Pre budget expectations on LTCG and STT taxes

Mr. Debadrata Bhattacharjee, Head of Research, CapitalAim

As the Government Present the Interim budget 2019 tomorrow, ahead of Lok Sabha polls. General public is waiting with great expectation of extending the tax slab to 5 lakh from current 2.5 lakh. We strongly believe that this budget is a populist budget & can drag markets down. Market may reacts to the fiscal measures taken by govt. in this budget. If the measures are not in line with markets expectation then definitely, we see a deeper correction ahead in markets.

If the news on LTCG and STT changes is confirmed by finance ministry on budget day then we would say that this will help markets to form liquidity as foreign Institutions will invest more. In previous budgets when LTCG and STT was increased by government, that created lack of liquidity in market as FII's started putting their money in some other rival emerging markets, where they can make money instead of paying higher tax in India.
