Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Current open Infra Bond Application form   The stock markets have been volatile since the last few months mainly due to the uncertainty in the developed markets, especially in the Euro region and concern on domestic growth rate. The inflation rate remains high even after many rounds of monetary policy tightening by the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ).

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Current open Infra Bond Application form   The Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) is planning to allow certificates of deposit (CDs) and commercial paper ( CP ) with residual maturities of 60 days or less on the exchange platform. This step is seen as a precursor to the mark to market (MTM, revaluing assets at current worth) requirements for mutual funds ( MFs ), to be implemented from Day 1. Last week, Sebi brought down the threshold for MTM of debt securities by MFs to 60 days from 91 days. Sebi wants to take it to Day 1. At present, it is difficult to draw yield curve maturities below 60 days. In the normal course, the short-term yield curve has to be upward sloping. But, since prices are not transparent, we have a flat yield curve. A CD is a time deposit with a bank. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks and can be bought through brokerages. They bear a specific maturity date, a specified interest rate and can be issued

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Current open Infra Bond Application form     IT IS January, and most companies would have asked their employees to submit their tax-saving proofs immediately. One of the common mistakes most tax savers make is they buy a product that helps them save tax without being sure what they can expect out of that product. For them, saving tax as a goal becomes more important than the potential benefits or returns the investment could provide. Subsequently, tax savers who have not been able to make their investment in a tax-sensitive and investment-friendly manner will want to sell or close their investments as soon as possible. This would not provide the desired expectation out of the investment. It is, therefore, important to include tax saving as a part of the overall financial plan. While taxes are inevitable, a smart tax plan will reduce the impact of tax on the income. When planning for investment in tax-saving products, one must consider the need,

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Current open Infra Bond Application form   The Union government has reduced the cap on subscription by retail investors in the ~3,000-crore tax-free bond issue of Rural Electrification Corp ( REC ) to ~1 lakh, from ~5 lakh that was allowed for previous such issues. A notification dated February 14 issued by Central Board of Direct Taxes ( CBDT ) clearing the issue has said that "any individual investing over ~1 lakh will be classified as high net worth individual ( HNIs )".

Arun Kejriwal, director, Kejriwal Research and Investment Services said, "The unsubscribed retail portion, which is going to be significa

It ensures 92 per cent purity of gold ornaments. Hallmarks are, thus, official marks used in many countries as a guarantee of purity or fineness of precious metal articles. Jewellery hallmarking provides a third-party assurance — that a buyer is getting the right purity of gold or silver jewellery for the given price. Many buyers get their jewellery re-checked by a third party — BIS — to confirm the purity of the piece. Now, the hallmark will be a certification for such individuals." Many jewellers like Gitanjali Gems, Tanishq and Waman Hari Pethe already provide hallmarked jewellery. In 2007, hallmarking was made mandatory in four metro cities. "Last time," says Mehul Choksi, CMD of Gitanjali Gems,
