Money Control

Medial
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has kept its key repo rate unchanged at 6.5 percent for the seventh consecutive time. This decision has narrowed the window for investors to maximize gains from debt funds. The growth and inflation projections for the fiscal year remain at 7 percent and 4.5 percent respectively, and the voting stance remains consistent at 5-1. Experts believe that this is a good time to invest in fixed-income products and lock in high yields across various products such as government bonds, corporate bonds, and fixed deposit instruments.

The Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) has made several suggestions for the upcoming budget. They propose that long-term capital gains on listed shares or units of equity-oriented fund schemes be taxed at 10% for gains exceeding Rs 2 lakh, and gains from assets held for more than three years should be exempt from tax. AMFI also requests tax concessions on debt mutual funds, revision of the definition of Equity Oriented Funds, parity in taxation on commodity funds, alignment of tax treatment for pension MF schemes and NPS, an increase in the threshold limit of withholding tax, and the introduction of a Debt Linked Savings Scheme.

Association of Mutual Funds (AMFI) CEO Venkat Chalasani has welcomed the increase in the exemption limit for long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax proposed by the Indian government. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently announced an increase in both long-term and short-term capital gains tax rates, which surprised the mutual fund industry. However, industry participants believe that the impact on investors will be temporary and not serious. The increase in the LTCG exemption limit to INR 1.25 lakh per year is expected to benefit lower- and middle-income groups. Experts believe that the tax changes will have a minimal negative impact on the mutual fund industry.

DSP Mutual Fund acquires Volt Money

DSP Mutual Fund has acquired Volt Money, a platform providing instant secured loans against mutual funds, according to three sources aware of the development. “The two companies were in talks for the past few months and the deal ultimately closed last month. Following the acquisition, Volt Money key team members will join DSP Mutual Fund,” said one of the sources requesting anonymity as talks are private. Volt Money collaborates with lenders and distribution partners to provide instant secured loans with favorable terms. The company offers credit lines ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 1 crore, with interest rates starting at 9% and flexible repayment options. Led by Lalit Bihani, Ankit Agarwal, and Bharat Lamba, the firm raised $1.5 million in a Seed round led by Titan Capital and All In Capital, with participation from individuals including Praveen Jadhav of Raise Ventures, Aditi Kothari of DSP Adiko Holdings, Gemba Capital, Kunal Shah of Cred, and Ashish Kehair and Rahul Jain from Nuvama Wealth. Managed by DSP Investment Managers, DSP Mutual Fund offers investment products across equity, debt, hybrid, and international funds. According to sources, the deal did not provide significant returns for investors. “Volt was unable to secure a follow-on round after its seed funding, but this is a reasonable outcome for the founders,” said another source who wished to remain anonymous. Queries sent to Volt Money and DSP Mutual Fund did not elicit responses until publication of the story. Volt Money competes with Quicklends and DhanLap. Last year, fintech unicorn BharatPe also entered the loans-against-mutual-funds space through a partnership with Volt Money.
