A 🧵on why Vaidy of IDFC First Bank would want to gift his house help shares. It's an interesting tax thing. And a way to get goodwill (though there are some negative points)
Context: this note by IDFC First Bank yesterday that said Vaidy has donated 900,000 shares to his house and office help, to help them buy houses:
Vaidy could have done it another way. Could have sold the shares, paid 10% tax on the profit and then pay the remaining to his help.

He'd also have to explain to hajaar people about why he did this, and then saying giving to help etc. sounds like a weak excuse (like "charity")
Instead, he gives them his shares. His gift is bigger in size - and they pay tax. When they sell the shares, they have to also pay the capital gains tax on the profit, but that can be offset by the house they purchase (LTCG can be offset by a house purchase!)
Additionally, he gets the goodwill of having donated shares. This is a decently large percentage of his current ownership (about 2.28 cr. shares) - how many of you have given 3-4% of your net worth to anyone as help?

What I'd suggest is not to reveal names. Privacy issues.
Btw nothing wrong with this at all, everyone has a right to do what they want with their money

RBI will do a sell buy swap for $5 billion rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_Pre…

A quick 🧵thread:
Means RBI will sell $5bn USD on March 10, 2022. It will also buyback $5bn USD on March 11, 2024, two years later.

Banks can say ok I want $100 USD and I will expect RBI to pay me back say Rs. 2.5 more after two years. That's the "auction" where banks will bid for the premium.
If I'm a bank I can borrow 100 USD at say Rs. 75 so I have to pay back 100 USD in two years, so how much rupees should I get? Effectively, I will quote the two year interest on the rupee - roughly 4.5% a year +/-some view on how the rupee will depreciate in the meantime.

The NSE Order is a crazy read. The juiciest bits have been discussed of course, but it's amazing how the largest stock exchange has been run. Disclosure: I own BSE, and I think SEBI should quickly level this field (the way they did when BSE was a near monopoly)
Chitra Ramakrishna was CEO between 2013 and 2016. A strange "yogi" was there. She shared confidential details of the NSE with this person: Image
The problem isn't the sharing, apparently. It involves another strange person: Anand Subramanian, a consultant at a Balmer Lawrie subsidiary, who was hired to become big ass consultant at NSE, with his salary going from 1cr+ to 4 cr+ per year between 2013 and 2016.

A thread 🧵on how much retail investors (individuals) dominate daily investing in the markets in India, from the NSE Pulse: static.nseindia.com//s3fs-public/i…

They're 41% of the stock market transactions - down from 45% in 2020-21. Still, massive.
Individuals are 29% of index futures - a big drop from 39% in FY 21 and give way to brokers (PRO).
They give way to FIIs and PRO in the stock futures segment, down to just 19% in FY22 (which is April 2021 to March 2022)

Crypto tax: All sales taxed at 30%. No deductions of brokerage etc. allowed. No set-off against any other losses allowed (Is this reading right: you can't even set off losses in other crypto transactions)
1% TDS by the seller on the transaction:
Wording might be
a) crypto against crypto is allowed due to phrase "aggregate of the income"
b) Brokerage could be allowed as cost of acquisition

RBI did a "switch" today, converting nearly Rs. 120,000 cr. of government securities from short term to long. What does this mean?
RBI holds a lot of government bonds. Roughly 11 lakh crores. It should - all central banks tend to own bonds of their own country's government. (RBI owns 42 lakh crores of foreign government bonds, as part of forex reserves)
When the bonds come closer to maturity, RBI will effectively get money from the government and it might then have to use that money to buy more government bonds (to retain the allocation). Instead they just switch the bonds.
