If you are a NRI who hasnt filed returns in India for years & who hasn't linked PAN with Adhaar, then please by 31 March 2022 do atleast one of the two tasks :
Please RT for further share this thread
1. If you have an Adhaar, you must link it to your PAN. You can check the PAN Adhaar link status via the easy link below. It works via a desktop pan.utiitsl.com/panaadhaarlink…
2. You may have an inhibition on not linking your PAN with Adhaar. There isnt much happening via the linking. All of your key info is already with the Govt. Your biometrics are with them already via Adhaar. What else could you hide. Hence I recommend strongly to link
Having data scientist is a common thing for all data centric businesses. You will be killed if you dont have it. I won't just run behind HDFC Life because for this fact. On the contrary, their tech sucks ! Ask their sales teams. They don't even hv a decent proposal capture app.
To know about tech, learn from any of the ICICI group companies. Miles ahead. Compared to ICICI Pru, HDFC Life is in stone age. Marcellus may say channel checks, but I am a part of the channel and their customer too. If Tech is the reason, then they got it wrong.
When it comes to investing in Life insurance companies, I don't always see the point. Their major part of the product is sulking investment portfolios of traditional and ULIPs. No sane investor would invest in them. Their agents won't love to sell Term Covers, which is the core
Big spread between India vs US 10 year rate curve. US is
0.25% vs India at 6.117%
Longer term rates have yet to come down meaningfully. Shorter duration rates have come down materially. Orange line is for Aug 2020 vs the blue line of Jan 2020.
A dividend policy of a Company is a vital piece of info which should be considered for an investment decision. Generally a Co in high growth path would like to retain max earnings into the business to fund it's expansion plans. This sounds reasonable provided growth can be seen
If a Co doesn't have much of an expansion requirement or churns free cashflow in excess of its expansion, it should distribute the surplus to the shareholders. This is again okay, provided, one is not investing in a Co which has sub par growth and no future capex
A Co may retain its earning to bail it out of debts or excessive working capital needs. A not so happy situation to be in. This could at times be confused with high growth requirements & needs to be studied by lifting the lid of the can. Nothing much can be done here and
