I had mentioned in last week’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex might
head higher. The major indices of the Indian stock markets rallied during the
week and closed with weekly gains on Friday over last Friday’s close. The
trends of the major indices in the course of the week’s trading are given in
the table below: The Total Investment

Weekly Indices (The Total
Investment & Insurance Solutions)
The
major indices of the Indian stock markets were range-bound on Monday and closed
with small gains over Friday’s close. On the NSE, there were 793 advances, 728
declines and 58 unchanged.
Both
the BSE and NSE opened on a flat note tracking negative Asian cues on Monday.
The key Indian equity indices traded higher on the back of buying in IT
(information technology), consumer durables and healthcare stocks as the day
progressed. But the gains were not sustained, as there was no momentum among
the bulls. At the end of the day’s trading the major indices closed with minor
gains over Friday’s close. The Total

In
a major market development, IT bellwether Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on
Monday emerged as the first Indian listed company to cross the $100-billion
mark in terms of market capitalisation (m-cap).
Mahindra
Electric and cab service Meru on Sunday announced a joint electric vehicle (EV)
pilot project in Hyderabad, to be replicated in other cities soon. Their joint
statement here on Earth Day said that under the pilot project, Meru will deploy
Mahindra's eVeritos’ all-electric sedans.

major indices of the Indian stock markets saw an uptrend on Tuesday and closed
with small gains over Monday’s close. On the NSE, there were 125 advances, 100
declines and 1,822 unchanged.
Buying
in oil and gas, banking and auto stocks, coupled with broadly positive global
cues, lifted the key Indian equity indices on Tuesday. Index heavyweights like
Reliance Industries (RIL), Yes Bank, Adani Ports, Mahindra and Mahindra, and
Larsen and Toubro were the top gainers on the BSE. Selling pressure in metals,
IT (information technology) and consumer durables stocks trimmed some gains of
the benchmark indices, market observers said.
The
State Bank of Pakistan on Monday voiced its concerns over the surmounting value
of US dollar against Pakistani rupee in the open market. Currency markets in
the Indian sub-continent could see some turbulence in this context.
LIC
Housing Finance Company Ltd said it closed last fiscal with a net profit of
Rs1,989.58 crore. In a regulatory filing in BSE, the company said it had posted

Wednesday and closed with small losses over Tuesday’s close. On the NSE, there
were 546 advances, 1,194 declines and 309 unchanged.
The
key Indian equity indices traded on a flat-to-negative note on Wednesday
afternoon tracking weakness in the global markets coupled with selling pressure
on oil and gas, banking and capital goods stocks.
Two-wheeler
manufacturer Hero MotoCorp made an upward revision in the ex-showroom prices of
its motorcycles and scooters with immediate effect. "The upward revision
in the prices has been done to partially offset the consistently rising input
costs, including the prices of commodities," the company said in a
statement. "The increase in the prices of the two-wheelers is up to
Rs625. The exact quantum of the increase will vary, basis the model and the
specific market." The Total

IndusInd Bank, Tata Motors, Reliance Industries and ITC were the top gainers on

along with caution on the day of derivatives expiry and selling pressure in oil
and gas, capital goods and telecom stocks, trimmed the gains of the indices. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

fourth quarter of fiscal 2017-18, registering 21% annual decline from Rs2,267
crore in the same period last year. In a regulatory filing on the BSE, the

stood at Rs2,189 crore during the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2017-18 from a net
profit of Rs1,225 crore reported for the corresponding period of last fiscal.
"One area where we have been disappointed with our performance has been
credit risk. We made some significant bets on the infrastructure sector, which
have turned out poorly in this credit cycle," Axis Bank's Managing
Director and CEO Shikha Sharma said. "Consequently, our NPA ratios have
risen materially over the last two years. We have been course correcting since
as early as 2013, balancing our portfolio mix, strengthening risk management
frameworks, focusing on higher rated corporates, and re-orienting the corporate
lending business towards working capital loans." As on March 31, 2018, the
bank's gross NPA and net NPA levels rose to 6.77% and 3.40% from 5.28% and
2.56% as on December 31, 2017 respectively. On a financial year basis, the bank

crore earned during the corresponding quarter of the previous year. On a
financial year basis, the bank reported a growth of 26.9% in its net profit for
the year ended on March 31, 2018, to Rs4,224.6 crore from Rs3,330.1 crore for
the previous year. The 2017-18 NII rose by 33.5% to Rs7,737.1 crore from
Rs5,797.3 crore for the previous year. "FY18 has been a landmark year in
Yes Bank's ‘Large Bank Growth Phase' with the bank crossing significant
milestones in size, outreach and granularity while continuing to deliver on
satisfactory earnings," Yes Bank's Managing Director & CEO Rana Kapoor
was quoted as saying in a statement.

Digital (The Total
Investment & Insurance Solutions)
According
to a white paper by ACI Worldwide along with AGS Transact Technologies (AGSTTL),
digital transactions in India could be worth USD 1 trillion annually by 2025,
with four out of every five transactions being made digitally.
The user base for digital transactions in
India is currently close to 90 million, but could triple to 300 million by 2020
as new users from rural and semi-urban areas enter the market, the report said.
"Flexible, scalable and reliable
technology will be critical to the future of payments in India as the market
continues to experience incredible growth," said Manish Patel, Vice
President, ACI Worldwide.
Meanwhile, with the rise in digital payments,
cyber security costs for companies in India is also rising. The Total Investment & Insurance
Solutions
Mahesh Patel, Group Chief Technology Officer,
AGS Transact Technologies said, "we understand that rapid rise in internet
users nationwide is spurring an increase in digital transactions. However, the
Indian market unlike many western nations is still to mature and remains
threatened due to lower awareness levels".
As per the report, Cyber attacks cost
India an estimated USD 4 billion annually, and could rise to USD 20 billion by
2025, with the digitisation of payments presenting new challenges for
cybersecurity.
"It is necessary that the rise in
digital transactions remain holistic thereby supporting growth with scalable
processing platform. Also, it should be accompanied by allied precautionary
measures such as cyber security and fraud prevention," Patel said. The Total Investment & Insurance
Solutions
Mass adoption of e-payments and a thriving
fintech scene, combined with regulatory policy, are set to propel India into a
leading position in the global payments landscape, it said adding unified
payments interface (UPI) transactions are a key driver of greater financial
inclusion.
The white paper titled "Transactions
2025" noted that India's smartphone user base is likely to double to 500
million by 2020 as affordable devices and data will spur safe, fraud-resistant
digital transactions based on biometrics and multi-factor authorisation. The Total Investment & Insurance

While
the tax on domestic supplies in a month is collected through the process of
returns and gets collected in the next month, IGST and cess on imports gets
collected in the same month. Therefore, during the current year, GST on

March 2018, IGST and cess on imports has been collected for nine months, from
July 2017 to March 2018, the statement explained.

of eight months during the last financial year was Rs 41,147 crore to ensure
that the revenue of the states is protected at the level of 14 per cent over
the base year tax collection in 2015-16.
The
finance ministry statement said the revenue gap of each state is coming down
over last eight months. The average revenue gap of all states for last year is
around 17 per cent. The Total Investment

due date. However, including delayed filings, the State-wise compliance levels
converge over a period of time.The Total

International
Business Congress ("IBC"), an international non-governmental and
non-profit organisation with 122 members from 28 countries worldwide, held its
annual general meeting for the first time in India at the invitation of Mr.
Hemant Kanoria, Chairman and Managing Director, Srei and Trustee, Kanoria
Foundation.
More than 100 global corporations with a
combined market capitalisation of USD 8.9 trillion and annual revenue of USD
2.3 trillion participated in IBC's twenty first annual general meeting in New
Delhi reflecting India's meteoric rise as an economic powerhouse. The event
served as a platform for economic co-operation, bringing forward proposals for
debottlenecking and building favourable environment for safe and efficient
entrepreneurial activities. The event is also expected to enhance opportunities
for investments and trade cooperation between Indian and global corporations.
"The government is on a mission mode to
usher in structural reforms aimed at improving the business climate in India.
Many outdated laws have been repealed. FDI (foreign direct investment) regime
has been liberalised and new laws such as Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code have
allayed investors' apprehensions on lack of exit route from their investments
in India. Technology is also being embraced in a big way to make government
processes more transparent and hassle-free. Now, India is definitely one of the
most attractive investment destinations for global corporations," Mr.
Kanoria said.
The list of attendees of IBC's twenty first
annual general meeting included Russian natural gas major Gazprom, German
energy giant Uniper Global Commodities SE, Schneider Electric, Cisco Solutions
LLC, Shell Exploration and Production Services B.V., Siemens A.G., Sumitomo

Global stock markets tracked Wall Street higher on Friday on
strong U.S. earnings and as hopes swelled over the landmark summit of the
leaders from North and South Korea. The
Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
KEEPING SCORE: In Europe, Germany's DAX rose
0.8 percent to 12,601 and France's CAC 40 added 0.3 percent to 5,469. London's
FTSE 100 jumped 0.9 percent to 7,485, though that rise had more to do with the
sharp fall in the pound following worse than expected U.K. economic growth
figures. Wall Street was headed for modest falls at the open with Dow futures
and the broader S&P 500 futures down 0.2 percent — on Thursday, both
indexes rose 1 percent amid strong earnings from the likes of Facebook, Amazon,
Starbucks and United Parcel Services. The

KOREA SUMMIT: Geopolitical hopes are helping
global stock markets too after Kim Jong Un became the first North Korean leader
to visit South Korea since the end of the Korean War in 1953 for talks with the
South's president, Moon Jae-in, about the North's nuclear program. The meeting
comes amid mounting pressure on Kim's government to give up nuclear and missile
development. Kim and Moon greeted each other warmly and then held a private
meeting. The two sides repeated a previous vow to rid the Korean Peninsula of
nuclear weapons but failed to provide any specific new measures or forge a
potential breakthrough on an issue that has captivated and terrified many since
the rivals seemed on the verge of war last year. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
ANALYST TAKE: "Today's landmark summit
between the two Koreas should help to remove a major tail risk for the region's
markets and economies," said Gareth Leather, senior Asia economist at
Capital Economics.
ASIA'S DAY: That viewpoint was evident in the
performance of Asian shares. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.2 percent to
3,082.23 and Tokyo's Nikkei 225 added 0.7 percent to 22,467.87. Hong Kong's
Hang Seng advanced 0.9 percent to 30,280.67 and Seoul's Kospi was 0.7 percent
higher at 2,492.40. Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 gained 0.7 percent to 5,939.60 and
India's Sensex climbed 0.8 percent to 35,003.46. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
UK SLOWDOWN: In Britain, shares got a lift
after soft growth data reined in expectations that the Bank of England will
raise interest rates again next month. The 0.1 percent outturn for the first
quarter was less than anticipated and renewed fears about the impact on the
economy of Britain's impending exit from the European Union. The pound fell
sharply on the news as traders priced in a lower likelihood of a rate hike next
month. In early afternoon trading it was trading 0.9 percent lower at $1.3790.
The lower pound helped boost sentiment towards exporters as well as increase
the dollar-denominated earnings of the index's international companies. The Total Investment & Insurance
Solutions
JAPAN ECONOMY: Japan's central bank left its
ultra-easy monetary policy and inflation forecast unchanged. The Bank of
Japan's short-term policy interest rate is negative 0.1 percent and it aims to
keep the yield on 10-year government bonds at zero percent. The meeting was the
first since BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda began a new five-year term this month. The Total Investment & Insurance

The
rupee recovered from its 14-month low to trade higher by 11 paise at 66.79
against the US dollar in opening session today on fresh selling of the dollar
by exporters and banks amidst higher opening in domestic equity market. Forex
dealers said besides selling of the American currency by exporters and banks,
weakness in the dollar against other currencies overseas supported the rupee.
The domestic currency had tumbled 52 paise to hit a 14-month low of 66.90
against the US dollar, the third biggest single-day fall for the domestic
currency this year, amid surging crude prices coupled with headwinds on the
