RBI Monetary Policy : Urjit Patel To Present Sixth Bi-Monthly Policy Shortly

Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit R Patel will address the media following the sixth bi-monthly monetary policy where the six-member RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will decide if there is a need for a revision in the Repo Rate.

Repo rate, which is the rate at which banks borrow short-term funds from the central bank, now stands at 6 percent. Markets expect a 25 basis point rate cut on Wednesday after the MPC surprise December pause and demonetisation.

RBI will have more room to reduce benchmark rates following the government’s goal to keep the fiscal deficit target at 3.2 percent of the GDP in FY18.

Economists expect a 25 basis points cut in the repo rate with CPI inflation under control.

It is expected to be a close call for the Monetary Policy Committee and RBI Governor Urjit Patel.

Budget 2017 Update By Research Infotech | Call :8982890444

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley placed consumers before rigid fiscal discipline as he spelt out a carefully crafted plan to boost people’s spending power, create jobs and improve rural incomes in 2017-18 Budget, mixing welfare economics with a new wave of reforms.

He exempted foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) from indirect transfers, a move that will soothe frayed nerves following a tax circular in December that had sparked fears among overseas investors. 

He offered the most to those at the lowest salary bracket, farmers and small businesses which endured the demonetisation shock and could also influence the outcome in five upcoming assembly elections. 
Jaitley also proposed a new law to confiscate assets of economic offenders who have left the country, a move that will pave the way for launching a crackdown on corporate loan defaulters.

The finance minister announced changes in electoral funding, under which political parties can only receive up to Rs 2,000 in cash from a single source, and proposed to ban cash transactions above Rs 3 lakh. 
The minister announced Mission Antyodaya, an ambitious umbrella initiative aimed at lifting 10 million out of poverty by stitching together a raft of programmes.

MNREGS

The world’s largest job guarantee scheme, received top billing with budgetary allocation of Rs 48,000 crore, a 24 percent jump over the previous year’s Rs 38,500 crore, but only a Rs 1000 crore more than the actual spend of 2016-17. 

The Finance Minister raised the Budget for programmes for scheduled castes (SCs) for 2017-18 to 52,393 crore from Rs 38,000 crore currently. Likewise, the annual budget for initiatives for scheduled tribes (STs) was raised to Rs 31,920 crore and for minorities to Rs 4,195 crore in 2017-18. 

LESS TAX FOR SMALL SALARIES

Jaitley kept the income-tax exemption limit — the threshold below which taxes are not required to be paid – at Rs 2.5 lakh a year, but marginally rejigged the tax rates at the lower and higher  ends. Those earning between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 5 lakh will now be taxed at 5 percent from 2017-18, from 10 percent earlier, and those earning between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore annually will have to pay surcharge of 10 percent in addition to a 30 percent income tax. The surcharge for people with an annual Rs 1 crore taxable income will remain at 15 percent.

DIGITAL PUSH 

He announced a scheme to enable NABARD to digitise 63,000 primary agricultural cooperatives, withdrew service charges on e-tickets booked via IRCTC, proposed an allocation at Rs 10,000 crore for Bharatnet, an umbrella plan for nation-wide broad-band connectivity. “A shift to the digital platform will benefit the common man,” Jaitley said Two new schemes –Refer and Bonus and the Aadhar Pay—to supplement the BHIM app will be launched  to fund digital payment systems in rural and remote areas as part of the government’s strategy to move India towards a “less-cash” society.

CORPROATE TAX REJIG

He proposed changes in India’s corporate tax system, but left the headline corporate income tax rate unchanged at 30 percent. That said, medium and small enterprises with annual turnover of upto Rs 50 crore, would now be taxed at 25 percent, from 30 percent earlier. The lower rate is a carryover from Jaitley’s to-do list of 2015 when he said the corporate income tax would progressively be cut to 25 percent over four years, but will be accompanied by fewer deductions.

SPINNING JOBS

Jaitley proposed incentives for the labour-intensive leather sector as part of the government’s signature Make in India initiative to boost manufacturing and create jobs.

H-1B Reform Bill Introduced in US House of Representatives

A legislation has been introduced in the US House of Representatives which among other things calls for more than doubling the minimum salary of H-1B visa holders to USD 130,000, making it difficult for firms to use the programme to replace American employees with foreign workers, including from India.

The High-Skilled Integrity and Fairness Act of 2017 introduced by California Congressman Zoe Lofgren prioritises market based allocation of visas to those companies willing to pay 200 per cent of a wage calculated by survey, eliminates the category of lowest pay, and raises the salary level at which H-1B dependent employer are exempt from non displacement and recruitment attestation requirements to greater than USD 130,000.

This is more than double of the current H-1B minimum wage of USD 60,000 which was established in 1989 and since then has remained unchanged.

India Economic Survey 2017 LIVE: Arvind Subramanian says economy stable despite cash ban, FCNR
The Economic Survey should be tabled anytime now. CEA Arvind Subramanian will hold a press conference outlining its key takeaways at 1 pm.

There will be plenty of interesting economic concepts that are expected to find a mention in the Economic Survey. For instance, universal basic income is something that might find a mention.

Key takeaways from the President’s speech:

– Focus on urban infrastructure continues with an outlay of Rs 50,000 crore. Metro rail for 4 cities has been sanctioned along with extension of Chennai metro has been approved. Reflects the continuing commitment of the government to upgrade infrastructure, which is vital to efficiency and export competitiveness.

– Various measures to curb black money has been taken which will continue to remain the focus area. This should help achieve the twin objects of widening the tax base as well as lowering tax rates wherever possible.

We’ll keep getting you catchy bytes from the President’s speech.

The tabling of the Economic Survey should take place shortly. The survey, running into hundreds of pages, provides an insight into the government’s thinking on economic issues even as some critics choose to look upon it as nothing more than the CEA’s wish-list, which is rarely acted upon.

Still, for anyone who closely tracks the economy, it offers a treasure trove of data through which to evaluate it.

Other highlights from the President’s speech:

– Sowing area has shown 6 percent improvement in yields during rabi season

– 1.4 lakh villages declared defecation free

– Free gas connections provided to 5 crore households

– ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ Yojana yielding encouraging results

– Rs 6,000 crore announced to boost employment and exports in apparels industry

– 1 crore bank accounts have been opened for young girls

“My government has taken proactive steps to control prices of pulses, to protect farmers’ interest and those of consumer. Eight lakh tonnes of pulses have been procured,” the President says.
