#NRI #Remittances will not only #COLLAPSE but they could reverse
A quick thread with implications for the #INR
#NRI #Remittances will not only collapse but they could reverse as outflows unless the DEPOSIT Rates offered by Indian Banks to NRIs are at-least 6-7% $ Rates
BUT that is NOT the Shocking Part, Read the #Thread
#CRICKET is a #RELIGION in India & #TRANSPARENCY should be Foremost
As per the FY17 Annual Report, @BCCI paid an INTEREST Cost of Rs115 Cr (400% YoY) while it’s INTEREST Income of Rs171 Cr (Fell 2% YoY).
BUT WHY were they paying 171Cr of Interest Costs when they had a CASH BALANCE of 3770 Cr (3560 Cr in FY16) ?

#UncommonSense
UK/US NRIs & Top 2% Indian Residents (30 Mn Income Earners > Rs6lac/per yr) praise #Medical#Facilities in India especially ability to Approach Specialists Directly
Driving though PUNE/MUM/BLR & reaching Hospital in time in a Medical Emergency is Impossible
These people generally forget that when they compare themselves to the US/UK NRIs vs the Indians in India… one is comparing the Avg US/UK citizen with the Top 2% in India

THIS IS #BIG ! #Hawala 2.0 Will EXPLODE in India post JULY 1st. Just My opinion:
By IMPLEMENTING 20% Tax Collected On Source (#TCS) on Foreign Spend (Currency, FX cards, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Transfers), it becomes Increasingly more Cost Effective to Transfer Via #Hawala
If you try and BUY #Foreign Currency in the Black, that spread that used to be 2-3%, will now become 10% possibly
Unused Balances of Loaded Forex Cards will Go at a Premium of 10-12%

WILL #ITC Hive off the Non-Tobacco FMCG ?
During Q4 & FY23, Operating PAT Growth delivered by #ITCs non-tobacco #FMCG business has been No1 amongst Peers.
Revenue (+19% YoY) but EBITDA (+76% YoY) & margins a respectable 13.3%
Will Investors Attach Super High PE to Non-Tobac FMCH biz ?
I was looking at DABUR, its Consold Op Profit and PAT declined in FY23 vs FY22... its 3 yr CAGR is just 6% (that's way lower than inflation). Its Fwd PE and EV/EBITDA is 47 & 34 respectively (marketScreener.com)

CHRONOLOGY 1) Amul Enters a mkt 2) Jul-21: Union govt formed Min of Cooperation under #AmitShah 3) Dec-22: Amendments are made to the Multi-State Co-op Societies Act, allowing State Milk Coops to Merge 4) Dec-22: Amit Shah spoke of a possible #Amul#Nandini Merger

Let me make this very clear - there is EVERY reason to Doubt the #EVM machines. IMHO they can be manipulated several ways -
precisely why every other Western & Developed Asian Democracy has reverted back to Paper Ballot.
REGARDLESS OF ELECTION OUTCOME, #EVMs must be stopped!
Media reports of a difference of 1% of Votes or 6 MILLION votes between Election days & Counting day in 2019

#KarnatakaElections2023 : why I think #INC & #JDS will win against the #BJP
HOWEVER it will be a #Big #BLUNDER for INC-JDS to Accept that #EVMs are Credible - since EVMs are Not
A #THREAD (not Original but I agree with the Logic)
1/n
with the Winds are blowing against the BJP, the BJP has decided to hand it over to Congress-JDS on platter. The resignations of influential leaders is a big give away.
This has multiple benefits for both parties, more so for BJP.

Economists believe these animal spirits to be a vital ingredient for high growth of #SMEs & #Businesses
Visa & Master card networks provide Payment Guarantee and hence charge MDR. If there is a fraud, I can stop payment immediately. Not required to go to Police and Register an FIR.
What does #UPI charge the MDR for ?
#UPIcharges for what it’s worth, In #Singapore there is something called #PayNow which is just like UPI.
ZERO CHARGES the last that I know

@PChidambaram_IN mentioned "single-minded focus on containing the deficit"
FACTS
Chart 1: Absolute Fiscal Deficit is MASSIVELY EXPANDING like a Rocket
Chart 2: As % of GDP, Fiscal Balance (Deficit) is Highest Levels despite LIFE-TIME high Tax/GDP & Low Crude Oil Prices vs FY10-14
Rs20000 per Plate of Food for #G20 comes as No Surprise
#Modinomics CAPEX is GOLD PLATED thereby costing us at-least 50-100% More than what a Frugal Govt should spend or what has been spent by the same institutions in the past.
This is precisely why your Road Cost you Rs75 LACS per 10 Meters of Road (Bangalore- Mysore Expressway) or the User Development Fee at your Airports are being raised by 500% etc
