FAQs on Stock Market
A. An equity share represents ownership in a company. The holder of such a share is a member of the company eligible to share many benefits from the company.
Q. What Returns can I expect from my investments in equity shares?
A. Investment in good equity shares brings different types of returns such as capital appreciation, dividend, bonus and right shares etc.
Q What is Capital Appreciation (capital gain)?
A. It is the difference between buying price and selling price of a share. People buy shares with the view of selling at a better price and this difference is one of the most important gains from equity investment.
Q. What is Dividend?
A. Dividend is the part of profit distributed by the company among its investors. It is declared as a percentage of the paid-up value or face value of the share.
E.g. 20% dividend on a Rs.10 face value share is Rs.2 whereas it is 20 Ps. on a Re.1 share.
Q. What is a Bonus Share?
A. A share issued by companies to their shareholders free of cost by capitalization of accumulated reserves from the profits earned in the earlier years.
Q. What is a Rights Issue?
A. In a rights issue, a company issues new shares by giving existing shareholders the right to purchase new shares in proportion to their existing holding. E.g. one right share for each existing share (1:1), one right share each for two existing shares (1:2) etc. Right Shares are usually offered at a discount, and most investors take up the offer of a rights issue.
Q. What are the risks?
A. Equity shares are “High-Risk High-Return Investments”. The major distinction of Equity investment from all other investments is that while the return from many avenues such as Bank Deposits, Small Saving Schemes, Debentures, Bonds etc are fixed and certain, the earnings from equity investments are highly uncertain and varied. A good scrip picked up at the right time could fetch fairly good returns else the return may be meagre or it may even turn negative, i.e. the invested fund itself may be eroded. In short, if the investment in fixed income category instruments is secured and risk-free to a large extent, investment in equities and related fields could be termed as risky. E.g. Rs.9500 invested in Infosys Technologies in 1993 has grown to Rs.2.50 crore plus at current valuations* – a case of high returns. If HFCL was bought in 2000 at Rs.1800, your investment would have come down to Rs.12 at current valuations* – a case of high risk.

A. A fresh allotment of shares to promoters, their friends and relatives on a preferential basis is called preferential allotment.
Q. What is the Face Value of a share?
A. Face Value, also called Par Value, is the nominal value of the share.

While earlier, companies were required to fix the face value of their shares at Rs.10 or multiples of Rs.10 as per the prevailing regulations of the time, now they are free to fix the face value at any amount they desire.
Q. What is Issue at Par?
A. It is when a share is issued at the same price as the face value of the share.
Q. What is Issue at Premium?
A. It is when a share is issued at a price above the face value of the share. Face value of Sobha Developers equity is Rs.10 but the share was issued at a price of Rs.640, i.e., at a premium of Rs.630.

There are two kinds of positions: -
a) Long positions or going long is nothing but buying a share. When you buy, that means you are anticipating an upward movement in the price, and that is how you profit. People usually buy stocks at prices expecting to sell them later at higher prices, and hence make profits.
b) Short positions or going short represent sell positions. When you sell, you are anticipating a fall in the price and the fall is the source of your profits. The shares will be sold and when the price falls they will be repurchased and given back, and the
price difference is the investor’s profits. Of course, the investor who borrowed the shares carries the risk of not having the price move as anticipated, in which case he may lose money in repurchasing the stocks.

b) Central Depository Services Ltd.
(CDSL), both of which are regulated by SEBI.
Q. What should I do when I want to open an account with a DP?
A. You can approach any share broker. or any DP of your choice and fill up an account opening form. At the time of opening an account, you have to sign an agreement with the DP in a NSDL prescribed standard agreement, which details your and your DP’s rights and duties.

Q. How do I deliver or receive shares to or from the broker ?

Q. What happens if I could not make the payment of money or deliver shares on the pay-in day?
A. In case of purchase on your behalf, the member broker has the liberty to close out transactions by selling securities in case you fail to make full payment to the broker for the execution of contract before pay-in day as fixed by Stock Exchange for the concerned settlement period, unless you already have an equivalent credit with the broker. The shortages in case of sales are met through auction process and the difference in price indicated in Contract Note and price received through auction is paid by member to the Exchange which is then liable to be recovered from the client. In both the cases any loss in
transactions will be deductible from the margin money paid by you.
Q. What is an Auction?
A. The securities are put up for auction by the Exchange on account of non-delivery of securities by the selling trading member to ensure that the buying trading member receives the securities due to him. The non-delivery by the trading member could arise on account of short delivery. The Exchange purchases the requisite quantity in the Auction Market and gives them to the buying trading member.
Q. What happens if the shares are not bought in the auction?
A. If the shares could not be bought in the auction i.e. if shares are not offered for sale in the auction, the transactions are closed out as per SEBI guidelines. The guidelines stipulate that “the close out price will be the highest price recorded in that scrip on the exchange in the settlement in which the concerned contract was entered into and up to the date of auction/close out OR 20% above the official closing price on the exchange on the day on which auction offers are called for, whichever is higher.” Since in the rolling settlement the auction and the close out takes place during trading hours, the reference price in the rolling settlement for close out procedures would be taken as the previous day’s closing price.
Q. What happens if I do not get my money or share on the due date?
A. In case a broker fails to deliver to you in time and make the proper payment of money/shares or you have a complaint against the conduct of the broker, you can file a complaint with the respective stock exchange. The Exchange is required to resolve all complaints. To resolve the dispute the complainant can also resort to arbitration as provided on the reverse of Contract Note /Purchase or Sale Note. However, if the complaint is not addressed by the Stock Exchanges or is unduly delayed then the complaints along with supporting documents may be forwarded to Secondary Market Department of SEBI. Your complaint would be followed up with the exchanges for expeditious redressal. In case of a complaint against a sub-broker, for redressal the complaint may be forwarded to the concerned broker with whom the sub-broker is affiliated.

Q. What is an index?
A. An index is a stock-market indicator created as a statistical measure of the performance of an entire market or segment of a market based on a sample of securities from the market. An index is thus a means to evaluate the overall performance of a market or of a segment of the market at any point of time. As a measure of the performance of the market at a particular time, the index at that point of time is compared to the index number at another point of time in the past and the strength or weakness of the market is measured on the basis of the difference in the index figures.
For example, one Monday’s market could be termed as strong if the index value on that day is better than last Friday’s index figures. Similar comparisons are possible intra day, daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis to measure the market performance. Apart from being a general market indicator, indices are used as a benchmark to evaluate individual portfolio performance. Professional money managers will always try to outperform the market, i.e. they will always try to do better than the indices. For example, if the value of a portfolio moves up by 10% while the index moved up by only 5% then the portfolio is doing better than the market.
We have 2 renowned indices viz. (a) BSE Sensitive (BSE Sensex) and (b) S&P Nifty 50 (Nifty). BSE Sensex comprises of 30 large-cap companies. As the name suggests, it is the premier index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Nifty is the prominent index of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and it comprises 50 large-cap stocks traded in the National Stock Exchange.

Indian market witness an upward trend
During November Bombay Sensitive Index recorded a growth of 6.48 percent against it's last month figure to close at 16926. Sensex was with in the range 15331-17290 in November. Nifty gained 6.81 percent against it's October closing and the rate is 5033. Buying interest witnessed across Midcap and Smallcap stocks. They increased by 6.67 percent and 6.57 percent respectively.
Buying interest spread across all sectors except reality. Recent Dubai crisis was the main reason behind the sell off in reality counter during November. Real Estate stocks were down by 4.36 percent. Metal stocks were the major gainers in November, up by 16.87 percent which is a record for the beaten down sector during the financial crisis. Auto sector was up by 11.26 percent, thanks to the auto buying interest expressed by Indian consumers. Health Care and PSU sector stocks were up by more than 8 percent.
Indian market continued to be the hot spot for FIIs during November also. They bought equities worth Rs. 5497 Crore. But the domestic Institutions continued their selling for the second consecutive month. Rs. 695.60 worth equities were sold by them in November. FII inflow played a lead role in the 1030 point increase in sensex. It is assumed that money pumping by FIIs will continue in the recent future owing to India's shining growth figures.
In the July-September quarter Indian GDP rate is at 7.9 percent which was unexpected by the street. In the first quarter the rate was 6.1 percent. Altogether India grew at a rate of 7 percent in this financial year sofar. There is confidence that we will achieve the projected target of 6.5 percent growth in FY09-10. The insufficient monsoon is major concern in the coming quarter. Due to this the farm growth will definitely decline which will have an impact on all other sectors. Mining, Manufacturing and Electricity were the major sectors contributed largely to the growth figures in the second quarter. Natural Gas production in the country increased significantly. Which is a silver lining in the growth story of India.
Reports are coming from Dubai about the recent crisis. Indian Indices over reacted when report about the crisis first came. During trading hours sensex was down by over 600 points and Nifty by over 200 points. But both Indices came back strongly and the severe reaction lasted only for one day. Dubai asked for a freeze on its US $ 80 billion debt due to troubles at Dubai World – the emirate's corporate arm. This came as a shock for the world. Primary reports said that it was the beginning of another financial crisis. But later the picture became clear and there will be limited impact on Indian market due to Dubai crisis.
Looking forward the dust over financial crisis finally settles down. Indian market emerged winner among developing nations-the continued FII inflow proves the same. Sensex started the year 2009 at 9721, the November closing figure is 16926 with an upward inclination. Sometimes there were selling pressure but Indian market overcame it in style. Now Indian investors can invest in Mutual Funds through NSE terminals. The inauguration of the same took place on 30th November. It is a drastic change in Indian capital market. It is believed that this move will increase retail participation in the market. Now investors can contribute to the growth story of India by investing continuously.

26/11:One year after
After one year of Mumbai attacks what we have done. There were promises and security checks. Head changes and alerts. But the question still remains-are we really safe. Our neighboring country has become the center of global terrorism. Our leaders have been talking, pleading and the exercise continues. Kasab is still behind the bars and the investigation goes on. During Mumbai attacks it was said that the coastal security system of the country is weak. Our leaders vowed that they will strengthen it. But as always there were eye washes nothing solid has been done yet. Terrorists who had relations with Mumbai attacks are planning more attacks on India.
After 26/11 UPA government again came into power. Their home minister remains the same. Congress party has significant domination in major states. Now is the right time to coordinate war against terror. It is pretty clear that terrorists will look for attacks in India. More dead bodies means more fame for them. India will always be the target so it is our duty to be prepared. Prepared as well as we can. So-many had laid down their lives due to this terrorists. Their lives also are important. It's the duty of the government to ensure the safety of their citizens. When it comes to terrorism every political party should unite. This is the duty of every Indian to fight against terrorism.
Coordination among various states is very important in this regard. Particularly the coastal areas. There should be a special wing in every state police to deal with terrorism. An effective national level set up and proper passage of valuable information are the key factors to tackle terrorism. A proper mechanism should be implemented to monitor tourists irrespective of their nationality. Citizen should help police by handing over valuable information of suspects.
Coordination among countries is also equally important. If we set up a cordial relation with all the countries it will be easy to deal with global terrorism. We should learn from US. After 9/11, nothing of that kind happened in US. But this is not in the case of India. This points out the need for rigorous measures to be taken in order to ensure the safety of Indians. Terrorism is not against an Individual, it's against humanity. It's everyone's duty to contribute their pie for the elimination of terrorism. Terrorism is definitely a hurdle on the road to progress.

Mutual Funds to be listed in stock market
In a move aimed at providing mutual fund investors more options to buy or sell units of mutual fund schemes, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) allowed mutual fund schemes to be transacted through brokers of stock exchanges. This move is expected to reduce the transaction costs for investors compared with what they were paying before Sebi clamped down on distributor commissions. The step is also a relief to many mutual fund investors, deprived of services from distributors, who have been selling lesser equity schemes because of lower incentives. In August, the market regulator banned mutual fund houses from charging entry load or initial fees that found its way to distributors. Sebi said, instead, distributors should collect commissions directly from investors.

Anna's first night
Anna was asked to undress herself. It was her wedding night.
She was sixteen then
First she removed her sari, the blouse after that she gently removed her underwear, her inner skin was whiter than the rest of the body.
Simon was eagerly watching her. His eyes became wider. At once Anna completed her undressing he hugged her hardly. His dress was only a single mundu, no underwear.
He kissed her. This was the first time Anna being kissed by a man on her lips.
Simon felt like kissing on a sponge. He then removed his mundu.
Suddenly sky started raining. Among dark hairs her vagina was like a hibiscus flower.
Simon lay over her and started kissing her lips and neck again and again. He squeezed her breast, which was like tender coconut.
When Simon found way into her body Anna started screaming. Simon closed her mouth. He then took a rosary and put it on her left hand and pressed it. Blood crawled down through her left thigh.
Anna was not Simon's first wife, but Clara was. On the first night when Simon started kissing Clara she became unconscious. She died on the first anniversary of their marriage.
Clara was Anna's elder sister. When she died some of the relatives came with the proposal and the marriage just happened.
Anna saw only darkness all around. Everything standstill, only Simon is working on her.When Simon was over her Anna started dreaming. The dream was also happening in the rain....
A man was dancing in the night. But he had no penis, instead of that he had vagina. He was half man and half woman. Suddenly the rain stopped. Then he became a complete man. His penis started growing, longer and longer by every minute. It became like a large snake. The man took a large knife and cut it. Black blood pumped from it. The man fell down and died.
Simon detached his body from her and like a wet tree, full of sweat, he lay down beside her.

There are more and more positive news like good Q2 numbers. But the impatient traders are avoiding all of them. The projected growth rate of 6.75 is another reason to invest in stocks. I think the panic selling will continue till tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow expectation of closing flat or well above. Next week there will be buying interest from the part of traders. Selling pressure witnessed in the recent star sectors was also another factor leading the market to loss

Market shoots up
IPO market and Indian Investors
In Indian context the effect of global financial crisis was not that bad. Real estate sector, where prices were at it's peak, witnessed liquidity crunch. Tourism and aviation sectors also witnessed slowdown. Techies and financial services executives lost their job. Government came forward with three stimulus packages injected the same into the economy. Now it is believed that Indian economy regained it's health and can compete china. Recently concluded G-20 summit was a milestone in the economic aspect of India. All big economies in the world agreed that India is a giant economic power. India is one of the few markets which is less affected by the financial crisis.
In India as part of the financial crisis Indian stock market plunged and witnessed it's recent lows. January 2008 was a good month for Indian stock market. Both sensex and nifty recorded their all time heights in that month. But in the same month market started collapsing. Then it was said that the plunge in the market was due to profit booking. But the downward trend continued and sensex came down to 7000 range in October 08.
Indian traders were in panic and they sold their stocks and exit from the market. Now secondary market is very active and almost all the losses were settled. During financial crisis the primary market also was in bad form. Many of the companies postponed their IPO. Some IPOs came in the market but failed to attract investor confidence. As a result IPO market or primary witnessed huge crisis. In 2007 alone 95 IPOs came and majoruty of them were great hit because of favorable market conditions. In the year 2008 only 36IPOs came in the market but failed to collect money. This year sofar 13 IPOs came in to the market. Due to favorable market conditions recent IPOs of Adani power, NHPC and Oil India were hit.
Adani power, the company owned by Gautam Adani was one major IPO after the financial crisis. The issue was over subscribed by 21 times. It is a fact that after listing the companies didn't shine much except Oil India. On the listing day itself Oil India's stock price was up by Rs.100. Indian IPO market is now active and people are more interested in buying fresh shares. Primary market in India slowly gaining pace and this will be the same in the near future.
On 24th August Bombay stock exchange started IPO index. Which was first of it's kind in India. The index tracks the value of stocks for two years after listing with base date May 3, 2004.Now a days an Investor can apply for IPO through online. Every broker is offering this facility. It's a cost effective practice and the investor need not pay any fees to apply for the same. Investor can also keep the money in the bank account which will only be withdrawn after the allotment. These are encouraging factors which believed to attract the common investor towards IPO market. If secondary market remains good there will be no obstacle before the primary market also.

'Now second is the new minute'-Telecomm stocks tumble
Sunday, October 4, 2009
Children without hands
They are children without hands
This is the truth
As naked as afternoon
They are children without hands
Not one or two
But Thousands and thousands of them
They walk along the street
Lungs of the city empty now
like a village classroom
Around the corner
Infront of the assembly building
There is a heap of small hands
like dead bodies of soldiers
like broken brushes
In this empty city
there are ways to brothels
But no ways to reach children
Look at them
They are children without hands
They walk along the street
like a march of saints
The light in their eyes never fade
They are children without hands
Their tears are big enough to dissolve the earth
Bullish rally witnessed in Indian Market in September
September was a good month for Indian market. Almost all the trading days in September Indian markets closed in green. In September there were long weekends but this didn't affect the investor sentiment. On the last day of September sensex touched 17,000 mark after a huge gap of 16 months. Nifty also witnessed huge buying interest and it crossed 5000 mark. FIIs and DIIS are very much interested in buying Indian stocks. In the initial days of September global news played key role in shaping the future of Indian market. FIIs activity was largely concentrated in the indices stocks. During the second half of September small scale investors kept a distance from Indian market and they were very cautious. Compared to index stocks less buying interest was witnessed in midcap and smallcap stocks. On the first trading day of October market witnessed choppiness and closed in a flat note ahead of long weekend.
Sensex closed at 17127 on the last trading day of September. It surged 9.32 percent from it's August closing. Nifty was up by 422 points and closed at 5084 against August closing. Sensex opened at 15691 in September and it's low for the month was 15357. During September four companies listed in NSE including public sector companies NHPC and Oil India. Oil India listing was a great hit since it surged by over Rs 100. During September world observed the first anniversary of Global Financial Crisis. Indian bourses though less affected than other major indices in the world made it clear that it is well it it's track towards glory. As a result FII inflow to Indian market witnessed a major boost.
All category stocks witnessed an upward trend. Banking stocks were the major gainers. Banking index of BSE recorded a gain of 18 percent against last month. Metal stocks marked 14 percent increase. Health care and Auto stocks were also hot picks among investors, both gained 13 percent. Reality and Power stocks were less favorite. Small cap stocks were up by 8.47 percent where as Midcap stocks witnessed 7.5 percent increase in September.
Equity oriented mutual funds also improved their performance. China and monsoon factor were less effective during the month. It is believed that retail activity was also low during the period. Profit booking didn't take place much in September. Investors expect a profit booking or correction in the market in the short term.
Going ahead midcap and smallcap spaces are left vacant for investors. Some profit booking may take place in the coming days. It will be beneficial for the investor to use every opportunity. Milk every opportunity should be the motto of the investor.

Poem-Falling Leaf
like a falling leaf
But you always loved noise
My love is like a soldiers' dead body
But you always hated war
Your lips the most thin object in the world
never uttered my name
Yet you were so special to me
Your stomach, the virgin sky
I lost my kite in it
your lean hands
the most unnatural thing in the world
I always dreamed about it
When the rain started fucking the earth
I closed my eyes
( But you kept your eyes open)
Your hairs, the smallest trees on earth
I wander among them like a blind wind
Your eyes, the tiniest rivers
I lost my boat in it
I loved you
But you always hated me.

Poem-I lost my Blood
Yesterday it was there, like a red ocean
But today it is lost
How and why is still a mystery
The fact is today I lost my blood
Now my body is like a leather change purse
The veins are like hollow snakes
They cry
They crawl
They search for existence
I lost my blood
Blood is a country
Now I am a refugee
Blood is mouth
Blood is vagina
Blood is penis
Blood is a platoon of soldiers
Blood is a body without eyes
Blood is a map full of pirates
But the fact is I lost my blood.
Holy cows and unholy cattle
Indian National Congress is an aristocratic party. Their leaders consider themselves as aristocrats. Gandhi family, the party's feudal owners are the most aristocratic people in India. The prime minister of the party is a bureaucrat. UPA government is a combination of bureaucrats and aristocrats. In the cabinet union minister of state Shashi Tharoor is one of the high profile ministers. He has been termed as the twitter minister (with one lakh followers!). Recently he has been in the news for some wrong news. First one is for living in the hotel instead minister house. He made it clear that he is living at his expense and not using any penny of tax payers. This clearly defines that he is a minister who do not want to be with the common man, he wants to protect his aristocratic mentality. His staying in the hotel was against the party policy of cost cutting.
Now the latest hit by Tharoor came. He termed the congress president and AICC General secretary as holy cows and the common man as cattles. Since independence India was ruled by congress ministers. They were the office bearers for a major period post independence. Yet the common man in India are less privileged they are like cattle it's not their fault. It's the fault of the politicians. The government is responsible for this (particularly the congress party).
Don't blame us for our misfortunes. The common people have voted the UPA to power again. They are expecting so much from them. Congress says that they are with the common man, what about their ministers?. Tharoor may not know the problems of common man because he is not from them. He can call his leaders hollow cows. When he calls the common man cattle, naturally it bleeds. PM should take the issue seriously and warn the minister regarding this. If the UPA government wants to build it's image in a proper manner it should avoid nasty comments from it's ministers on common man
The common man is not cattle, they are the most valuable instruments in a democracy.

Online share trading: The next big thing online
Some online statistics
Online world is another world for everyone. As they showed us in matrix we will be confused which one is real. Internet offers so many facilities to it's users, we must congratulate bill gates and company for offering such a splendid facility to the mankind (or should we thank someone else). There may be difference of opinions but one thing is sure that once online world will become more prominent than the real world (will all of us become machines speaking only 1&0, I simply can't imagine. Only 2 years before the internet using population in the world crossed 1 billion mark (oh my god 100 crores). Which simply means one in every six of world's population is clicking and the number is going up drastically. In India, the traditional and conventional, 50 million people uses internet and it grows like anything. By 2012 the number will be 81.3 million. (of course even more). Indian union also taken steps to encourage students to be online, internet education is part of curriculum in almost all the states. At least all of our people even heard about internet which is a big plus in this regard.
Are you bull or bear
Now a days everyone (most probably) is aware about bull and bear, at least they can identify these terms as cliches related to stock market. More and more people in India, especially young people,are turning towards stock exchanges for investment. But statistics says that of it's massive population only less than 10 percent is involved in any kind of investment and who are investing in capital market the percentage is below 2. The capital market investment population in India is less than 2 crore. It seems more and more literacy is needed in this avenue of investment.
The stock market investment crowd is concentrated in the upper class and upper middle class pie of the society. (Oh I heard someone saying to include the middle class-OK agreed). The rest 113 crore of the people may or may not invest but they do not invest in stock markets as of now, but in the future we will be forced to redraw the picture.
Online share trading
During the early years of 90s National Stock Exchange of India started trading using v-sat connections. Those days which was a revolutionary change and was referred as online trading. (now also some misunderstands online trading with internet trading).In late 90 internet became popular in India and when 20 century became past internet use in India increased at it's maximum pace.
With the emergence of new generation jobs people looked for new venues for investing and stock markets came first in the list. In 2004 when UPA government came into power stock market in india gained more popularity and lot of confidence had been imposed on it. During all these days ans now also offline share trading is the house full show. The traditional way of trading by visiting the branch, calling a call centre executive etc is called offline trading in which you need a persons assistance. Online trading (internet trading now refers) removed the second person before the screen and you and the system became the characters. This is the easiness that have been provided to the customer. If your bank also provides online facility you will be more relieved man. You don't want to step into a brokers office for anything everthing you want to do you can do at your home/office in your PC with internet connection.
Within just three years online trading in NSE increased an unbelievable 13 percent. With in 3 years it is believed that the number of internet using facility will be double. On an average 34 percent of booking in railway is done through internet and 80 percent of airline booking have also gone online (online masthi isn't it). Reliance money, ICICI Direct, India Infoline, Geojit BNP Paribas, Sharekhan, Kotak Securities are the major brokers who are offering online trading facility to their clients. Some are offering online trading facility only otherwise customer have to call the call centre where as some otheres are offering both online and offline trading facilities.
High speed execution, greater flexibility and control are the main advantages of online trading. The brokerage charges are less in online compared to offline trading. Customer can place orders even after the trading hours is another advantage of online trading. Real time tracking of stock prices is another advantage (you can easily skip the time delay in online trading-time means money honey).
Any disadvantages
The band width menace is the main menace considering online trading (it is believed that which will be solved when we enter 3G).When some big happenings in the stock market the brokers server will be down and the beloved customer will be at sea, staring at the monitor. The customer needs specific browsers and web configurations to view all the facilities provided by the broker like charts etc. If the customer is net savy he can deal online trading smoothly otherwise there will be no first aids from the broker.
In this fast forward life online share trading is the need of the hour. The internet using community will increase day by day. Online share trading is aiming a long innings for sure (at least it is a cost effective method for the broker also-no need to pay an employee). When mobile and internet convergence take place things will drastically change. Mobile share trading will function full fledgly with in years. Convergence of technology only means advantage to the customer.
GST: What all you know?
Our former primer minister once said-when we spend Re 1 for the poor only 20 paise will reach to them. He was blaming the inefficiency of the system. When we talk about all government schemes the same is happening everywhere. Take the case of prestigious projects by governments that they announce on a regular basis, always a minority knows all about it. Being unknown simply means the are not getting benefited from it. As also the policies by government- there is a vast majority of people who are unknown about it. The danger resides there, because all the policies are intended towards aam admi when they are unaware of it the virtue of the policies are lost.
Now take the case of the introduction of GST. Last central budget announced that goods and services tax will be in effect from April 1st, 2010. Former finance minister P. Chidambaram set the target time for the introduction of GST in 2006-07. After a gap of only three years government is going to introduce the new tax system. Government plans to collect the tax from it's people, but the very people don't know what is happening. How pity? Isn't it. When the European union introduced a common currency called euro they even published the details about the currency in comic books for children under the head-euro is simple. The west is more concerned about knowledge passing. Be it policy change or some big developments in the country they are eager to distribute it to all irrespective of their age and gender. But in India this is not the practice. One day government will announce a policy change, ofcourse media will carry it. Is it reaching every individual of this big country, the answer will be a big zero.
I only mean to say government should do it's public relations duty in a more fruitful way. It should be transparent and user friendly. When it comes to knowledge distribution it should depend popular media also. GST is actually a leap forward in the taxation in this country. As analysts say they need consessus of various states for the proper implementation of the new tax system. If they educate people properly through the media, they will line up behind the government and through this public opinion they can smoothly Implement the new system of taxation. After all people is considered as kings in a democratic system. By doing this government is only giving due respect to people rights.
India and New tax code
New tax code
In the union budget there was some hike in the personal income tax limit. This proposal came at a time when global recession showed withdrawal syndrome. It is a simple logic that when the people in a country spends then only the economy of the country booms, we can't always look overseas for development. Which was evident during the time of global recession. China practiced the logic much before. In the global scenario also India is a major market with 1.15 billion people living here. All major global players in the market are now keen in opening branches in this country. As it is a truth all over the world india is a major service hub too (this proves that the salary given in india is cheap that's why all jobs are imported to india). Since the salary in India is very low considering global standards the income tax limit should also be in a rational way. The new tax code serves very well in this regard.
Draft direct tax code had been made public. Now it is left for debate and is proposed to implement in 2011. That means it will get almost 2 years to debate the new tax code. The highlight of the new tax code is the widening of tax limit. According to last general budget upto 1.6lakhs income will attract nil tax, for women the limit is 1.90lakhs and for senior citizens the limit is 2.40 lakhs. As it is a fact higher limit means higher spending by individuals. This in net effect will make positive impact in the economy. In the proposed new tax code income in the range 1.6-10 lakhs will only attract 10% tax only. The next slab is 10-25 lakhs which will attract a tax of 20% and above 25 lakhs the percentage is 30%. If these proposals are implemented there will be a large amount of money flow in the system.
Apart from these innovative steps savings limits will be increased form existing 1lakh to 3 lakhs. MAT (minimum alternate tax-tax payable to companies which are out of tax bracket) will be final tax and no carry over complication. STT, securities transaction tax-to eliminate from April 1, 2011. GST (goods and services tax) will be implemented from next financial year.It is believed that GST is a modern tax system which addresses all modern day tax issues.
Is it good
The new tax code is good to some extent. It will enable individuals to flow money to the market. The draft also proposes a reduction of 5% in corporate tax. The government is very sure that there will not be any loss in the revenue. Moreover it will bring transparency and simplicity to the system. The existing income tax law, 1961 will be replaced by the new law and India will reach in the 21st century taxation with the implementation of the same. Government plans to implement the tax tax law at the golden jubilee year of the existing tax law.
More aggressive debate is needed in this regard. If more simplicity is needed it should be done. Awareness in this regard should be done in a proper manner. Grass root level awareness is also required. If it is found out that the new system will cut governments revenue it should not impose new taxes on the people it should consider alternate measures to address the problem.

All issues cannot be resolved overnight; But
Is the budget so bad? A lound no is the answer. Everyone will agree, considering the adverse situations prevailing all over the world, that the budget 2010 is very important regarding the fate of the country. Naturally expectations were also high. After the budget speech Panob Mukherjee said that every issues can not be resolved overnight. Everything will take it's own time to get resolved. Market reacted in a negative manner to the budget. (Share market always reacts drastically to changes even if it is very small, even the FM was also shocked by it's reactions). The budget was more people oriented. The rail budget also had the same 'face value'. This clearly indicates that the central government headed by UPA is more focussed on people, especially the people they call aam admi.
In the budget script right from the beginning more concentration was on the infrastructure development. The second topic in the speech was agricultural reforms. Consequent to the announcements related to infrastructure and agriculture Indian markets showed some activity. Infrastructure development is a big issue need government attention so also agriculture. During the second part of the budget speech finance minister announced the allotments to social welfare projects. Altogether the budget spoke the language of common man which the corporates didn't understand.
India is the youngest country in the world. We have 55 crore youth residing here. Youth, as they say, is the most vibrant time of a man, full of passion, novel ideas and above all they are ready to work. All they want is some motivation. But in India they lack is the opportunity. It is the duty of the state that it should provide appropriate medicines to its people to fulfill their dreams. In this more complicated world knowledge is power, otherwise information is wealth. One who gains knowledge is the most powerful man in the world. One gets knowledge through education hence education should be the top priority to every government. But the union budget failed to address the issue properly. Of course there are suggestions, but it always happens and nobody cares. Education loans should be more liberalized. It should be interest free, more relaxed paper work, less traveling for the student and the parents. More relaxation to the terms for the students below the poverty one and some more consideration for the deserved one among them. Through proper lobbying from government only this will happen.
The next big thing is agriculture reforms. Climate change and attitudinal change are the major factors which adversely affects the agriculture sector of the country. The proposed food security bill is a major step in this regard. But some more serious steps should be taken to tackle this menace. China is thinking ahead in this context and they had already started steps to address the issue which will become a major concern for all the countries in the world in the future. Government should ensure the safety of the corps by implementing proper insurance schemes. Irrigation and power power supply to the rural india should be the main priority, these issues should be take care of in the proposed infrastructure development projects.
Another issue which needs proper care is the health care sector. The price of life saving medicines are increasing on a daily basis. Rural india is striving from lack of health care facility. Treatment is a kind of huge burden on them. Actually they are dying because they have no money to afford the treatment. Some rural insurance schemes should be implemented to overcome the problem. Subsidy should be given to the poor (poor should be determined based on their earning capacity)
There are no major proposals in the Budget to address these issues but these are the burning issues in the country and government should consider these also when they take issues into consideration.

Night in the condom
Naked, kissing each other
The perfume from your skin
Wandering inside my nostrils
Like a snake.
This is an irresponsible night
Like a penis inside condom
Infertile, still working.
I want to swallow every inch of your body
I want to conquer every cell of yours
I want to dig my grave
Inside your naked body
I want to reinvent myself in you
Through the lens of time
I want to be your history
Still naked
Penetrating through your life
Like sound penetrating through years
Wake upNight is going away from us.

My Poems-2
I am walking
I don’t know where I am going
Yet, I am walking
Under the orange sky
Under the asbestos roof of the world
I can’t fold my white umbrella
Since it is not working well
I have been thinking about life
It’s edges and corners
It’s bare heart
it’s nicotine tongue
it’s milk less breasts
But I want to escape from all these
From all these ugly phases of life
I can’t suffer the pain of life
Pain of being avoided
pain of being hated
pain of being nothing
How ugly is this life
I want to wash it with all my strength
I want to paint this world with my blood
I want to lit this world with the spark of my eyes
I want to defeat the world with my soul
I want to reconstruct the sky
The trees and the mountains
I want to smell the world without nose
I want to paint this world with my blood
Birds are silent
Today is a stupid day
Since you are away home
Birds were silent today
I want them to be noisy all the time
I hope they don’t fly away
They should always sing for us
In this old city
There is nothing left
Except memories
Actually I am filled with the memories of you
Your face is like a city for me
A city full of joy
A city which heals me when I am wounded
A city which accommodates me
Whenever you are away from me
I am frightened
Frightened like a baby in the dark
For me, my love you are my light
Sometimes I hate this room
For it is too small to occupy my love
When we are in this room
Locked in and locked together
I always look at the street light opposite to us
It’s like an old man searching for something
Sometimes it looks at me
With it’s fainted eyes
But it always smiles at you, my dear
Oh my dear please comeback soon
Birds start singing.
Living in recession
I can’t tell you right now
What I am feeling
But I can tell you one thing that nothing is going well
I saw a picture yesterday
Actually I didn’t understand that
Full of bright colors and lines
Most of them are broken
What all these pictures represent
Are they pure art!
Or some artists trying to fool us?
But the thing is that when I stared at the picture
I thought it represents my mind
Full of emotions (nothing relevant!)
Living in recession with your dreams is a stupid thing
You have to step out from your shoes
In order to live a normal life
But what is the relevance of life with out dreams
The second thing I thought yesterday was
Why do people commit suicide
Last month one of my friends hanged himself
In his suicide note he had written;
‘I want to defeat god’
Is it possible to defeat god (god the almighty)
But with my normal capacity I can say that
By committing suicide we are defeating god
(or do we defeat ourselves)
Living in recession is a bad thing
Like thinking about suicide.
I want to bury myself
You are like the ocean
I awake on your shore
As a sound waiting for it’s echo
I love you
But you love someone else
Whenever kisses you
A wound is left in my heart
But still I love you
With my bleeding heart
In this world there is no place
Where you are not
Your vagina is like a temple
I want to burn myself in it
your smile is like a blossom
I want to be a part of it
Whenever you speak
I feel like hearing a symphony
When I asleep
The soul of my language went on searching for words
That could describe you properly
I want to bury myself in your grave
Under the banyan tree
Where I first met you.
I want to bury me in you
