Specifically for financial services, the proposal to simplify KYC processes and the suggestion of a consultative approach in the review of regulatory framework are items that give positive vibes for business. The recognition of p-notes issued by IFSC based offshore banks is a huge positive for the IFSC. The withdrawal of tax benefits on insurance products where aggregate annual premia exceed Rs. 5 lacs in a year is a dampener for the insurance industry. Financial institutions need to critically consider the quality of their account holder related tax information reports with hefty penalties being introduced for inaccurate or false reports."
Allowing foreign banks to conduct acquisition financing from GIFT City is a welcome step and will attract many more banks to set up offices in GIFT IFSC. Recognizing ODIs as valid contracts will give fillip to the securities market. The dual budget proposal for a single window clearance for IFSCA, SEZ, RBI, SEBI and GSTN at GIFT City, and the inclusion of arbitration law will draw global institutions from the BFSI sector here. This will further augment Gift city as of one of the leading international financial centers of the world. Creating property tax governance reforms and ring-fencing user charges on urban infrastructure in cities will surely strengthen the municipal bonds markets in India.

Sandeep Bagla- CEO, TRUST AMC: From a bond market perspective, the borrowing numbers are in line with expectations. With the US yields down so much from peak, Indian yields were looking for opportunity to go down as well. The Budget is a non negative event, and has triggered a minor rally today. The investment demand from insurance companies, provident funds is likely to remain strong on back of increasing corpus and FPIs could turn buyers as the real interest rates have turned significantly positive as well. If inflation remains under control and there is no incremental hawkishness shown by the central bankers, it is quite possible that Indian bonds could rally by 50-60 basis points this calendar year.
Sakshi Gupta, Principal Economist, HDFC Bank, Mumbai: "The budget continues to focus on capex spending as the engine of growth while also paying heed to fiscal consolidation. The lower-than-expected borrowing number for FY24 is likely to bring in some relief for the bond market, although the absolute borrowings continues to remain high and is likely to put a floor for bond yields in FY24. Moreover, we remain cautious over the government's ability to finance the fiscal deficit through the increased reliance on small savings despite the new schemes introduced as bank deposit rates rise. The consumption boost through income tax slab adjustment is a big positive and bodes well for overall growth and domestic demand in a time when global risks remain high."
