Hasty Indian Budget deters developmental aspect of IT industries...







Indian economy is under constant pressure to fight back inflation and other economical crises though it is hit hard by all kinds of catastrophes. The most sought after and the powerful domain is the STPI or the IT which drastically grew in the past few years. This was predominantly because there were tax incentives declared by the Indian government. China duplicated this idea and now has become one of the strongest nations that successfully manage trade.

China’s motives were basically to introduce tax concessions and to develop its technological and industrial growth. It went a step further and introduced zero tax payments for manufacturing sectors and a 12.5% tax concession after two years of zero taxation. For now china has a lot more than what India has as its fund reserve. It is approximately figured to $3 trillion which is an absolutely unbelievable improvement as to what it was in its mid 70’s. China wasn’t having enough foreign currency to do a simple trade wherein it has now become one of the most trustworthy nations for business and investments.

Chinese products are traded all over India with its conventional tag and this shows how effectively Chinese economy has grown. Chinese makes are costlier yet aren’t badly affected on grounds of sales. China made smart use of the resources and funds it drew from the other countries now standing as one of the toppers in selling industrial goods. Within a few years china will have become the master of all trades and we would probably depend on china for typical products that we need.

India, in future is predictably a loser. Making illegal use of what shouldn’t be is just happening all over India. India was funded by the UK for foreign currency and showed equivalent growth to china in the first few years. India now houses more than just a 5000 IT companies that successfully head through the market shares. The STPI or the Software Technology parks of India created the SME or the Small and Medium Enterprises that helps lot of smaller yet dynamic IT firms. With this India trades shares no lesser than 50 %. Budget 2011 announced norms to close down the STPI which very hardly hit the SMEs. This isn’t really a healthier move.

There are primarily some reasons that lead to the termination of the STPI.

Real estate plays a main role in freezing out the STPI mode and major IT parks are becoming more popular in selling land instead of what they are supposed to do. The SME or the small and medium enterprises are the worst hits in this change as the plan aims at constructing industrial towns with liberalization in taxation for a few years of growth. Smaller IT firms fall under this category as their developmental aspects are completely washed out. CEOs also let a sentence out that IT industries must exercise proper yet reasonable taxation eventually closing down the STPI design. SEZ or the special economic zones have been constructed all over the country that very greatly downgrades the growth of smaller industries.

India might be quite progressive over the next few years but that doesn’t mean it is doing well in the grounds of Information Technology. China has increased its market shares by 40 % and Philippines has surpassed India in terms of market shares and trading. This is really a perfect instance for an emerging economy...

So where is India??? With all bad terms together India is out of the game now... IT was India’s trump card but the budget totally exploited the way smarter chance of India getting developed...

The Struggling RBI and the Inflation Crisis...



The RBI- the Money chamber, is really moving out of control… Though it really wants to cut inflation things don’t work the right way possible… With an unbelievable 7 rate hikes RBI stands baffled with the rising inflation and price hikes. Banks are pettier than how RBI is; we all know that quite possibly... Banks rely on RBI for their circulation of money and basic funding. RBI had a hike of its repo rates whatever banks weren’t feasibly able to generate their own income.

The oil and fuel prices rocketing to a great range is one of the most important reasons of rise of inflation…. As a result, inflation led to a situation where people weren’t able to pay their interests as interest rates hiked up, lessening their savings to more than a half as to what had been in the previous years and with destruction of farms to make industrial townships all over the country is one main reason for food inflation. Though there were good rains India hasn’t found any increase in its agricultural growth due to increasing housing and industrial sites.

Exporters again can’t be happy with what is happening on the Transfer pricing side... The TP doesn’t basically allow 5% margin rates on one transaction or import... If there are two arms length prices it can then permit the 5% margin rate.

In case of banks, Loan rates are high enough to cause the desired inflation. The banks need a good income and that is why they charge higher interest rates. This may not really be helpful because RBI has fixed interest rates for banks where crossing the limit wouldn’t make much sense. The liquidity possibilities from other countries are still obtainable but banks must ensure that there are proper and careful usages of such funds. The dividend is eventually destroyed…

Financial Inclusion is something that people can stop facing in inflations… FI is a situation where the lower or the most vulnerable classes don’t get funds that they possibly have to. Inflation applies to all citizens so there is a uniform hit to all the classes....

Whatever is the reason, class or industry inflation does affect everyone in the country...
