Sebi imposes Rs 10 lakh fine on Karvy Financial Services for not making open offer timely, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Markets regulator Sebi has levied a fine of Rs 10 lakh on Karvy Financial Services Ltd for delay in making public announcement to acquire shares of Regaliaa Reality Ltd.

” … by not making the mandatory public announcement within the stipulated time period the Noticee has violated the statutory requirements of law and accordingly, the Noticee has to be penalised for the same,” Sebi said.

Karvy Financial made public announcement for open offer with a delay of 81 days, in violation of Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers (SAST) norms.

The probe found that Karvy had extended a loan amount of Rs 7 crore to Regaliaa whose promoters had pledged 55.56 per cent of the paid-up share capital in favour of Karvy, in addition to the securities for availing the loan.

Karvy invoked the pledge as the firm defaulted on payment of instalments. This took its shareholding in the company to 55.56 per cent, thereby breaching the threshold of 25 per cent as stipulated under SAST norms.

Sebi then directed Karvy in October 2016 to make the public announcement to acquire shares of the target company within 45 days.

However, aggrieved by the regulator’s order, Karvy filed an appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal which was dismissed in April 2018, thereby reaffirming Sebi’s decision.

Accordingly, it was required to make the public announcement within 45 days from the date of the tribunal’s order but it made the announcement only in August 2018, with a delay of 81 days.

In a separate order on Wednesday, Sebi has disposed of enforcement proceedings against the depositories — CDSL and NSDL.

The order came after Sebi carried out an inspection to ascertain whether the depositories had conformed with the share reconciliation-related responsibility.

Sebi, while disposing of the matter, noted that the case of violation of market norms against the depositories does not stand established.

In the current low-interest-rate scenario where interest rates on fixed deposits of banks are at an all-time low of around 5.5 per cent, investors especially senior citizens are hunting for other instruments under the debt category. When it comes to secure investments for senior citizens there is a range of instruments such as Senior Citizen Saving Scheme (SCSS), Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY), Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS), or Floating Rate Savings Bonds.

These instruments have a long maturity period which purely implies that senior citizens having long-term financial goals can step out to invest in.

ABSL Mutual Fund spots digitalization and sustainability among top trends for future, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund has come up with their annual trendspotting report. The report analyses the big trends that have played out over the last couple of decades, and have identified the key enablers of any big structural trend. Based on these enablers, the fund house has identified the key trends of the future and its potential beneficiary sectors. The five important segments that the fund house is looking at are- Manufacturing, Digitalization, Sustainability, Cyclical Revival in Real Estate and Revival in Mid & Small Caps.

The Alternate Assets Equity Investments team of the ABSL AMC has done the study capturing insights on key sectoral trends over the last two decades and applying the insights from this research to arrive at the Five Big Trends for the Future.

The fund house said that, looking at the past market data, one can decipher the interplay of various macro and micro factors coming together to create a market cycle that favours a set of industries.

“At Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited, we believe that key to successful investing over a long period is an ability to spot trends. Looking at data since 2002, the top five performing sectors vary greatly in each market cycle. The variation in returns among the best and worst performing industries during a cycle is too large, again underscoring the importance of picking the right themes. Through this annual research initiative, we will bring forward some of the key market insights and dynamics at play, which we believe will be important enablers in investment decisions,” said A. Balasubramanian, MD & CEO, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited.

The research suggests that a mix of push and pull factors to drive manufacturing in India like Atmanirbhar Bharat & Vocal for Local Initiatives by the GOI, along with diversification of global supply chains will push the manufacturing segment up in the coming years. Similarly, digitalization in India is fast tracked due to low cost of data, government initiatives like Aadhar, UPI, and increased adoption by the Corporate sector to improve productivity.

On the other hand, rising risks from Environment are pushing governments & companies to adopt a more sustainable way of doing business through green fuel, green technologies, and green mobility, hence pushing the sustainable assets up.

Low interest rates, COVID-19 induced WFH trend and Industry consolidation induced by RERA & availability of capital to larger players should lead to revival in real estate and ancillary sectors like building materials. Also, Mid and Small caps after 3 years of underperformance should outperform large caps, led by economic recovery, lower interest rates, and increased representation in emerging sectors like chemicals, digital platforms, etc.

India Stack to accelerate growth in digital financial services, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


India’s digital finance has the capabilities to transform the emerging economy and has built a state-of-the-art digital financial infrastructure, India Stack, for public welfare. India Stack empowers India’s financial inclusion, open banking initiatives, digital innovation, and digital transformation for businesses and the country.

Built upon an open application programming interface (API), the biometric-enabled Aadhaar system, the India Stack creates a gateway for the digital ecosystem around a uniquely identifiable individual. India Stack aims to create a modern India with a payment system and transition to a cashless economy. It promotes paperless systems with billions of artifacts and a unique digital biometric identity accessible to billions of users, such as Aadhar, eKYC, eSign and DigiLocker.

India Stack consists of three layers of open APIs: identity, payments, and data-sharing.

Potential to transform the financial services

Indian financial services have moved to digital payments through the UPI infrastructure for a less-cash economy. Financial processes such as loan approvals have become fast and paperless through adoption of eKYC and digital signatures.

This infrastructure is available to industry participants, with a few restrictions to ensure financial stability and regulatory monitoring. The objective is to make financial services easily accessible for customers and digitally competent. It enables the innovation at scale.

It digitizes instantaneous payments and collections and empowers users to have control over data. It enables the real-time transfer of government subsidies and support into citizens’ Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.

Moreover, it makes delivering financial services easy and cost-efficient for enterprises of all sizes. India Stack reimagines an ecosystem where service providers can seamlessly offer their services with confidence to customers whose identities are well established. It can be a fintech-enabled credit marketplace, for example, where say a loan service provider enables the end-to-end digitization of cash flow-based lending for small businesses.

Encourage digitization of business processes

This digital evolution or evolution of fintech aims to establish a digital-first economy. It pushes business leaders to deploy emerging technologies to ease up the gap between customers and financial companies. The financial services industry has successfully developed layered platforms that can deliver these functionalities to various stakeholders.

Moving forward, Forrester’s Ashutosh Sharma, VP and research director, further elaborates the five key lessons for the business planning to leverage India Stack.

Design for scale and plan for contingencies. On one hand India-stack enables businesses to pursue a high-volume low-margin business model, on the other Aadhaar-based eKYC has been a subject of litigation in the past causing uncertainties. Altering processes as per India’s Supreme Court orders is costly and time-consuming. Hence, it is advisable, for example, to use a combination of the Aadhaar-based eKYC process and a contingent process.
Ensure digitization of business processes to the extent possible. Business leaders can digitize the maximum of their business processes using India Stack. Digital business leaders must seek the best practices around the India stack and ensure that they are able to use India Stack’s capabilities as per industry standards.

In India, data-sharing extends to more classes of data than in Europe and the UK. This data is outside the sharing perimeter but can nonetheless inform financial decisions such as credit assessments, giving an edge to tech giants.
Obtaining relevant data in the context of opening banking and digitally streamlined lending there are trust issues associated with the data available from account aggregators. The lack of data sanitization and validation will limit potential innovation and the ability to make informed credit decisions.

Firms must not rely solely on India Stack for business outcomes, the model in self is still evolving and has gaps. There are limitations with Aadhaar or eSignature due to the lack of a legal mandate for businesses and users.

To elaborate more upon the topics like above and the evolution of digital banking in India, Forrester is hosting its annual “India Financial Services Webcast Week 2021” scheduled for August 10-13 at 2:00-3:00pm IST daily. The webcast will focus on how Financial Services firm can leverage emerging technologies, adopt an adaptive tech architecture, and retire their technical debt and become future fit in the process.

Ideally though IPO listing gains in recent time as listed above can be overwhelming to the tune of 100% or even higher, none can with certainty ensure such high returns. The factors that determine listing gains for a scrip are intrinsic to the company as well as depend on the market momentum. Even a good company with sound fundamentals may see a weak listing owing to weak market momentum. And even if you make some mind boggling returns on the first day of the company hitting the Indian bourses and are not sure of its outlook going ahead, you may even book partial profits in the scrip.

DICGC Act: Here’s What FD Investors Need To Know After Recent Changes Made By FM

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Key details of amendment in DICGC Act

  • The Union Cabinet has agreed that fixed deposit investors can claim or recover the money deposited within 90 days once a responsible bank goes under a moratorium.
  • The initial 45 days will be set aside for banks in bankruptcy to be handed over to the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation. FM stated that the procedure will be finished without having to wait for a settlement within 90 days.
  • All commercial banks in India, including subsidiaries of overseas banks operating in India, would be subject to this law, which will also apply to institutions that are now subject to a moratorium.
  • Sitharaman further stated that the DICGC Act will insure 98.3 percent of all bank accounts, with above 50 percent coverage in respect of deposit amount.
  • She further added that “Each depositor’s deposit in a bank is insured up to a maximum of Rs 5 lakh, for both principal and interest. Now in India, with an increase in insurance amount from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, this insurance is going to cover 98.3% of all deposit accounts. This clearance now, therefore, is going to give relief to all those institutions which have already come under moratorium. It is not going retrospectively back, but if your bank has already been declared under moratorium, this will cover.”

Which deposits are covered under DICGC?

Which deposits are covered under DICGC?

Except for the deposits listed below, the DICGC protects all deposits, including savings, fixed, current, and recurring deposits.

  • Deposits of foreign Governments;
  • Deposits of Central/State Governments;
  • Inter-bank deposits;
  • Deposits of the State Land Development Banks with the State co-operative bank;
  • Any amount due on account of and deposit received outside India
  • Any amount, which has been specifically exempted by the corporation with the previous approval of the Reserve Bank of India.

How does DICGC insurance cover works?

How does DICGC insurance cover works?

By citing an example on its official website, DICGC has stated that “The DICGC insures principal and interest upto a maximum amount of five lakhs. For example, if an individual had an account with a principal amount of 4,95,000 plus accrued interest of 4,000, the total amount insured by the DICGC would be 4,99,000. If, however, the principal amount in that account was five lakhs, the accrued interest would not be insured, not because it was interest but because that was the amount over the insurance limit.” Before deposit insurance is computed, all deposits held in the same kind of possession at the same bank are summed together. According to the DICGC Act, if the funds are under various forms of possession or are placed in different banks, they will be individually insured.

Motilal Oswal Has A “Buy” On This Auto, Cement And Steel Stock As Economy Recovers

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Buy Ashok Leyland for a 28% Upside, says Motilal Oswal

Broking firm, Motilal Oswal has a buy call on the stock of Ashok Leyland, India’s second biggest commercial vehicle player. The firm believes that Ashok Leyland’s Electrical Vehicle Strategy is in line with the technological revolution seen globally.

“We expect electrification in commercial vehicles to play out earlier in intra-city Buses and LCVs. While Ashok Leyland’s strategy is exciting and leverages on the strengths of both Optare (Switch Mobility) and Ashok Leyland, details are awaited for a more concrete plan and timeline for their EV roadmap.

The brokerage believes that the company would benefit from an expansion of its revenue/profit pool by ramping-up in LCVs, Exports, Spares, and Defense. The stock trades at 18.3x FY23E EPS and 9.9x EV/EBITDA. We maintain our Buy rating,” the brokerage has said.

Ashok Leyland recently showcased growth opportunities in the electrical vehicles segment. Its latest strategic initiative, through Switch Mobility, is in shaping the commercial e-Mobility space in India and overseas. Shares of Ashok Leyland were last seen trading at Rs 123 on the NSE.

Dalmia Bharat

Dalmia Bharat

Motilal Oswal is also bullish on another economy play, cement. The brokerage has recommended buying the stock of Dalmia Bharat in its latest report. Among the positives that the firm sees include margins led growth and a gain in market share for the company.

“Led by expansions, Dalmia Bharat is well-placed to gain market share. We estimate a 14% volume CAGR over FY21-23E,” the brokerage has said.

The company aims to be a pan India pure play Cement company, having a significant presence in its operating geographies, and plans to grow capacity at 14-15% CAGR to 110-130mt by CY31. “Around Rs 50 billion has been allocated towards its new expansion plan, of which Rs 13 billion will be spent on clinker debottlenecking. We reiterate our Buy rating with a target price of Rs 2,480 per share on 12x Sep’23E EV/EBITDA, ” the brokerage has said.

JSW Steel

JSW Steel

Motilal Oswal has set a 16% higher target on the stock of JSW Steel. The firm believes that the high debt levels are not a concern, as growth capex improves outlook.

“The announcement of the 7.5mtpa capacity expansion at Vijayanagar – coupled with the acquisition of Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd (BPSL) and the completion of the 5mtpa Dolvi expansion – indicates the management’s focus to grow its market share and the comfort to manage its cash flows and leverage,” Motilal Oswal has said.

“We like JSW Steel given its strong project pipeline and cost reduction initiatives, which should support margins. Over FY21-23E, we expect an above-industry volume CAGR of 17%, driven by the Dolvi expansion. We value JSW Steel at 6x FY23E EV/EBITDA to arrive at target price of Rs 840. Maintain Buy,” the brokerage has said.

Dr Reddy’s: Long term value of the stock remains attractive

Emkay Global says that it continues to remain positive on the company as it believes Dr Reddy’s Labs has good US pipeline visibility. “In addition, the company’s steadfast focus on the India business continues and should drive 220 basis points growth outperformance relative to the India pharma market, along with margin expansion, as the sales force remains stable. The company’s strategy of leveraging the US portfolio for Europe and ROW is expected to drive growth and margin accretion in the medium term,” the brokerage has said.

The stock is trading at an attractive valuation of 24 times 1-year forward P/E vs. the historical average of 26 times, the brokerage has noted. “Our target price of Rs 5,755 represents a P/E of 21 times on FY24E core EPS (Rs246) and we have a buy on the stock,” the brokerage says. The stock of Dr Reddy’s was last seen trading at Rs 4744 on the BSE. The stock had plunged 10% earlier this week post the quarterly numbers that were declared, which were below street estimates.
