Budget FY16 - a watershed Prioritizing growth; major tax/subsidy changes; Rail Budget in focus

1. With inflation hitting low ground, growth imperatives come to the forefront

FY16 Union Budget would be presented amid benign inflation but challenging growth scenario. While RBI has started to cut rates, we expect it to step it up by 50bp in Apr-14. Meanwhile, as the government has walked the fiscal tightrope, time has come to accelerate the reform engine and improve quality of spending to aid growth.

i) The year of low inflation and falling rates

Inflation is sharply down n Inflation, both retail and wholesale, has rapidly winded down in a short period

of time of last six months on account of moderation in food inflation and the crash in global commodities.

n We expect CPI inflation to average at 3.9%, while WPI remains near zero at 0.5% during FY16.

n This would call for a proportionate cut in interest rates. While RBI has initiated the rate cut with 25bp reduction on Jan 15, 2015, we expect a cumulative 150bp cut during 2015.

Exhibit 3: Rates would need to be cut at least by 150-250bp to normalize even with RBI's indicative real rates

Source: RBI, MOSL

ii) Mixed evidences on the state of economy

n The revised GDP series by CSO show that India already fared better-than-thought earlier during the difficult years of FY13, FY14 and FY15. If this trend continues, FY16 growth would likely reach 8% as per the new series.

n This, however, is at variance from a variety of other macroeconomic and sectoral indicators that suggest continued headwinds. The most direct evidence of this is the latest corporate results for 3QFY15, and also aided by IIP, bank credit and key sector trends.

n Government has started to address a few of the sectoral bottlenecks in the areas of mining and infrastructure sectors.

n While the non-fiscal measures are largely on track, in view of the particularly prevailing stress in the private sector, it is a moot question whether growth needs a fiscal support too.

2. Fiscal correction has followed ready pattern The fiscal correction for last three years has been rather formula driven. Sharp cutback in plan expenditure effected as tax collections fall short of optimistic targets. In latter part of the year, squeezing PSUs for higher dividend, careful construction of spectrum auction and a rush to disinvestment saved the day for government.

n After the post crisis years of fiscal expansion, India is back on the fiscal

consolidation path for the last three years as per the pre-set medium term framework.

n A closer look at the methods employed to achieve this reveal application of a few accounting tricks and some substantial efforts, including the following: i) Deflated both revenue and expenditure or the government’s size in

comparison with the budgeted estimate. ii) Tax optimism at the beginning of the year to be matched by a steep cut in

plan expenditure during the course of the year. iii) Tapping PSUs (including RBI) for higher dividend. iv) Ensuring success of spectrum auction. v) Hurried disinvestment in the last quarter.

3. The focus areas of FY16 budget

FY16 budget is expected to be a watershed. First is to settle the question of relaxing fiscal constraints for which influential voices have weighed their opinion. Big changes are expected on the taxation front in i) ensuring a non-adversarial tax regime, ii) steps towards GST and iii) benefit on personal tax. The decline in oil prices has provided a unique opportunity to cut back subsidy to 1.7% of GDP, thus creating headroom to boost infrastructure. Reforms too may focus on infrastructure, wherein an innovative financing structure and revamped PPP with lower risk sharing by private sector can reignite the investment cycle. Capital market may benefit through addressing some of the long pending demands. Rail Budget too is likely to launch a plethora of initiatives along with an improvement in its finances.

i) The fiscal math: is there a case for loosening up?

FY15 target challenging but possible to meet n In its maiden budget, the new government retained the revised deficit target

announced by UPA-II. Maintaining this year’s target is paramount to demonstrate its capability to achieve goals set, ensure policy continuity and preserve the investment climate.

n At a first glance, the fiscal situation for FY15 looks challenging during Apr-Dec 2014, with the fiscal deficit already reaching full year’s budget estimate. However, in the similar vein of last two years, the shortfall in tax revenue is being sought to be neutralized by no-growth in plan expenditure, higher non-tax collections and a late impetus to the disinvestment process.

n As per our expectation, the cutback in plan expenditure coupled with higher non-tax collections (both on account of higher PSUs profits and expected over-achievement of spectrum auction) would outweigh the loss of revenue on account of lower tax collection and shortfall in disinvestment.

Influential voices have weighed for a relaxation for FY16 n FY16 Budget, though at the crossroads, can be a watershed. On the one hand,

India has embarked on a medium term fiscal framework that has survived the political regime so far. Complicating this has been the relatively high GDP growth estimates in the new series that apparently reflect non-recurring efficiency gains by corporates during the last three years. Investors’ sentiments too have improved markedly.

n Pitted against these are considerations that a variety of economic indicators, as highlighted above, continue to demonstrate weaknesses. This has led to some “influential voices” to seek at least a temporary relaxation from the pre-set deficit reduction plan and use the additional fiscal space to give a boost to infrastructure to kickstart the economy.

Exhibit 15: Influential voices have argued for relaxation of deficit reduction plan

Source: Media, MOSL

ii) Taxation - big changes likely A non-adversarial tax regime n Government has repeatedly articulated its vision of ensuring a non-adversarial

tax regime and end ‘tax terrorism’ in the words of the finance minister himself. n Many promises made in FY15 budget in this regard have already been fulfilled,

particularly in the area of transfer pricing.

Exhibit 16: Some recent measures to ensure non-adversarial tax regime

28-Jan-15 Vodafone relief and similar dispensation to others: Government accepted the order of Bombay High Court in the case of Vodafone India Services Private Limited (VISPL) dated 10.10.2014. The decision is expected to reduce litigation on similar issues and put to rest the "uncertainty prevailing in the minds of foreign investors and taxpayers in respect of possible transfer pricing adjustments on transactions related to issuance of shares, and thereby improve investment climate in the country".

20-Jan-15 No summons to senior management of large companies: Government barred tax officials to issues summons to senior management of large companies except when there are indications of their involvement in a decision making process. Further summons should be issued only by offices of the rank of superintendent and only after prior written permission of an officer not below the rank of an assistant commissioner, with reasons to be recorded.

30-Sep-14 Non-adversarial tax regime: Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) was instructed to implement an action plan to evolve non-adversarial tax administration including the following measures: i) Maintain appointment time, ii) Prompt acknowledgement of all communication, iii) expeditiously attending to all queries, iv) regular interaction with trade and industry, v) simplify registration process to obviate the need for physical visit by the taxpayer, vi) facilitate online credit of refunds, vii) easing of compliance verification norms.

Progress towards Goods and Services Tax n The constitutional amendment bill for introduction of Goods and Services Tax

(GST) has already been introduced in the Lok Sabha. n While most of the design and implementation issues are still being evolved, it is

evident from the scope of the constitutional amendment bill that GST would bring significant benefit to corporates and the government.

n The indirect tax proposals in the budget are likely to conform to the roadmap for eventual implementation of GST. This may include the following changes: i) Addressing the inverted duty structure in many sectors. ii) Rationalization of many prevailing rates towards GST rate. iii) Partially address the contentious issue of fiscal transfer.

•Cases arising out of retrospective amendment of 2012 addressed

•Legislative and administrative changes to reduce litigation

•Addition of benches to Authority of Advanced Ruling

•Enhancement in the scope of Settlement Commission

•Amended Transfer Pricing Regulation

•Liberalized facility of 5% withholding tax for Indian corporates abroad

A new direct tax code n Government is reportedly working on a revised direct tax code (DTC) that

attempts to enforce lower tax burden with improved compliance and reduce the plethora of exemptions that now plagues the direct tax structure.

n To provide a boost to consumption, government may consider raising the limit for exemption for personal income tax. To boost investment, deductions available under various instruments may be raised (including medical due to the rising cost, and housing, in view of its objective for affordable housing).

subsidy well within the 2% of GDP norm set earlier. n The under-provisioning of subsidy too may end with major petroleum products

being deregulated and DBT instituted for other cases. n Halving of oil subsidy alone can achieve nearly half of the fiscal correction

needed (25bp of ~50-60bp) during the year.

Exhibit 23: Decline in oil price is doing half the job of fiscal deficit reduction

n Among other subsidies, several measures aimed at reducing food inflation

would help lower food subsidy by another 10-15% through better targeting.

n Urea decontrol and National Fertilizer Policy would be two instruments that are likely to be deployed to curtail fertilizer subsidy in the medium term.

n To build the infrastructure for targeting necessary to administer subsidies effectively, the Aadhaar enrolment expanded to cover 60% of the population from 50%, at the time of the new government assuming office.

n It has also fast forwarded the rollout of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme for LPG after re-launching it as a new scheme ‘Pratyaksh Hastantarit Labh’ or Pahal.

iv) Head and heart: reforms and pet schemes

n More than fiscal maths, FY16 budget would be looked forward for signals it gives

for continuity and acceleration to the reform process. n Need of the hour is to erect a financing structure for infrastructure that would

involve government funding as seed capital. PPP structure needs to be reworked with a lower risk by the private sector.

n Some of the INR1b schemes floated in the last budget may see significant enhancement in their allocation too.

n We expect a rather steep increase in allocations for industrial corridor, smart cities, power T&D, urban transport, defence, education and tourism.

vi) Rail Budget to be closely watched n Along with the general budget, rail budget too assumes significance this time,

with the government identifying it as a focus area and a domain expert minister being in charge.
