Budget 2010-11 : Post Budget Analysis

Budget 2010-11 Highlights

q   The fiscal deficit of 5.5% for FY11 is better than our expectation of 5.7%. The roadmap to reduce it further to 4.8% and 4.1% in FY12 and FY13 is welcome

q   Govt borrowings capped at Rs3.5 tn; +ve

q   Indirect tax: Rollback of 2% is as per market expectation

q   No change in service tax is a positive surprise

q   Reduction in surcharge from 10% to 7.5% +ve, but MAT increase from 15% to 18% marginally  -ve

q   Overall, we believe that the budget was positive for the economy/market and there was no major negative surprise

q   However, after the initial euphoria, market will start following the fundamentals of the economy, corporate earnings and the global events

However, the real debate is:

q   Whether the fiscal deficit will slip beyond 5.5%?

q   Whether the revenues targets are overstated and the expenses are understated?

q   Why there was no commitment in the FM's speech to curb the inflation?
