export of raw ilmenite & 5% on upgraded ilmenite

Contributing to growth


– Significant concessions provided to the aircraft MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) industry

– Raw silk duty increased from 5% to 15%

– Duty on steam coal and bituminous coal equalized to 2% and CVD of 2%

– Duty free limit on gold jewellery raised to Rs 50,000 for males and Rs 1,00,000 for female passengers.

– Duty on imported high end vehicles raised to 100% (75%), +800 cc motorcycles to 75% (60%) and

yatchs 25% (10%)

� Excise duty proposals

– Hand made carpets and textile floor coverings of coir / jute and ships and vessels totally exempted.

Consequently no CVD on imported ships

There will also be no change in the normal rate of excise duty of 12% and normal rate

of service tax of 12%

Indirect Taxes (contd)

– Excise duty on Cigarettes and cigars to be increased by 18%

– Excise on SUVs increased to 30% (27%). Not applicable to taxis

– Duty on marble increased from Rs 30 / sq mt to Rs 60 / sq mt

– Silver manufactured from smelting zinc / lead taxed at 4%

– Duty on mobile phones above Rs 2000 raised to 6% (1%)

– Branded alternate medicines to be taxed on MRP. Abatement of 35% to exist

Service Tax further stream lined to have only two sectors on the negative list

– Vocational Training to institutes affiliated to the State Council of Vocational training

VDIS on service tax to provide a windfall


– Vocational Training to institutes affiliated to the State Council of Vocational training

– testing activities in relation to agricultural produce

– VDIS scheme for service tax to provide a windfall to the exchequer; although not quantified in the

budget document

I hope to entice a large number of assesses to return to the tax fold. I also hope to

collect a reasonable sum of money

Direct Taxes

� Status quo maintained on income slabs and rates as per last year.

� However a Rs 2,000 tax credit is provided to every assessee with an income upto Rs 5,00,000

� 10% surcharge imposed on assessees with income of Rs 1 crore and above

� Surcharge raised to 10% (5%) on domestic companies with taxable income above Rs 10 crore. For foreign

companies surcharge increased to 5% (2%)

� 1st home buyers who take a loan not exceeding Rs 25 lacs to be provided an additional deduction of

interest of Rs 1 lac . This limit is over and above the current Rs 1.5 lacs. This is to be claimed in AY FY14-

15. If limit not exhausted, can be carried over to the next assessment year.

� For persons with disability or suffering from certain ailments permissible premium rates of insurance have

been increased to 15% from 10% on the sum assured

Additional tax on the super rich


been increased to 15% from 10% on the sum assured

� Donations to the National Children’s Fund eligible for 100% deduction.

� Investment allowance of 15% on investment in Plant & Machinery of over Rs 100 crore provided.

� Section 80-IA benefits to power sector eligible date extended to March 2014.

� Timeline on concession rate of tax of 15% on repatriation of dividends from a foreign subsidiary to a

domestic parent company extend to FY2013. Further Dividend Distribution Tax set to 0% on that portion of

the dividend distributed by the Indian parent.

When I need to raise resources, who can I go to except those who are relatively well

placed in society?

Direct Taxes (contd)

� Withholding tax on Interest paid on investments made through Rupee denominated long term

infrastructure bonds to NRIs reduced to 5% from 20%

� Securitization Trusts to be exempt from Income Tax. Tax on income distributed by the Securitization trusts

to be at the rate of 30% for companies and 25% for individuals / HUF.

� Investor Protection Fund set up by a depository exempt from Income Tax

� Pass through status provided to Category I Alternate Investment Funds (AIF) and Angel Investors

recognized as Category I AIFs. This is on par with Venture Funds

� RGESS timeline extended 3 consecutive years and income limit augmented to Rs 12 lacs from Rs 10 lacs.

MF also made an eligible investment.

� 1% TDS to be imposed on immovable property transactions above value of Rs 50 lacs. Agricultural land is

Revenue leakage loop holes plugged effectively


� 1% TDS to be imposed on immovable property transactions above value of Rs 50 lacs. Agricultural land is

however exempt

� To plug loop holes a withholding tax of 20% is top be imposed on unlisted companies who distribute

profits through buy back of shares.

� Tax rates on payment of royalties and fees for technical services to non resident Indians hiked to 25% from

10%. However applicable rates to be as stipulated in the DTAA.

With a view to improve the reporting of such (immovanle properties) transactions

and the taxation of capital gains, I propose to apply TDS at the rate of 1% ….

Direct Taxes (contd)

� STT (Securities Transaction Tax) reductions are as follows

– Equities 0.01% (0.017%)

– MF / ETF redemptions at fund counters 0.001% (0.25%)

– MF / ETF purchase / sale on exchanges 0.001% (0.01%)

� CTT (Commodities Transaction Tax) on non agricultural commodities of 0.01% to be introduced. However

it will be allowed as a deduction.

Lowering of STT to benefit equity traders


It is time to introduce Commodities Transaction Tax (CTT) in a limited way

GAAR still unresolved

� The FM has again raked up the controversy of GAAR by suggesting that the TRC (Tax Residency

Certificate) merely itself would not be sufficient for foreign investors & non-resident Indians to avail tax

treaty benefits.

� Further tax authorities have been provided with additional powers to decide on tax issues at their

discretion.

� This change has impact on all non-resident investors and FIIs using these routes for channeling

investments into India and seeking to claim tax treaty benefits.

� Moreover the change is proposed with retrospective effect from FY12-13 which will bring any investor,

availing treaty benefits under scrutiny.

� “More conditions would need to be fulfilled” and ambiguity on these additional conditions has spooked

FII and FDI flows likely to be affected


� “More conditions would need to be fulfilled” and ambiguity on these additional conditions has spooked

foreign investors

� We expect markets to sell off and FII buying to be restrained until further clarifications are not provided to

investors

Impermissible tax avoidance arrangements will be subjected to tax after a determination

is made through a well laid out procedure involving an assessing officer….

Government expenditure boosts aggregate demand and it has both good and bad

consequences.

Savings, Investments

& Capital Markets

� Without savings and investments it would be difficult to kick start growth. Recognizing this urgent need

the FM has undertaken several initiatives

� The time limit on the RGESS (Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme) has been increased to three years from

one year and the income limit has been expanded to Rs 12, lacs from Rs 10 lacs. Further investment in

mutual funds along with equity shares is also allowed to improve the attractiveness of the scheme.

� Inflation indexed bonds and certificates are expected to be introduced after consultation with The RBI

� Additional deduction of Rs 1 lac on interest is allowed over and above the existing Rs 1.5 lacs where the

loan amount does not exceed Rs 25 lacs. Further if the amount of loan is not exhausted in year 1, the limit

can be extended to the next year also.

� In order to widen the insurance sector reach Insurance companies are permitted to open offices in Tier II

Conducive to put India on 7% growth path


� In order to widen the insurance sector reach Insurance companies are permitted to open offices in Tier II

cities and lower without prior permission of the RBI. Further Banks are also permitted to operate as

insurance brokers

� For capital markets,

– SEBI has been directed to simplify procedures for FIIs.

– Ambiguity between FII and FDI is to be resolved by classifying any stake in a company more than

10% as FDI

– FIIs allowed to hedge their Re exposure in the currency segment of the Indian derivative markets.

– Permitting FIIs to use their bond investments as collateral for margin requirements

– Angel investor funds to be recognised as Category I AIF venture capital funds

Increasing savings and their optimal allocation for productive uses lead to higher

economic growth

Savings, Investments &

Capital Markets (contd)

– SME’s along with startups to be permitted to list on the SME exchange without making an IPO.

However with certain restrictions

– Stock Exchanges allowed to introduce a dedicated debt segment

– Mutual Funds distributors allowed to participate in the Mutual Fund segment of stock exchanges

– Asset backed securities, ETFS and debt mutual funds to be included in the eligible list of securities in

which Pension & Provident Funds can invest.

– STT on equity futures and ETF and MF products reduced to improve attractiveness.

Reduction in STT to benefit traders


With the object of developing the debt market, stock exchanges will be allowed to

introduce a dedicated debt segment on the exchange
