Budget 2024: Zerodha's Nithin Kamath wants govt to add additional exemption in capital gains tax

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Zerodha co-founder and chief Nithin Kamath on Friday pitched for adding an additional tax exemption on capital gains under Section 54F in the upcoming Budget. Section 54F of the Income Tax Act provides for an exemption on long-term capital gains, arising from the transfer of any capital asset other than a residential house. This exemption is available if the net proceeds from the transfer is invested in purchasing or constructing a residential house. Kamath said, including tax exemption for investments in startups under this section along with investments in residential property can make startup investing mainstream. "One of the biggest challenges the Indian economy faces is structural unemployment among youth. Growth will always be uneven unless this improves. Part of the solution is to do everything to encourage entrepreneurs, even in small towns and villages in India. VCs will never go to these areas. Which means other wealthy peo...

Sebi cracks down on gaming apps involved in virtual trading

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Mumbai: The capital market regulator is cracking down on gaming apps providing virtual trading services and fantasy games based on the movement of real-time share prices of listed companies, which have mushroomed over the past few years in the wake of high retail investor appetite for stock trading. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has asked exchanges and depositories not to share real-time price data with third parties in a move aimed at quashing such activities. "If the data is used for education or fun purposes it's fine, but monetary incentives can't be allowed based on the performance of the virtual stock portfolio," said a regulatory official. "Then it's like dabba trading, which is illegal." The Sebi action, however, will not impact media agencies providing real-time data feeds. Agencies 'Precautionary Measure' Several stock gaming online platforms have been launched in Ind...
