Benefits to the consumer

    their bank account which can be used to pay for the first cylinder.
  • This advance then can be used to buy 12 LPG cylinders weighing 14.2 Kgs OR 34 5 Kgs cylinders. Subsidy amount = Current subsidised rate – market price. This difference amount is credited to the customer's bank account.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.

Mutual Fund Review: SBI Bluechip Fund

Given SBI Bluechip Fund's past performance and shrinking asset base, the fund has neither been able to hold back its investors nor enthuse new ones   LAUNCHED at the peak of the bull-run in January 2006, SBI Bluechip was able to attract many investors given the fact that it hails from the well-known fund house. However, the fund so far has not been able to live up to the expectation of investors. This was quite evident by its shrinking asset under management. The scheme is today left with only a third of its original asset size of Rs 3,000 crore. PERFORMANCE: The fund has plunged in ET Quarterly MF rating as well. From its earlier spot in the silver category in June 2009 quarter, the fund now stands in the last cadre, Lead.    Benchmarked to the BSE 100, the fund has outperformed neither the benchmark nor the major market indices including the Sensex and the Nifty.
