Email from Mr Chilukuri K R L Rao of Hyderabad
Dear Mr.Ramesh Bhat,
I believe you are the "Hanuman" who can bring in "Sanjeevani"(the trail only model which can give a new lease of life to the dying IFA fraternity).
Please use all your might to get the comments of as many of our IFA friends as possible, on the discussion topic.
If we don't get the Trail only model, we will be giving a chance to the churners and there by a chance for the Regulator to come in. That will not be good for us Sir.
If you can not do it, no one else will be able to do it.
Please save the small IFAs.
With Best Regards,
CHILUKURI K R L RAO, B.E.,

Dividend Distribution Tax on Debt Mutual Funds Hiked to 25%
From 1 June 2013, any dividends paid out by debt mutual funds to individuals will have to deduct Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) of 25%, regardless of the type of scheme. Equity mutual funds (>65% in equity shares) will not pay such a DDT, as earlier.
As of now, non equity mutual funds have to pay the following Dividend Distribution Tax when paying out:
Individual or HUFNon-individual
| Type of Fund | ||
Money Market /Liquid Fund
|
25%
|
30%
|
| All other non-equity Funds |
12.5%
|
30%
|
The 12.5% is now being changed to 25%.
This dividend is not taxed in the hands of the fund holder but then the NAV will come down that much. For example if I hold a fund with an NAV of Rs. 11, and it decides to pay out Rs. 1 per unit as dividend, it will pay a DDT of Rs. 0.25 and the NAV will fall down to Rs. 9.75. Effectively, that tax is paid by you.
The relevant extract in the memorandum is:
Under the existing provisions of section 115R any amount of income distributed by the specified company or a Mutual Fund to its unit holders is chargeable to additional income-tax. In case of any distribution made by a fund other than equity oriented fund to a person who is not an individual and HUF, the rate of tax is 30% whereas in case of distribution to an individual or an HUF it is 12.5% or 25% depending on the nature of the fund.In order to provide uniform taxation for all types of funds, other than equity oriented fund, it is proposed to increase the rate of tax on distributed income from 12.5% to 25% in all cases where distribution is made to an individual or a HUF.
This is a bummer for all those that have bought the dividend option of any non-equity fund, including:
- Gilt Funds
- Bond Funds
- Income funds
- Balanced funds (where equity is less than 65%)
- Fund of Funds
- Gold Funds
Solution: Buy the Growth option instead. You can set up a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) that simulates dividends, and not have to pay this tax in whatever form. Since the change in DDT applies from 1 June 2013, so you have the time to now move your debt investments to the growth option.
Note: Uma notes that you may actually pay more - there's a 10% surcharge that applies, so the real tax including cess is a little above 28%. However a switch to growth option may involve an exit load (if you shift before the exit load term). Also, if there are any capital gains, you will have to pay short or long term taxes on them.
Note2: The above "exception" may not be true. After Uma's note, I checked the actual finance bill, it seems to say that a 5% tax will apply BEYOND the above distribution tax.
They told us DDT was toxic. Now we know it applies to anything that forms that acronym.

ARN Renewal Issue - Thanks to Mr. CHILUKURI for this eye opener
Reliance Mutual Fund sent me an AMFI circular issued on 10-04-13 on ARN renewal.
It is indeed shocking that AMFI has not only ignored the long standing request of IFAs i.e. there should be a provision for AMFI to get the passing certificate/CPE certification directly from NISM, instead of asking IFAs to submit the same, once ARN is renewed provisionally based on ARN exam marks list, but also effectively reduced the ARN renewal window to Four and half moths (from the earlier window of 6 months).
Let me explain this with an example, If an IFA takes the NISM exam and based on the marks list applies for the renewal of ARN on the same day itself:
If it is assumed that CAMS renews the ARN provisionally based on the marks list and sends the ARN card along with the “forwarding letter” in 15 days, as per the new circular we have to submit the NISM passing certificate within 2 months from the date of this “forwarding letter” failing which ARN will be suspended.
Circular is not clear on what happens to the business done during this suspension period.
Does anyone know for sure that NISM will send the certificate within two and half months from the date of exam? We don’t have any control over it, have we?
If, even after two months after suspension NISM pass certificate is not submitted ARN will be “terminated”. Meaning all the commissions will become void and we will be back to “zero”.
Once again, does anyone know for sure that NISM will send the certificate within four and half months from the date of exam? We don’t have any control over it, have we?
Another troubling thing in the circular is we have to submit the “NISM Pass certificate within 2 months from the date of forwarding letter” lest our ARN would be suspended. We know how efficient CAMS is.
The question that “What if AMFI prints the ARN card and forwarding letter but forgets to post them (intentionally- when it wants to settle scores with IFAs who point out its in-efficiencies & unintentionally in its own inefficient manner)?”
The big flaw in the circular is that by giving importance to date of the “forwarding letter” rather than to the “date of receipt” by the IFA, it is creating an avenue for both fund houses and CAMS to pressurize/punish IFAs.
The main fallout is, we will still be suffering for the inefficiency of other like NISM/CAMS or even courier/postal guys.
The basic question that we all have raised i.e. why should we pay for the inefficiencies of others, still remains un-answered.
Why should ARN renewal be this complex?
Request you take these issues up with AMFI and get these deficiencies eliminated for the sake of IFA community.
Thanking you Sir,
With Best Regards,

- Every time you do what scares you, you take back the power that you gave to the thing that scared you. And so you become more powerful.
- A problem is only a problem if you make the choice to see it as a problem.
- Stop being a victim. Your business and personal life was made by you. No one else is responsible. To make it better, make better choices. And new decisions.
- You can lead without a title. Don't wait to get a position to stand for excellence, peak quality and over delivery on every expectation.
- Find your own style. Be an original. Every superstar differentiated themselves from The Herd. And marched to their own drumbeat.
- Understand that when you play small with your success, you betray your potential. And the birthright you were born under.
- Eat less food and you'll get more done.
- As you become more successful, stay really really hungry. Nothing fails like success. Because when you are successful, it's easy to stop out learning+out Over Delivering+out thinking and out executing everyone around you. (Success is Beautiful. And dangerous).
- If you're not over prepared, you're underprepared.
- The only level of great manners to play at is 'Exceedingly Polite' . In our world, this alone will make you a standout. And differentiate you in your marketplace.

- To double your results, double your level of execution.
- Invest in your personal and pro development. All superstars do.
- Get this year's best Targets of Opportunity down onto a 1 Page Plan. Then review it every morning while the rest of the world sleeps.
- You don't get lucky. You create lucky.
- When you push through a difficult project, you don't get to the other side. You reach The Next Level.
- Smile. And remember to inform your face.
- Spend time in solitude every day. Your best ideas live there.
- Debrief on how you lived out your day every night in a journal. This will not only record your personal history, it will make you uber-clear on what you’re doing right and what needs to be improved.
- If your not being criticized a lot, you're not doing very much. Ridicule is the price of ambition.
- Develop a monomaniacal focus on just a few things. The secret to productivity is simplicity.
- To get the results very few people have, be strong enough to do what very few people are willing to do.
- Rest. Recover. It'll make you stronger.
- Buy a smaller TV and build a larger library.
- Remember that the bigger the goal, the stronger a person you must become to achieve that goal. So goal-achieving is a superb practice for character-building.
- Food fuels your body. Learning feeds your mind.
- Don't ask for respect. Earn it.
- Finish what you start. And always end strong.
- Breathe.
- In business, don't play to survive. Play to win.

- Give more than you take. The marketplace rewards generosity.
- Know that if it's not messy, you're not making progress.
- Be a hero to a kid.
- In business, aim for iconic. Go for legendary. Make history by how awesome you are at what you do.
- Please don't confuse activity with productivity. Many many people are simply busy being busy.

- The best anti-aging remedy in the world is working really hard.
- World-Class performers have no plan B. Failure just isn't an option.
- You have the power to change the world - one brave act and one person at a time. Please use it.
My best wishes to you!

தொழிலக உற்பத்தி விகிதம் 0.6%-ஆக குறைவு
பிப்ரவரி மாத தொழிலக உற்பத்தி வளர்ச்சி விகிதம் 0.6 சதவீதமாக குறைந்துள்ளது என்று மத்திய அரசு வெள்ளிக்கிழமை வெளியிட்டுள்ள புள்ளிவிவரங்களிலிருந்து தெரிய வந்துள்ளது.
தொழிற்சாலைகளின் உற்பத்தி அளவின் வளர்ச்சி விகிதக் குறியீடு, கடந்த ஆண்டு பிப்ரவரி மாதத்தில் 4.3 சதவீதமாக இருந்தது. இவ்வாண்டு ஜனவரி மாதத்தின் உற்பத்தி விகிதம் 2.4 சதவீதமாக இருந்தது என்பதும் இங்கு குறிப்பிடத் தகுந்தது.
தயாரிப்புத் துறை மந்தமாக உள்ளதையே இது காட்டுகிறது என்றும் உற்பத்தியை ஊக்குவிக்க வட்டி விகிதத்தை குறைக்க வேண்டும் என்றும் பல்வேறு வர்த்தக, தொழில் அமைப்புகள் வலியுறுத்தியுள்ளன. மின் உற்பத்தி மோசமடைந்திருப்பது, நிலக்கரி உற்பத்தி குறைந்துள்ளது, தயாரிப்புத் துறை தேக்கம் அடைந்துள்ளது ஆகிய காரணங்களால், பிப்ரவரி மாத தொழிலக உற்பத்தி விகிதம் மிகவும் குறைந்த அளவில் உள்ளது எனத் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
மான்டேக் சிங் அலுவாலியா கருத்து: பிப்ரவரி மாத தொழிலக உற்பத்தி வளர்ச்சி விகிதம் 0.6 சதவீதமாக குறைந்துள்ளது பற்றி திட்டக்குழு துணைத் தலைவர் மான்டேக் சிங் அலுவாலியா கூறியது:
தொழிற்சாலைகளில் நடைபெறும் உற்பத்தியைப் பொருத்தவரை, 2012-2013 நிதி ஆண்டு சுமாரானதுதான். ஆனால் 2013-2014-ஆம் ஆண்டில் பொருளாதார வளர்ச்சி சிறப்பாக இருக்கும் என்று உறுதியாக கூற முடியும். தொழிலக உற்பத்தி விகிதம் வளர்ச்சியே காணவில்லை என்பதைவிட, குறைவாக உள்ளது என்பது சற்று ஆறுதலைத் தருகிறது. நிலக்கரி சுரங்கங்களில் உற்பத்தி குறைந்திருப்பதுதான் தொழிலக உற்பத்தி விகிதம் குறைந்ததற்கு முக்கிய காரணம். இது விரைவில் சரி செய்யப்படும் என்று நான் நம்புகிறேன் என்று அவர் கூறியிருக்கிறார்.
