Economy - Key takeaways



A missed opportunity overall; market is disappointed with the lack of imaginative measures. Fiscal deficit target set at 4.8% (down from 5.2%) of GDP for FY14, as per expectations, is likely to be missed in a pre-election year we expect actual deficit to be ~5.2%. Gross borrowing at Rs6.29trn includes Rs950bn (FY14) and Rs500bn (part FY15) refinancing requirement for maturing securities continued pressure on liquidity. There is little relief for individual tax payers no changes in slabs, no increase in exemption limits Negative for discretionary consumption. New inflation-indexed securities to be introduced to help divert household savings away from gold. Amnesty scheme for errant service tax payers (on lines of the highly successful voluntary disclosure income scheme) success highly uncertain, service tax collection estimates may disappoint greatly. Disinvestment target g set at an ambitious Rs558bn ( (up p from Rs240bn mop-up p p in FY13), ), sell-offs in SUUTI holdings, HZL and Balco are likely to form bulk of the amount. Proceeds from telecom auctions, excess spectrum charges are kept at a reasonable Rs250bn. Slippages are likely in subsidy allocation Allocation under food likely to be the chief stress area. Plan expenditure targeted to grow @29.4% to Rs5.5trn. Infrastructure remains a focal point IIFCL-ADB to provide credit enhancement, tax-free bonds issuance of Rs500bn on need-basis, independent authority to govern road sector. GST, DTC roadmaps continue to be vague.

Hike in surcharge g on corporation p tax domestic companies p earning g above Rs100mn p profit to p pay y 10% ( (from 5%), ), foreign companies to pay 5% (from 2% prior). Surcharge on dividend distribution tax increased to 10% (from 5%). All additional surcharges are applicable for only FY14. Investment allowance @15% for investments in Plant and Machinery over Rs1bn between FY14-15 FY14 15 small boost to investment demand. STT reduced, CTT introduced for non-agricultural commodities. Modified GAAR to come into force from April 1, 2016.

Indirect Taxes There are no major changes in excise/custom/service tax structure overall. Amnesty scheme for errant service tax payers (on lines of the highly successful voluntary disclosure income scheme) success highly uncertain. Higher custom duties on imported vehicles, yachts.
