stock tips 24.10.2010

Coal india IPO has dented some secondary market investments and indian govt owned financial institutions have sold indian shares in order to prop up Coal india IPO. So there is decline in NIFTY.

Investors get time till Oct 25 to withdraw CIL IPO bids


Stating that there were certain inadvertent errors that crept into its offer document, Coal India (CIL) today offered its investors time till October 25 to reconsider their decision to take part in its IPO.
"...It is clarified that on account of typographical errors in the company's standalone summary statements of profit and loss (restated), the amount shown under accretion in stock and other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 on pages...Of the Red Herring Prospectus were inadvertently interchanged with each other.
"...In view of the above, kindly note that the bidders including QIB bidders, if they so desire, may withdraw their bids. The request for withdrawal of such bids shall be received on or before 5:00 PM on October 25, 2010," said in a statement to the stock exchange which coinciding with the final day of public offer.
Market experts said that whenever there are any changes made in the prospectus of IPO bound companies, regulatory norms mandate them to make public announcements and give investor an option to withdraw bids.
"It is not the first time such a thing has happened. In such scenarios, generally investors have not been seen withdrawing their bids," a merchant banker said.
Among many such IPOs, VA Tech Wabag had given investors the option to withdraw their bids in its recent share sale as certain errors came to light in its offer documents.
"Generally speaking, we have not seen investors withdrawing their bids from the company due to this," the banker said.
Meanwhile, Coal India maintained that there has been no change in the total income of the company or the company's standalone summary statement of profit and loss in the offer document due to the error.

Many investors may think whether it is a plan to allow FII/mutual funds/LIC ti withdraw their applications in part before allotment thus misguiding the retail investors about total subscriptions before they subscribe on the closing day.But chance is given to retail investors also to withdraw but quantum of withdrawal by FII/mutual funds/LIC should be made public and retail investors should be allowed one more day for withdrawal as per the tradition in offer documents.



On seeing the downtrend in price of tata steel
, I could understand the level of games that are played by FIs especially when the derivatives settlement approaches fast for Oct 10. Anyhow, still I recommend Tata steel in the portfolio of one's investment as it is the only stock that is available cheap. In this respect, the following research editions also enthused me.
My recommendation:
Don't sell Tata steel. Either buy at current price of Rs.617 or Hold. You will get good returns in another 6 months to 1 year. For other stocks, my old posts stand valid including visa steel, Jp associates etc.

Edelweiss: Target Rs.781/-
Raising consolidated EBITDA by ~7% in FY11 and ~10% in FY12
We are revising upwards Tata Steel Europe’s (Corus) EBITDA by 6.7% to USD
841 mn in FY11 and by 5.6% to USD 1.3 bn for FY12, primarily due to betterthan-
expected realisations in Europe. We increase our FY12 EBITDA/t for Corus
from USD 66/t earlier to USD 80/t. For the Indian operations, we raise our
estimated EBITDA to USD 2.3 bn (up 5.7%) and USD 2.4 bn (up 12.4%) for
FY11 and FY12, respectively. This is led by increase in steel prices ahead of
expectations and firm price outlook.
􀂃 2.9 mtpa brown-field expansion on track; to be completed by Dec-11
The 2.9 mtpa brown-field expansion will fully commission by December 2011,
with blast furnace and pellet plants likely to commission in June 2011. We expect
incremental volumes of 0.2 mtpa in FY12 and 2.4 mtpa in FY13 from this plant.
Dhamra port, with 27 mtpa capacity, has just commenced operations.
􀂃 Better visibility on raw material projects; significant long-term value
Tata Steel is executing projects in Mozambique for coking coal and Canada for
iron ore. These projects are gathering pace and are expected to be completed by
end CY11. The company could attain raw material integration of 15-25% through
these projects.
􀂃 Outlook and valuations: Positive stance; maintain ‘BUY’
We continue to believe that margins for non-integrated steel players would bottom
in Q2FY11 and expand thereafter. Steel prices have increased by ~USD 25
recently globally even as contract iron ore and coking coal prices have declined by
~USD 15/t, suggesting this play-out has already started. For Tata Steel
specifically, we see multiple triggers playing out, including Corus achieving
EBITDA/t of USD 80/t in FY12, sale of TCP plant by Q1FY12, ramp-up of Dhamra
port, the 2.9 mtpa expansion and international raw material projects completing
by end CY11. Potential surprises could be through additional sale of non-core
assets. We value international raw material projects at INR 23/share and also
considering increase in our estimates, raise our fair valuation from INR 623/share
to INR 781/share. We maintain ‘BUY/Sector Outperformer’ on the stock.

Another research report says price target: Rs.846/-
Though this is on the higher side, Rs. 700 in short term and Rs.800 on long term(1 or 2 years) appears to be reasonable.The report goes like this:

Firm Indian operations, Corus uncertain
 Corus to remain under pressure despite strong Q1FY11
Corus’ (TATA Steel UK) Q1FY11 results reinforced the operational
turnaround. However, we expect the next two quarters to be
challenging for the company due to: 1) pressure on utilisation and
2) higher raw material prices should squeeze margins. Despite this,
we believe Corus should be cash positive and EBITDA/t will stabilize
in the range of US$50-70/t from Q3FY11F up from US$30-35/t
expected in Q2FY11F.
 However domestic business to remain highly profitable
The company’s Indian operation’s profitability has surprised the street
both through higher realizations and lower costs. Although we expect
EBITDA/t to come down from Q1FY11 levels with the fall in steel
prices, we believe higher volumes will keep absolute profits strong.
Volumes have picked up in Q2FY11, after higher imports had
impacted sales in Q1FY11. We expect consensus earning upgrades
for the India business due to positive surprises in Q1FY11.
 Valuations attractive, already factoring uncertainty
We believe steel prices should start stabilizing after the recent
turbulence, as indicated by high scrap prices. The Indian business
remains strong with EBITDA/t of US$ 350-400/t despite the correction
in steel prices. Since there is consensus about strength of Indian
business, we believe the current stock price is ascribing significant
negative value to Corus. We estimate the value domestic business at
Rs753/share (at 10x FY12E EPS). Therefore, the negative value
ascribed to Corus is closer to Rs100/sh. This is unjustified, in our view,
given our expectation that Corus will be cash positive in Q2FY11,
which is typically the worst quarter for them. We value Corus at 5x
EV/EBITDA at EV of US$ 5bn and contributes Rs34 to our target price.
South East Asia business is also valued at 5x EV/EBITDA and
contribute Rs15/share. Rs44 comes from its stake in Riversdale
mining (RIV AU, not covered).

So don't sell Tata steel. Either BUY or HOld. Don't sell. This is the only share which has got potential in the NIFTY stocks.Tata Steel today said its sales increased by 14 per cent to 1.66 million tonnes in the July-September quarter of the current financial year over the year-ago period, mainly on account of rise in demand for its products.

Coal india IPO- whether FII , banks, Mutual funds will burn their fingers?

It is a good news for Govt of India as Coal india IPO is subscribed 12 times by QIP segment but response is poor in retail.

This is one news item in equity master:

Take the Coal India IPO for instance. Millions of investors are scrambling to get a slice of this IPO. It's not only because this IPO is the biggest in India so far. There are other factors too driving this enthusiasm. For starters, the US and Europe are still down in the dumps. Thus, foreign investors are putting money by the dozen in emerging markets in India. The perception then is that stockmarkets in India will continue to rise. As a result of which IPOs would also yield attractive returns. So strong is this mindset, that investors have begun treading on dangerous ground. They are borrowing in this bull market to invest in new issues.

In this regard, an article in Economic Times has quoted a trader - "I decided to take a Rs 9-crore loan for the Coal India IPO so that I can leverage my own fund of Rs 1 crore. This would increase my chances of getting more shares in the allotment 10 times and help me make a killing."

Surely, a 10% gain (assuming that he get entire allocation of Rs 10 crore) can double his net worth almost overnight but a 10% fall can also wipe out his entire net worth. And it is this downside that he is not paying any attention to. Indeed, this kind of speculation is what has led to the downfall of many investors in the past. And is bound to do so in the future. "

Tread carefull in IPOs . Better to go for known secondary market shares where PE multiples are less than 8 or so. This will safeguard your hard earned money. Refer my previous recommendations and go for sound investment as some institutions manned by inefficient people sells good shares and purchases dud shares thus bringing down the institution to dust.

Buy reliance industries Rs.1045. short Target:Rs.1070


Buy JP Associates Rate: Rs.127 ST(shorttime target) Rs. 140
Cement price increased by Rs.25 per bag through out india by all cement companies.
When we recall the old news i.e. Jaiprakash Associates Limited announced sales results for the month and four months ended Aug. 2010. For the month, the company reported a 51% jump in sales at 1.085 million. The company had dispatched 719,000 tonnes cement in the same month last year. Cumulative sales of the company in April-August period of the current year stood at 620,000 tonnes, up 59% from the same period last year. So expect good results from JP associates and corner the shares now at this rate.
Also the interview with chairman, JP associate recently hints about good things to come in JP associate table. So don't lack behind to own good share which is having limited retail public holdings to the extent of 11% only ;rest is in the hands of institutions and promoters who will not sell it as JPAssociate is multi-business entity and growing company.

"Q: What about the current year? What kind of guidance can you hold out on the topline and if you could break it up between the three segments as well?
A: I can tell you that it is almost the second month of Q1 of FY11 and we all know how Indian economy has shown its resilience. With the grace of God and on our strong foundation—all the three revenue streams of the JP Ltd are on good track, there is good momentum. Our commissioned cement capacity as of March 2010 is 22 million tonne including the 2.2 million tonne capacity, which the group gets from its joint venture with SAIL, which has been commissioned ahead of schedule.
We are optimistic and we are seeing the type of production we are able to get and the type of sales we are able to realize in the market that before March 2011, we would be able to sell and produce almost 20 million tonne, up from 11 million tonne in year ending March 2010. The E&C business, on the strength of healthy order book and projects under advance implementation, is expected to contribute handsomely.
I have all the reason to believe that if all goes well for the economy, and GDP is able to sustain more than 7% rate, we are in for a very good year as far as FY11 is concerned. It’s logical that for cement, we will be able to produce 20 million tonne up from 11 million tonne—the turnover from cement itself will be more than Rs 9,000 crore and total turnover we hope to achieve in excess of Rs 16,000 crore for current financial year.
Q: If that is your guidance for FY11, Rs 16,000 crore on turnover, what kind of margin profile will you enjoy given your view on cement prices and E&C margins this year?
A: The EBITDA was almost 40% for year ended March ‘10 and we have been able to maintain healthy margin of 28-29%. I am reasonably sure that we will be able to maintain this level of margin because of the type of business we are in and the type of efficiency we are able to achieve consistently."

Coal India IPO appears to be priced high as per some experts.Price may be around Rs.150 to Rs.200 taking into account all constraints in mines industry. The price band decided now is 225-245 with 5% discount to retail investors. It may go to the way NTPC has gone.The government interferance, high manpower strength, high salary outgo, inferior coal quality, Difficult recovery from EB boards and other Govt sectors for coal bills outstanding, Mafia in Bihar belt all will add woes to Coal india and its investors.Also new mining policy may say to share 26% with local people for mining companies. So it is better to avoid this issue. AFter the issue is over, there will be scramble to sell the shares as most of the retailers took loan from banks,brokerage houses for initial subscription in order to earn some profit. The share price will go down from IPO price. So exercise caution as you may be enter into loss. Think twice before subscription.

Here the purchasers will get limited voting right i.e.they may be having one voting right for ten shares held (vs) one voting right for one share. This helps the promoters to safeguard their hold in the management. Here the sufferers are small investors who will face the erosion of the intrinsic value of the share and DVR holders will get benefit. In order to safeguard the small investors, SEBI should intervene in these cases and issue directive that only in extreme cases , they should go to DVR/QIP after failing in all other avenues where small investors/minority shareholders are not affected. Investor protection forum also should take up this matter to SEBI. Though the funding will be interest free for the company and in the long run, the company will get benefit, in the initial stages,minority share holders gets the jolt. Right issue will be the alternative which will benefit the company when response is expected positively and will reduce loans of the companies. SEBI should allow DVR module only to weak companies which may not able to raise funds from banks or from rights.They can sell shares at discount and get funds. Ispat industries can be an example for this.

NSE/BSE pre-market trading w.e.f. 18.10.2010

Introduction of call option in the pre-market open session:
Price discover is the difficult point in the existing trading system so far at the start of the day in stock market and buyers and sellers are not aware of what will be the fate of their buy and sell requests. So someone gets fat profit and someone get huge loss. In order to streamline this and to help the buyers and sellers about the likely price of the interested shares by matching the buy and sell shares in totality. This will give indicate price of the stock.
Market analysts feel that it is a mechanism that would help deal with volatility in early trades. The investor has an opportunity to put transactions in the terminal in the Trading window of 8 minutes where the investor can see his orders getting matched. The pre-market call auctions have been a mechanism of price discovery in many international markets like NY Stock exchange, NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange, Hong Kong.
For this, first 15 minutes are taken out from the normal trading. This procedure is coming into effect from 19.10.2010 and on 18.10.2010 it will be mock trade and will not have any effect. Now we will see how this will be worked out by exchanges:
SMCA (Secondary market Advisory committee) is the brain child behind this by following examples in the world market.
The following information will be given in the pre-open session.( from 9 am to 9.15am)
1.Indicative equilibrium price of the share.
2.The total buy and sell qty of shares
3.Indicative index
This is for both Nifty, BSE index shares only.For other stocks, normal trading will be from 9 am as usual.
This will be reviewed after 3 months.
Pre-open session starts from 9 am and ends at 9.15 am.
Out of 15 minutes, first 8 minutes are allotted for order placement, order cancellation and order modification. In the 7th or 8th minute, the order placement, modification and cancellation will be randomly closed and this is system driven. Price band of 20% will be applicable on the scripts.
Note:
The exchanges will discover an ‘Equilibrium price’ for the stocks and the ‘indicative index levels’ during these 7 minutes. While these indicative levels will continue to change through the course of the seven minutes, they will be reflective of the general direction of the market and investors can then accordingly place their bids or cancel their bids.
Limit orders and market orders are allowed in the 8 minutes pre-open session which will help to find the indicative price of the scripts. Full quantities of securities are to be given and disclosed qty in parts will not be allowed. After 8th minute, the trades will be executed at the single discovered price for every stock. The opening price for a stock will be the price at which the maximum amount of shares can be traded.
Next 4 minutes are for order matching and trade confirmation for the orders placed.
Last 3 minutes is for time for exchanges to shift from pre-market operation to regular market operation thus giving indicative price for shares in the regular market and thus enabling persons who want to place order after 9.15 am to know the price they are likely to get from their orders.
The equilibrium price shall be the price at which the maximum volume is executable. In case of more than one price meets the said criteria, the equilibrium price shall be the price at which there is minimum order imbalance quantity (unmatched qty). Further in case of more than one price has same minimum order imbalance qty, the equilibrium price will be the price closest to the previous day ending price.
price pur-qty pur-cum-qty sale-qty sale-cum-qty unmatched-qty volume traded
100 0 0 3000 8000 -8000 0
95 2000 2000 3000 5000 -3000 2000
90 3000 5000 1000 2000 3000 2000
85 1500 6500 1000 1000 5500 1000
80 2000 8500 0 0 8500 0
75 1000 9500 0 0 9500 0
The above is an example of first 8 minutes pre-market order position compiled finally. This will be done from first second onwards from 9 am when the stock market opens in order to find out price discovery.
You can notice that purchase qty is added cumulative from top to bottom whereas the sale qty is added cumulatively from top to bottom based on stock price quote by parties for the specified stock in the 8 minutes play.
Unmatched qty is arrived at being the difference between cum Pur qty and sale qty.
The volume traded is arrived at being the difference between buy qty and sell qty for the specified price.
As per the rules formed, the equilibrium price will be fixed based on large volume turnover price. In the above case, large turnover is 2000 but in two different prices. i.e. Rs.95 and Rs.90. Suppose volume tradable was 3000 under Rs.95, then that will be the equilibrium price.
In another case, if 4000 volume tradable under Rs.85 as compared to 3000 volume under 95, then equilibrium price will be Rs.85 only and not Rs.95.
In the above example, top turnover of 2000 comes under two price categories. Hence we have to look into previous closing price rate. The equilibrium price will be the closest price of previous day rate.
1. If the previous closing rate was Rs. 100, then Rs.95 will be taken as equilibrium price.
2.If the previous closing rate was Rs. 89, then Rs.90 will be taken as equilibrium price.
3.If the previous closing rate was midpoint of Rs.95 plus Rs.90, i.e. 92.50, then previous day closing rate will be taken as equilibrium price i.e. Rs.92.50.
After discovery of equilibrium price, after 8 minutes, order execution will take place in the following sequence:
1. Limit orders will be given priority over market orders. Eligible limit buy orders will be matched with eligible sell orders.
2.Residual limit orders will be matched with market orders.
3.Finally market orders are matched with market orders.
If the equilibrium price is not discovered, then entire orders will be shifted to normal order period after initial 15 minutes.
It is important to note that normal trade as per previous practice will be done after 9.15 am for equity derivatives.
It is during this time that the trades will be executed at the single discovered price for every stock. The opening price for a stock will be the price at which the maximum amount of shares can be traded.

PE ratio is around 8 only. This will reduce further due to increase in steel price and reduction in raw material price. So good buy.

Another cost cutting measure taken by Tata steel for profit maximization:


Tata steel management started the exercise of checking viability of all overseas projects one by one in order to achieve optimum profitability. In this direction, Tata Steel Europe has decided to shut down Tata Steel Living Solutions, located at Shotton, North Wales which contributed only loss so far. The unit was established in 2003 and was making modular buildings for the construction industry. The move has put 180 jobs on the block.The operations at Living Solutions are said to be very small compared to Tata Steel Europe and shutting the business will not have any material effect on the company’s financial well being, on the other hand, it can look for buyers of the unit on sale and also reduction in regular pay out as salary.

Dhamra port- 50% equity by Tata steel:

BHUBANESWAR: Dhamra port will be operational soon according to Orissa transport minister Sanjib Sahoo .

Replying to a query by Congress member Bhujabal Majhi, the minister on Friday told the members that the developers had so far invested Rs 2700 crore of the estimated project cost of Rs 3239 crore and nearly 96% of the construction work was over by the end of the last month.(Aug 2010 position)

The port is being developed by Dhamra Port Company Limited, a joint venture of Tata Steel and Larsen & Toubro.

Tata Steel and Larsen & Toubro hold equal stakes in the Dhamra port project, which is being developed on a build, own, operate share and transfer (BOOST) basis.

Mr Sahoo informed that of the 384 displaced people 371 had received compensation and efforts were being made to settle dues of the others at the shortest possible time.

As regards employment generation, the minister said 2881 people were engaged in construction of the port project and the figure would increase once the port becomes operational.

“Dhamra port will be immensely beneficial to the investors in Orissa and its neigbours. It is going to be one of the major ports in the country with 13 berths. Ships having 60 million tons capacity can anchor here,” the minister said.

The construction work for the 62-km rail link from Dhamra to Bhadrak on the main Howrah-Chennai line is almost complete.

Situated between Haldia and Paradip, the port at Dhamra will be the deepest of India with a draught of 18 meters, which can accommodate super cape-size vessels up to 180,000 dead weight tons (DWT).

It is likely to be commissioned in Nov 2010. Looking into the valuation of ports like Mundra, we can guess about value addition to tata steel due to this. So it is a good buy now.

S&P raises ratings on Tata Steel and UK arm news

07 October 2010

Standard & Poor's today said that it had revised its outlooks on India-based Tata Steel Ltd and the former Corus plc, now its UK subsidiary Tata Steel UK Ltd to stable from negative.
We revised the outlook as we believe the potential pressure on Tata Steel UK's liquidity has eased following the refinancing of a £3.67 billion bank loan. The refinancing also reduces the potential pressure on parent Tata Steel's liquidity," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Mehul Sukkawala
Tata Steel's consolidated operating performance has improved over the past year, especially with a turnaround at Tata Steel UK. Tata Steel's consolidated EBITDA margin was about 17 per cent for the six months ended 30 June 2010, compared with negligible margins for the same period last year.

"Tata Steel's and Tata Steel UK's financial metrics have improved. We expect metrics to further improve in the fiscal year ending 31 March 2011. We, however, believe that Tata Steel's financial risk profile remains aggressive, and Tata Steel UK's highly leveraged," S&P said in a statement.

Tata Steel and Tata Steel UKhave adequate liquidity, it added. "The companies' liquidity positions have improved with the refinancing of debt at Tata Steel UK by a new bank loan and a revolver credit facility totaling £3.53 billion. The new bank loan lengthens the repayment schedule and will enable Tata Steel UK to significantly reduce its repayment obligations for the next four to five years. In addition, it carries lighter financial covenants, which Tata Steel UKcan easily meet, and shields the company from any potential downturn in the operating environment."


Business standard says:

Steel firms get back pricing power
Healthy demand, better realisations and benign input prices indicate good prospects.
The outlook for domestic steel manufacturers is improving on the back of strong demand in the country and companies hiking steel prices. Companies including JSW Steel, SAIL and Essar Steel have hiked steel prices in the range of Rs 1,000-1,500 per tonne (or 3-4 per cent) in the last one week, which analysts believe could rise further. In totality, domestic HRC (hot rolled coil) prices are up 13 per cent since July this year, at about Rs 38,700-39,200 ($880-890) per tonne. In the light of the healthy demand, better realisations and benign input prices, the prospects of steel manufacturers look good.

Tata steel: PE ratio is only 8.5(EPS 72 and price 640) for current year and for next year it is
8.
For SAIL , it is 12 and for next year 11.
For JSW steel, it is 13 and next year 11.

So steel stocks are good picks now as other index stocks PEs are more than 15 to 20.

BP who is the holder of 30% of Tech mahindra will soon like to get out of Tech Mahindra. It is in need of funds and is looking for a buyer. First offer will be to tech mahindra. But Tech mahindra will not be much interested . This sell out may take place before Mahindra Satyam merger and hence there is chance of open offer and the likely bulk sale price may be around Rs.900/-.Global PE firms are interested for the stake buy.

IFCI: Hold . No fresh buy.
Govt has appointed advisor for IFCI who will submit report before dec2010. Banking licence will take some time and it will not be issued in the current year as lot of comments and counter comments and then firm guidelines are expected which will take not less than 6 months from now.

Mahindra satyam:Sell till Rs.80/-
At Rs 90.10, Mahindra Satyam’s stock is trading at 13 times its 2011-12 estimated earnings, which is not cheap.

Avoid this share till clear picture emanates. We got good shares like patni computers etc which are good now.


Unitech: sell(Rs.94/-)
Overheated and risky. Profitability of the stock is still a question and it is a gamble . So exercise caution investors.Present PE(TTM) 33 against sector PE of 22.This is as per reuters rating. PE around 10 to 15 appears to be reasonable. Unitech is not in Nifty also now. So avoid gambling in this stock.


Sell software stocks:Since market is going up, it is better to sell software shares and wait for good time. The dollar earnings are reduced due to strength of rupee. When markets goes down and $ strengthens against rupee, then we can go for software stocks. Till such time, either hold or sell.


Sterlite industries: Sell
Supreme court has allowed time upto 18th Oct 2010 from the stay. But it appears that it has to close down the unit due to environmental problems.Supreme court may vet the decision of High court.
So be cautious.

Bank, reality stocks- My opinion is to sell. Bank stocks are overvalued. If anyone wants to buy, go for specific shares having PE multiples of 18 or less and also growth oriented. Recent wage hike will push up expenses of banks. It will fall like arranged cards. Rupee appreciation, expected reduction in growth targets will pull down software stock price. So better to exit now and re-enter at lower levels. Nifty may hover between 6300 to 6400 due to global stock market positive trend and faith in India's growth by FII .But domestic institutions and retail investors should step in and replace FII soon.Otherwise , a crash like situation may emerge at any time as FII move fast where they get good returns. Bringing back ELSS to all people in savings plan giving income tax benefit will help market to enthusiaze public to finance share market and replace FII thus removing the fear of RBI for exit of FIIs. Finance ministry may look into it.

Banks now have NPAs in dangerous levels in education loans, agri loans and to some extent in housing loans. Also there will be less housing loan business expected for reality and banking sector after revised Direct tax code comes in as no income tax benefit is given for repayment of principal of housing loans. Financial consultants,banks, reality companies and experts should recommend to Govt about bringing back the benefit under Sec.80C. Banks will feel the heat once many more private players enter into the areana of banking field like reliance capital, L&T and IFCI etc.

Bank, reality stocks- My opinion is to sell. Bank stocks are overvalued.Recent wage hike will push up expenses of banks. It will fall like arranged cards.

Nifty may hover between 6300 to 6400 due to global stock market positive trend and faith in India's growth by FII .But domestic institutions and retail investors should step in and replace FII soon.Otherwise , a crash like situation may emerge at any time as FII move fast where they get good returns. Bringing back ELSS to all people in savings plan giving income tax benefit will help market to enthusiaze public to finance share market and replace FII thus removing the fear of RBI for exit of FIIs. Finance ministry may look into it.

Banks now have NPAs in dangerous levels in education loans, agri loans and to some extent in housing loans. Also there will be less housing loan business expected for reality and banking sector after revised Direct tax code comes in as no income tax benefit is given for repayment of principal of housing loans. Financial consultants,banks, reality companies and experts should recommend to Govt about bringing back the benefit under Sec.80C. Banks will feel the heat once many more private players enter into the areana of banking field like reliance capital, L&T and IFCI etc.
