Sensex spurts on GAAR relief...But anxiety prevails

The main Indian stock indices ended with handsome gains on Tuesday, almost managing to reverse the previous day’s losses. The sentiment in the Indian market perked up in the afternoon trades after a Finance Ministry official was quoted as saying that the Government will not target Participatory Notes (PNs) across the board under the new GAAR regulations. Monday’s sharp fall had come amid fears that FIIs from Mauritius and investments made through PNs will be taxed from April 1 when the proposed GAAR comes into effect. PNs will be taxed under GAAR if they fail in one out of four tests, according to reports. The tests include Lack of Commercial Purpose test, Bonafide Purpose test, Misuse & Abuse test and Abnormality test.

Taxing times

"There is no such thing as a good tax." - Winston Churchill. Reported clarifications on GAAR tax regulations and soothing words from the FM on the vexed issue may have calmed some frayed nerves. However, the uncertainties do not end here. As a result, the market is unlikely to heave a sigh of relief until the matter is settled. The sudden drop in FII inflows in the past couple of sessions is testimony of escalating tension on the GAAR issue. We expect a lower opening as global markets have taken a breather after rallying on Ben Bernanke’s dovish remarks. US stocks fell on mixed economic reports. European indices too finished lower. Stock benchmarks in Japan and China are pacing a decline in Asia this morning.

Sensex provisionally up 1.33%; ITC scales record high

Key benchmark indices surged in choppy trade after television reports said the government will not target participatory notes in a blanket manner under its newly proposed rules targeting tax avoidance. The barometer index, BSE Sensex, was provisionally up 227.28 points or 1.33%, up 218.90 points from the day's low and off 86.78 points from the day's high. The market breadth was negative. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) logged small gains in volatile trade. Cigarette maker ITC scaled a record high.

Participatory Notes or P-Notes are instruments issued by registered foreign institutional investors to overseas investors, who wish to invest in the Indian stock markets without registering themselves with the market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). Only participatory notes which fail certain regulatory tests may be subject to taxation, the reports said.
