Caution ahead of the release of major domestic macro-economic data points, coupled with broadly negative Asian indices and a weak rupee, suppressed the Indian equities markets during the mid-afternoon trade session on Tuesday. The second advance estimates of national income, 2016-17, along with the estimates of Gross Domestic Product for the third quarter of 2016-17 and the Index of ECI (eight core industries) figures for January are slated to be released later on Tuesday. The key indices traded in the red, as selling pressure was witnessed in oil and gas, automobile and banking stocks. The CNX Nifty traded with sideways sentiments due to profit booking. IT (information technology), banking, auto, oil-gas and cement sector stocks traded with mixed sentiments, while pharma, textile, FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), media-entertainment and power sector stocks traded firm due to buying support, pointed out market analysts. On the BSE, there were 1,470 advances, 1,320 declines and 216 unchanged. On the NSE, there were 825 advances, 665 declines and 71 unchanged. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said on Tuesday, "GST should be implemented by July 1. All states have agreed (on the date)." The government plans to get the GST Council's approval on iGST (integrated GST), cGST (central GST) and sGST (state GST) drafts at its March 4-5 meeting before the second half of the budget session of Parliament begins on March 9. The draft compensation bill has already been approved in the Council's February 18 meeting. The draft laws passed by the Council will have to be passed by Parliament. Simultaneously, sGSTs will have to be passed by state legislatures. The implementation of GST is likely to give a bullish push to the major indices in the Indian stock markets.

"Around 85,000 branches of commercial banks, 105,000 branches of co-operative bank and others are on strike," C.H. Venkatachalam, General Secretary, All India Bank Employees' Association (AIBEA) told IANS. The Bank Nifty closed at 20,607.25, down 0.03%. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
