China declares all cryptocurrency transactions illegal, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


China‘s central bank on Friday declared all transactions involving Bitcoin and other virtual currencies illegal, stepping up a campaign to block use of unofficial digital money. Chinese banks were banned from handling cryptocurrencies in 2013, but the government issued a reminder this year. That reflected official concern cryptocurrency mining and trading might still be going on or the state-run financial system might be indirectly exposed to risks.

Friday’s notice complained Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies disrupt the financial system and are used in money-laundering and other crimes.

“Virtual currency derivative transactions are all illegal financial activities and are strictly prohibited,” the People’s Bank of China said on its website.

Promoters of cryptocurrencies say they allow anonymity and flexibility, but Chinese regulators worry they might weaken the ruling Communist Party’s control over the financial system and say they might help to conceal criminal activity.

The People’s Bank of China is developing an electronic version of the country’s yuan for cashless transactions that can be tracked and controlled by Beijing.

Bitcoin slips after China central bank vows to crack down on crypto trading, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Bitcoin fell nearly 5 per cent on Friday after China’s central bank said it would crack down on cryptocurrency trading, banning overseas exchanges from providing services to mainland investors.

The largest cryptocurrency was last down 4.6 per cent at $42,874, with smaller coins that typically trade in tandem with bitcoin also tumbling. Ether fell over 8 per cent while XRP slipped 7 per cent.

The People’s Bank of China also said it will bar financial institutions, payment companies and internet firms from facilitating cryptocurrency trading, and will strengthen monitoring of risks from such activities.

“Crypto markets are in an extremely frail state overall, and these sorts of downswings speak to that; there’s a degree of panic in the air,” said Joseph Edwards, head of research at cryptocurrency broker Enigma Securities.

“Crypto continues to exist in a grey area of legality across the board in China.”

Shares in cryptocurrency and blockchain-related firms also came under pressure with U.S. listed miners Riot Blockchain , Marathon Digital and Bit Digital slipping between 4.1 per cent and 5.1 per cent in premarket trading. China-focused SOS slipped 1.2 per cent while crypto exchange Coinbase Global fell 2.7 per cent.

Earlier this year, Chinese authorities said they would crack down on cryptocurrency mining, sparking a massive sell-off of bitcoin and other coins.

Price target of Rs 2,915 on the stock of Hindustan Unilever

Prabhudas Lilladher expects HUL to witness month on month improvement in demand since June-21 aided by resilient rural demand and improving urban demand.

“Inflation in Palmoil and Crude is likely to pressurize margins, however the intensity will be likely lower than 1Q22. Calibrated price hikes will not be sufficient to ward off the inflation in input costs and higher intensity in ad-spends. We estimate 8% volume and 4% growth in realisations during 2QFY22. EBIDTA and PAT is estimated to grow at 9.4% (Rs.31.4 billion) and 9.3% (Rs 22.3 billion),” the brokerage has said.

“We believe worst is over in margin pressures led by higher prices and peaked out input costs. We estimate 15% PAT CAGR over FY21-24 and arrive at DCF based target price of Rs 2915. Although recent upsurge in stock price limits near term gains, we recommend accumulating Hindustan Unilever for Long term,” Prabhudas Lilladher.

The stock of Hindustan Unilever was last seen trading at Rs 2,741 on the NSE.

Bombay Mercantile Bank recovered bad loans worth over Rs 6 crore in 2020-21 and expects better realisation going forward, a senior official has said. Recovery of NPAs (non-performing assets) has been a major thrust area for the bank. The bank has taken specific steps for reduction of NPAs by formulating policy for recovery of NPA through personal follow-ups and other legal measures, Zeeshan Mehdi, Chairman, Bombay Mercantile Co-operative Bank, said in his address at the annual general meeting (AGM).

“These efforts have resulted in the bank posting a recovery of Rs 6.10 crore, in NPA accounts. Due to the pendency of cases in various courts whose functioning was hampered because of the pandemic, resulting in delays in final verdicts, the recoveries in many NPA accounts could not be achieved as targeted,” he added.

Mehdi said the bank expects a healthy recovery of NPAs during the ensuing year.

The bank’s gross bad loans stood at 6.61 per cent and the net NPAs were 5.11 per cent during FY21.

The NPA is slightly higher due to the pandemic, however, it is still within the permissible limit of the regulators, he added.

The CRAR (capital to risk-weighted assets ratio) stood at 17.26 per cent against 16.88 per cent in the preceding fiscal.

BMC Bank registered a net profit of Rs 3.78 crore in FY21. Mehdi said the bank posted a second consecutive year of profit, however, the target was much higher.

The total business of the bank during 2020-21 stood at Rs 3,467.55 crore, of which deposits were Rs 2,363.38 crore and advances Rs 1,104.17 crore.

“During the year, the bank has been allotted its own IFSC code by the RBI, with all branches using exclusive IFSC codes. The bank is now a direct member of IFTAS and has been given permission to use INFINET connectivity to provide a variety of services to our customers and our treasury department,” the chairman said.

These services are RTGS, NEFT, SGL account with RBI, NDS-OM, NDS-Call, SWAP, LAF and MSF. Earlier, the bank did not have such facilities, he added.

The implementation of these digital initiatives would result in the enhancement of the customer experience, he said.

“The bank is moving ahead digitally at a fast pace…we are launching Mobile-App to our valued customers to meet the emerging business challenges and be at par with the best in the industry,” Mehdi added. PTI KPM BAL BAL

The fixed deposit (FD) is one of the most popular investment avenues. Many investors prefer bank FDs over equities as the former are considered safe. The return earned from a bank FD is fixed and known at the time of investing unlike in case of equity.

Fixed deposits are also known as term deposits. This is because money is deposited with a bank for a fixed predetermined time period or term. Here are certain things that you must know while opening an FD account.

You can open a term deposit account with a bank where one already has a savings account. Some banks may allow you to open an FD account without having to open a savings bank account. However, you will be required to undergo a know-your-customer (KYC) process in case the bank allows you to place an FD without a savings account. You will be asked to provide self-attested photocopies of ID proof such as PAN, address proof such as Aadhaar, Voter ID card, passport etc. and coloured passport size photographs. You will be required to show the original documents which will be returned immediately post-verification.

  • Minimum and maximum investment amount

The minimum amount needed to open a fixed deposit account varies from bank to bank. However, there is no limit on the maximum amount which one can invest in an FD.The minimum and maximum tenure offered for which an FD can be placed varies from one bank to another. Usually, one can invest in FD for a minimum period of 7 days and for a maximum of 10 years. You can choose the period for which you wish to keep your FD as per your requirement.

All data sourced from Economic Times Intelligence Group (ETIG)
Data as on September 24, 2021
The interest rate offered on fixed deposits (FDs) will depend on the period for which you are investing in the FD and also vary from bank to bank for FDs for the same tenure. Senior citizens are typically offered higher interest rates. To receive the interest payment, you can choose either cumulative option or non-cumulative option.

Under the cumulative option, interest accrued on the deposit is reinvested and paid at the time of maturity along with principal amount.

In the non-cumulative option, interest is credited into the depositors account at the pay-out interval chosen at the time of placing the FD. Generally, one can choose from the options of receiving the interest on monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually basis as offered by the bank.

Interest received on FD is fully taxable in the hands of the investor. It will be taxed at the rates applicable to your income tax slabs. TDS will be deducted by the bank if the interest payment in a single financial year exceeds Rs 10,000, as per current tax laws. To avoid TDS, one can submit Form 15G or Form 15H (as applicable) to the bank.In case of any urgent requirements, one can break his/her FD before the maturity date. A penalty may be levied by the bank on premature withdrawals. The penalty amount varies from one bank to another.

While placing a FD, one must check the rules regarding pre-mature withdrawals. Sometimes, banks offer FDs without premature withdrawal facility as well as FDs without penalty on premature withdrawal.

One can use FD as a collateral to obtain a loan. The maximum loan sanctioned is usually a certain percentage of the principal deposit. This percentage may vary bank to bank.Nomination facility for Fixed Deposits (FDs) is also available.At maturity, if no specific instructions are given, most banks automatically renew the FD for the same period for which it was initially placed at the interest rates prevailing on the date the FD matures. If you do not want automatic renewal of your FD, you need to choose this option on the account opening form.

If you have forgotten to mention it, then you can visit the bank branch on the day of maturity and ask them to credit the proceeds into your savings account.

Nowadays banks offer the facility of opening an FD account online via Net banking through your account. One can invest in FD without having to visit a branch physically. However, remember that your bank may not issue you a printed FD receipt/advice if invested online.
