Aug 2016
I had mentioned in last week’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex were to head higher. The major indices of the Indian stock markets were in a flat-to-bullish trend on most days of the week. However, on Tuesday the market turned a little bearish. Over the whole week, the major indices have made marginal gains of less than 0.5%. The trends of the major indices in the course of the week’s trading are given in the table below: The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Major Indices (The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions) |
On
Monday, sector-wise, healthy buying was witnessed in automobile, oil
and gas, and consumer durables stocks. The BSE market breadth was
tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 1,542 advances and 1,212
declines and 154 unchanged. On the NSE, on Monday, there were 900
advances, 725 declines and 230 unchanged. Gains were capped due to
caution ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy review.
FMCG
major Britannia Industries Ltd. on Monday reported a 13% rise in its
consolidated net profit to Rs219.13 crore in the quarter ended June
30, 2016, as compared to Rs193.66 crore in the corresponding period
in 2015. Its consolidated revenue in the quarter under review grew 8%
to Rs2,162 crore against Rs1,998 crore in the year-ago period. The
share price of the company closed at Rs3,143.00, up 9.07% on the BSE.
Profit
booking, along with lower crude oil prices and a weak rupee, dented
the Indian equity markets during the mid-afternoon trade on Tuesday.
Selling pressure was seen in automobiles, fast moving consumer goods
(FMCG) and metal stocks. The BSE market breadth was skewed in favour
of the bears -- with 1,569 declines and 1,185 advances. On the
NSE, there were 542 advances, 912 declines and 58 unchanged.
According to market analysts, consolidation and profit booking in the
absence of any fresh positive development dragged the equity markets
lower. Most IT (information technology) stocks traded down, while
banking and pharma stocks traded with mixed sentiments. Auto and
aviation sector stocks faced selling pressure. Most FMCG stocks
traded down due to profit booking. The Total Investment &

On
Tuesday, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan kept key
policy rates unchanged in his last monetary policy review as the
governor, with little elbow room on account of the country's retail
inflation inching closer to the upper tolerance level of 6%.
Accordingly, the repurchase (repo) rate or the interest commercial
banks pay the central bank for short-term loans remains unchanged at
6.5%. The cash reserve ratio (CRR) that scheduled banks have to keep
in the form of liquid funds also remains unaltered at 4% of deposits.
In the previous policy update, too, conducted on June 7, the policy
rates were left unaltered.
Profit
booking, along with negative global cues and caution over upcoming
quarterly results, dragged the Indian equity markets lower during the
late-afternoon trade session on Wednesday. Heavy selling pressure was
witnessed in automobile, banking and healthcare stocks. The BSE
market breadth was skewed in favour of the bears -- with 1,896
declines and 832 advances. On the NSE, on Wednesday, there were 335
advances, 1,116 declines and 48 unchanged. The Total Investment &
Insurance Solutions
Most
banking and pharma stocks traded down, while IT (information
technology) and auto stocks also faced resistance at higher levels.
Aviation stocks traded with sideways to firm sentiments on higher
crude oil prices. Indian markets continued to trade with weakness and
underperformed its global peers. The Total Investment & Insurance

JK
Tyre & Industries (JKTIL) on Tuesday reported a consolidated net
profit of Rs100.26 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
According to the company, its consolidated net profit for the
corresponding period of last fiscal stood at Rs117.07 crore.
"Consolidated financial results published, as opted by the
company, include working of Cavendish Industries Ltd., acquired on
April 13, 2016 which restarted its operations in mid-May, 2016,"
the company said in a regulatory filing to the BSE. "Therefore,
results of the quarter are not comparable with previous period."
The company's total income during the quarter under review stood at
Rs1,786.77 crore from Rs1,771.06 crore earned during the
corresponding period of 2015-16. The shares of the company closed at
Rs102.20, down 2.76% on the BSE on Wednesday.
On
Thursday, the Indian equity markets traded flat for most of day.
Selling pressure was witnessed in automobile, metal and capital goods
stocks. The markets were bearish with BSE having 1,165 advances,
1,500 declines and 67 unchanged. On the NSE, there were 585 advances,
871 declines and 62 unchanged.The Total Investment & Insurance

Automobile
manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) on Wednesday reported a
rise of 12.36% in its standalone net profit for the first quarter of
the current fiscal. According to the company, Q1 standalone net
profit stood at Rs955.21 crore from Rs850.09 crore for the quarter
ended June 30, 2015. The company informed the BSE in a regulatory
filing that its total revenue from operations during the quarter
under review increased by 14.05% to Rs11,942.90 crore from
Rs10,470.86 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The company
said in a statement that while public investment expenditures remain
strong, urban demand has been picking up pace since the third quarter
of the previous fiscal and is expected to receive further impetus
from the Seventh Pay Commission awards, which will be given effect in
the current month. The company elaborated that rural demand can be
expected to gather further strength in the coming months given the
robust rainfall received thus far and IMD's (India Meteorological
Department) prediction of normal rains for the rest of the monsoon
season. The company cited that weak external demand, underutilised
capacities and balance sheet stress have hindered domestic private
investment. The company’s shares closed at Rs1,420.70, down 1.88%
on the BSE, on Thursday.
Positive
global cues on the back of higher crude oil prices lifted the Indian
equity markets on Friday. Healthy buying was witnessed in banking,
automobile and metal stocks. However, negative European markets and
caution over the upcoming macro-economic data capped gains in the
afternoon session. Stocks of SBI (State Bank of India) traded firm on
positive Q1 (first quarter) earnings. However, IT (information
technology) and pharma stocks traded with mixed sentiments on profit
booking, pointed out market analysts. Friday’s rally was sufficient
for the major indices to go up by around 1% over Thursday’s close.

The
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed that the customer will have
no or zero liability in case of fraud being committed because of a
bank's negligence or by a third party. In addition, where the
customer’s own involvement is not clearly established, customer
liability will be limited to a maximum of Rs5,000 if it is reported
within four to seven working days, the draft circular says.The
Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
However,
where customer's own involvement is established, customer will be
liable, the draft circular on 'Customer Protection - Limiting
Liability of Customers in Unauthorised Electronic Banking
Transactions' issued by the central bank says.The Total Investment
& Insurance Solutions
The
recent surge in customer grievances relating to unauthorised
electronic banking transactions resulting in debits to their accounts
and cards, has necessitated a review of the criteria for determining
the customer liability in these circumstances, RBI said in a release.
"If
customer reports beyond seven working days, customer liability will
be determined based on bank's Board approved policy," said the
draft, on which the RBI has sought feedback till 31 August 2016.
On
being notified by the customer, the draft said the "bank should
credit (shadow reversal)" the amount involved in the
unauthorised electronic transaction to the customer's account within
10 working days.
"The
burden of proving customer liability in case of unauthorised
electronic banking transactions shall lie on the bank," the RBI
proposed.
It
is also proposed that banks should ensure that a complaint is
resolved within 90 days and in case of debit card or bank account the
customer does not lose out on interest.
Banks
should also ensure that in case of credit card the customer does not
bear any additional burden of interest.
The
RBI said the recent surge in customer grievances relating to
unauthorised electronic banking transactions resulting in debits to
their accounts/cards, has necessitated a review of the criteria for
determining the customer liability in these circumstances.
"Banks
must ask their customers to mandatorily register for alerts for
electronic banking transactions. The alerts shall be sent to the
customers through different channels (email or SMS) offered by the
banks," it proposed.The Total Investment & Insurance

Achieving solar targets while complying with WTO norms -The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Contact
Your Financial Adviser Money Making MC
11Th
Aug 2016
WTO norms(The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions) |
The
World Trade Organisation (WTO) recently ruled against India's
Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) for setting up solar power plants.
Yet, there are ways to meet DCR in a way that it does not violate the
multilateral trading norms.The Total Investment & Insurance
Solutions
To
backtrack a bit, the national solar target was revised to an
ambitious 100 GW in 2015, with a focus on indigenous manufacturing of
solar cells, modules and other associated components of solar power
plants.
Currently,
India has 5.62 GW and 1.21 GW of PV (photovoltiacs) module- and
cell-manufacturing capacities. However, the industry is operating at
only 30 per cent capacity because of lack of demand as imported
modules are cheaper.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Although
3.33 GW was installed in India over the past two years, more than 75
per cent of the capacity employs modules imported from China and
other competitive countries.
Indian
modules and cells become expensive because of complicated mechanisms
to avail of subsidies like the MSIPS (Modified Special Incentive
Package Scheme) and a lack of vertical integration, economies of
scale, low-cost finance and, finally, adequate dedicated
infrastructure such as silicon-processing plants and stable power
supply.
Without
a strong manufacturing base, India will end up spending $3 billion on
imported PV modules to reach the ambitious 100 GW target. Energy
security, which is another objective in JNNSM (Jawaharlal Nehru
National Solar Mission), will not be achieved. There are various
policy instruments that the government can engage to boost domestic
manufacturing like tax exemptions, soft loans and the DCR.
The
DCR clause mandates a part of solar installations to use indigenously
sourced or manufactured components. It incentivises nascent domestic
manufacturers by providing them a secure market for a stipulated
period. In principle, it should be phased out when indigenous
manufacture becomes competitive with its international counterparts.
The Indian government had stipulated DCR in some projects of JNNSM
Phase 1 and Phase 2.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
In
February 2013, the US filed a dispute against India at the WTO
claiming bias against imported cells and modules through this DCR.
The US claimed that this clause was inconsistent with the General
Agreement on Trade and Treaty (GATT) Article III:4, which demands
equal treatment for domestic and foreign products.
India
defended its case by seeking an exemption under GATT Article
III:8(a), which says that GATT Article III:4 shall not apply to laws
and regulations governing the procurement of products by governmental
agencies for governmental purposes and not for commercial resale.
The
WTO rightly ruled against India on grounds of discrimination against
solar panels while procuring electricity. This essentially means that
the government was purchasing the electricity that was generated from
the panels under the DCR clause.
According
to WTO norms, the goods being discriminated against and the goods
being procured should be either similar or have a competitive
relationship, which was not the case in this dispute. India is now
planning to appeal against the decision at WTO's highest court, the
Appellate Body.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
This
decision of the WTO leaves no elbow room for India to implement DCR
in its current form. However, DCR can be employed in another way. A
majority of the government entities planning to install rooftop
photovoltaic (RTPV) systems can use domestically manufactured
modules. In this case, India will be able to support the DCR clause
for government usage as India is not a signatory to the Government
Procurement Agreement (GPA), which enforces otherwise.
The
argument because of which India lost the case will not hold good
since the government is no longer procuring electricity, but only
consuming whatever is generated with no associated monetary value or
transaction. The only condition should be that these RTPV systems do
not generate more than the consumption in each building.
Indian
Railways alone consumes 17.5 billion units of electricity (1.8 per
cent of the country's total electricity demand) with an annual
expenditure of over Rs 11,000 crore ($1.6 billion). If 10 per cent of
this demand is met by DCR, this would add 1 GW capacity. Similarly,
there are a large number of government entities such as hospitals,
schools and institutions that consume a large amount of electricity.
These buildings typically have large rooftop areas suitable for RTPV
installations.
Further
research using tools such as Geographical Information System (GIS)
can be used to estimate the suitable rooftop area available to such
government entities.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
Once
the potential assessment exercise is completed, India can decide the
magnitude of DCR it wants to implement within the WTO norms. This
will allow domestic manufacturers to operate within a niche space
till they achieve cost competitiveness and strengthen the indigenous
manufacturing base.The Total Investment & Insurance
